'''''Hey! Pikmin''''' (sometimes stylized as '''''Hey! PIKMIN''''') is a spin-off game in the {{ps}}, released in 2017 for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The game takes place sometime after the events of {{p3}}, and sees [[Captain Olimar]] crash-landing on an [[Hey! Pikmin planet|unfamiliar planet]] and collecting [[treasure]] to gather enough [[Sparklium]] to fuel his ship back into working condition. The game plays very differently to the main games in the series, as it is a 2.5D puzzle platformer. The focus of the game is not on organizing the Pikmin, multi-tasking, and strategy, but is instead on reflexes, accurate aiming, and maneuverability. | '''''Hey!

After this, Captain Olimar wakes up from the crash landing as the ship's pod assesses his and the ship's situation. After doing so, it concludes that the ship's fuel – the [[Sparklium]] supply – is completely empty. The pod picks up Sparklium signals and sends the captain onward, where the two stumble upon a wild [[Red Pikmin]]. After it being scared off, and the two continue going forward, Captain Olimar uses his [[whistle]] to bring out the Pikmin hiding in the weeds, only to realize there are actually four of them hiding, not just one. Moving forward a bit, the group discovers some [[Sparklium Seed]]s. It is at this point that the pod confirms that each seed contains one Sparklium, but Olimar needs 30 thousand to be able to escape. After the ship reassures the demoralized captain, everyone moves further onward, find some more seeds, and the tutorial level is completed. | After this, Captain Olimar wakes up from the crash landing as the ship's pod assesses his and the ship's situation.

There are two primary goals; the first is obtaining {{sparklium|30,000}} Sparklium in order to fully power the ship again, and the second is searching for a missing key component of the S.S. Dolphin II, the [[Sparklium Converter]], which is needed in order to return home. This final piece can be obtained from the last sector, [[The Final Stretch]]. | ||

In the cutscene after the credits, a scene similar to the intro plays out, except instead of Olimar coming face to face with asteroids, he sees [[Hocotate]] in the distance.

The player can move [[Olimar]] left or right on the ground, and also vertically when climbing a [[vine]], swimming [[Water|underwater]], or when being held afloat by [[Winged Pikmin]]. Small ledges can be climbed up by simply walking in their direction. Captain Olimar can also deploy his [[jetpack]], which allows the player to control him in midair left or right for a short time. | ||
Pikmin cannot be grown in this game | Pikmin cannot be grown in this game. Instead, they're found in the wild, either behind foliage or obtained in short cutscenes. Because of this, enemies do not drop corpses (although they still release [[soul]]s), and just fade away shortly after being taken down. Pikmin hiding behind foliage will occasionally pop in and out of their hiding spot, to let the player know that they're there. Pikmin are usually found in groups of 4. | ||

This is also the only way to add wild Pikmin to the party. Once in Olimar's group, they can be [[throw]]n by him in the direction the player taps. Unlike the main ''Pikmin'' games, the Pikmin cannot be told to idle as normal – throwing a Pikmin away to an enemy or no task in particular will just make the Pikmin walk back to Olimar. This casual walk can be ordered into a run by simply whistling. Using the jetpack will however dismiss non-[[Winged Pikmin|Winged]] Pikmin on the spot, until they are called back. Entering a doorway while some Pikmin are busy carrying or fighting will also leave them idling, although they can still hold on to whatever item they are holding if the player didn't wander too far. | ||
Pikmin that are thrown at branches from below go up through them and land on top of them. Pikmin that land close to a task like a pile of [[Bridge#Fragment|bridge fragment]]s will automatically walk towards it and begin working on it. Enemy health is represented with a horizontal bar, unlike the [[HUD#Health wheel|pie chart]] of previous games. Blue Pikmin thrown while underwater are tossed in a straight line instead of an arc, and swim back to Olimar right away. This is true even if they hit an enemy, and is also the case for thrown Winged Pikmin. Other Pikmin, when thrown at enemies, will either bounce off the enemy or, if possible, latch on to it and attack repeatedly. Unlike the previous games, that show a [[HUD#Fraction numbers|fraction]] to represent how many Pikmin are needed to pick something up, some bubbles appear on top of the object, matching the number of Pikmin necessary. As Pikmin are added, the bubbles become filled one by one. | Pikmin that are thrown at branches from below go up through them and land on top of them.
