Items
You can port weapons and powers from Pikmin 360 over, and get new weapons as DLC. Otherwise, you only have your bare hands to fight with, although there are some combos that are quite effective.

Story Mode
There is a story mode in the game, which is very short and ties together Pikmin 360 and Pikmin: Distant Planet. The two main characters, who are unnamed grey and red pikmin, are rivals. They cause a dispute in the alliance, displeasing the other pikmin. There are 2 factions you can choose from; Red or Grey. The Grey story is canon, ending in the reds breaking the alliance. This explains why they are not seen in Pikmin: Distant Planet.

Strategy Guide
The 2 player arena mode does not have it's own strategy guide, and instead has a section in the Pikmin 360 Strategy Guide. It comes with 2 maps, one of the story mode path. It also reveals that Polk and Pikamin were having a meeting with the Pikiqueen, who is still infected.
