In this game, the player controls Olimar in his efforts to explore the planet with the tiny yet resourceful creatures known as Pikmin. Once Olimar finds Pikmin, he can command them to undertake different tasks to help him. The Pikmin can be used to battle enemies, destroy obstacles and retrieve treasure. There are three different types of Pikmin appearing in the game with unique attributes: Red (stronger and fire resistant), Blue (able to survive in water) and Yellow (can be thrown higher and carry bomb rocks). The game is follows a day system. By the end of each day, all of the Pikmin have to be rounded up and returned to the ship in order to protect them from the planet's nocturnal predators. Any Pikmin that aren't in the ship's area or following Olimar at the time of sundown will be left behind and eaten overnight. The player must utlize the different Pikmin strategically in order to achieve the best results that they can on each day.

Pikmin uses a gameplay idea that was experimented with in Mario 128. The player is able to select as many or as few Pikmin as they want and specify what task they are supposed to do. There are three different types of Pikmin, each with special abilities.

The ultimate goal of the game is to discover at least twenty-five out of thirty different ship parts scattered throughout the planet before the thirty day period ends. As the player progresses, more areas of the planet will be unlocked to explore. The game also has an unlockable Challenge Mode in which the player's goal is to collect as many Pikmin as possible throughout a day.

This game went on to spawn a new Nintendo series and would later be represented in the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. After the series was represented through a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Olimar would become a playable character starting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', armed with his Pikmin. This also came with a stage, music and other references to the ''Pikmin'' games.
