* LighterAndSofter: The mainline Pikmin games present a dangerous environment where Pikmin are constantly at risk of being eaten or killed, and the protagonists are stranded in this harsh environment they know nothing about, often with only a limited amount of time to find what they need in order to survive. ''Bloom'' on the other hand, has you play as a Mii who has no trouble leisurely exploring this world, and none of the predatory wildlife that threatens your Pikmin makes any appearance. The most combat these Pikmin will be seeing is against large, but inanimate mushrooms.

In it, you grow Pikmin by walking around with their seedlings, and send them out on various tasks throughout the world, such as doing expeditions and delivering postcards to friends.
----
* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Non-Blue Pikmin have no problem traveling across water across long distances without drowning in this game, unlike what other games established. In fact, they walk on it.
* AchievementSystem: The game has a few badges that are earned from certain milestone tasks such as walking distance, Pikmin grown, and total flowers bloomed.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: The reward for leveling up a Pikmin to four hearts is them obtaining a themed accessory, which varies depending on the real-world area from where they were found.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: While Pikmin on Expeditions to faraway locations take a long time, sending postcards to friends takes considerably less time since you're often sending them to someone who lives in a different country. Prior to an update in 2022, Pikmin would hilariously take mere minutes to deliver a postcard even if the recipient is in a different country, but this was changed to take 12 hours max.
* AntiPoopSocking: It takes 5 minutes to plant more flowers in the same place on the map, so it is encouraged to keep moving for the counter to keep going up, otherwise it's just a waste of petals.
* AugmentedReality: The game has a feature where players can view Pikmin in the real world through their phone's camera.
* BizarreBeverageUse: Blue Burger Shop Pikmin wear soda cups for outfits, with the liquid still inside.
* CallBack:
** The pot design of the seedlings heavily resemble the original Onion design from the main games until their sci-fi redesign in ''Pikmin 3''.
** The coffee cups worn by Café Decor Pikmin have designs based on enemies from the series. [[note]]Red Bulborb for yellow, Pyroclasmic Slooch for blue, Yellow Wollywog for white, Fiery/Watery Blowhog for purple, Whiptongue Bulborb for rock, and Puffy Blowhog for winged. Averted for red, which just seems to be a normal café coffee cup.[[/note]]
* {{Cap}}: The player level limit is 100, and they can store 30 seedlings (can be upgraded to 100), 300 Pikmin (can be upgraded to 2,000), 300 petals (upgraded to 1,200), 200 nectar (upgraded to 1,000), and 100 postcards (also to 2,000).
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The color of the Pikmin is determined by what color seedling is found and obtained.
* ComMons: Roadside Pikmin are by far the most common decor types most players will find, being found by anywhere else that the game doesn't recognize as one of the other establishments, so usually streets and rural areas.
* CompanyCrossReferences: Linking a Nintendo account will give the player a blue decor Pikmin wearing a [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosMarioBrothers Mario hat keychain]]. Interacting with them on close-up will have them do a unique Mario jump animation.
* DemoBonus: Playing the demon version of ''Pikmin 4'' rewards players with the Oatchi-Rider costume.
* DigitalAvatar: The player is represented using a UsefulNotes/{{Mii}}.
* EasterEgg: If you have a full set of white and black chess piece Pikmin in your squad, the chess Pikmin will occasionally line up on opposite sides like a chessboard.
* EdibleThemeClothing: Some Decor Pikmin wear scraps of food as accessories:
** Pikmin found by supermarkets wear either mushroom caps or banana pieces.
** Ones found by bakeries wear pieces of bread.
** Sweetshop Pikmin wear colored macarons as hats or donuts as costumes.
** Movie Theater Pikmin have Popcorn stuck to their heads.
** Hamburger Shop Pikmin wear burgers or fries. (Blue Pikmin wear soft drink cups.)
** Café Decor Pikmin wear cups of coffee filled with coffee beans for outfits. The yellow and rock Pikmin even have whip cream on top of their heads.
** Sushi Restaurant Pikmin (unsurprisingly) wear various sushi costumes.
** Italian Restaurant Pikmin wear pizza slices.
* EndlessDaytime: It's always day on ''Pikmin Bloom'''s map.
* {{Exergaming}}: ''Pikmin Bloom'' encourages players to decorate the in-game map with flowers by walking in the real world. Pikmin themselves are also grown by the number of steps taken.
* EyeObscuringHat:
** The red and blue Park Decor Pikmin have parts of the vines they wear cover their right eyes.
** The banana peel for the Super Market rock Pikmin covers its left eye.
** The "Station" white Pikmin wears a paper train costume that covers their [[ExaggeratedTrope whole body]], except for their stem.
* FashionableAsymmetry: A few of the decor cosmetics aren't symmetrical, such as the Park Decor Pikmin.
* FertileFeet: When blooming, flowers spawn around the player's feet as they walk, leaving a trail wherever they go.
* FillItWithFlowers: One of the main focuses of the game is to populate the (at first) barren in-app map with trails of flowers by walking in the real world. The flowers disappear after a week, encouraging players to keep going out.
* FungusHumongous: Some landmarks are represented by clusters of massive mushrooms that the player must send their Pikmin to destroy for rewards.
* GameBreakingBug: The game can be really bad at recognizing certain establishments; maybe you can be right in the middle of a supermarket and only luck will decide if Pikmin Bloom registers it as that or as a roadside.
* GardenGarment: Park Decor Pikmin wear vines as a cosmetic.
* HighlySpecificCounterplay: Mushrooms that are on fire, covered in water, or encased in crystal can only respectively be destroyed by red, blue, and gray Pikmin. Any other time, matching the Pikmin to the mushroom's color just provides an attack bonus.
* ImprovisedClothes: Some of the "accessories" for the decor Pikmin include wearing things like acorns, popcorn, and toothpaste on their heads.
* MushroomMan: Park Decor Pikmin get different mushroom caps as hats, making them look like this.
* LuckBasedMission: Getting a Big Flower to spawn as a pansy or a rose[[note]]by using mostly pansy petals to bloom it[[/note]] is possible, but it mostly depends on luck.
* NoAntagonist: So far, there are no enemies for the Pikmin to fight or defend themselves against, with the only "battles" available being against inanimate mushrooms.
* NoPlotNoProblem: The game itself doesn't have a real story, but as a fitness app where the purpose is to go out to bring some color into a blank and grassy world, it doesn't really need one.
* OldSaveBonus:
** During the 2022 ''Pikmin 3'' Anniversary event, players could obtain an Onion-themed Planter Pack via the "My Nintendo" service provided that their linked account had play data from ''Pikmin 3'' [[DemoBonus or the free demo version]].
** Any linked account for a completion of ''Pikmin 4's'' demo (or having the game itself) provides a costume of the Rookie riding on Oatchi.
* PhotoMode: The AR mode lets you see Pikmin in the real world with your phone.
* PlayEveryDay: Players get one free Detector and a chance to earn up to 30 coins every day.
* RelationshipValues: Leveling up Pikmin hearts makes their attacks for expeditions stronger, leveling them to four hearts makes them go on an expedition to obtain a cosmetic.
* SomethingAboutARose: Pikmin can be fed rose nectars to replace their normal flower with a colored rose, which is not only difficult to obtain but is the strongest of the main flower types.
* SticksToTheBack: Some Decor apparel, such as the fishing lures for the "Waterside" Pikmin, or combs/scissors for "Hair Salon", just cling to the backs of the Pikmin.
* ToweringFlower: Some landmarks are represented by giant flowers many times the player figure's height, starting with generic daisy-like flowers to real-world flower types.
* UndergroundMonkey:
** Some Decor Pikmin, such as Sweetshop and Supermarket, have more than one variant. Present Stickers and Chef Hats also have a rare variant.
** Red, blue, and gray normal or large mushrooms have a chance to be covered in fire, water, or crystal, respectively.
* UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay:
** Pikmin travel at real-world time, so if the player found a Pikmin when they were traveling several miles away, and they're ready to get their 4-heart cosmetic, it could take days or even ''weeks'' for that one Pikmin to travel back and return.
** Winged Pikmin are noted to be faster than the other types, but if they're paired with at least 1 non-Winged Pikmin on an Expedition, the ETA increases since they have to move at the same speed as the slower walking Pikmin.
* VisualPun: Decor Pikmin found near zoos wear dandelions around their heads that look vaguely like manes. [[PunBasedCreature Because lions.]]
* WalkOnWater: No bodies of water, including the oceans, will stop the Pikmin from carrying their fruit and pods back to the player. [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality It's best not to think too seriously about this one.]]
* WholeCostumeReference:
** The Mario Hat Decor Pikmin wears Mario's red cap.
** The three Koppaite Space Suit Pikmin wear the helmets of ''Pikmin 3's'' protagonists.
** The Oatchi-Rider Mii costume tied to ''Pikmin 4's'' demo gives the player the Rookie's space suit while sitting on Oatchi.
** Spaceship Decor Pikmin wear The S.S. Shepherd's pod from ''Pikmin 4''. Purple and Rock Pikmin wear a replica of the ship itself.
* YourSizeMayVary: Pikmin in the main games are about an inch tall. They're slightly bigger when feeding them nectar and in AR mode, yet their stems reach to the player's torso when following them in the overworld.
