Miiverse is an application on both Wii U and 3DS. It allows users to share both messages and in-game screenshots publicly or privately to other users. Currently, Pikmin has two Communities present, Pikmin 3, which is for discussion of Pikmin 3 and the Pikmin Short Movies, and the Pikmin 3 Developer Room, where Nintendo Developers, specifically Shigeru Miyamoto, discuss updates to both Pikmin 3, and other important events in the Pikmin franchise.

- Pictures must feature characters appearing in the Pikmin series.
