Pikmin Garden
Pikmin Garden (ピクミンガーデン ～ピクミンのいる庭～?, lit.: "Pikmin Garden: A Garden with Pikmin") is the official Pikmin section of Nintendo’s Japanese website. It contains various articles with information on the Pikmin series. The website is divided into five main subpages: PIKMIN 4コマ (PIKMIN 4koma), 乗組員名簿 (Crew List), 原生生物図鑑 (Piklopedia), 調査レポート (Survey Report), and やってみよう (Let's Try It). Recent news on the series is displayed at the bottom of the page, alongside various links to games, movies, merchandise and other information on the Pikmin series.
A Korean and Chinese version (for both Hong Kong and Taiwan) of the Pikmin Garden site has also been released, looking identical to the original Japanese version. However, these variants are outdated and lack some updates post the release of the website. Smaller versions of Pikmin Garden were also released on various other Nintendo websites. These only feature the Piklopedia and the Daily Comic sections of the website, as well as an exclusive page explaining what Pikmin are.

The game has only one input: a button on-screen with a whistle icon. Every time the button is tapped, a Pikmin appears on-screen, the number at the top of the screen increments by 1, and a group of children call out that number. The ultimate goal of the game, as its title suggests, is to summon a total of 100 Pikmin so they can all carry a Crimson Banquet.
