The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] have a variety of '''controls''' used to control the game's [[menu]]s, [[leader]]s, [[camera]] and gameplay mechanics. These controls come in the form of button presses and releases, analog stick tilts, [[Wii]] Remote pointer movements and touchscreen touches.
The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] have a variety of '''controls''' used to control the game's [[menu]]s, [[leader]]s, [[camera]] and gameplay mechanics. These controls come in the form of button presses and releases, analog stick tilts, [[Wii]] Remote pointer movements and touchscreen touches.
For the [[GameCube]] games, there are two button combinations that replace the need to interact with the physical console itself: one resets the game without pressing the button on the console, and the other resets the controller's neutral position, without needing to unplug and replug it. The former can be achieved by holding {{button|gc|x}} + {{button|gc|b}} + {{button|gc|start}} for a few seconds. For the latter, the player must hold {{button|gc|x}} + {{button|gc|y}} + {{button|gc|start}}, for three seconds, without touching {{button|gc|stick}}, {{button|gc|c}}, {{button|gc|l}} or {{button|gc|r}}. This is because when the console is booted, or the controller's neutral position is reset, the position of the sticks and the analog shoulder buttons is considered to be the default. If, for instance, the Control Stick is held to the right when the default position is being registered, then the game will assume that the Stick is being held left, if the player releases the Control Stick.

The first title in the franchise is played on the [[GameCube]], and hence, with the GameCube controller. The ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'' version is played using the [[Wii]] Remote and the Nunchuk.
The first title in the franchise is played on the [[GameCube]], and hence, with the GameCube controller. The ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'' version is played using the [[Wii]] Remote and the Nunchuk, and most button inputs are edited accordingly. In the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]], the controls are more faithful to the GameCube version than ''New Play Control! Pikmin'', though the inputs themselves are very similar to {{p3d}}.

{{p3d}} changes many of the controls from ''Pikmin 3'' due to factors like the differences between the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] (such as the lack of a second screen), changes to mechanics such as [[charging]], and utilization of the Switch's gyroscope.


Each player can play the game with 2 combined Joy-Con, a Pro Controller, or in 2-player exclusively, a single Joy-Con sideways. The game features three cursor control styles: stick-only, gyro-stick, and gyro-pointer. These control modes are set in the [[pause menu]].
The available control schemes depend on the amount of players.
* In single-player, the player can use one of the following: 2 combined Joy-Con attached to the console, 2 combined Joy-Con detached from the console, or a Pro Controller.
* In 2-player, each player can use one of the following: 2 combined Joy-Con detached from the console, a Pro Controller, or a single Joy-Con sideways.
 
The game features three cursor control styles: stick-only, gyro-stick, and gyro-pointer. These control modes are set in the [[pause menu]].
* With stick-only controls, moving {{button|switch|lstick}} lightly controls the cursor, and moving fully controls both the leader and cursor. By tilting the stick lightly, the cursor can go past its standard range; when it does, it turns cyan. Pikmin can be thrown farther than normal this way, but only roughly until the midway point between the maximum standard range and the maximum "light tilt" range. The whistle always comes from where the cursor is. Moving the stick fully if the cursor was past the standard range will return it to standard range. In this mode, rotating the camera will keep the cursor in place. Unlike ''Pikmin 3'', the cursor is based on the area's geometry. For instance, if the player is overlooking a cliff and has the cursor on the edge, holding up will make the cursor move forward in the area and dip down the edge, despite the fact that doing this moved the cursor ''down'' on the screen.

* With gyro-stick controls, {{button|switch|lstick}} controls the leader when fully held, but also controls the cursor regardless of how much it is tilted. Tilting the controller will also move the cursor. In reality, there is an imaginary "anchor" that is controlled by {{button|switch|lstick}}, and tilting the controller allows the cursor to offset around this point, up to a fixed radius around the point. For unknown reasons, in certain scenarios the cursor will behave erratically &ndash; if the gyro offset is at a given angle, and the anchor moves to that same side compared to the leader, the offset will cause the cursor to very quickly jump to the leader.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1317587774279544838|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|17|October|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} {{button|switch|zl}} and {{button|switch|zr}} both reset the cursor's position and gyro offset.

===''Pikmin 4''===
{{p4}} has a similar control scheme to ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', with some notable changes. Shigeru Miyamoto said in the game's announcement presentation that {{transcript|Nintendo Switch has made controlling the game simpler, meaning you can further concentrate on the core essence of Pikmin gameplay.}}
The available control schemes depend on the amount of players.
* In single-player, the player can use one of the following: 2 combined Joy-Cons attached to the console, 2 combined Joy-Cons detached from the console, or a Pro Controller.
* In 2-player, either player can use 2 combined Joy-Cons detached from the console, a Pro Controller, or a single Joy-Con horizontally and vertically for P1 and P2 respectively.

*When the leader is being held by a [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]], [[Swooping Snitchbug]] or [[Bumbling Snitchbug]], the player can rotate the main stick to break free. If they do not do it in time, they subject the leader to damage. In {{p3d}}, the player may also shake the controller itself.

*In ''Pikmin 3'', when a leader is thrown to the ground, the player can mash directions on {{button|wiiu|lstick|wii|stick}} &ndash; such as twirling &ndash; to make them get up. The player can also shake the Nunchuk to make them get up (usually easier and faster). The leader will get up by themselves eventually, however. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', they get up by themselves right away.

*When playing as [[Oatchi]] in ''Pikmin 4'', the player can mash the B button to make him recover from a hazard such as [[fire]], [[poison]] or [[panic]] sooner.
In a sense, it could be said that the games prior to ''Pikmin 3'' require the player to mash {{button|gc|a|wii|a}} to continuously [[pluck]] Pikmin, but this is only partially true: the player needs only to press the button during a pluck animation, in order to assure that the next Pikmin will also be automatically plucked. In addition, mashing the [[throw]] button is required in order to throw Pikmin in quick succession.

If the player is not interested in a cutscene's dialog, the fastest way to advance it is by mashing the {{button|gc|a|wii|a|wiiu|a}} and {{button|gc|b|wii|b|wiiu|b}} buttons. If the game in question allows using the "B" button to both advance the text and auto-fill the letters, then that button may be mashed alone.

If the game in question allows using the "B" button to both advance the text and auto-fill the letters, then that button may be mashed alone.
In ''Pikmin 2'', the mashing logic only reads from the control stick, not any other button or the C-stick. The game keeps track of how hard the player's been mashing lately as a numeric value. As the player mashes, this number increases every frame, but it also decreases every [[frame]] the player doesn't mash, meaning the player has to keep mashing to keep that number up. Due to the way the system works, this number can never go beyond 14. Every frame where that number is higher than 5, the game rolls a [[random]] number between 1 and 22, and if that number is below it, it can proceed to the next check: a roll between 1 and 10, where if the number is 1, the leader is freed. In practice, this means the harder the player has mashed in the past 22 frames, the higher their chance of escaping, and even with the fastest possible mashing, there's a 14/22 &times; a 1/10 chance every frame to be freed.
==Console and controller resetting==
For the [[GameCube]] games, there are two button combinations that replace the need to interact with the physical console itself: one resets the game without pressing the button on the console, and the other resets the controller's neutral position, without needing to unplug and replug it. The former can be achieved by holding {{button|gc|x}} + {{button|gc|b}} + {{button|gc|start}} for a few seconds. For the latter, the player must hold {{button|gc|x}} + {{button|gc|y}} + {{button|gc|start}}, for three seconds, without touching {{button|gc|stick}}, {{button|gc|c}}, {{button|gc|l}} or {{button|gc|r}}. This is because when the console is booted, or the controller's neutral position is reset, the position of the sticks and the analog shoulder buttons is considered to be the default. If, for instance, the Control Stick is held to the right when the default position is being registered, then the game will assume that the Stick is being held left, if the player releases the Control Stick.


==Controller diagram==
==Controller diagram==
{{p1}}, {{npcp1}}, and {{p3d}} contain diagrams of the controller with labels on what each button does during gameplay. In ''Pikmin'' and its remake, a diagram is found in [[Olimar's monitor]], and in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', diagrams of the different control styles are found in the Control Guide in the [[pause menu]]. These can be used should the player forget the controls.
