Pikipedia:Pikmin article guidelines: Difference between revisions

This section should explain where and how the Pikmin type is discovered, in every game it appears on.

This section has a list of all [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s and [[fruit]]s in which the player must use this type of Pikmin to obtain (in story mode), all [[enemies]] that need this Pikmin to defeat it, all [[cave]]s whose entrances require these Pikmin to be entered, and all major events that need this type of Pikmin, like discovering a new Onion. This list should only contain problems that cannot be overcome with any other Pikmin type whatsoever, not even with exploits. For every item, explain why the Pikmin are needed. The objects on this list should follow a style and general theme similar to the [[Pikipedia:Object list guidelines|object list guidelines]]. Only list items that make sense; for instance, it makes no sense to say Red Pikmin are needed for everything in the game because without them, the story wouldn't start, the second area wouldn't be unlocked, etc. Create subsections for each game.

Same as the previous section, except this contains the list of all uses that are not mandatory, but are still highly recommended or intended (to be done without exploits). For instance, if the path to a treasure is filled with [[obstacle]]s of a certain [[hazard]], the relevant Pikmin type is clearly recommended, but if with luck and/or skill, it is possible to get the job done with another type of Pikmin, then add this point to the list. The line between "almost mandatory" and "preferred" is a bit blurry, but ideally, this list is meant to help players prepare and divide their Pikmin army. Create subsections for each game.
