This is the primary way of calling idle [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the secondary way being a leader bumping into them. [[Leader]]s can also be called into the group via whistling, but only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' can they be called via bumping. Whistling can also be used to instantly rescue Pikmin who are choking from a [[hazard]], such as [[fire]], call drowning Pikmin to land, and help Pikmin who are about to fall into the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]]'s pit. | ||

Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U]]'', Olimar's down special move is called '''Pikmin Order'''. When used, Olimar briefly blows his whistle around him. Any Pikmin that are stranded will quickly jump back next to Olimar, regardless of their distance to the leader. Then, all the Pikmin are grouped by type. If this move is used while they are already grouped, it'll send the next group to the back of the line. Interestingly, this move has some super armor frames, which means that, with good timing, one can use this move and suffer no knockback from powerful attacks or even Final Smashes. | ||
