==Plot==
Little is known about the plot of the game. The first footage of the game reveals Olimar exploring a Pikmin-populated world with a blue ship pod that resembles the [[Hocotate ship#Research Pod|Research Pod]]. The newest footage reveals Olimar piloting a new ship called the "S.S. Dolphin 2" through a field of asteroids. Olimar "loses control" of the ship and crash-lands on a "new planet" inhabited by Pikmin. The goal of the game as explained by the trailer is to refuel the ship by collecting treasures and "sparklium seeds," presumably the golden seeds. It is not known whether or not this game is [[canon]].

[[File:UE Bird.png|thumb|right|An unknown yellow bird-like [[enemy]].]]
An unknown yellow bird-like creature can be seen advancing towards Olimar during the Nintendo Direct footage. The creature exhibits the general body shape of a grub dog, with a large pink finch-like beak and big eyes on the side of its head. Similar to the kiwi bird, this creature has no visible wings and seems to be exclusively terrestrial. After being thrown at with [[Red Pikmin]], the creature flinches while its walking speed slows down until it finally dies. Upon death, 2 Sparklium seeds are released. It can sometimes come out of burrows inside a wall, and clucks when turning around.

An enemy that looks like a firefly, with a blue body, yellow head, beady red eyes, translucent wings, and a large ball of light, or perhaps fuzz, on its bottom. From the bottom come purple bubbles at a steady interval, that kill Pikmin on contact.

====White Spectralid====
[[File:Hey! Pikmin White Spectralid trailer.jpg|thumb|right|A White Spectralid.]]
An enemy very similar to a White Spectralid can be seen on the Japanese trailer. It is idling on a rock, until two Red Pikmin try to pounce on it and fail, resulting in the creature flying away.

====Dung beetle-like enemy====
[[File:Hey! Pikmin dung beetle.jpg|thumb|left|An enemy resembling a dung beetle.]]
An enemy can be seen in the Japanese trailer pushing a [[crystal]] block against Olimar and his leaders. It looks like a beetle, but the way it pushes the block, with its hind legs, is very reminiscent of the real world {{w|dung beetle}}. If Olimar and the Pikmin push back, they are able to drag the obstacle in the opposite direction.

====Yellow Wollywog====
[[File:Hey! Pikmin Yellow Wollywog.jpg|thumb|right|A Yellow Wollywog and a youngling.]]
The Japanese trailer briefly shows a [[Yellow Wollyowg]], a bit larger than usual, next to what can only be its young. It still has some characteristics of a [[Wogpole]], like its short body, and a bit of a tail.

====Fiery Bulblax====
[[File:Hey! Pikmin Fiery Bulblax.jpg|thumb|left|A Fiery Bulblax.]]
In the Japanese trailer, a [[Fiery Bulblax]] briefly appears, eating Pikmin. It is considerably shorter, and the only part of its body that looks like it's melting is the upper lips.

====Emperor Bulblax====
[[File:Emperor Bulblax.jpg|thumb|right|An Emperor Bulblax.]]
In the Japanese trailer, an [[Emperor Bulblax]] can be seen, with a design similar to ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''. It appears from behind some grass and growls. Nothing else is known about it.

* Trowel: a gardening trowel with its blade buried in the ground. Throwing several Pikmin at it will make it topple forward, creating a path. A yellow progress bar similar to an enemy's health appears on top of it to indicate topple progress.

* Elevator platforms: [[elevator platforms]] return in this game, looking similar to how they do in ''Pikmin 3''.
* Vine rock: a large stone with vines entwined around it. Winged Pikmin can grab onto the top of the object and lift it to clear the way.
* Crystal: [[crystal]]s return, and serve to block the way forward. Like in ''Pikmin 3'', they can be broken by tossed Rock Pikmin.
* Electric gate: [[electric gates]] return, and keep their ''Pikmin 3'' appearance, except they are much larger than in ''Pikmin 3''.
* Sea urchin: a sea urchin-like object appears in one underwater scene. It is not clear if this is an enemy or not, but its simplicity indicates that it's simply an obstacle. It moves right at a steady pace.
* Bouncy Mushroom: [[Bouncy Mushrooms]] return, but are much smaller.

{{main|amiibo}}
The Pikmin amiibo, that launches with the game, will be compatible with ''Hey! Pikmin''. Scanning it will give the player more Pikmin, but the details for this mechanic are not known.
amiibo will be compatible with ''Hey! Pikmin''. Scanning an amiibo while on the map selection screen will make it appear on one of the world map's spots. That spot can then be entered, and somewhere in that level, the amiibo can be recovered and collected, like a treasure. Several amiibo work for this, including the ones from the ''Mario'' series, ''Animal Crossing'' series, ''Splatoon'' series, and the Pikmin amiibo that launches with the game.
 
In-game, if the player pauses and uses the amiibo option, they can scan the Pikmin amiibo to summon a number of Pikmin directly to Olimar's side.
 
==Other content==
Modes where it's possible to see collected treasures and encountered enemies, similar to the [[Treasure Hoard]] and [[Piklopedia]], return. The bottom screen shows the model of the object in question, which can be rotated by the player, and the top screen shows a description of the item. The bottom screen also has a silhouette of a Pikmin, used to compare the treasure's size to a standard Pikmin.
 
In the Japanese trailer, some cutscenes of sorts play, showing Pikmin roaming around a garden-like area, where the S.S. Dolphin 2 and the master Onion are. During these scenes, the trailer has a note on the corner saying {{j|ひろば|hiroba|open space|f=tp}}. In one of the scenes, Pikmin can be seen plucking blades of grass from a patch and carrying it somewhere off-screen. The next scene shows Pikmin gathered around Sparklium seeds, some blades of grass, and unknown red objects. In another scene, several Pikmin of different types are carrying and moving in well-defined lines, much like marching ants, and are interacting with some obstacles. Yet another scene shows Pikmin gathering around a green, plastic clothespin on the floor.
 
One scene in the trailer shows several Sparklium seeds and large ruby-like objects falling from the sky, where Olimar and the Pikmin grab them. Another scene shows Olimar and Pikmin falling down a shaft, and sliding off of crystals pointing downwards diagonally stuck in the walls.
