'''Pikmin''' are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the video game series they star in, ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]''. These beings inhabit the planet [[pikipedia:PNF-404|PNF-404]], and spend time buried in the ground, with their leaves sticking out. In the series, they are plucked out the ground by the player to use in battles and such. They have made crossover cameos in ''Mario'' games a few times, but their most important role was with the introduction of [[Captain Olimar]] as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

'''Pikmin''' are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the [[Pikmin (franchise)|''Pikmin'' franchise]]. These beings inhabit the planet [[wikipedia:PNF-404|PNF-404]], and spend time buried in the ground, with their leaves sticking out. In the series, they are plucked out the ground by the player to use in battles and such. Pikmin have sometimes appeared in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, but most notably appeared in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], aiding [[Captain Olimar]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
 
==Origin==
In ''[[wikipedia:Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', [[Captain Olimar]] meets the Pikmin after crash-landing on the surface of a mysterious planet. The Pikmin help Olimar fight hostile creatures and recover the missing parts of his ship, the [[wikipedia:S.S. Dolphin|S.S. Dolphin]], so that he can leave the planet and return home. In ''[[wikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]'', Olimar returns to the planet with his subordinate, [[wikipedia:Louie|Louie]], to collect treasure and pay off the debt which their employing company, Hocotate Freight, accrued during the events of the first game. The Pikmin once again assist Olimar and Louie on their adventure.
 
Five of the colored varieties of Pikmin each represent one of the five recognized senses; red Pikmin have noses (smell), yellow have ears (hearing), blue have mouths (taste), purple have fine hairs on their heads representing touch and white Pikmin have superior sight to the others.

[[File:SMM Pikmin.png|frame|left]]
Pikmin, alongside the majority of the ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' cast, cameos as one of the costumes [[Mario]] can obtain in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' via the [[Costume Mario]] power-up. Pikmin sound effects can be heard, the "lose a life" tune is replaced by the Pikmin's own death cries, and the "Course Clear" fanfare is replaced by the tune that plays after obtaining an important item in ''[[pikipediawikipedia:Pikmin 3|Pikmin 3]]''. Pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} causes the red and blue Pikmin to mature into flowers. When underwater, all three of them are encased in a bubble.
 
===Unused appearances===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
Olimar and a group of Pikmin were planned to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' when a new type of coffee was made at the [[Starbeans Cafe]]. Olimar would call Mario "Marlio", an anagram of his name, while he would mistake Luigi for a dangerous beast and consider attacking him with his Pikmin.
 
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Pikmin were proposed to appear as cameos in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' during the game's development, but the proposal was rejected by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], who stated that there is no functional reason to include them due to their different body size when compared to ''Super Mario'' enemies.<ref>McWhertor, M. (March 12, 2012). [https://web.archive.org/web/20120314001735/http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/2012/03/12/super-mario-galaxy-2-could-have-featured-donkey-kong-and-pikmin-cameos-but-miyamoto-said-no/ Super Mario Galaxy 2 Could Have Featured Donkey Kong and Pikmin Cameos, But Miyamoto Said "No"].

However, as the difficulty increases, the Pikmin grow larger and start jumping over the player.
 
====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====
In the ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' microgame [[Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]], which exclusively appears in international releases, the player controls Captain Olimar, who is holding a Red Pikmin in his hand.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:BrawlOlimar.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork of Pikmin alongsidewith Olimar for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Pikmin serve [[Captain Olimar]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Although they are technically not playable, [[pikipedia:Olimar|Olimar]] is almost completely helpless without them, for they are featured in all of Olimar's special moves, smash attacks, aerial attacks (except for his neutral aerial), and grabs. As such, they must be [[Captain Olimar#Pikmin Pluck|plucked]] from the ground. When [[Kirby]] gains Olimar's ability, he can also use Pikmin, but after plucking them, he immediately throws them.
 
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
A group of Pikmin start to attack a [[smashwiki:R.O.B._Squad#Giant_R.O.B.|giant R.O.B.]] which simply rises its arms and spins around knocking them all off and kills most of them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his [[pikipedia:Red Pikmin|Red Pikmin]] informs him of a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car, and [[Falcon Punch]]es the robot, sending it flying away. Landing after his attack, Captain Falcon accidentally kills many of the Pikmin, but teams up with Olimar, regardless; and the pair run along some old ruins fighting the [[Subspace Army]]. They notice an [[Arwing]] attacking the ship carrying [[Donkey Kong]]: [[Falco Lombardi]] drops [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] out of his Arwing, and with his Peanut Popguns, the monkey shoots the ship holding Donkey Kong. Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.
 
In [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]], there is a cutscene where a group of Pikmin attack a [[Giant R.O.B.]], which simply rises its arms and spins around knocking them all off and kills most of them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his [[Red Pikmin]] informs him of a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car, and [[Falcon Punch]]es the robot, sending it flying away. Landing after his attack, Captain Falcon accidentally kills many of the Pikmin, but teams up with Olimar, regardless; and the pair run along some old ruins fighting the [[Subspace Army]].

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Pikmin return as Olimar's aids in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. This time, Olimar appears as "Pikmin & Olimar" on the Japanese character selection screen, unlike in Brawl, where he was listed simply as "Olimar".

Here, the player controls [[pikipedia:Empress Bulblax|Empress Bulblax]] and must roll over all of the Pikmin to squish them before the time runs out. However, as the difficulty increases, the Pikmin grow larger and start jumping over the player. The microgame reappears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.
 
In the ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' microgame [[Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]], the player controls Captain Olimar, who is holding a Red Pikmin in his hand.

|''Telling Red Pikmin apart from the other Pikmin is easy: these ones have long, pointy noises. Also, they're red.

|''This particular type of Pikmin has a pink body, blue eyes and...wings? Yep, they can fly, and in this game, they can even give Olimar a lift. The only thing is they'll get tired very easily, especially if they're carrying lots of other Pikmin at the same time. Go easy on them, OK?''
