'''''Hey! Pikmin''''' (sometimes written 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!

Olimar's first encounter with the Pikmin from {{p1}} is mentioned, but not much else. However, Olimar still briefly mentions characters in the other games in various logs, such as [[Minor characters#Olimar's wife|his wife]] and [[The President]]. Chronologically, the game must take place some time after {{p3}}, as the Pikmin types first discovered in that game are immediately recognized by the [[S.S. Dolphin II]].{{cite quote|Ah!
