Hey! Pikmin is a puzzle-platforming game that was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2017. It is the first spin-off of the Pikmin series and features Olimar.
Story
Olimar's ship was damaged by asteroids and ended up crash landing on a planet inhabited by Pikmin. He finds that he needs more sparklium to fuel his ship and escape, and he works with the local Pikmin to obtain it. It turns out that he needs 30 thousand Sparklium in order to properly fuel the ship.
Gameplay
This game features a gameplay shift from the normal Pikmin games, as it employs a 2-D sidescrolling style rather than a free-range 3-D environment and acts as a platformer. In this game, the player controls Olimar going through different levels in search of items containing sparklium. Instead of having a steady roster of Pikmin, Olimar starts each level alone and must find Pikmin within the levels themselves. All recruited Pikmin end up in the Pikmin Park, where they can find more sparklium and unlock other areas of the park.
Olimar is able to use his jetpack and swim, and otherwise he must rely on the Pikmin to act for him. Red, Yellow and Purple Pikmin appear, as well as the Rock and Winged variants from Pikmin 3.
Legacy
Sequels
It has been indicated that a new Pikmin game is in development, but it is believed to be one of the main Pikmin games rather than a follow-up to this spin-off.
Trivia
- Its Japanese release date was exactly four years after the release of Pikmin 3, and its European/Australian releases were only a day off from being exactly four years.
