There are 6 types of ''Pikmin'' e-cards, which are the original three Pikmin types and their Onions. The three color groups (Red, Yellow, and Blue) unlock puzzle games buried deep in the recesses of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', by using [[Nintendo]]'s ''Pikmin 2'' puzzle e-cards (which require the use of an e-Reader).
The three games are as follows:
* Plucking Pikmin: The player must [[pluck]] every Pikmin from the ground.
* Marching Pikmin: The player controls the Pikmin by moving them in the same direction, and must try to get them into the goal.
* Connecting Pikmin: The player moves panels around to create a path for the Pikmin so that they can reach a goal.

==Sanei Pikmin Merchandise==
In 2001, nine Pikmin plushes were released by the Japanese Company Sanei. The plushes consisted of the first three Pikmin plushes each with either a leaf, bud, or flower. In 2004 they re-released and re-tagged these plushes to focus on Pikmin 2, as well as releasing 9 more plushes. These new plushes consisted of purple and white pikmin, each with either a leaf, bud, or flower variant, as well as a plush for Captain Olimar, Louie, and a red Bulborb. The Red Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Olimar, and Louie plushes are all approximately 7 inches, while the Purple is approximately 9 inches, the White is approximately 6 inches, and Bulborb is approximately 10 inches.

In 2013, they released a similar lineup of smaller 5 inch figures that also included a keying. The set contained a Red leaf Pikmin, a budded Yellow Pikmin, a flowered Blue Pikmin, a budded Purple Pikmin, and a flowered White Pikmin. They also released three Pikmin plushes which acted as containers.  These included a Red Pikmin with a box, a Blue Pikmin with a mug, and a Yellow Pikmin with a cup.

==Agatsuma Pikmin figurines==
{{clean|This is confusing to read.}}
[http://agatsuma-games.jp/english/ Agatsuma] has released three volumes of ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' toys to promote ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They were only released in Japan, and were produced in randomly arranged sets.
===Volume one===
The first of the three volumes. These contain three sets of three Pikmin ([[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], or [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]]) with [[Olimar]], [[Louie]], or [[the President]] included. There are three sets with Red, [[White Pikmin|White]], and [[Purple Pikmin]] in different stages. These include a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s in each set. There are also three sets with five Pikmin each, in different stages. Oddly, there are nine red Pikmin, and six of every other type. The Hocotatians used in this volume are also used in volume three. The rare special figurine for this one is a [[Red Bulborb]]. The Pikmin in this volume are the same as the ones used in volume two. The figures are not made of the same material that is used in series 3.
===Volume two===
Volume two has six of each Pikmin (two leaf, two bud, two flower), a [[Wogpole]], and a [[Yellow Wollywog]]. Another set has the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]], [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], and [[Snow Bulborb]]. The set of three Purples comes with a [[Bulborb Larva]]. The set of three Whites comes with a [[Breadbug]]. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin sets come with three different stages of [[Bulbmin]]. Two secret figures are the regular [[Hocotate ship|ship]] and its golden variant. The figurines are the same as in volume one, except instead of three Dwarf Red Bulborbs, there are many different creatures. These figurines are of the same material as series 1.
===Volume three===
The three sets that contain three red, blue, or yellow Pikmin come with a [[Pellet Posy]] of the same color, instead of a Bulbmin as in volume two, or a Dwarf Red Bulborb as in volume one. As always, the set of five flower, bud, or leaf Pikmin doesn't come with anything. Purples and Whites come with a [[Fiery Blowhog]] or a [[Watery Blowhog]]. A set of Olimar, Louie, and President is also available; they are the same as the set from volume one and two. The three secret items are the [[Onion]]s. This volume looks much more organic than volumes 1 or 2.
