Let’s have a peek for a min at Pikmin 4. Fans’ll know there are three sweet steps to a Pikmin game. Grow pint-sized Pikmin, pluck ’em and then command ’em. These little plant-like pals are growing into a new adventure. Like gummy lollies, these peak Pikmin come in different flavours. Plus, they’re holding special skills. Found fire? Fire up some Red Pikmin. Worried about water? No worries for Blue Pikmin! Speaking of things that’ll make you blue, there’s an all-new plant pal. Ice Pikmin! Their job is to just be cool. Jokes. Crack puzzles and pesky pests with their ace ice-blasting abilities. That’s not the only new cool comrade. Two-legged Oatchi the Space Dog is a fetching find. Use Otchi to smash barriers, and safely transport packs of Pikmin around this giant world. You’ll need stacks of help to topple tricky boss brawls. Plus, dig up stacks of tops treasures!

DID YOU KNOW?

It’s called Pikmin 4, so there are four Pikmin games. Right? Not exactly. First, there was Pikmin and Pikmin 2. So far so good. Then they re-released a few years later. Next was Pikmin 3, and then Hey! Pikmin. Pikmin 3 Deluxe landed next and Pikmin Bloom not long after. Now Pikmin 9, uh, Pikmin 4!
