'''''Pikmin 3''''' is the third installment in the {{ps}}, released in 2013 for the [[Wii U]].It is the first original Pikmin game since 2004's Pikmin 2, released nearly 9 years earlier. The game takes place some time after the events of {{p2}}, and sees [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]] from the planet of [[Koppai]] landing on [[PNF-404]] to collect [[fruit]] to avoid a planet-wide food shortage. Elements new to the series include two new [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] types, the ability to throw [[leader]]s and automate their movement, and an in-game information terminal, the [[KopPad]]. The game was also ported to the [[Nintendo Switch]] with added content, under the title {{p3d}}. The next game released in the series is the spin-off game {{hp}}, which takes place after ''Pikmin 3''. Pikmin 4 is to succeed it.

Besides that, using the [[KopPad]], it is possible to take highly-detailed pictures from the perspective of a [[leader]], using the Wii U GamePad. Players could then share their pictures over Nintendo's Miiverse service, on the ''Pikmin 3'' community. As of november 7th 2017, Miiverse support for pikmin 3 has been discontinued.
