  • UI elements are much higher in resolution. Some UI elements have been modified since the game is no longer on the GameCube.
  • The opening cutscene is also higher in resolution, though it does not appear to be upscaled.
  • The number of Pikmin currently holding onto an object is now on the top half of of the carry number, like in Pikmin 3.
  • Much of the product placement in the original game has been removed and replaced with fictional/other brands, likely because Nintendo lost the copyrights to the treasures.
