''New Play Control! Pikmin'' is a remake of the original [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] game for the [[Wii]], released in 2008 in Japan and 2009 elsewhere.  Changes have been made to ''Pikmin'''s graphics, [[saved game|save system]] and control scheme.

{{main|Red Pikmin}}

Red Pikmin were the first type of Pikmin that are encountered by Captain Olimar, at The Impact Site. They are used to retrieve the [[Main Engine]], since they are the only Pikmin that you have at the time. Red Pikmin are resistant to fire and are the strongest of all the Pikmin found in the game. They are also distinguished from other Pikmin because of a pointed nose-like growth, which they presumably use as spikes in battle, giving them a slight edge over Blue and Yellow Pikmin.

{{main|Yellow Pikmin}}

Yellow Pikmin are the second Pikmin revealed by Olimar, which was in the [[The Forest of Hope]], the second accessible area in the game. Yellow Pikmin are the only Pikmin with the ability to carry [[bomb-rocks]] (in this game), and have very large sail-like ears, which they use as glider wings, allowing them to be thrown very high. Yellow Pikmin are known for their ears, and are much lighter than the other Pikmin.  

{{main|Blue Pikmin}}

Blue Pikmin are the third and last kind of Pikmin found in the game. They are located in [[The Forest Navel]], the third accessible area in the game. Blue Pikmin are the only species of Pikmin that can move around in bodies of water, thanks to their gills. When non-blue Pikmin fall in the water, blue Pikmin will run to them and [[throw]] them out of the water, saving their lives. This is popularly known as the "lifeguard" ability.

This ending is obtained by collected all 30 [[ship part]]s, and so occurs after retrieving the [[Secret Safe]] from the [[Emperor Bulblax]] at the [[Final Trial]]. The [[camera]] zooms into the Dolphin and Captain Olimar jumps with joy. Then the scene darkens, becoming night, and Olimar walks to his ship and stops to look at the Pikmin one last time. The Pikmin tilt their heads in curiosity. Olimar gives the Pikmin a short wave good-bye, to which the Pikmin tilt their heads in the opposite direction. With a sigh, Olimar looks down and shakes his head. Olimar boards the Dolphin and lifts off successfully, and the Pikmin attack a nearby [[Spotty Bulborb]]. Next, the ship is seen flying away, with Onions of many, unseen colors following him. After the credits, the [[Enemy Reel]] is shown. This is the only canon ending that leads to ''Pikmin 2''.

====Neutral ending====

This ending can take place in any level and occurs when Day 30 ends. You will need at least all the mandatory parts, which are 25 pieces. Once day 30 arrives and passes without all 30 parts, but all the mandatory parts, he walks towards the Dolphin and takes a quick glance back before entering the cockpit of his ship and attempting to blast off. He successfully blasts off while three Pikmin (one red, one yellow, and one blue) look up into the sky, wondering if they'll ever see Olimar again. This ending appears not to be canon, as in ''Pikmin 2'', he has brought a souvenir home for his son, and the happy ending is the only ending where he had time to pick one up. In addition, it's revealed that Olimar's wife eventually finds the [[Secret Safe]] during his absence, and that ship part can only be retrieved after all other 29 were.

====Bad ending====

This is the worst ending available. To get it, 24 or fewer of the mandatory parts need to be collected and day 30 must be reached. Olimar will realize it's the last day that his life support will function, so he tries to lift off. Immediately after taking off, the [[Main Engine|engine]] explodes and his ship crashes back onto the planet. The Pikmin carry his unconscious body to an Onion, making Olimar pop out as a [[Olimar as Pikmin|Pikmin-like creature]], having his normal head, but the sprout of a Pikmin with a black stem, and without his [[spacesuit]] helmet. Oddly enough, every other creature in the games that is turned into seeds produces normal Pikmin, but Olimar becomes a hybrid form with some of his [[Hocotatian]] features remaining. This ending is not canon, as in ''Pikmin 2'', it shows that he successfully got off the planet.
