In the second trailer, the new leader was shown in greater depth, and Ice Pikmin were introduced. These Pikmin are be able to freeze water as well as enemies. It also revealed a new dog-like character named Oatchi, more new leaders, and several new and returning enemies. New enemies showcased included juvenile Burrowing Snagrets, a Blowhog-like creature, and something likely in the Arachnorb family. Although only [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], and the new Ice Pikmin were shown in the trailer itself, the trailer's thumbnail artwork includes all species of Pikmin except Bulbmin. | In the second trailer, the new leader was shown in greater depth, and Ice Pikmin were introduced.

== Gameplay == | |||
So far, the gameplay seems to be the same as in the previous main titles of the franchise, though with some subtle changes. The [[cursor]] looks less like something to point towards an exact spot with, and more like a simple indicator of the general direction the aim is. This can be in part due to the lower [[camera]] angle. On top of standard Pikmin management and ordering, the player also has [[#Oatchi|Oatchi]] with them, which they can command in different ways than the Pikmin. | |||
