An unbe-leaf-able mission awaits in Pikmin 4, available now!
Members of the Rescue Corps have landed themselves in one dill of a pickle! Now, it’s up to you to find the Rescue Corps crew and fix their ship in the Pikmin™ 4 game. Create your own explorer and navigate a larger-than-life world from a pint-sized perspective. Luckily, you won’t have to take on this mission alone.
Your loyal and curious squad
Grow, pluck, and guide small, plant-like creatures known as Pikmin. These fearless florets will accompany you on your expedition, helping you gather resources and going into battle with enemies much, much larger than them. Use your Pikmin’s miniature might (and a bit of strategy) to explore the mysterious planet in search of your crew. Find a path forward using their different abilities, like Red Pikmin’s fire resistance and Ice Pikmin’s freezing effects. You can even venture out at night with a little help from Glow Pikmin!
Who’s a good Oatchi?! Wait … what’s an Oatchi?
Oatchi, resident good boy and dependable partner, can help with things like smashing obstacles and carrying you and your Pikmin throughout your adventure.
Now, you may be thinking, “Wait, are you saying there’s a space dog in this game?” Yes. Yes, we are. You can even train this Rescue Pup to become more helpful!
With your plucky Pikmin and capable canine, no challenge is too big!
Dandori Challenges
“Dandori” is a practice centered around planning things out in advance and working efficiently. (You can even put good Dandori to work for you in your daily life!)
In your expedition, you’ll come across Dandori Battles and Challenges. Use your time wisely and efficiently to collect the most items before time runs out!
Bring a friend!
If you’re looking to share the adventure with someone, two players can work together or battle it out on the same system!
Dandori Battle: Team up or battle it out with a second player in Dandori Battle! See you can collect the most items before time runs out.
Co-Op Mode: Get help from a second player in Story mode! Using an on-screen pointer, your co-op buddy can throw pebbles at enemies to stun them and unleash helpful items in your inventory.
So, what do you say, explorer? Are you ready to take on this mission? Oh, wait! Before you answer, we have just one more thing.
