Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the title of the newest entry in the Pikmin series. It is an enhanced port of Pikmin 3, set to release for the Nintendo Switch on October 30^th, 2020.

Changes

The following differences between Pikmin 3 and the Deluxe version are known:

Gameplay

• There are multiple difficulty modes to choose from.
• Players can play through story mode cooperatively.
• The lock-on system has been enhanced.
• Enemies have been re-balanced.
• The player can enable hints.

Content

• There are new side stories to play through.
  • One of them is a prologue and the other is an epilogue. Both star Captain Olimar and Louie. One of them is titled "Olimar's Assignment". Both can also be played in single-player or cooperatively with two players.
• The Piklopedia has been added.
  • Each entry contains a comment by each of the five leaders, a photo, a general list of habitats, and the amount killed throughout the adventure.
• All the downloadable content from Pikmin 3 is included in the base game of Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
• Players can collect badges by meeting certain conditions, such as the "Animal Annotator" badge for logging 10 Piklopedia entries.

HUD

• There is a mini-map on-screen.
  • The style of the mini-map differs from the Wii U game's radar, in that it uses solid colors instead of textures -- terrain is dark blue, water is a lighter blue, out of bounds locations are black, and walls are cyan. Leaders and the S.S. Drake also have stylized icons with minimalist drawings, instead of smaller versions of their portraits.
• The day counter is gone from the HUD, and the juice counter takes its place.
• Two on-screen prompts exist, informing the player that toggles the KopPad, and "up" on activates hints.
• Text in dialog boxes in cutscenes is aligned to the center of the box instead of the left.

Area changes

• The ground of the shore to the north of the landing site in Twilight River has grass, instead of decayed leaves and dirt.
• The area around the Swooping Snitchbug in the Distant Tundra has been made wider, and an ice trail was added.

Other changes

• Dirt walls have horizontal white stripes on the "pillars" holding them up.

Other information

• Game size: 6.5 GB.
• Supported play modes: TV, tabletop, and handheld.
• Supports cloud save data.
• Supports online play.
