There is a premade ''WarioWare D.I.Y.'' game called Pikmin. In the game, the throwing cursor moves back and forth. When you tap the screen, Olimar will throw a red Pikmin to the cursor. You must land on the rock where nectar is to win. If you miss, the Pikmin will land in the pond and drown.

Nectar is a common item that can be found inside "?" blocks, and are leftovers from destroyed enemies. When a player collects 3, they will level up. It takes level 5 to get a bud, and level 10 to get a flower. As a Pikmin, you will drop a few drops of nectar when shaken off of an enemy. When your player is hit, they will drop a few drops of nectar, as well.

If you aren't doing very well on a specific stage, the game will eventually spawn a rainbow "!" block near your starting point. Once this block is broken, you will automatically receive level 50 in nectar.

''"Nectar is a condensed, highly nutritional food source that has been scientifically proven to encourage a Pikmin's growth. Also, it looks delicious."''

Nectar behaves differently in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Nectar consumption is limited to 10 Pikmin per droplet. However, invididual pikmin will drink the droplet bit by bit, making it shrink in size, rather than a single Pikmin drinking all of the Nectar at once.
When on the ground, any Pikmin that pass by it (that aren't flower), will crouch down and begin to slurp it, regardless of being idle or not. A single Pikmin can drink an entire blob on its own. However, as long as the drop is being slurped, other Pikmin can be sent to drink it as well. Only around 50 Pikmin can drink nectar at one time. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', if the drop has already begun to be slurped, no more Pikmin can join.

In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', the Pikmin can only drink nectar if the blob is at "full size".
==Glitch==
There is glitch that occurs if a drop of nectar, such as one from a petrified enemy, falls on top of a pile of sticks used to build a [[bridge]]. If the sticks are removed from under the drop by building the bridge, the drop will remain suspended in the air. Pikmin can be made to drink the nectar by throwing them at it, and they will fall back to the ground once the nectar is all used up.

Another glitch can occur if Olimar walks into a drop of nectar and starts throwing Pikmin. Sometimes the pikmin will hit the surface of the nectar from underneath and bounce right back in front of Olimar.

==Strategy==
The best way to get a lot of Pikmin flowerized is to use a few flower Pikmin to pull the grass/break the rocks to get the nectar, as flower Pikmin won't drink nectar. This will save the problem of a single Pikmin drinking an entire blob because it lands on top of it. Then, swarm as many leaf and/or bud Pikmin as you can to the nectar. This strategy does not apply to ''Pikmin 3 ''because nectar has been limited to ten individual uses only.

Nectar is used to turn leaf or bud Pikmin directly into flower Pikmin. A single drop of nectar can be shared by several Pikmin, which makes these drops quite important when growing a strong army. There are numerous places where nectar is found:

In most of these places, more than a single drop of nectar may fall at once.

When on the ground, any Pikmin that pass by it (that aren't flower), will crouch down and begin to slurp it, regardless of being idle or not. A single Pikmin can drink an entire blob on its own. However, as long as the drop is being slurped, other Pikmin can be sent to drink it as well. Only around 50 Pikmin can drink nectar at one time. In Pikmin, if the drop has already begun to be slurped, no more Pikmin can join.

Glitch

There is glitch that occurs if a drop of nectar, such as one from a petrified enemy, falls on top of a pile of sticks used to build a bridge. If the sticks are removed from under the drop by building the bridge, the drop will remain suspended in the air. Pikmin can be made to drink the nectar by throwing them at it, and they will fall back to the ground once the nectar is all used up.
