About[]

Pikmin World (ピクミン世界 in Japan) is the sequel to Pikmin 3. It features the return of White Pikmin and Purple Pikmin, and Rocks and Wingeds are in Multiplayer. It introduces Metal Pikmin, and Orange Pikmin into the series.

E3 2016[]

At E3 2016, the game was announced for the Wii U and for the New 3DS. It featured a new pikmin type, and several new worlds. It included three players to play as which are Olimar, Louie and Alph. During the video, dweevils were seen. This probably means that the Titan Dweevil may return, or some kind of giant dweevil. The Piklopedia was seen too, including new enemies and treasure.

Plot

When the Koppiates found the Cosmic Drive Key, they set off back to Koppite with the fruit. As soon as Alph, Brittany and Charlie entered their house, they got a call from Captain Olimar. He said that he crashlanded, AGAIN. But this time when the rocket was hit by the meteor and sent hurtling towards PNF-404, Olimar's rocket had malfunctioned and exploded. Olimar had his fire suit from his last few adventures, and was fine when he landed. Louie was also in the ship. So Alph, Brittany and Charlie said that they will set off to PNF-404 in a few days. Brittany and Charlie wanted to stay at Koppai. So Alph was the only one who went.

	White Pikmin are immune to poisonous, and they're poisonous themselves! They are the fastest pikmin in the game!	Cave of Mystery

Name	Carry Weight	Olimar's Notes	Real-Life Item	Pokos Worth
Rusty Statue	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"This statue looks quite dirty, yet sculptured very well. The artist put a lot of detail in it."	Shovel Knight Amiibo	150 Pokos
Elegant Statue	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"This statue is shining with elegance. It's made of pure gold! But who could be that being on the statue?"	Gold Mario Amiibo	1000 Pokos
Delicious Loaf	Requires 5 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"I've seen many of these before in one of my previous journeys. It's quite big, so it could take a while to eat. Would eating it be safe?"	Donut	110 Pokos
Lustrous Element	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"This thin, but big golden object, is sure to help us get home. Due to its shine and glimmer, we could also get rich!"	Coin	1000 Pokos
Mirrored Element	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	TBA	Coin	300 Pokos

Name	Carry Weight	Olimar's Notes	Louie's Notes
Red Bulborb	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"I've encountered bulborbs many times now, and they never seem to give up on eating pikmin."	"Looking for a nice dinner? Look no further with this Red Bulborb! He's the perfect meal!"
Whiptongue Bulborb	Requires 12 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"Whiptongue Bulborbs seem to be another kind of bulborb. They use their gigantic tongues to slurp up pikmin."	"Whiptongue Bulborbs are the perfect choice for lunch! If you've ever tried red bulborbs, try these for a change and you'll realise the tastiness!"
Orange Bulborb	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"Orange Bulborbs are just like normal bulborbs. But they can eat pikmin from further away, and they wake up if they hear a single step near them."	TBA
Male Shearwig	Requires 1 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"These pesky beasts have wings, unlike female ones. I should take them down before building bridges as well."	"Shearwigs are a great choice for dessert. Pour cream and chocolate and them, and dessert is served!"
Water Dumple	Requires 5 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"Water dumples are slimy creatures that spend some of their time in water. They go a bit slow, which gives me a chance to throw pikmin on it. After that I can go back to work collecting treasures."	"Fry water dumples for a delicious dinner. For an even better taste, sprinkle with salt and enjoy!"
Swooping Snitchbug	Requires 3 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"Swooping Snitchbugs have no wings, but they can fly. This is because of their antennae. But they can still cause trouble by throwing my pikmin away from me!"	"Remove the wings, and roast for several hours. In moments you will taste the taste of perfection!"
Sensitive Squiworm	Requires 10 pikmin to carry. (1 if Purple)	"These creatures are normally passive, but they get easily angry if I throw pikmin at them. They don't look familiar to me, so they must be some new species..."	"This creature is sadly inedible... That's all I can say."

There is a few items in the game, such as Ultra Spicy Spray, and Ultra Bitter Spray.

Name	Use	Source
Ultra Spicy Spray	Makes pikmin more powerful and faster. Automically levels pikmin up to flower level.	Ultra Spicy Nectar, Red Spectralid
Ultra Bitter Spray	When used near an enemy, it turns them to stone.	Ultra Spicy Nectar, Purple Spectralid
Super Speedy Spray	Can be used to make the whole squad faster.	Super Speedy Nectar, Blue Spectralid
Super Poisonous Spray	Use it infront of an enemy to poison them. The spray does not instant kill, but does a lot of damage. It may be a bit overpowered, but it is very rare.	Super Poisonous Nectar, Sometimes drops from Doodlebugs
Nectar	Give it to pikmin, and they will level up.	Eggs, Yellow Spectralid, Honey Squiworm
