Pikmin III, pronounced Pikmin 3, or sometimes Pikmin Trēs or Pikmin Tertius, is a fanmade sequel to Pikmin 2 inspired by classic 2008-2010-era Pikmin Fanon games and childhood Pikmin game ideas, from a time where nearly all Pikmin fangames were some form of "Pikmin 3 fan version". This game prominently features enemies and features from the first two Pikmin games, with most of the content from these games returning. It also has a few concepts from more recent Pikmin titles, namely Pikmin 3, Pikmin 4, and Hey! Pikmin, but there are few such concepts present due to the nature of the game as an alternate Pikmin 2 sequel.
Trailer
Fittingly for the game, the trailer video for Pikmin III is inspired by 2009-era YouTube videos made using Windows Movie Maker.
Plot
Pikmin III follows the adventures of a new Hocotatian leader, Todd, as he ventures to PNF-404, known in Pikmin III as the "Green Planet", in search of a miracle cure made from the incredible wildlife of the strange planet, which he hopes to use to cure Pecha, his mother, who became terribly sick with a mysterious space illness soon after purchasing a treasure from Hocotate Freight after the events of Pikmin 2.
However, as Todd approaches the planet, a strange creature attacks his ship, causing him to make a crash landing.
Gameplay
The game is similar to Pikmin 2. It contains many new treasures and enemies.
Content
Characters
Pikmin
Many Pikmin types appear in Pikmin III, including both returning Pikmin from Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 and brand-new Pikmin types. The full Pikmin list has not been revealed yet, but it has been confirmed that a new Green Pikmin type with sharp claws will make an appearance and have their own Onion.
Enemies
- Main article: Pikmin III/Piklopedia
Enemies from the first 2 Pikmin games return in Pikmin III, and there are many new creatures as well.
Controls
Pikmin III's controls are virtually identical to those of the New Play Control! Pikmin releases, making use of both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. As Pikmin III is a game for the Wii, it also is compatible with the GameCube controller, which handles the same way as in Pikmin 2.
Credits
Pikmin III is made by A Friendly Amprat, but has inspiration from many fanon Pikmin games by other users in it. Besides being directly designed as a sequel to Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 and heavily featuring and re-imagining concepts from those games, this game is also inspired by a variety of fanon Pikmin games. These games are not canon to the Pikmin III timeline and are only used as sources of inspiration, but creatures and other concepts from these games may appear.
