Line 57:
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The different Pikmin species each have a different color.
** Dweevils in the second game are also color coded based on which [[Elemental Powers|elemental power they have.]]
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]
** To be fair, all playable characters are wearing space suits, and Red Pikmin can withstand fire.
** It should be noted that before upgrading the space suits, the captains still ''take damage'' from being hit directly with flames. Presumably it's not enough to burn through the suit, but the heat is still dangerous.
Line 144:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Purple Pikmin, oh so much.
* [[Misguided Missile]]: The rocks that the Decorated Cannon Beetle shoots are highly magnetic, causing them to home in on your captain. Run around to the other side of a beetle after it launches a rock. [[Hoist By His Own Petard|We'll wait]].
* [[Mix
** The Snagrets.
** The upcoming [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Rock Pikmin]] take this [[Up to Eleven]]. Plant, animal, ''and'' mineral?
* [[Monster Compendium]]: The Piklopedia. Comes with view of the enemy in its habitat, scientific notes/names, and eventually cooking recipes.
* [[More Predators Than Prey]]: Most enemies on the Pikmin planet seem to be carnivorous, and the ''only'' thing any of them ever seem to eat are, of course, Pikmin.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: In the first Pikmin, the bad ending involves attempting to {{spoiler|fly away without at least 25 ship parts}}, which results in {{spoiler|the Dolphin crashing, Olimar being knocked unconscious, his Pikmin carrying him to their Onion and turning ''him'' into a freakish Pikmin/Olimar hybrid (known as "Olimin" or "Pikmar" in [[Fanon]], and no evidence that he is ever picked}}. In the good ending (received through [[Hundred
* [[Never Say Die]]: In the second game: "Are your life functions fading?"
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: The Smoky Progg supposedly is the direct result of a Pikmin attack breaking a normally peaceful Mamuta's egg before it's time for it to hatch.
Line 173:
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: "ARRRG! It killed [[No Casualties Run|a measly one of my Pikmin]]! Now I have to reset and do it all over again!"
** Also, trying to collect all your ship parts in fewer days than you did before.
* [[Shout
** Also, in the second game, several items are shout outs to other games, like a tube of paint with Mario's name on it, R.O.B.'s head, the key from ''[[Super Mario World (Video Game)|Super Mario World]]'', and even a deck of Nintendo brand playing cards from before Nintendo started doing electronics.
** Many players noticed that the Poko symbol looks a lot like the coins from [[Super Mario Bros]].
** The [[Mario]] games later returned the favor in ''[[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door]]'', where Chapter 2 has Mario leading a swarm of tiny creatures around to aid him. Sound familiar?
** However, this is semi-justified by the fact of having 101 members in TTYD, when the max you can have in Pikmin is 100. Still, it's there.
* [[Slippy
* [[Stalked By the Bell]]: The [[That One Level|Submerged Castle]]. On each of the first four floors, you have a ''[[Paranoia Fuel|random, invisible]]'' timer that, when it runs out, the Waterwraith drops down and pursues you. Mercifully, you can exploit a weakness in its AI that prevents it from reaching you in certain corners, though it may get you if you're not careful.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Similar to how Anode Dweevils are [[Glass Cannon|Glass Cannons]], Munge Dweevils have the most health but the least dangerous attack (it's the only Dweevil that is always harmless to captains; the breathing filters in their space suits make them immune to poison, so they can be punched to death with no problems).
