Talk:Hey! Pikmin

A'int what expected. Well, its Pikmin news. At least this isn't what Pikmin 4 is. Hopefully. Pikifan4 (talk) 15:35, 1 September 2016 (EDT)

It's possible it's Pikmin 4 but im not sure. TabuuandPeach 17:15, 1 September 2016 (EDT)

It can't be. This looks like a game sketched together in two months. Which is fine, but certainly not indicative of it being a Pikmin 4.. — {Espyo^T} 06:31, 2 September 2016 (EDT)

Gameplay

A jetpack can be seen on Olimar's back and on the bottom of the touch screen. Its a new thing, plus the fact that Olimar can be seen walking through a hole in the wall on a box pushed by Pikmin which is a real time strategy element. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pikifan4 • (talk) • (contribs)

Must be some way to cross big jumps or something. — {Espyo^T} 14:32, 4 September 2016 (EDT)

Yeah.... probably... However Dazz (I Mentioned his name got a problem with that) said that it could be a way to exit the level early without beating it. And he was the only Pikipedia user to have ever created a successful Youtube channel. (No I'm not saying Espyo's, Scruffy's, and others channels are not bad but......) Pikifan4 (talk) 14:42, 14 September 2016 (EDT)

The fact that he has a popular YouTube channel doesn't make his guess any more valid than anybody else's. Just like me being an admin doesn't make my guess better than anybody's. — {Espyo^T} 09:39, 15 September 2016 (EDT)

I know......... than again his guess have been somewhat accurate. Anyway..... we have to wait until we get any more Pikmin 3ds news. I would add to the existing news but really...... i can't help much. Pikifan4 (talk) 15:16, 16 September 2016 (EDT)

Amiibo use

Maybe the Amiibo is going to be used to call in more Pikmin, since enemies don't seem to drop corpses/pellet posies don't seem to be in this game and there doesn't seem to be a way for Pikmin to reproduce. Then again, we did see an Onion in the April 2017 Nintendo Direct. -Neocraftz1553 (talk) 21:19, 13 April 2017 (EDT)

1 2 and 3 in one game?

It could just be me, but I've noticed story elements in this game from the other games, Pikmin 1 related, Olimar crashes and loses fuel (similar to ship parts) Pikmin 2 related, treasure collection. Pikmin 3 related, As the story progresses, it is revealed a important ship piece has been lost (similar to the Cosmic Drive Key.) could this be trivia worthy? P.S. Just beat the final boss, it was mind blowing, if I ha to describe it in two words it'd be "ultimate beast" I wish those trying to beat it without losing Pikmin good luck. (I know I needed it to pull it off)Pikmin Theories (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

I don't think it's worth mentioning. Pikmin games just have similar plots in general. — {Espyo^T} 09:27, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

Treasure page Weirdness

Previusly, on all treasure pages, the pages said "it is actually a (real world item) and is worth (value) (Hey pikmin sparklium icon).", but now it just says "it is actually a (real world item) and is worth .". I think that needs fixing. Mama09001 (talk) 13:15, May 21, 2024 (EDT)

The "Pikmin" in the title is always spelled with all uppercase letters in official stuff

The European shop page for the game, which is the only one in this page's References section that isn't the Japan one, calls it "Hey! PIKMIN". Official trailers on YouTube also call it "Hey! PIKMIN", and I find it strange that this article doesn't do that.--Martendo (talk) 05:01, October 21, 2025 (EDT)

I kind of agree with this, because Hey! Pikmin is still called Hey! PIKMIN for some of Nintendo of America's YouTube videos. Even the amiibo box for the Pikmin amiibo refers it to Hey! PIKMIN. Play Nintendo also refers it to Hey! PIKMIN. But on the other hand, in games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I am pretty sure it calls it as normal and maybe some other sources after the game's release.

The article used to mention both capitalizations in the first sentence, but this was removed after I recommended removing it in the Discord server, as at the time I thought that the capitalized version was only used in the game's logo and wasn't aware that it was used elsewhere. I have now readded this note to the article. I'm not sure which capitalization the article's title should use though. — Soprano_(talk) 06:14, October 21, 2025 (EDT)

I do feel like using "Hey! PIKMIN" is correct here. About the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate thing, remember, that came after Hey! Pikmin and it is very likely that the developers just forgot the capitalization.--Martendo (talk) 06:46, October 21, 2025 (EDT)

While I do think that mentioning the use of Hey! PIKMIN is noteworthy due to how many official sources capitalize it like that compared to the other games, there is at least one official source I was able to find that called the game Hey! Pikmin, the game's amiibo support page. Twins1105 (talk) 19:27, October 21, 2025 (EDT)

The software name on the 3DS uses Hey! Pikmin, whereas the manual uses Hey! PIKMIN, though the link to the manual uses Hey! Pikmin. Despite the fact that the capitalised name seems more common, it should probably be kept as lowercase as that's how a majority of the internet have named it (Wikipedia, YouTube, some of Nintendo's websites). – Chazmatron, signing off!

If the 3DS menu uses the lowercase version, then that one's probably right. I agree with keeping the title lowercase then.--Martendo (talk) 04:51, October 27, 2025 (EDT)
