Nintendo Land's plaza contains several statues of items and objects the player can encounter in each attraction. Some of these statues represent items found in the Pikmin Adventure attraction. By touching the statues on the GamePad or by jumping into them with the controllable Mii, the player can see each statue's name as well as a brief description of the item represented, provided by Monita. The following article will detail the relevant objects and items in Pikmin Adventure.

Spike Ball

Spike Balls are weapons or projectiles used by Pikmin Adventure's enemies. Enemies seen shooting Spike Balls include Telescoping Pumphog and Bilious Bulborb. The Greater Studded Beeb has spike balls for hands.

Monita's Notes

  European version
I thought that by adding spikes to this ball, I'd encourage you to run faster...

Bulborb Dropping

When players are eaten by a Bulborb, they are turned into a dropping. To return to normal, the Pikmin have to attack the dropping to free the player.

Monita's Notes

  European version
People eaten by a Bulborb are forced to wear this. It's the little details that make this attraction feel like a real Pikmin adventure!

Draft Jumper

Draft Jumpers are gameplay elements that propel the player to another location of the level.

Monita's Notes

  European version

Drafts of air shoot up from these contraptions, propelling you to a new floor. They're usually locked with a key, but don't worry - you'll probably find one.

Jump Switch

Jump Switches are similar to Draft Jumpers in that they propel the player to another location. The main difference is that this item will send the players in a closer zone. Moreover, every player needs to stand on it to make it work.

Monita's notes

  European version

Gather everyone together on the switch and you'll be catapulted through the air. Finally, an attraction where you don't have to queue!

Nectar

 
A drop of nectar as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

Drops of nectar help the player level up. Every three blobs, a player will level up. It takes level 5 to get a bud, and level 10 to get a flower. Players will also release a few drops of nectar when hurt.

Monita's notes

  European version

Nectar is a condensed, highly nutritional food source that has been scientifically proven to encourage a Pikmin's growth. Also, it looks delicious.

Rock

Rocks are gameplay items that can be thrown at enemies. The latter not only get damaged but can also get stunned for some time.

Monita's notes

  European version

Pikmin are stronger than you think! Case in point: a single Pikmin can lift even this hefty rock. Just don't throw it carelessly or you might end up flattening one of your teammates!
