===Demo version===
An eShop demo for ''Pikmin 3'' was released following the launch of the [[Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' Short Movies]], as a way for new fans to try out the series. In the demo, the player can play up until they defeat the [[Armored Mawdad]] and collect the [[Data Glutton]] in Story mode, at which point the game will prompt the player to buy the full version. [[Tropical Forest]] and [[Thirsty Desert]] in the Collect Treasure! section of [[Mission Mode]] are also available. Battle Enemies! remains inaccessible, and [[downloadable content]] cannot be purchased. In Defeat Bosses!, only the Armored Mawdad can be challenged. [[Bingo Battle]] is not available in the demo. [[Saved game|Save data]] can be transferred over from the demo to the full game. The story will also end if the player spends five [[day]]s on the planet without defeating the Armored Mawdad.

===Kiosk Unit demo===
The official ''Pikmin 3'' Kiosk Unit has a demo of the game, different from the eShop demo{{cite youtube|7d9ZfftQ314|of the Wii U Kiosk demo}}. Before the demo proper, there's a small blurb alongside a quick tutorial video. In the demo itself, on the title screen, the [[Mission Mode]] option has a "Demo" label on top of it, with a [[Red Pikmin]] poking from behind. Inside the Mission Mode menu, it's revealed that the mode is actually called "Demo" here, with the subtitle "Pikmin 3 - Try it for yourself!" Only Collect Treasure! is available, and the only stage is called "Trial Stage". The player is given 6 minutes to complete the stage. Right before the player can go ahead and start the stage, a quick guide appears, showing off the controls, and the basics of Pikmin behavior and life cycles. The stage is similar to [[Tropical Forest]], but with different object placements. Pausing the game mid-stage will show the controls again, and when the time is up, the words "End of demo" appear, followed by the stage results, but with the title "Demo version" on top. After that, the message "Thanks for playing! There's lots more to explore in full the version of Pikmin 3.", before it boots back to the main demo menu.
