Players can take control of Pikmin of any type (up to two types), but only within their team. The only way to distinguish which Pikmin belong to which team is with the top of their stems: their leaf, bud or flower will be cyan when they belong to player 1's team, and pink for player 2's. Players start with a certain type of Pikmin – the same for both teams, but it is possible to find more Pikmin of their team buried in the wild. [[Pluck]]ing them increases the actual Pikmin count for the team, meaning that if the Pikmin are not plucked, they count as not belonging to the player in the first place.

Each player has an [[Onion]], to which Pikmin can [[Carrying|carry]] their spoils. Upon delivery, new Pikmin are created, and the Onion follows the same rules as it would in Story mode, except the maximum on-field limit for each player is 50 Pikmin instead. Seeing as leaders cannot access the Onion's management menu, the Onion is in charge of automatically spitting out Pikmin seeds whenever there is space for them in the field. Pikmin that die to opposing Pikmin attacks simply respawn at the Onion.

There are some special [[#Collectibles|collectibles]] scattered around the stage, which have different effects when recovered. Leaders cannot damage each other or opposing Pikmin with [[punch]]es, not even if enemies are around to enable punching. Enemy Pikmin can however attack opposing leaders and their army. If a leader has Pikmin latched on, the player can shake them off by repeatedly spinning {{button|wiiu|lstick|wii|stick|wiiu|pclstick}}. Like in ''Pikmin 2'', leaders that are being attacked by Pikmin cannot do anything but move about and shake them off, but unlike in ''Pikmin 2'', leaders can be downed from Pikmin attacks, although it does take a while.

The [[Wii U]] GamePad provides a [[KopPad#Map|map]] of the area, and Off-TV Play cannot be enabled. The map shows the location of [[fruit]]s, [[enemy|enemies]], [[#Cupid's Grenade|Cupid's Grenades]], [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. The color of the Pikmin's dots represent the Pikmin type, not the team.
In ''Pikmin 3'', the [[Wii U]] GamePad provides a [[KopPad#Map|map]] of the area, and Off-TV Play cannot be enabled. Since there is no GamePad in {{p3d}}, each player can instead open the [[radar]] on their own half of the screen. In either game, this map merely shows the area in its entirety and cannot be interacted with. It shows the location of [[fruit]]s, [[enemy|enemies]], [[#Cupid's Grenade|Cupid's Grenades]], [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. The color of the Pikmin's dots represent the Pikmin type, not the team. Oddly, in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', it is not possible to move while the radar is up, unless the leader is [[throw|holding]] a Pikmin.

Before starting, players must choose their [[Controls|control]] method. Players can choose any of the control schemes they could in Story mode, although only one player can use one controller. It is possible to re-establish the control types for each player by choosing the icon on the lower-right corner of the screen, but it is not possible to change controls mid-battle – the exception to this is toggling Stylus mode on the GamePad via the [[Menu#Pause|pause menu]].

A player can get items by carrying [[#Cupid's Grenade|cherries]] back to their Onion. If a Golden Grenade is obtained, the player gets five items in storage. To use the items, the player must press {{button|wiiu|padd|wii|padd|wiiu|pcpadd}}, or tap the item icon if on Stylus mode. Before an item becomes available to use, the roulette must first spin, which takes around three seconds. The spinning stops the player from being able to use items one right after the other. These are the possible items:

==Trivia==
* Bingo Battle and [[Mission Mode]] are the only modes in which the player can find White and Purple Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3''.
* When the Koppaite team carries its last item back to the Onion, the Pikmin appear to chant "Kop-pai, Kop-pai". When the Hocotatian team does this, the Pikmin chant "Hocotate", or "Ho-cotate, Ho-cotate."
