Character	Image	Description
Captain Olimar		A cosmic castaway becomes a brave leader of Pikmin. When his spaceship crash lands on a mysterious planet, Captain Olimar could use a few friends—so he figured out a way to grow some new buds.
Red Pikmin		These fire-proof fighters can take down a foe in nothing flat! All the Pikmin will work hard for you, but will they walk through fire for you? Probably. But you should use the red guys for that job—so nobody gets hurt.
Blue Pikmin		We’ve got a sinking feeling that you'll like these amphibious creatures. Most Pikmin don’t like it underwater, but not these tiny troopers: they dive into hazardous waters to reach new areas, and can even attack aquatic enemies.
Yellow Pikmin		These awesome, unshockable diggers soar through the air with greatest of ease! Dig this! Toss yellow types high in the air, like they just don’t care—because they fly super far when you need to get to distant objectives.
Rock Pikmin		Chunky Rock Pikmin will do you a solid when obstacles are in your way. Throw these heavy-duty hunks of helpfulness to smash hard objects and defeat enemies that are too troublesome for the other types of Pikmin.
Winged Pikmin		Special delivery! Have these flowered flying friends hoist the burden for you. If you throw enough Pikmin at something, they’ll probably carry it, but sometimes you need a special buddy to carry it through the air. Luckily, you have such a buddy.
Purple Pikmin		Purple flower power will give you the strength to carry on. Nothing beats a Purple Pikmin when things get heavy. When the wind starts blowing down your other friends, these sturdy little spuds will keep moving forward.
White Pikmin		Sure, these little guys are poisonous—but only to your enemies. Feel free to hug them! They’re small and not particularly strong, but the White Pikmin leave a lasting impression on hostile critters with their cuteness and, um, long-lasting poison.
Louie	File:Louie P2 art.png	Captain Olimar’s second in command is hungry for adventure. Louie is a great assistant if you're going on a mission to a dangerous planet. Just keep him away from the cargo hold, because he has some appetite control issues.
Alph, Brittany, and Charlie		Three brave explorers enlist the help of Pikmin to save their starving home planet, Koppai. This talented triple team has a crack pilot, an engineer, and a botanist—it’s a full-on expedition! They always work toward a common goal, even when they're separated from each other.
Bulborb		These big-eyed predators aren't really “bad” guys—they just missed breakfast. What's that thing going bump in the night? It's an adorable Bulborb, and it won't stop eating Pikmin until you defeat it.
