Gameplay[edit<\/a>]<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The series’ gameplay combines elements of\u00a0action platformer<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0puzzle<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0strategy<\/a>\u00a0gameplay. The\u00a0Pikmin<\/em>\u00a0games focus on exploring an\u00a0Earth<\/a>-like planet named PNF-404,[5]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0and controlling a crowd of the titular Pikmin. Pikmin are intelligent, multicolored, plant-animal\u00a0hybrids<\/a>\u00a0that follow the orders of their leader. There have been multiple leaders over the course of the series, with the first and most notable being\u00a0Captain Olimar<\/a>, a tiny\u00a0alien<\/a>\u00a0from the planet Hocotate introduced in the original\u00a0Pikmin<\/em>.\u00a0Pikmin 2<\/em>\u00a0features Louie and The President, Olimar’s co-worker and boss, respectively, who are also playable leaders.\u00a0Pikmin 3<\/em>\u00a0features leaders from a new alien species. The leaders are Alph, Brittany, and Charlie, who come from the planet Koppai and are similar to the Hocotatians.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pikmin are directed to perform a number of tasks, with the primary one being the retrieval of items integral to the mission of each game.[7]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The player must direct the Pikmin to overcome obstacles and PNF-404’s fauna.[2]<\/a><\/sup>[7]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Because individual Pikmin are small and weak against most\u00a0predators<\/a>, and some are best suited for certain tasks, it is the responsibility of the player to direct the Pikmin appropriately in order to ensure successful retrievals of any items, avoid any hazards, and quickly tend to any obstacles and predators. Game time is divided into individual days, each of which consist of approximately 13 minutes, in which the player is encouraged to accomplish as much as possible before sunset.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n
