Combat in {{pa}} takes many cues from the main series games, but it differs greatly. Combat is more akin to that of a 3D dungeon crawler game, but mechanics like [[throw|throwing]] still exist. Combat differs between [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] and the Pikmin.

Enemies have weak points often identified by purple orbs, that are usually the only place where they can be attacked. Pikmin (both Mii and robotic) can latch on to these points to deal quick and steady damage. As well as enemies, Blocks, Question Blocks, and other players that have been rendered unable to attack by an enemy.

Besides enemies, Blocks, Question Blocks, and other players that have been rendered unable to attack by an enemy can all be attacked.


'''Combat as Olimar'''
;Combat as Olimar


Olimar commands a [[squad]] of small Pikmin robots that each deal a small amount of damage, just like the main series. Tapping with the {{button|wiiu|stylus}} will throw one of these Pikmin to the location tapped. They will attack automatically if they latch on to a weak point, but will attempt to return to Olimar if they miss. They can be regathered by using {{button|wiiu|zr}} or {{button|wiiu|zl}}. When calling Pikmin, the Mii Pikmin will also fly to Olimar and stack atop his head, where he can then throw them like the robotic Pikmin. Powerups change how Olimar and his Pikmin attack, but the core concepts remain.

The other players control [[Mii|Miis]] in Pikmin costumes. They can attack with {{button|wii|1}}, which will do a simple smack with whatever is on the end of their stem. This, in combination with {{button|wii|2}} to jump, makes the players able to utilize several attacks. When using powerups, some of these attacks behave differently.
