01Overview

Pikmin 3 is the third game in Nintendo's strategic adventure series. Players take command of three explorers and a legion of Pikmin in a fight for survival. By employing the unique abilities of these tiny Pikmin creatures, players will solve puzzles, battle dangerous predators, and recover food needed to save the explorers' depleted home planet. The three explorers land on planet PNF-404, and after a crash landing they must work with Pikmin to reunite and complete their mission. Players direct, toss and grow Pikmin with different abilities. Winged Pikmin can fly and Blue Pikmin can breathe underwater. Choosing the right Pikmin for the job and switching between the three captains, or coordinating with a second player, is the way to collect fruit and grow the squad. A day timer still limits each outing, and players return to the ship before it runs out. Mission mode sets requirements such as defeating enemies or collecting items, and scores can be compared on online leaderboards. In Bingo Battle, two players use Pikmin to retrieve the items on their bingo card before the opponent does.
