''Pikmin 3's ''main goal is to collect fruits. Not only does the collection of these fruits help save Koppai, but they are also juiced, which helps saves the 3 main captains as well. The more juice the player obtains, the more days they captains will be able to live in order to continue exploring and finding even better fruits. The game is said to take about 30 in-game days to complete, making it much larger of a game and longer than the previous Pikmin titles. If newcomers need more time, collecting all 66 of the game's fruit will allow for up to 100 days of gameplay, allowing plenty of time for completing the game as well as exploring the new worlds.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f63y1siGdw4</ref> If the player makes a mistake, such as running out of juice or causing a [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin Extinction]], they can go back in time and restart from any previous day, or even restart the very day and area they are currently playing on.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VURVjk65tAM</ref>

''Pikmin 3'' will give a complete overhaul to the series' battle mechanics; rather than simply throwing Pikmin at a cursor that moves along the ground, the cursor in Pikmin 3 is capable of targeting specific body parts of enemies, allowing for more strategic depth in combat.

''Pikmin 3'''s graphical design will be much more realistic thanks to the enhanced resolution and processing power of the Wii U console, and will also sport a slight exaggeration to character designs. Unlike in the past games, the Pikmin will be slightly larger and each one is capable of moving independently, making them feel like a realistic swarm rather than an organized group that marches simutaneously, as in the past 2 games.

Another feature that has been changed is the Fraction System; in ''Pikmin 3'', the fractions over an item when it's being carried (such as 3/6 for a [[Snow Bulborb]]) is now switched so that the number of Pikmin carrying an item goes on top (so it would now be 6/3).

In addition to these, several new actions can now be performed by captains, such as a move which will cause them and their pikmin swarm to quickly drop and roll side-to-side, which can be used to quickly evade danger, such as falling objects or stampeding animals.

Another new action is one that can be used with the Gamepad (referred to ingame as the [[KopPad]]); players can use the touch screen to move the camera into a bird's-eye veiw to see the game world. (to prevent cheating, only currently-explored areas are made visible). During this action, the game is automatically paused, and can then be unpaused to see the world in real time. This action allows for supervising multiple groups of pikmin preforming different tasks. Also, using this action, the player can plan routes for captains to automatically follow, where they will be able to preform tasks while another captain is manually controlled.
