Changes[edit]
On top of the changes common to both this game and Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch), which are listed here, the following additional changes exist.
Gameplay[edit]
- The infamous crushing glitch is now less common.
- The Secret Safe now requires 40 Pikmin to lift in all versions, not just in international regions.
Graphics[edit]
- The majority of the UI elements and a few environmental textures have been upscaled, using a combination of reused original high quality artwork, creating new high quality art, and upscales of the original textures.
- The Emperor Bulblax now displays a shadow in all regions (beginning with version 1.1.0).
Text[edit]
- The copyright on the title screen has been changed to "© Nintendo".
Audio[edit]
- A few sounds play differently, such as the Onion ejecting seeds.
- Some music instruments are slightly out of tune.
- Since the attract mode cutscenes have been removed, Japanese players can also no longer hear Ai no Uta.
Other[edit]
- The logo on the game's box art has been updated to resemble the modern Pikmin series logo, along with it now being known as Pikmin 1.
- The enemy reel has received several changes:
- All of the gameplay has been re-recorded, now being more accurate to the game's actual gameplay.
- A different font is used, and all of the text is center-aligned.
- The text fades in, rather than getting "written" in like the original.
- The Swooping Snitchbug is placed correctly in the reel's alphabetical order.
- In the US version, the Wogpole, Wollywog, and Yellow Wollywog are renamed to Wolpole, Wollyhop, and Yellow Wollyhop respectively.
- Instead of a dark filter closing in around a creature to highlight it, a smear effect is instantly placed.
- "THE END" screen at the end of the credits uses different renders of Captain Olimar and the Pikmin.
- Despite the game being based off of the New Play Control! version, the GameCube cursor is used.
- When Olimar takes damage, the screen shakes and turns red briefly.
