Pikmin
Pikmin may be small and plantlike, but they can be a space traveler's best friend. Stranded on an unknown planet, Captain Olimar must enlist the help of these native Pikmin to rebuild his spaceship before the life-support system runs out. In the meantime, you'll have to fend off attackers and solve various puzzles. To produce additional multicolored Pikmin you must defeat enemies and carry them back to the Pikmin nests called onions. But beware--watching giant predators gobble your Pikmin might make you angrier than you'd expect.

Cheat Codes/Hints
100 pikmin
Arrive in the Distant Spring on or before Day 15. Head south with blue pikmin. You should come across a large egg. Break it open and the Smokey Progg will come out. Lead it to the landing site and throw pikmin on its head. Keep throwing red, blue, or yellow pikmin on its head. Eventualy it will be defeated producing an egg thats worth 100 pikmin!
Alternate music
Remain idle at the level selection menu for about five to ten minutes. You will hear a different song playing in the background. This also occurs in Challenge Mode.
Challenge Mode
Once you have saved your progress once and you have all three onions, a new option will be available from the main menu: Challenge Mode. This mode lets you go back and compete in the areas that you have already opend up in the main game. The idea is not to find spaceship pieces, but rather to build as big a Pikmin army as you can before the sun sets. The biggest army scores are saved and entered into a ranking.
Challenge mode option
Save the game at any point to unlock a "Challenge Mode" option at the main menu. Select that option to replay previously completed sections in a time attack type scenario. Collect as many Pikmin as possible before nightfall.
.
Alternately, complete one full day on The Impact Site. Get both parts while in the day. You will then unlock the "Challenge Mode" option when the Gamecube is restarted.

Fireworks
When you have four Pikmin around you, hit down on the D-Pad and you will lay down. Four Pikmin will then carry you like anything else they carry to an Onion and when you got flying up into it, shortly after you land, there will be some fireworks from the Onion.
Fireworks
Press Down to round up four Pikmin to carry you back to your base camp. A short fireworks display appear. This also eventually happens if you stand idle.

Glitch: Bridge eaters eat forever
When you have a bridge built by the Pikmin, the bridge eaters will try to eat the bridge. Wait until they get close to eating it all the way, then hit them to the side. Some will keep eating the bridge. Note: Before you do this, make sure that you do not have to use the bridge again.
Glitch: Engine screen
On the first day when you do not have the Main Engine yet, press A by the base of the rocket. The screen that normally appears if you stood in the pool of light on any other day will be displayed.
Hint: #1 Ionium Jet
Get 15 to 20 Blue Pikmin and jump down to the to the river, so that you see the part. Gather the Pikmin and have them get the part. If you get lost, follow the Pikmin. They will know the way.
Hint: 10 Pellets
After you get the Blue Pikmin, go to the Impact Site. There is an out of reach area nearby with three 10 Pellets of each color. To get them, take a few Blue Pikmin and take them near there. They should start attacking something on the ground. Go where they were attacking to see that it is geyser that will get you up there. Toss the Pikmin up there before getting on the geyser. The Pikmin slide, so be quick. Also, take more than 10 in case a few fall off.
