	Pikmin · © 2004 Nintendo.
		Pikmin seem to be skilled engineers, as the bridges they create never collapse under weight, although some indigenous creatures appear to consume wood and con damage or even completely destroy bridges over time.
		Pikmin use pellets and the carcasses of defeated creatures to increase their numbers, so when more than one color of Pikmin is cooperating to carry an object, the Pikmin take it to the Onion that matches the color of the majority of Pikmin carrying the object, not the majority of Pikmin out in the field.
		All Pikmin are capable of fighting indigenous creatures found in their surroundings, although certain colors of Pikmin may be better suited to fight certain enemies or to fight in certain areas.

	Pikmin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pikmin (ピクミン in Japanese) is the first of the Pikmin series of video games which are designed by Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto (of Mario and Zelda fame).
		The basic physical characteristics of Pikmin are somewhat of a mystery, as very few clues are given by the physical elements present in the Pikmin's environment.
		Pikmin are very simple physically, consisting of little more than a head, slender body, two arms and two legs, all four of which are very thin.

	Pikmin series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pikmin are generally very weak, unless they are used in teams, as the Pikmin are excellent at working together.
		It has been suspected that the Pikmin series is set in a far flung future where humanity is gone and new animals have evolved or other alien animals have settled on the planet.
		In Pikmin 2, each of the four playable areas is experiencing a different season, corresponding to the four seasons on Earth.

	Pikmin 2 Preview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Game-play in Pikmin 2 is essentially the same as it was in the first, with the exception of a few fairly major additions.
		The Pikmin are actually naturally “grown” from the ground (They are plants, after all), and as they mature and sprout, Olimar can pluck them from the soil, and in turn, use them to help create more Pikmin.
		Pikmin 2 is shaping up to be an excellent strategy/adventure game, with the flaws of the original being reworked, and the needed (and highly wanted) additions being made.

		Each colour of Pikmin has a special trait - red is impervious to fire, blue to water and yellow to electricity (yellow can also be thrown higher, though they no longer use bomb rocks).
		There are two new colours of Pikmin to use as well: purple is heavy and strong, and white is small and poisonous.
		In a continuation of the nameplay from the original Pikmin, where Olimar's name is the reverse of the Japanese spelling of 'Mario' (o-ri-ma), his partner's name is similarly shared with the Mario series.

	Lvl. - Pikmin & Pikmin 2
		When the day is almost done, quickly gather your Pikmin up and get them in their onions (these are the homes of the Pikmin, and where they are stored when you're not using them) before the time runs outor else they'll be munched by enemies.
		Pikmin 2 solves that problem by adding a few new modes (Battle and Challenge modes for 2 players), expanding the quest and giving you all the time you need to solve it, unlocking a new realm after beating the game's initial setting (which is 1000 pikos), and finding every scrap of treasure in the game.
		The series is a high point on the Gamecube’s lineup, and its unique take on strategy is one that players should try out to see if it's up their alley.

	Pikmin 2 Review
		When Pikmin came out few people understood the innovative concept which is something like a mix of lemmings and a brain teaser.
		Even though Pikmin 2 may not feel as fresh as the original game Pikmin 2 is still novel compared to the slew of first person shooters and 3D platformers out there.
		Pikmin 2 is going to have its North American debut on August 30th.

		Each color Pikmin has an onion spacecraft (yes, a large flying onion) that can store an unlimited number of that color in it, without counting against the limit of 100 Pikmin active in the game world.
		Pikmin can be put in or taken out of their onion at any time, as long as the total number of Pikmin in the game world doesn’t exceed 100.
		At the end of the day all Pikmin need to be either following Captain Olimar, directly in front of Olimar’s ship, under one of the onions, or planted in the ground (usually under an onion, but some enemies actually smash Pikmin back into the ground).

		Captain Olimar knows all about this little phenomenon that we call the “real life.” In the previous installment of the Pikmin series, the courageous space captain crashed into a remote planet, with only a limited window of survival.
		The default Red Pikmin can walk through the fiery hell of underground passageways, while all the other critters will roast alive, screaming as their flowery heads are reduced to ashes.
		Pikmin 2 has taken the levels of the previous game and added more sections, obstacles, and enemies to hinder your progress.

	Pikmin 2 (cube: 2004): Reviews
		Pikmin 2 not only improves upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, but wraps strategy, action and puzzle elements into one highly addictive and enjoyable experience that it seems only Nintendo are capable of.
		Pikmin 2 will probably join a growing cast of quirky Gamecube titles, thinking specifically of fare like Donkey Konga, Luigi's Mansion and Super Monkey Ball, that have their ardent fans but don't quite do enough to appeal to the broad mainstream.
		The new pikmin, enemies, berries, cave sections and lead characters add a whole new side to the gameplay and the multiplayer is dead fun too.

	Pikmin 2 Review / Preview for the GameCube (GC)
		For a real-time strategy game, the Pikmin series has developed a control system that is easy to learn and operate while still maintaining a great level of depth.
		With the help of the Pikmin, the Captain and Louie must accumulate at least a hundred-thousand-dollars worth of treasure, most of which will be located in dangerous caves which is where lots of the game will take place.
		As in the first game there are yellow, red, and blue Pikmin, any of which can be used for some basic assignments but you will have to make sure that you save some of each color so they can perform their special tasks when the time comes - and it will.

		Instead of 100 Pikmin, Captain Olimar and his sidekick Louie are together able to command an army of 1,000 different-colored soldiers, a true force to be feared.
		In Pikmin Revolution, the laws of gravity are the basis for many of the environmental puzzles.
		Pikmin bounce off teeter-totters and send their comrades flying into the air; their combined weight sinks floating objects; they ride atop vehicles, which come to a sudden stop and send them soaring; and so on.

	Pikmin 2 English Version Hands-On - GameCube News at GameSpot
		Pikmin 2 is the next entry in the burgeoning line, and it aims to build on the promising foundation laid by the original game.
		Pikmin 2's premise puts you in the role of Captain Olimar--quite possibly one of the unluckiest space travelers in Nintendo's roster of characters since Samus Aran--who has very little time to savor the happy ending from the first game, which saw him cheat death (with the help of the Pikmin) and escape from their planet.
		Pikmin fans don't have long to wait, because the sequel will be out just next week.

		Pikmin is obviously a sequel to the most innovative game of the year for 2001.
		So while that system exists in Pikmin 2, in Pikmin 1 you would only have 30 game days to essentially collect all of the parts that were missing from your spaceship, which crash-landed on a planet, thereby forcing players to collect the parts within that time limit.
		I think with Pikmin 2 we're going to see a lot of people who didn't play Pikmin 1 who might pick up and play this game and thereby have their interest in the Pikmin series piqued and go back to Pikmin 1, and vice versa.
