Ranking Every Pikmin Game From Worst To Best

Pikmin Adventure

You can play Pikmin Adventure with your friends on the Wii U. It’s one of a set of mini-games. The game was played by working together to kill a lot of monsters and get out of a spaceship area. You were also able to use your Mii characters.

It wasn’t too hard to figure out how to use the tools. The action is very different from the puzzle-solving in the other games in the series, and the game is very fast-paced.

Hey! Pikmin

Nintendo is always excited about Hey!, a game that makes great use of the strange Amiibo functionality. Pikmin was a simple puzzle game that changed things a bit, but only to make things easier. The other games in the series were harder, though.

Instead of being able to bring your own Pikmin with you to different places, like in Pikmin 2 when you were exploring caves, you had to use the ones that were already there. There were times when most of the puzzles were pretty dull and had easy answers. If anything, the game was relaxing, and it was a great emotional follow-up to Pikmin 3.

Pikmin Bloom

Pikmin Bloom is a mobile game that rewards you for walking around and discovering things in real life. It works a lot like Pokémon Go. You can grow more Pikmin when you go for walks, and you can even talk to your plant friends in virtual reality.

You can write down where you went and what you did in each picture throughout the day. On top of that, you could find different colors of Pikmin in some places, along with flowers and things like outfits.

Pikmin 3

While Pikmin 3 was a good addition to the series overall, it was let down by how short it was and how the gameplay was changed to make everything a lot easier. The timer that kept you on track for the day was gone, taking away half of the motivation to finish the game faster.

There was something new and interesting about the bingo fights you could have in this PVP game, but the story and puzzle-solving fun in the other games were much better than what this one had to offer.

Pikmin 3 added a few more colors to the Pikmin characters and added more minigames where players could compete with each other. People could even post pictures of their game to the Miiverse back then.

After that, the Deluxe Edition pretty much made up for it by adding back old features from other games, like Pikmin 2’s Piklopedia. Plus, this Switch version had all the DLCs for the Wii U version plus more sequences.

Pikmin

Japan went crazy for the first Pikmin game, which was the one that started it all. Even though the tutorials were repeated a lot, the game was still hard to get the hang of. The task in this game is to find 30 parts for their spaceship within 30 days, making it one of the hardest.

Every day you played, you had to be very smart and know your way around the map. You needed to know what each of your Pikmin could do. Each area had its own set of dangers that you had to figure out on your own. This game depended on players being interested and remembering what they learned.

It was fun, hard, and sometimes heartbreaking when you lost a lot of Red Pikmin to something like water because the game didn’t tell you that they couldn’t swim like the Blue Pikmin you later meet. You had to go back to some areas of the game more than once to find all the parts or get to other places.

The game was brilliant at keeping you on the edge of your seat, even if the camera didn’t always agree with you. The game was one of a kind and way ahead of its time. It also had a cute little story that led to more games in the series.

Pikmin 4

Pikmin 4 made up for what the last game in the series lacked by adding new Pikmin, a better camera control system, and better graphics. The lack of challenging features doesn’t take away from the fun, though. It even had a separate mode where you could play the original Pikmin game, but with some changes, like shorter days and different dangers in some places.

This game had caves to explore, co-op gameplay, and a “rewind” or “undo” button to help you not feel bad about a mistake you made. It’s not too hard to solve the puzzles, and there are items to find that will help you fuel your spaceship.

You can connect with your world in both day and night modes, which are each different from the other. The level design is great and reminds me of the other popular games in the series. You have to use all of your Pikmin in new and interesting ways to beat the game. It stayed true to its roots, which is one reason why it was so popular.

Pikmin 2

What happens when you take a great game and make all the good things about it even better? It was Pikmin 2, with its new areas, beautiful cutscenes, and redesigned settings. There are now underground caves with sublevels and new enemies.

While staying true to the first game, Flappy Bird fixed the problems with the first game and made it the right follow-up. It let you play as two different characters, had a Piklopedia, and had the same time limits as the last game, which made it tough and difficult.

The conversation was sometimes clever and funny. It was fun to keep up with the story, and it seemed like it naturally built on what had happened before. The idea was kept fresh with the new Pikmin and sprays to use, and the music was also very relaxing.

It got rid of the annoying 30-day deadline and gave you time to breathe and make a better plan for how to deal with the different dangers in your area. There were also different game modes, such as a PVP “capture the flag” mode and a “challenge” mode where you had to get out of deep caves.
