Unlike the previous ''Pikmin'' games, which were 3D real-time strategy games, this one is a 2.5D sidescroller. Players control [[Captain Olimar]] left or right on the ground, since it doesn't look like he can jump, and also vertically when climbing a vine or underwater. Players can [[whistle]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] from anywhere on the screen, which brings them to Olimar's side, and once there, can be [[throw]]n by him to wherever the player taps. With the help of the Pikmin, the player must defeat [[enemies]] and collect [[treasure]]s on their way to the goal. | Unlike the previous ''Pikmin'' games, which were 3D real-time strategy games, this one is a 2.5D sidescroller.

Gameplay happens on the bottom screen, although both screens show the action. Captain Olimar lands on the stage after being beamed down by a blue ship that highly resembles the [[Research Pod]]. Pikmin that are thrown at branches from below go up through them and land on top of them. Pikmin that land close to a task like a pile of [[bridge fragment]]s will automatically walk towards it and begin working on it. Enemy health is represented with a horizontal bar, unlike the [[HUD#Health wheel|pie chart]] of previous games. Blue Pikmin thrown while underwater are tossed in a straight line instead of an arc. | Gameplay happens on the bottom screen, although both screens show the action.

There are some golden nut-like objects that seem to be important, since they're shown several times throughout the gameplay footage. | There are some golden nut-like objects that seem to be important, since they're shown several times throughout the gameplay footage. | ||
