Elements from the Pikmin series have appeared in several other Nintendo games. The Super Smash Bros. series in particular is well-known for having references to multitudes of Nintendo series and, more recently, those of other companies.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

The Pikmin trophy in the second Super Smash Bros. game.

Of this game's nearly 300 trophies two are based on Pikmin. One features a group of standing Pikmin of the three colors that are present in the first game in the series, while the other is a trophy of Captain Olimar that can only be obtained if you have a Pikmin save on your memory card.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Main article: Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the latest and third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the only series where Pikmin elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of Olimar as a playable character.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

If the player hits the ball into a Flower Bed, the three Pikmin types from the first game will fly out.

Super Mario Galaxy

A supposed representation of the ship in Super Mario Galaxy.

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 colors, three fins and two bubble-shaped cockpit windows.

Warioware: Smooth Moves

The Empress Bulblax makes a cameo appearance in the game WarioWare: Smooth Moves, wherein the player must tilt the Wii-mote to roll the beast from side to side in an endeavour to squash Pikmin. This mini-game is called "Pikmin 2", and the background music is the music played on the demo screens in Pikmin 1. It can be seen in this video, uploaded by razorruss.
