This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

An example of a pack of Pikmin e-Reader cards.

The Nintendo e-Reader is a Game Boy Advance add-on device that reads a special strip on e-Reader cards via an LED scanner. Its purpose is to unlock mini-games, items, levels or functions for games on the GBA, or as games in themselves. There are multiple available packs of Pikmin e-Reader cards, both released only in Japan after the release of Pikmin 2. Each card contains a number of simple Pikmin-based mini-games, which can be played by connecting the e-Reader to a Game Boy Player connected to a GameCube in which the Pikmin 2 disk is placed.

Pack designs include Onions, Pikmin, Pellet Posies and Candypop Buds, while individual cards depict enemies, Pikmin or captains. Some of the mini-games are as follows:

  • "Hikkonuki Pikmin": The player needs to pluck every Pikmin from the ground.
  • "Tekuteku Pikmin": The player must control the Pikmin moving in the same direction to try to get them into the goal.
  • "Tsunagete Pikmin": The player must move panels around to create a path for the Pikmin so that they can reach the goal.
