===Super Smash Bros.===
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, there have been several references to the ''Pikmin'' series.
 
*If you have a saved game of ''Pikmin'' on the same memory card as one of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', you are given the Captain Olimar trophy in ''Melee''. That game also features a trophy of the Pikmin.
*'Olimar & Pikmin' is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there is a Pikmin-related stage called "Distant Planet". It features Bulborbs and other threats like rain. If a [[Pellet]] or certain items are thrown into one of the [[Onion]]s, items will pop out.
*There is a remix of the Pikmin World map music in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''; this consists of both tracks of the ''Pikmin'' map screen and the ''Pikmin 2'' map screen. Hajime Wakai, a musician of Pikmin, is one of the musicians for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has a [[Bulborb]] trophy, a [[Burrowing Snagret]] trophy, a [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]] trophy, a [[Wollywog]] trophy, a [[Red Pikmin]] trophy, a [[Yellow Pikmin]] trophy, and a [[Fiery Blowhog]] trophy, along with a [[Purple Pikmin]] sticker and a [[Louie]] sticker, among others.
*As well as the music mentioned above, there is also [[The Forest of Hope]], which is unchanged from the Pikmin game.
 
===Animal Crossing: City Folk===
In ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'' (known as ''Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City'' in Europe), Pikmin-themed items were released as downloadable items. Every such item is available only for one or two weeks, then it is gone; the only way to obtain one later by trading with other players.
 
*Pikmin Hat was released in winter 2009, when ''New Play Control: Pikmin'' was released for [[Wii]] (different dates for different regions).
*''[[S.S. Dolphin]]'' model was available from July 20th to August 3rd 2009, this way celebrating 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the Moon.
 
===Super Mario Galaxy===
In ''[[mario:Super Mario Galaxy|Super Mario Galaxy]]'', a galaxy called the Space Junk Galaxy has a spaceship in it that looks very similar to [[The Ship]].
