Editing Frame

The ''Pikmin'' games contain complex areas and several objects, more notably, the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] themselves, with [[Pikmin limit|100]] of them being able to stay on-screen at once. In order for the console to process the world's logic and render all of its elements at a steady speed, it cannot render at a large framerate. {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p3}} run at 30 frames per second. The exception to this is the European [[region|version]] of ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', due to the need of supporting the PAL 50 Hz frequency: the former supports 60hz only in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|New Play Control version]], and playing the game at 50 Hz makes the gameplay slower by approximately 16.7% in order to run at 25 frames per second. ''Pikmin 2'' supports 60 Hz in both versions, though when set to 50 Hz, the game still runs at 25 frames per second. Gameplay is not slower during this operation in ''Pikmin 2''. Other than that, the [[main menu]]s of the first two games, and the [[options menu]], [[high scores menu]], [[bonuses menu]], and [[area selection menu]] in ''Pikmin 2'' all run at twice the framerate of the normal game.
