''Pikmin'' is a three-dimensional strategy-based game, in which the player is given control of Olimar, who in turn has control over the Pikmin that follow him. The whole point of the game is to find and collect as many of his lost ship parts as possible, up to the maximum of 30, in fewer than the 30 days Olimar has to live, so that he can escape the grasp of the planet before his life-support system fails. This is achieved by directing Pikmin to carry the parts to Olimar's ship. Approximately 15 minutes are spent on its surface each [[day]]; as nightfall approaches, he must gather stray and toiling Pikmin so that they don't fall victim to the voracious nocturnal predators, such as the [[Red Bulborb]]. | ''Pikmin'' is a three-dimensional strategy-based game, in which the player is given control of Olimar, who in turn has control over the Pikmin that follow him.

In ''Pikmin'', players will face many obstacles in order to secure the parts required to rebuild the ship. This must be done with care, as many obstacles are [[hazards|hazardous]] to the Pikmin, such as water, fire and explosions. There are also other things that block the way, such as walls, bridges and gaps. Many different animal species on the planet hinder the progress of working Pikmin.

However, the forces are limited; Olimar can only have up to [[Pikmin limit|100 Pikmin out in the field]] and no more under any circumstances. The rest are stored in the [[Onion]]s, considered by Olimar to be some sort of motherships for the species. | ||
The primary way to control Pikmin is to [[throw]] them at targets, although they can also be [[swarm|issued]] to them. By gathering resources back into the Onions, new seeds will pop out, which increase the supply of Pikmin. The creatures can also [[maturity|mature]] with the likes of [[nectar]]. | The primary way to control Pikmin is to [[throw]] them at targets, although they can also be [[swarm|issued]] to them.
