The [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]], as well as a [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]] cameo as collectible badges in ''[[mario:Donkey Konga 2|Donkey Konga 2]]''. Each character's appearance on the badge is a headshot of their clay artwork from {{p2}}. The player can obtain one of these badges by winning a mini-game, then playing a {{w|Concentration (game)|Concentration}}-based mini-game, "Match That Badge!" If the player flips over two identical panels of a character, including the Pikmin or Bulborb, they earn a badge of that character. If the player reaches a high score in a mini-game, they can apply a badge to their new score.

''[[mario:WarioWare: Smooth Moves|WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' contains a microgame called "[[mariowiki:Pikmin 2 (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Pikmin 2]]", in which the player must tilt the Wii Remote to roll the [[Empress Bulblax]] from side to side in an endeavor to squash Pikmin. The music in the microgame is the [[Music in Pikmin#Carry, Fight, Increase and be Eaten|theme]] played on the demo screens in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', and also used as the "[[Louie's Dark Secret]]" theme in ''Pikmin 2''. The level background resembles the last floor of the [[Frontier Cavern]] (which also has an Empress Bulblax as the boss in that sublevel), and is likely to be the same location.

Non-Japanese versions of ''[[mario:WarioWare: D.I.Y.|WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' contains a microgame called "[[mariowiki:Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]]", made by 9-Volt. A target goes across the screen and the player must tap the touchscreen when it reaches the nectar, thus [[throw]]ing the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] towards it. If the player misses, the Pikmin will fall into the water, its [[soul]] will come out, and the game will end in in a loss. If the Pikmin reaches the nectar, it will flower and the player will win. An arrangement of "[[Music in Pikmin#Cutscenes|Carry, Fight, Increase and be Eaten]]", also titled "[[mariowiki:List of Records in WarioWare: D.I.Y.#9-Volt (Nintendo music)|Pikmin]]", is one of the pre-made records that can be unlocked.

===''WarioWare: Move It!''===
''[[mario:WarioWare: Move It!|WarioWare: Move It!]]'' contains yet another microgame named ''Pikmin 2'' that has three versions of varying difficulty. In each, the player plays as [[Olimar]] (P2 plays as [[Louie]]) and must enter the knight stance and pluck all Pikmin sprouts on screen. The level 1 version takes place in the [[Valley of Repose]] with a Red Pikmin sprout, the level 2 version takes place in the [[Awakening Wood]] with a Yellow and Blue Pikmin sprout, and the level 3 version takes place in the [[Wistful Wild]] with a Purple and White Pikmin sprout. Every level uses a snippet of the music from its respective area. {{cite web|https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1705154974924038168|Tweet|Twitter|published={{date|22|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2023}}}}

When one transfers their downloadable content from a Nintendo DSi to a [[Nintendo 3DS]], or from a [[Wii]] to a [[Wii U]], various types of Pikmin are seen "[[carrying]]" the data over.


In the Wii U one, first they carry the content across the land and onto an odd ship. Sometimes, a Pikmin will not make it onto the ship, so the ship has to reopen. Then it travels from the metaphorical Wii planet to the metaphorical Wii U planet, that looks like the sun. They then continue to carry their data to the memory core of the Wii U. None of the Pikmin types are from ''Pikmin 3'', and there are no [[leader]]s to be seen.

Additionally, a Captain Olimar hat can be unlocked by spending Plaza Tickets, as well as a ''Pikmin''-themed speech balloon, can be unlocked at the Exchange Booth by trading in Plaza Tickets won in some of the mini-games.


In another minigame named Puzzle Swap, there are ''Pikmin''-themed puzzles. The first one features one of each of the three original types surrounded by [[Seeding Dandelion]]s, and it is a 15-piece puzzle that does not require Streetpass exclusive-puzzle pieces. The other ones are based off of scenes from the {{psm}}.

''{{w|Mad (TV series)|Mad}}'' is a TV series by {{w|Warner Bros.}} with short animated parodies of pop culture. ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' is the subject of one skit, titled ''Pikmin Pest B Gone''.{{cite youtube|9ELMFSYwr-A|of the ''Pikmin Pest B Gone'' skit}} It spoofs the typical TV {{w|infomercial}}s, and in it, a farmer is distressed about his crops being constantly attacked. The narrator suggests the use of a product called "Pikmin Pest B Gone", which is essentially Captain Olimar on the S.S. Dolphin and a group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] along with an [[Onion]]. The narrator explains how the shipment may take 3 to 5 light-years to arrive, referencing the distance between [[Hocotate]] and Earth, and how the Pikmin can attack crop pests and grow in number after [[carry|bringing back]] their bodies. The rate at which the Pikmin grow leaves the farmer worried about a new infestation &ndash; the Pikmin themselves. The narrator announces that there's a side-product called "Pikmin Pikmin B Gone", which is basically Olimar releasing [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]s from the S.S. Dolphin to bring down the Pikmin population. Now that the farmer is faced with an infestation of Bulborbs, the narrator suggests using "Pikmin B Gone B Gone". This product takes on the form of a blue S.S. Dolphin, but before he can explain what this is, the farmer decides it is best to just get rid of Olimar instead. He then grabs the Hocotatian and kicks him away.

''[[mario:The Super Mario Bros. Movie|The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' is a feature film adaptation of the ''Super Mario'' series.

In one shot (seen when the two dangle the dog outside of the window), a sculpture of a Pikmin can be seen on the far right.
