This is a list of strategy guides licensed by Nintendo that involve Pikmin in some way.
Prima Games
Prima Games is the largest strategy guide publisher in the United States. They have made a number of Pikmin-related guides, with in-depth walkthroughs. On top of that, they also commonly include extra information about subjects in the series that isn't given anywhere else, like the scientific names of enemies in Pikmin. Since they are deemed official by Nintendo, anything in them is considered canon unless contradicted by a higher-priority source.
