Pikmin in other media: Difference between revisions

The [[Empress Bulblax]] makes a [[Real-world and game references|cameo]] appearance in the game ''[[mario:WarioWare: Smooth Moves|WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', wherein the player must tilt the Wii-mote to roll the beast from side to side in an endeavor to squash Pikmin. This mini-game is called "[[Pikmin 2]]", and the background music is the music played on the demo screens in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]. The same music is also used as the "Louie's Dark Secret" theme in Pikmin 2.

Of ''[[mario:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'''s nearly 300 trophies two are based on Pikmin. One features a group of standing [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] of the three colors that are present in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] in the series, while the other is a trophy of [[Captain Olimar]] that can only be obtained if there is a [[Pikmin]] save on the memory card.

In ''[[wikipedia:Animal Crossing: Wild World|Animal Crossing: Wild World]]'', there is an item called "Pikmin". When touched, it says the word "Pikmin", sounding similar to the sound at the start of [[Pikmin 2]]. There is also a character named Gulliver, whose story shares similarities with the plot of [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]. The player hits him with a slingshot and makes him crash, after which his ship parts need collecting. His ship is named the "Porpoise 5000", which is a clearly a reference to the S.S. Dolphin.
