'''Pikpik carrots''' ({{j|ピクピクニンジン|Pikupikuninjin}}) are vegetables native to [[Captain Olimar]]'s home planet, [[Hocotate]]. In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], it is stated that Olimar's favorite soup contains "three large onions and hundreds of miniature red, yellow, and blue carrots". The reason [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have their name is because Olimar believes that Pikmin resemble them, and they live in [[Onion|craft that resemble onions]], which also reminds him of his favorite soup.{{cite quote|The night before I left, my wife prepared my favourite soup. This soup is a famous dish on my planet, made with three large onions and hundreds of miniature red, yellow, and blue carrots.|Captain Olimar|the European instruction manual of ''Pikmin''}} | '''Pikpik carrots''' ({{j|ピクピクニンジン|Pikupikuninjin}}) are vegetables native to [[Captain Olimar]]'s home planet, [[Hocotate]].

In {{p2}}, pikpik carrots are seen in the in-game [[Piklopedia]] and look just like normal carrots – orange, about the size of a Pikmin, and having long leafy parts. These can be thrown at the Piklopedia's enemies and plants to see their reactions, such as the creature moving or waking up, or eating and attacking the carrots. The creatures will usually treat the carrots like [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. An unknown type of carrot is also mentioned by Louie in his notes on the [[Emperor Bulblax]], but he was likely just referring to a pikpik carrot. | In {{p2}}, pikpik carrots are seen in the in-game [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] and look just like normal carrots – orange, about the size of a Pikmin, and having long leafy parts.

In {{p3}}, pikpik carrots are mentioned by [[Brittany]] while on the [[S.S. Drake]]. She states Hocotate is famous for the pikpik carrots cultivated there, and that personally, she dislikes the taste. | In {{p3}}, pikpik carrots are mentioned by [[Brittany]] while on the [[S.S.

Inside the files of {{p2}} and {{p3}}, there is data for an entirely new species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], which are essentially the pikpik carrots. By editing the files, it is possible to force the games to spawn pikpik carrots as usable Pikmin.{{cite youtube|t8ZV4AzGglg|showing pikpik carrots as Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3''}} | Inside the files of {{p2}} and {{p3}}, there is data for an entirely new species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], which are essentially the pikpik carrots.

This is best done in ''Pikmin 2'' by editing the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] level files, which have data for the starting number of Pikmin of each type, including a 7th type – the carrots. Internally, the game recognizes the carrots as being a type of Pikmin – this is necessary in order for the [[Piklopedia]]'s carrot feature to work properly. The inclusion of a configuration file setting to enable pikpik carrots as party members is however quite mysterious. | This is best done in ''Pikmin 2'' by editing the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] level files, which have data for the starting number of Pikmin of each type, including a 7th type – the carrots.
