• 30 Frustrating Parts

It's hard to gather all 30 parts for Olimar's ship, so it's best to gather the parts that are most important. He specifically says he doesn't need all 30 parts. Read the description for it before you have your Pikmin take it back to base.

• A Bunch of Flower Pikmin

Have any Pikmin bring something back to the onion and when they return pikmin seeds come out. Go somewhere (anywhere) and then come back (before nightfall) and check the seeds. They will be buds or flowers! I got a bunch of flower pikmin!

• Aternate Ending

The ending you get depends on how many parts you get:

Bad: if you fail to collect the 25 REQUIRED parts of Olimar's ship, he will be stranded forever and become a pikmin.
Normal: If you get the REQUIRED parts of Olimar's ship, he will leave the planet for home.
Great: After you collect the secret safe Olimar will return the planet happy that his ship was repared %100 and there is a little surprise at the end. | [Sent by DirtySanchez]

• Captain Olimar can Fight

If you are tired of losing pikmin to those little creatures,(smaller ladybug lookin things, those large tadpoles with the hugh mouths, and those little grubs that break down bridges and fly), just walk around with Captain Olimar and when you come to one, just press the A button repeatedly (while moving around so not to get hit), this results in a dead bug and no dead pikmin.

• Challenge Option Modus

Save the game at any point to unlock a "Challenge Mode" option at the main menu. Select that option to replay previously completed sections in a time attack type scenario. The objective is to collect as many Pikmin as possible before nightfall.

• Defeat Armoured Cannon Beetles

When the beetle pauses to suck air through a hole above its mouth, throw a Pikmin into a the stream of air. It will get stuck blocking the hole and stopping the beetle from breathing. The beetle will then sneeze out the Pikmin exposing it vulnerable orange body, which should be violently attacked. | [Sent by CenturionZ_1]

• Defeat Bulbax

Take 20 Yellow and 80 Red Pikmin on a new day to fight him. Get bomb rocks for all your Yellow Pikmin from the back and then put all you Pikmin outsdie the Arena. Wake him up. Now leave a Yellow bomb rock Pikmin for him to eat. Wait for the bomb to blow up in his stomach and swarm him. When he shakes them off, call them back and repeat. | [Sent by CenturionZ_1]

• Defeat Fiery Blowhog

Use red Pikmin, let him turn to you, with his bag to the water. throw or swarm Blowhog to beat him. | [Sent by DennisDreessen]

• Defeat Goolix

Goolix will appear in The Impact Site in the 1/5 chance. when he appears, Take 50 Blue Pikmin or less and Aim for that strange round object inside the goolix that shows a yellow-Green-Black colour, control your Pikmin with the C-Stick to that ball, press Y to release your pikmin, and wait till the end, goolix will die.

Note: Don't Use any other colour Pikmin, cause goolix has a body of water! And make sure you know that Red and Yellow pikmin hate that element. | [Sent by DennisDreessen]

• Defeat Smoky Progg

Visit the Distant Spring before day 15 and find an egg in the huge lake. Smash it and run back to base. The Smoky Progg will now chase you. Any Pikmin (even planted) that touches the slime it leaves will die do use Red Pikmin and swarm his face. If you kill it he will leave a nut that will make 100 Pikmin. | [Sent by CenturionZ_1]

• Defeating Frogs

Get a large group of Pikmin (preferably Red). Go up to the frog and dodge his first attack. Then, swarm him with your Pikmin. He will not be able to get off the ground, causing a near instant kill. This works with all frogs, but requires more with the Distant Spring frogs.

• Easy way to kill a Bulborb

When you see a bulborb don't just attack it from the front. Get all of your pikmin, then sneak behind it and use the C stick. When they start to attack it will only be around 2 seconds before it dies.

• Fireworks

Just press down on the d-pad and wait for four Pikmin to carry you to their onion. You will not get sucked in to the onion, but you will get close. | [Sent by Steve]

• Free Flower Pikmin using Mamuta

When you return to the impact site on even-numbered days after and including Day 8, you will encounter this rock-like enemy in the circular arena. When he performs his pummel attack, he will knock your Pikmin into ground but instantly turns them into flower Pikmin. Once the creature is defeated, you can pick all your out of the ground and have an army of Flower Pikmin. | [Sent by CenturionZ_1]

• Get 150 Pikmin!

In The Impact Site there are 3 clamppearls, one clampearl has a Ship part, but make sure you recovered that part already. the clamppearls will have a pearl each. get the pearls out of all the clamppearls, each pearl will make 50 pikmin. carry the 3 pearls to the onion to make 150 Pikmins!

NOTE: You can hold 100 Pikmin at maximum: make sure you put the rest of the pikmin in the onion to save space for the each 50 that will come out the pearl. you only need 3 pikmin to carry a pearl. Don't carry the pearls in a row. Sprout each 50 Pikmin and next send them into the onion next carry the other pearl. repeat this method to get 150 Pikmin and a high population result as well. | [Sent by DennisDreessen]
