The '''Nintendo e-Reader''' is a [[Game Boy Advance]], Game Boy SP, and Nintendo DS add-on device that reads a special strip on e-Reader cards via an LED scanner. Its purpose is to unlock mini-games, items, levels or functions for games on the GBA, or as games in themselves. There are multiple available packs of ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' e-Reader cards, both released only in Japan after the release of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', which are supposed to be used for ''Pikmin 2-e''. Each card contains a number of simple ''Pikmin''-based mini-games, which can be played by connecting the e-Reader to a Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Player connected to a GameCube in which the ''Pikmin 2'' disk is placed. | The '''Nintendo e-Reader''' is a [[Game Boy Advance]], Game Boy SP, and Nintendo DS add-on device which connects to the Gamecube via Game Boy Advance to Nintendo GameCube Link Cable that reads a special strip on e-Reader cards via an LED scanner.

The cards come in packs with red, yellow, and blue themes. Each theme has four packs numbered 1-4, with the designs being [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], [[Onion]]s, [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] and [[Candypop Bud]]s in respective order. Individual cards depict [[Enemy|enemies]], Pikmin or [[leader]]s. Every pack contains 5 cards, totaling to 60 cards plus 12 promotional cards. Each card contains three levels of one of three mini-games except the promotional cards which vary from one to three bonus levels. Connecting to ''Pikmin 2'' brings up a screen showing several leaf Pikmin of the respective card color, each one representing a level. Cards can then be scanned to make some levels playable. The Pikmin grows a flower when the level is beat. The game remembers the player's progress, thus the goal is to get a flower on every level, similar to the ''Pikmin 2'' [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. | The cards come in packs with red, yellow, and blue themes.
