Pikmin in other media: Difference between revisions

Two of this games large amount of almost 300 trophies are based on Pikmin. One features a group of standing [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] of the three colours that are present in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] in the series, while the other is a trophy of [[Captain Olimar]].

Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in the third game of the series, and is on the starting roster (as opposed to being a secret character that needs to be unlocked). Nearly all of his moves involve the Pikmin, making him dependent on them. Even the simple "grab", in which the player holds an opponent, requires Pikmin. Up to six of these can be plucked from the ground, the color is randomly determined (though the type of ground can also change the likeliness of certain pikmin coming out). The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in [[Pikmin 2]] except [[Bulbmin]]. The Pikmin can die if they are harmed in any way Olimar or any other character can be. Olimar does not take damage when this happens, and each dead one allows one more to be pulled from the ground.

In the Space Junk Galaxy, there is a ship that bears great resemblance to [[The Ship]] in Pikmin 2. It serves no purpose other than as a planetoid between planetoids, part of the level. It is not a precise recreation, and there has been debate over whether it is indeed modelled on the Pikmin ship or whether any similarities are coincidence.  The main features that allow a connection to be drawn are the colours, three fins and two bubble-shaped cockpit windows.
