| ==Changes==
| | *[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]] |
| Changes that have been made to Pikmin 1. Some of these will presumably be carried over to its sequel.
| |
| | |
| *The game now has widescreen support.
| |
| *A new control scheme allows control of the cursor by pointing at the screen with the Wii controller. Because of that, the player can now call the Pikmin at a greater distance.
| |
| *An updated save system allows the player to restart play from any previous day.
| |
| *Some sound effects are played by the Wii remote speaker.
| |
| *Enemy sound effects, 'voices' in particular, are different, notably more 'squeaky'.
| |
| *Only the "tails" of Pikmin [[spirit]]s are blue, rather than being completely blue as they are in the GameCube version.
| |
| *Yellow Pikmin holding bomb-rocks no longer drop them when whistled to. In addition, they will automatically try to run out of range of a planted bomb-rock's explosion.
| |
| *There is a new [[Enemy Reel]] style.
| |
| *[[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] can now last longer when on fire or drowning.
