Because a higher maturity is better than a lower one, some rankings in the games use icons based on the Pikmin stems' tops to symbolize their value. For instance, in [[Mission Mode]], the bronze medal has a leaf icon, the silver medal has a bud, and the gold and platinum medals have a flower. Analogously, flowers are sometimes depicted in the series as symbols of evolution or idealism, such as the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|''Pikmin 2'' Challenge Mode]] levels on the grid changing to flowers upon completion. | Because a higher maturity is better than a lower one, some rankings in the games use icons based on the Pikmin stems' tops to symbolize their value.

A "rebirth" via a [[Candypop family|Candypop Bud]] could be considered a way for a Pikmin's status to revert back to a leaf, and this is true for every game, although technically, the Pikmin that gets tossed in disappears and a new one is born in its place. | A "rebirth" via a [[Candypop family|Candypop Bud]] could be considered a way for a Pikmin's status to revert back to a leaf, and this is true for every game, although technically, the Pikmin that gets tossed in disappears and a new one is born in its place. | ||

In ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]], Pikmin that are buried have different rules for when or if they should level up in maturity. At the moment, it is not known exactly what controls this, but it can be seen that Pikmin in the same cluster mature at roughly the same time, and that different clusters, different stages, and different player actions all have an impact on when and how Pikmin level up.{{cite youtube|hLORwLhYAUI|showing different Pikmin leveling up at different times in different scenarios, in Mission Mode}} | In ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]], Pikmin that are buried have different rules for when or if they should level up in maturity.

In [[Bingo Battle]], a Pikmin's leaf or flower is the same color as the team it's on – cyan for player 1, and pink for player 2. In both [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], maturity does not have an impact on what Pikmin will win a fight when Pikmin are attacking each other. Also to note is that in Bingo Battle, it is not possible to get bud Pikmin because they cannot evolve if they are left underground, but this is not true in ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} 2-Player Battle mode. | |||
