The goal is to complete each level, by crossing the finish line. ''Pikmin Adventure'' also includes a multiplayer co-op and a multiplayer versus mode. | ||

One player controls their Mii dressed in [[Olimar]]'s [[spacesuit]], and uses the Wii U GamePad, while up to four others use the Wii Remote to play as Miis dressed as assorted, larger [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. There will always be one Olimar player and one Pikmin player, even if an AI player has to take the place of a human one. | ||

Although they have different colors, these do not make a difference, with the exception of Blue Pikmin, that do not flail when underwater. In addition, the player controlling Olimar has the option of using their [[whistle]] to call every Pikmin to their side (including those controlled by other players) by using the icon on the lower left of the touch screen or by pressing {{button|wiiu|zl|wiiu|zr}}. The captain player can throw Pikmin by tapping at a spot on the GamePad, while the Pikmin players move around and attack freely. All human-controlled characters have a shared [[health]] meter, represented by hearts on the [[HUD]]. | ||
As they make their way through the area, players will encounter enemies. Most of the time, all enemies in a section must be defeated before the next one is unlocked. Other times, players must destroy a specific block or perform some other task before the path is cleared. Most levels have large enemies – bosses – near the end. These must be defeated before the level can be completed. | As they make their way through the area, players will encounter enemies.

Walls block the players' path sometimes, but these can be broken down. Some of these blocks are replaced with [[mario:Question Block|Question Blocks]], which give out a bit of [[nectar]] or a heart when broken. In addition, larger variants of these blocks are on the ground in certain spots, and trigger certain events to happen when broken, such as spawning a bridge. Some Question Blocks appear spontaneously from certain spots on the ground, and when broken, reveal several pools of nectar and sometimes hearts. | Walls block the players' path sometimes, but these can be broken down.

There are three powerups that captains and Pikmin can obtain. These change the way Pikmin are thrown and damage enemies with. If hurt, the captain or Pikmin player will lose their powerup instead of being knocked out. Certain levels also play out similar to ''[[mario:Super Mario 3D Land|Super Mario 3D Land]]'', in which there is a time limit, and players must continuously kill enemies and overcome obstacles to gain more time, to keep the timer from reaching 0.

Breaking this releases a giant blob of nectar that instantly levels up all players to level 50, or adds a minute to the clock in timed runs. | ||
After completing the normal expeditions, advanced missions are unlocked, with an increased difficulty level. These missions also give the Olimar player a new gameplay mechanic: by pressing {{button|wiiu|l|wiiu|r}} or a button on the GamePad's screen, all Pikmin in the captain's party are changed to [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], or the usual mixed group.

These colors now make a difference due to the fact that enemy weak points in these missions are color-coded, and only Pikmin of the same color can harm them. In addition, Blue Pikmin are still immune to navigating through water. Mastery rankings also exist for all levels in the attraction; to obtain them, players must complete the stage within a certain time limit, and not take any damage. | ||

The most common is a race of spherical insects, called "Beebs". Cannon-like enemies called [[Telescoping Pumphog]]s are also featured; they either fire bombs or spiked balls. [[Blowhog]]s appear, but blow out air and charge. | ||
In order to attack an enemy, players must aim at their purple, spherical weak points. There is a robotic UFO piloted by the villainous Dark Monita that appears in some rooms, and drops enemies inside {{w|gashapon}} capsules. The most common enemies chomp Pikmin or the captain, although there is a variety that can grab their prey, throw them up in the air, swallow them, and encapsulate them inside blocks shaped like feces. Players who are trapped will constantly shout "Help!" via a speech bubble near them, and they can be freed from these prisons if other characters or Pikmin attack them, at which point they'll say "Thank you!" via another speech bubble. The same happens if a player is trapped inside a bubble that had been shot at them. | In order to attack an enemy, players must aim at their purple, spherical weak points.

*'''Bulborb''': comes in three colors: red, yellow, and green. Red Bulborbs charge after players in a straight line, while Yellow Bulborbs hop back and forth to dodge attacks and can also spit projectiles like water or spiked balls. Green Bulborbs attack like the Red Bulborbs, but have the added ability of following the player while charging. All of these Bulborbs can eat players and trap them inside of a Bulborb dropping. If the GamePad player is stuck in one of these, any Pikmin in their group will automatically latch on and attack it. | *'''Bulborb''': comes in three colors: red, yellow, and green.

'''Whip Seeds''' are the second power-up found in the attraction. Whip seeds will grow springs on the Pikmin's stems, which can be extended to attack in a longer range and do more damage.
