Gameplay

Pikmin 3 will play in a similar fashion to previous installments. However, the pikmin themselves will be able to preform a multitude of different tasks. There are new hazards such as ice and magma-based enemies. Olimar is, for a reason Miyamoto wants to stay secret, not a playabale character. Instead, a pink-haired girl, a bald general, a small green haird boy and a tall, green-haired man are the playable characters.

Pikmin will break walls differently based one where they attack walls, and the various other new tasks can be performed, such as picking up fruit and anything else used for nourishment.

The captains will be able to throw other captans and appear to be able to play with eachother on the main story mode.

The controls and battle mechanics will be much more detailed. For example. The players can use the Wii controls, and shake the wii remote to throw Pikmin, and shake the nunchuck to charge. Also, the Pikmin will be able to do more damage depend on where they hit a specific monster. THe Wiimotion Plus is required for Wii controls.
