The Nintendo e-Reader is a Game Boy Advance add-on device that reads a special strip on e-Reader cards via an LED scanner. Its purpose is to unlock mini-games, items, levels or functions for games on the GBA, or as games in themselves. There are multiple available packs of Pikmin e-Reader cards, both released only in Japan after the release of Pikmin 2. Each card contains a number of simple Pikmin-based mini-games, which can be played by connecting the e-Reader to a Game Boy Player connected to a GameCube in which the Pikmin 2 disk is placed.
Pack designs include Onions, Pikmin, Pellet Posies and Candypop Buds, while individual cards depict enemies, Pikmin or captains. Some of the mini-games are as follows:
- "Hikkonuki Pikmin": The player needs to pluck every Pikmin from the ground.
- "Tekuteku Pikmin": The player must control the Pikmin moving in the same direction to try to get them into the goal.
- "Tsunagete Pikmin": The player must move panels around to create a path for the Pikmin so that they can reach the goal.

- The sprites shown in these mini-games are some of the only official Pikmin sprites created by Nintendo to be used. The only other sprites are found outside of Pikmin games, in the Pikmin microgame in WarioWare: D.I.Y. and the unused sprites found in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
