All players can move around freely, attack and pick up rocks and bombs. The Captain player can issue small Pikmin to attack blocks or enemies, while the Pikmin players can strike with their heads. The main premise of the game is that the Pikmin players must collect blobs of [[nectar]] in order to increase their levels, which gives them a longer lifespan (damage reduces levels) and upgrades the top of their heads, from leaves, to buds, to flowers. | All players can move around freely, attack and pick up rocks and bombs.
