Pikipedia:April Fool's Day/Piki Plucker: Difference between revisions

'''''Piki Plucker''''' was a [[Pikmin series|Pikmin]] game released in April of 2020 and closed in May of 2020. It was the first of a series of experimental titles released by Nintendo to tap into the PC and mobile market. As a result, its gameplay was quite different from the usual games in the series. It was available to play for free in the link above.

Players were tasked with amassing the highest number of Pikmin they can. To do so, they would click on Onions, with each click generating one Pikmin. Eventually, the task became too monotonous and so players were given the chance to spend some of their earned Pikmin on farms and upgrades. Farms would create automated Pikmin farms, that generated new Pikmin over time, and upgrades made existing gameplay mechanics more powerful. On occasion, [[Cupid's Grenade]]s would appear, granting the player with a boost in numbers, or killing off some Pikmin.

As the player reached higher and higher Pikmin totals, they would unlock achievements, which represented [[treasures]]. Since the player could obtain many more Pikmin than the usual [[100 Pikmin limit|100]] in the main games, these treasures were larger than the usual handheld items of the real world.

The game started off with [[Red Pikmin]]. As the player progressed, they could purchase [[Onion]]s and obtain [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], [[Rock Pikmin]], and [[Winged Pikmin]], in that order. Later still, the player could obtain [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s, allowing them to convert Pikmin into [[White Pikmin]], and finally, [[Violet Candypop Buds]], to allow the creation of [[Purple Pikmin]].

The first farm took on the form of [[leader]]s helping around and generating Pikmin. Then, a series of [[Pellet Posy]] farms, one for each color. From then on, all farms are based on [[enemy]] harvesting. The following enemies could be farmed:

Some upgrades gave the player new Onions and Candypop Buds. Two upgrades increased the expertise of leader farms, three increased the number that appear on the [[pellet]]s of Pellet Posies, and three upgraded the [[maturity]] and [[ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] status of Pikmin in their farms. Two upgrades made Cupid's Grenades more powerful. Afterwards, there were upgrades locked behind [[boss]] battles:

The first three increased the number of Pikmin produced per click, the fourth increased Cupid's Grenade frequency, and the final increased Pikmin farm efficiency.

Some of the treasures obtained in the achievements were treasures from {{p2}}, but the majority refer to new things. There were 12 treasures altogether.
