(Added the amiibo drawings in WarioWare Gold.)
(Re-organized the page. I split things into sections I think make more sense, and I've added the games that do Pikmin-related things when you scan a Pikmin-related amiibo.)

Elements from the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] have appeared in several other [[Nintendo]] games. The [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros''. series]] in particular is well-known for having references and content of multitudes of Nintendo series and, more recently, those of other companies. Regardless, ''Pikmin'' content has made its way into other games and forms of media, be it with content directly taken from the franchise, or references.

During a transfer of DSiWare, many of the standard three Pikmin can be seen carrying [[pellet]]s over from one side of the screen to the other.
===''Nintendogs''===

===''Nintendo Badge Arcade''===
==Console software==
''Pikmin'' content appears as badges in ''[[Nintendo Badge Arcade]]''. A small variety of images exist, including [[Captain Olimar]], an [[Onion]], and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].
===AR Games===
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] built-in app ''AR Games'', a Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin appear on an AR card.
 
===System transfer===
When one transfers their downloadable content from a Nintendo DSi to a [[Nintendo 3DS]], or from a [[Wii]] to a [[Wii U]], various types of Pikmin are seen "[[carrying]]" the data over.
 
In the Wii U one, first they carry the content across the land and onto an odd ship. Sometimes, a Pikmin will not make it onto the ship, so the ship has to reopen. Then it travels from the metaphorical Wii planet to the metaphorical Wii U planet, that looks like the sun. They then continue to carry their data to the memory core of the Wii U. None of the Pikmin types are from ''Pikmin 3'', and there are no [[leader]]s to be seen.


===''Nintendogs''===
===StreetPass===
A [[Red Bulborb]] toy is found in all versions of ''{{w|Nintendogs}}'' on a shelf in the second-hand shop. It is only part of the pre-rendered background shots and can not be obtained as an actual item for the dogs to interact with.
{{main|Nintendo 3DS#StreetPass}}
In the Nintendo 3DS Mii Plaza minigame Find Mii, one of the obtainable items for the player's Mii is the Pikmin Hat. This is similar to the Pikmin Hat in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, as mentioned above.


==Wii U==
In another minigame named Puzzle Swap, there are ''Pikmin''-themed puzzles. The first one features one of each of the three original types surrounded by [[Seeding Dandelion]]s, and it is a 15-piece puzzle that does not require Streetpass exclusive-puzzle pieces. The other ones are based off of scenes from the {{psm}}.
On the [[Wii U]], it takes a long time to transfer content from the [[Wii]]. To ease this, players get to view a little short film of the Pikmin "transferring" the data. First they carry the content across the land and onto an odd ship. Sometimes, a Pikmin will not make it onto the ship, so the ship has to reopen. Then it travels from the metaphorical Wii planet to the metaphorical Wii U planet, that looks like the sun. They then continue to carry their data to the memory core of the Wii U. This, and ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', both show how the Wii U is the grand finale of [[Nintendo]]'s past. None of the Pikmin types are from ''Pikmin 3'', and there are no [[leader]]s to be seen.
