(→‎Other: Removed a repeated point, and reordered the others. Removed the point about the Wollywog being called the Wollyhop in the British version, because the Switch port is based on the NPC port, where it was renamed there.)

Changes[edit]

On top of the changes common to both this game and Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch), which are listed here, the following additional changes exist.

Gameplay[edit]

Graphics[edit]

Text[edit]

  • The copyright on the title screen has been changed to "© Nintendo".

Audio[edit]

  • A few sounds play differently, like the Onion ejecting seeds.
  • Some music instruments are slightly out of tune.
  • Since the attract mode cutscenes have been removed, Japanese players can also no longer hear Ai no Uta.

Other[edit]

  • The logo on the game's box art has been updated to resemble the modern Pikmin series logo, along with it now being known as Pikmin 1.
  • The enemy reel received several changes:
    • All of the gameplay has been re-recorded, now being more accurate to the game's actual gameplay.
    • A different font is used, and all of the text is center-aligned.
    • The text fades in, rather than getting "written" in like the original.
    • The Swooping Snitchbug is placed correctly in the reel's alphabetical order.
    • In the US version, the Wogpole, Wollywog, and Yellow Wollywog are renamed to Wolpole, Wollyhop, and Yellow Wollyhop respectively.
    • Instead of a dark filter closing in around a creature to highlight it, a smear effect is instantly placed.
  • Despite the game being based off of the New Play Control! version, the GameCube cursor is used.
  • When Olimar takes damage, the screen shakes and turns red briefly.

Other information[edit]

  • Game size: 1.09 GB.
  • Supported play modes: TV (1 player), tabletop (1 player), and handheld (1 player).
  • Supported controllers: two Joy-Cons, and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
