Decor Pikmin/Animations

This page contains many images, and probably won't load quickly on older devices or slow internet connections.

When plucking a Seedling or when a Pikmin receives its Decor, a short discovery animation will play, based on the Pikmin's type and the decor it's wearing. You can replay the animation by going into the Pikmin viewer menu, selecting a Pikmin to see its information, and tapping on the Pikmin.
