Pikmin in other media: Difference between revisions

Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in the third game of the series, and is on the starting roster (as opposed to being a secret character that needs to be unlocked). Nearly all of his moves involve the Pikmin, making him dependent on them. Even the simple "grab", in which the player holds an opponent, requires Pikmin. Up to five of these are plucked from the ground, the colour is randomly determined. These range between all of those that are found in [[Pikmin 2]] (Bulbmin are excluded). Depending on what happens to them, the Pikmin can die. Damage will not be added to Olimar when Pikmin are attacked, and each dead one allows one more to be pulled from the ground.

There is a stage based on the [[Awakening Wood]], named the ''Distant Planet''. [[Red Bulborb]]s, which can harm players, and some human-made objects are visible, such as a [[Utter Scrap|empty pop can]]. [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] are seen too, and can produce [[Pellet]]s that can be thrown into [[onion|Pikmin onions]] to produce items.
