They're found in only two areas, where they pelt the foreground with a constant barrage of fiery missiles that Olimar must avoid while also dealing with terrain obstacles and regular enemies.

* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: Olimar ends up crashing on a different planet from PNF-404, which somehow has the exact same species of Pikmin on it. Along with Bulborbs and Blowhogs… and human treasures.

* MetalSlime: Seedbaggers are gelatinous creatures that store large caches of Sparklium seeds in their bodies. They're a very rare encounter -- only one spawns in one area of the Echo Cavern level -- and, while they are entirely passive, they have high health and will attempt to flee by burying themselves in the ground once they're attacked.


Added DiffLines:

* RollingAttack: Shearblugs attack by curling into spiky balls and rolling towards your Pikmin.

* PoesLaw: When the game was revealed, a person decided to make a satirical [[https://www.change.org/p/all-pikmin-fans-around-the-globe-petition-for-nintendo-to-cancel-pikmin-3ds change.org]] petition about trying to get the game canceled, in response to legitimate petitions on the site over more hot topic games at the time. Despite the writer going out of his way to take potshots at how pathetic these kinds of petitions are and the people who make them, and while a major part of the fanbase instantly managed to peg it as a satire, ''unfortunately'', there were still a few out there who thought the petition was legitimate, either raging over how stupid it was or legitimately signing it.

[[redirect:VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}]]''Hey! Pikmin'' is a spin-off of the ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} series for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, released in July 2017.

Olimar is in his new ship, the ''S.S. Dolphin II'', when he once again crash lands on an isolated planet. While this planet is completely different than the one from previous games, it somehow also has Pikmin on it. Rather used to this by now, Olimar must use the various Pikmin colors to collect treasure in order to refuel his ship and blast off.

The game adapts the Pikmin-controlling gameplay into a [=2D=] action platforming adventure. Olimar must use whatever Pikmin are in each level to traverse the terrian and collect Sparklium, the main collectable that is meant to fuel his ship but is mostly used for upgrading his equipment.

''Hey! Pikmin'' is compatible with Toys/{{Amiibo}}, with its own specific amiibo featuring the titled plant creatures releasing the same day as the game.
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* ActionizedSequel: ''Hey! Pikmin'' puts much greater focus on battling enemies over collecting treasures than the main series games do.
* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: Olimar ends up crashing on a different planet from PNF-404, which somehow has the exact same species of Pikmin on it. Along with Bulborbs and Blowhogs… and human treasures.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: ''Hey! Pikmin''[='=]s amiibo functionality is ''very'' picky. For example, you must use the Super Mario series Mario to get the Mario statue as well as Isabelle's winter and summer outfits and the Inklings' PaletteSwaps counting as separate items to be claimed. To counter this problem, the Pikmin amiibo (which has its own statue) can unlock five other amiibo challenges per day, meaning that you don't need every last amiibo the game recognizes to complete the amiibo archives.
* BubblegloopSwamp: The Lushlife Murk is a stretch of swampland filled with [[GrimyWater purple, highly toxic water that will kill Olimar on contact]], and which must be navigated by platforming off of floating bottles and dragonfly-like insects.
* ForestOfPerpetualAutumn: Leafswirl Lagoon takes place in an autumnal forest, with a background dominated by yellow and orange leaves and the occasional pumpkin.
* GreenHillZone: The first playable area, the Brilliant Garden, is a flowery meadow home to only simple obstacles and enemies.
* GrimyWater: Several areas of the Lushlife Murk and the Final Stretch are covered by pools of bright purple liquid, which will instantly kill Olimar or the Pikmin should they fall into them.
* HeartsAreHealth: Olimar must collect heart-shaped cherries to restore his health.
* HumanSnowball: A number of Pikmin are caught in a rolling snowball during a brief cutscene in one of the Snowfall Field levels.
* LevelsTakeFlight: In "Scourge of the Skies ", the ground is mostly covered by GrimyWater that will kill Olimar on contact, and the area must therefore be navigated by hopping across the backs of the passive, dragonfly-like Centipares and the occasional raised piece of rock. As a result, the enemies here are all airborne.
* OminousLatinChanting: Heard during the three phases from the fight against the FinalBoss. It's most noticeable during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UqVC4CPnuE third phase]].
* PoesLaw: When the game was revealed, a person decided to make a satirical [[https://www.change.org/p/all-pikmin-fans-around-the-globe-petition-for-nintendo-to-cancel-pikmin-3ds change.org]] petition about trying to get the game canceled, in response to legitimate petitions on the site over more hot topic games at the time. Despite the writer going out of his way to take potshots at how pathetic these kinds of petitions are and the people who make them, and while a major part of the fanbase instantly managed to peg it as a satire, ''unfortunately'', there were still a few out there who thought the petition was legitimate, either raging over how stupid it was or legitimately signing it.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Snowfall Field is an icy area that features frozen slopes that Olimar slides uncontrollably on and breakable icicles as obstacles. The second section, "Beneath the Ice", where Olimar explores beneath a frozen lake, overlaps with UnderTheSea. The third section, "Over Wintry Mountains", consists of a nonstop downhill plunge on a sled improvised out of a bottlecap. The area's boss, the Luring Slurker, fights by using ice as both projectiles and shields.
* SnowySleighBells: An easy to miss example occurs in the third level of Snowfall Field from ''Hey! Pikmin'': sleigh bells ring each time the Pikmins break one layer of the gian snowball that tumble down the wintry mountains.
* TechnicolorToxin: The poison that serves as the game's GrimyWater and more rarely appears as geysers is a bright, vivid purple. When finding its amiibo statue, Olimar confuses a purple [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Inkling's]] ink for poison due to this trope, suggesting that he should play with water instead. He's [[RightForTheWrongReasons somewhat right about the ink]] (it is toxic... to everyone ''except'' that Inkling and his teammates, and other colors of ink would be just as toxic to him), but replacing it with water would be [[SuperDrowningSkills much worse]].
* UndergroundLevel: The Sparkling Labyrinth mostly takes place in a tunnel system filled with sparkling stones. Puzzles mostly involve destroying dirt, stone and crystals that bar you progress, and enemies include creatures covered in crystal shells.
