In ''Pikmin'', the shadows under [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[Olimar]] point to different directions as the day goes by. At the start of the day, they point to the southwest, at midday, to the south, and near the end, to the southeast. This is similar to sun-cast shadows on planet Earth, given that the sun rises on the east (and hence, the shadows are cast to the west), and sets on the west. | In ''Pikmin'', the shadows under [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[Olimar]] point to different directions as the day goes by.

In the first game, in order to avoid rendering too many shadows at once and slowing the game down, Pikmin shadows are completely omitted if there are 51 or more Pikmin on the field. In ''Pikmin 2 | In the first game, in order to avoid rendering too many shadows at once and slowing the game down, Pikmin shadows are completely omitted if there are 51 or more Pikmin on the field. In ''Pikmin 2'', this limit does not exist, but shadows do not change direction as the day progresses, and are cast directly under the leader or Pikmin. In ''Pikmin 3'', all objects cast shadows, but shadows mainly remain directly below objects to more easily judge location and depth; they only elongate very near [[Day#Sunset|sunset]]. | ||
