Gameplay

  • The game now uses an updated control scheme similar to Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
    • the Right Stick on the Switch (dual Joy-Con) is now used to freely control the camera.
    • In order to swarm, the player must hold down the L Button on the Switch while tilting the Right Stick on the Switch (dual Joy-Con).
    • Left Stick click on the Switch (dual Joy-Con) now resets the cursor.
    • Motion controls can be enabled from the controller screen on Olimar's monitor.
      • If enabled, tilting the controller while holding the A Button on the Switch or the B Button on the Switch will move the cursor.
    • Pressing the button repeatedly for continued plucking is no longer required, simply holding the A Button on the Switch while plucking will have the player continue until no more sprouts are left.
    • The infamous crushing glitch was fixed.
  • Throwing a Pikmin while running no longer causes it to be thrown farther.
