==Creature description== | |||
Pikmin are ant-like animal/plant hybrids that follow around [[Captain Olimar]]. Each Pikmin has a specific ability, and up to 100 will follow Olimar. | |||
*Red Pikmin - High attack power, and immune to fire-based attacks and hazards. | |||
*Yellow Pikmin - Flies forward higher than usual when thrown. It can carry and set bombs. | |||
*Blue Pikmin - Does not drown when underwter and is immune to water-based attacks and hazards. | |||
*Purple Pikmin - An uncommon Pikmin whose fat bulk allows it to carry items with 10 times the strength of a normal Pikmin. | |||
*White Pikmin - Quick and light, and can dig up items from the ground. Has a poisonous body that will damage enemies if eaten up. | |||
The plant on an individual Pikmin's head indicates how developed and strong it is, affecting battling ability and running speed. In the games a fully bloomed flower meant a Pikmin was stronger and faster than a Pikmin with just a leaf on its head. Ordinarily, Pikmin leaves become Pikmin flowers if the Pikmin drink nectar. | |||
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''== | |||
''Pikmin'' makes a small cameo in this game in the form of two trophies: One about the Pikmin themselves and one about [[Captain Olimar]] with some Pikmin. (''Pikmin'' was released right before ''Melee'' and was helped by it in promotional purposes.) | |||
===As a trophy=== | |||
The trophy specifically about the Pikmin is unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the [[Trophy Lottery]] and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows: | |||
:'''Pikmin''' | |||

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''== | |||
Pikmin follow around [[Pikmin & Olimar|Captain Olimar]] after Olimar "summons" them by using the [[Pikmin Pluck]] to pull them out of the ground. Each Pikmin has a specific ability, and up to 6 will follow Olimar single-file. | |||

The flowers on the Pikmin's head are shown in all forms of development. In the games a fully bloomed flower meant a Pikmin was stronger and faster than a Pikmin with just a leaf on it's head. It is currently unknown if this will carry on into Brawl and how one makes a Pikmin's flower grow. | The flowers on the Pikmin's head are shown in all forms of development.
