===Olimar-exclusive compatibility===
;Lists by type:
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U]]'', the Olimar amiibo acts as a Figure Player, just as all the other ''Super Smash Bros.'' series amiibo, and will save data to the amiibo's chip.
* List of [[Merchandise/Club Nintendo|Club Nintendo]] merchandise
*In ''[[mario:Mario Kart 8|Mario Kart 8]]'', the amiibo will unlock an Olimar-styled suit for the Mii character, with the body of the costume resembling Olimar's [[spacesuit]], and the helmet being designed to look like a space helmet. On the back of the helmet is a [[Red Pikmin]] hanging on. ''Mario Kart 8'' does not save data to the amiibo.
* List of [[My Nintendo]] merchandise
*In ''[[mario:Yoshi's Woolly World|Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the amiibo unlocks an Olimar-styled Yoshi. The Yoshi is stylized to look like Olimar, and the spikes on the back of its head have the same color as the first three [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' does not save data to the amiibo.
* List of [[Merchandise/Event-exclusive|event-exclusive]] merchandise
*In ''[[wikipedia:Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy|Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy +]]'', it is unconfirmed what the amiibo's use will be, but Olimar is listed as compatible on Nintendo's [http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/compatibility amiibo compatibility chart]. Most likely, it will act like the other amiibo, giving players a Pikmin-themed jet plane, and will not save data to the amiibo.

==e-cards==
[[File:Pikmin2E-reader01sm.jpg|thumb|Pikmin e-reader series 1.]]
{{main|e-Reader}}
There are 6 types of ''Pikmin'' e-cards, which are the original three Pikmin types and their Onions. The three color groups (Red, Yellow, and Blue) unlock puzzle games buried deep in the recesses of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', by using [[Nintendo]]'s ''Pikmin 2'' puzzle e-cards (which require the use of an e-Reader).
 
The three games are as follows:
* Plucking Pikmin: The player must [[pluck]] every Pikmin from the ground.
* Marching Pikmin: The player controls the Pikmin by moving them in the same direction, and must try to get them into the goal.
* Connecting Pikmin: The player moves panels around to create a path for the Pikmin so that they can reach a goal.
 
==Jakk's Pacific Pikmin figurines==
[http://www.jakks.com/ Jakk's Pacific] has a collection of Pikmin-themed figures in the works, some of which are already released. They are being released in sets of series, along with other Nintendo characters. The first wave of Pikmin figures consist of Olimar and a Red Pikmin, with more waves set to release periodically over the calendar year. All of the figures are approximately {{tt|2.5 inches|6.35 cm}} tall. Text is written on the back of each box describing each character respectively. These figures are not based off of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' exclusively &ndash; the image on the back of the Red Pikmin box shows a Red Pikmin with a bud as it appears in ''Pikmin 3'', however the image of Olimar shows him as he would look in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. This is odd, because the figure itself has Olimar's visible [[whistle]] and the extra suit buttons, which he did not obtain until the third game.

==Agatsuma Pikmin figurines==
{{clean|This is confusing to read.}}
[http://agatsuma-games.jp/english/ Agatsuma] has released three volumes of ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' toys to promote ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They were only released in Japan, and were produced in randomly arranged sets.
 
===Volume one===
The first of the three volumes. These contain three sets of three Pikmin ([[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], or [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]]) with [[Olimar]], [[Louie]], or [[the President]] included. There are three sets with Red, [[White Pikmin|White]], and [[Purple Pikmin]] in different stages. These include a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s in each set. There are also three sets with five Pikmin each, in different stages. Oddly, there are nine red Pikmin, and six of every other type. The Hocotatians used in this volume are also used in volume three. The rare special figurine for this one is a [[Red Bulborb]]. The Pikmin in this volume are the same as the ones used in volume two. The figures are not made of the same material that is used in series 3.
 
===Volume two===
Volume two has six of each Pikmin (two leaf, two bud, two flower), a [[Wogpole]], and a [[Yellow Wollywog]]. Another set has the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]], [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], and [[Snow Bulborb]]. The set of three Purples comes with a [[Bulborb Larva]]. The set of three Whites comes with a [[Breadbug]]. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin sets come with three different stages of [[Bulbmin]]. Two secret figures are the regular [[Hocotate ship|ship]] and its golden variant. The figurines are the same as in volume one, except instead of three Dwarf Red Bulborbs, there are many different creatures. These figurines are of the same material as series 1.
 
===Volume three===
The three sets that contain three red, blue, or yellow Pikmin come with a [[Pellet Posy]] of the same color, instead of a Bulbmin as in volume two, or a Dwarf Red Bulborb as in volume one. As always, the set of five flower, bud, or leaf Pikmin doesn't come with anything. Purples and Whites come with a [[Fiery Blowhog]] or a [[Watery Blowhog]]. A set of Olimar, Louie, and President is also available; they are the same as the set from volume one and two. The three secret items are the [[Onion]]s. This volume looks much more organic than volumes 1 or 2.
