In Japan, three Pikmin-themed AR cards came bundled with eShop cards.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huPeeNe7HOA Animal Crossing and Pikmin AR Cards revealed for Japan]</ref> The [[Yellow Pikmin]] card comes bundled with a 1000 Yen card, the [[Red Pikmin]] card comes with a 2000 Yen card, and the [[Blue Pikmin]] comes with a 3000 Yen card. Each card shows a Pikmin of the same color on it. With them, pictures can be taken. Unlike the bundled AR Cards, these can be freely moved around, and the Pikmin will interact with them accordingly. For example, if the card is held upside down, the Pikmin will hang onto the card before falling down. By tapping the cards, more Pikmin can be spawned. Tapping with the maximum amount of Pikmin on the card will turn it into a different whistle. This whistle will organize the Pikmin into lines. The ? card bundled with the 3DS will show a [[Red Bulborb]] when used with this card set. The Bulborb will chase after the Pikmin if they are close enough. These cards have not been released outside of Japan.

''Collectible Badge Center'' is an app for the 3DS. It is a crane game in which players must use the crane to grab or knock the items into a hole. The items are badges, and once they fall in the hole, they are awarded to the player. The player has a limited number of times they can use the claw, and they can either wait one day to get three more tries, or pay 90 yen to be given five tries.
