| | Pikmin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The game Pikmin is a 3D game, with the player controlling Olimar from a third-person viewpoint. | | | Unlike many other video games at the time, Pikmin in this way put an upper limit on the time that a player could spend in one game, as at the end of 30 days, the game was over. | | | Yellow Pikmin are also the only type of Pikmin that can wield explosives, called bomb-rocks in the game. |

| | Pikmin is certainly the stronger of the two Miyamoto games that have graced the Gamecube to this point. | | | She could not force herself to go to bed while the game was going on. | | | A few days into the game, most players will be moving dozens of pikmin around without having to think about it. |

| | Pikmin Review for GameCube - Gaming Age |
| | Pikmin is the best one player game on the GameCube this year. | | | Little details, like the Pikmin kicking up dust as they scamper about, or the randomness of one of the little guys tripping and falling to the ground, only to get back up and run to try and catch up to the rest of the group, are what give this game character appeal. | | | Miyamoto did have a hand in Luigi’s Mansion, his real focus was placed with Pikmin, Nintendo’s most original game released thus far on the Cube. |

| | That game was codenamed "Adam and Eve." Eventually, this idea was found to be far too uninteractive and thus Pikmin were introduced as well as the other concepts found in the game. | | | Several colors of Pikmin exist in the games, each with their own powers. | | | The hero of the games, Captain Olimar, in addition to his partner in the second game, Louie, command the Pikmin in battles with larger creatures residing on the same planet. |

| | After all the sublevels are completed the player with the most pikmin standing wins. | | | Welcome are the familiar play mechanics that gave players intuitive control over the Pikmin and Olimar at the same time, as well as a new toggling mechanic that lets players choose more easily which Pikmin is next to be tossed. | | | Pikmin 2 picks up right where the ending sequence of the first title left off only Captain Olimar has returned home not to praise and rejoicing, but to the news that the company he works for is going bankrupt and in serious need of some quick cash. |

| | Pikmin 2 is one of the slickest gaming experiences of the year, and Olimar is rapidly becoming my favorite Nintendo character. | | | For those of you new to Pikmin 2 the premise of the game is to command an army of small plant-like creatures to carry out your orders. | | | The usual lack of online play; tiny bits of slowdown here and there; Pikmin sometimes get left behind. |

| | Pikmin is a game where you, as Captain Olimar, recruit and control little plant people called Pikmin. | | | The more speed you have, the quicker it is for you to make your way across some of the larger regions in the game (five total). | | | At first, I thought it was kind of odd that Miyamoto would be trying his hand at a strategy game. |

| | Review - Pikmin 2 // Gamecube /// Eurogamer |
| | Purple Pikmin are much bulkier than regular breeds, and count for ten regular Pikmin when it comes to lifting objects or knocking things down, while the white strain are actually poisonous, which allows them to roam through noxious gases and destroy poisonous obstructions, and kill anything that tries to eat them. | | | There were different sorts of Pikmin with particular abilities, and each of the game's levels was filled with ingenious challenges that encouraged forethought and lateral thinking. | | | To give the game structure, there was also a day/night cycle at work, and you had to get all your Pikmin back in their pod by the end of the day or else the bigger nocturnal creatures would come out and gobble them all up. |

| | With Pikmin 2, Nintendo has addressed the bulk of the shortcomings of its predecessor by crafting a game that tops the original in nearly every way. | | | Outside of their specialized abilities, all Pikmin can create bridges and platforms in the game by "building" them. | | | While Pikmin's story might be a bit twisted, the game's control is straightforward, featuring an elegant control setup. |

| | GameSpy.com - Reviews: Pikmin (GameCube) |
| | Hopefully the merchandising for this game will remain simplistic, and not reach the astronomic proportions that Pokemon has enjoyed. | | | I saw this happening, and witnessed young teens deciding to get the GameCube solely to play this game -- though I am sure that a few other games will make it to that console, maybe not for a while. | | | Satoshi was the genius behind that whole phenomenon which is strangely sticking around as far as merchandising is concerned, but it doesn't seem like Nintendo has any plans to bring any new Pokemon games to the GameCube. |

| | It is imperative when playing that you keep your Pikmin population growing and that you also make use of your limited time in order to retrieve parts of the ship littering the landscape of the different levels. | | | The most important reason that the game works so well, however, is that it makes the player feel responsible for the Pikmin. | | | The player will quickly feel guilty everytime one of his mistakes causes Pikmin to be eaten, incinerated, or drowned, their screams of terror floating up to the sky along with a little Pikmin ghost. |

| | The game begins with a small enclosure that houses three of the Pikmin tripods, each hovering over only a couple of Pikmin sprouts hiding in the ground. | | | If the pellet is marked with the number one, you only need to toss one or more Pikmin at it, if it's marked with a twenty, you'll need to toss twenty or more Pikmin at the pellet. | | | With a tweet from your whistle, you catch the nearest Pikmin into your spell and then guide them over to a pellet. |
