New Play Control! Pikmin
New Play Control! 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.

#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.
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.
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!
Advanced throwing technique
This trick is very helpful in fighting Pearly Clamclamps and Emperor Bulblax. If you want to throw Pikmin very rapidly, to do a lot of damage, press A rapidly while also using the C-stick to make the Pikmin swarm around Olimar. There will always be a Pikmin handy for Olimar to throw every time you press A.
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.
Analog Computer
Continuing from the Libra part, just get more Red and Blue Pikmin and proceed from the bridge up further. Have the Blue Pikmin to drag the part onto land. Then, have your Red Pikmin take the part back and the Blue Pikmin making the stick to water. Then, gather the Blue Pikmin from the river and go up the ramp to the Onions.
Background information
Go to any area. Once you gain control over Olimar, immediately go to sunset. Since there were no events during the day, Olimar will write about the background of the game in his diary. It will not appear at first, but keep doing it. Note: Do not save the game to avoid wasting days. The diary will give you information such as where he is from, about his family, about the Pikmin, etc. Note: This will not work if you are on the first or last day in the game.
Blowing up walls faster
Get a group of Yellow Pikmin all with bombs go up to a wall. If it is a regular wall, then just throw three of them at one time. If it is a black wall, then carefully throw about four of them, then throw the last two after the first explosion.
Blue Pikmin
Blue Pikmin are amphibious. They can be on both land and water. They also can serve as lifeguards for drowning Pikmin (Red or Yellow).
Bombs
When you are trying to blow up walls with your Yellow Pikmin and have bombs remaining after the task is completed, keep them. They are very useful for killing enemies. Keep the Pikmin with the bombs away from the group. If a bomb explodes, your entire group may die. To use the Pikmin with the leftover bombs, simply throw them at the target and call them back. This will either injure or kill the enemy. If the enemy is not dead just call your group and finish it off.
