'''Pikmin 2''' is the second game in the [[Pikmin series]], being realeased in 2004 for the Nintendo GameCube. It takes place directly after the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], in whose ending [[Captain Olimar]] successfully escapes the [[planet of the Pikmin]]. Unlike the first, this game includes a [[2-player mode]], and it features three new types of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

The [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] from the first game haven't changed, except for the Yellow Pikmin, who are no longer able to handle [[bomb-rock]]s (which are all larger in this game), but are instead immune to the electrical hazards in the game. [[Mushroom Pikmin]] are not seen in Pikmin 2 and there are three new kinds of Pikmin that can be discovered in underground areas, which are:

[[White Pikmin]] are the second underground Pikmin and third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2. To find the game's first White Pikmin, the player must visit the [[White Flower Garden]] and progress to [[sublevel]] three, where the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s are. They are smaller than other Pikmin and have red eyes. The poison clouds produced by poison pipes and [[Doodlebug]]s will cause Pikmin to choke, but White Pikmin are immune. These Pikmin can locate buried items on their own, making them essential for unearthing buried treasure. They are also the fastest of the Pikmin, both in carrying items and keeping up with the player. When eaten by an enemy, they poison the enemy and cause it to lose some health; smaller Bulborbs are killed instantly. These Pikmin are also the weakest in terms of attack power, being outclassed by every other Pikmin type.

 

Pikmin 2 has been re-released as part of the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' series of games for the [[Nintendo Wii]] in Japan, Europe and Australia. The game incorporates the Wii's controller's capabilities to allow aiming the cursor by pointing, as well as graphical enhancements and an updated save system.
