Unlike normal games in the ''Pikmin'' franchise, ''Pikmin Adventure'' is a fast-paced, action packed experience, as opposed to the real time strategy-styled puzzle solving nature of the other ones. The goal is to complete each level, which merely involves going from the start to the finish. ''Pikmin Adventure'' also includes a multiplayer co-op and a multiplayer versus mode.

==Overview==
''Pikmin Adventure'' is played with one to five players. One player controls their Mii dressed in [[Olimar]]'s [[spacesuit]], and uses the Wii U GamePad, while up to four others use the Wii Remote to play as Miis dressed as assorted, larger [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. There will always be one Olimar player and one Pikmin player, even if an AI player has to take the place of a human one.

After completing the normal expeditions, advanced missions are unlocked, with an increased difficulty level. These missions also give the Olimar player a new gameplay mechanic: by pressing {{button|wiiu|L|wiiu|R}} or a button on the GamePad's screen, all Pikmin in the captain's party are changed to [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], or the usual mixed group. These colors now make a difference due to the fact that enemy weak points in these missions are color-coded, and only Pikmin of the same color can harm them. In addition, Blue Pikmin are still immune to navigating through water. Mastery rankings also exist for all levels in the attraction; to obtain them, players must complete the stage within a certain time limit, and not take any damage.

Some of the common creatures in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] appear, such as [[Red Bulborb]]s, but there are also enemies never seen before in the actual series. The most common is a race of spherical insects, called "Beebs". Cannons are also featured; they either fire bombs or spiked balls. [[Blowhog]]s appear, but blow out air and charge.

*'''Telescoping Pumphog''': a type of Blowhog that is anchored to the ground. It mainly acts as a cannon that fires bombs or spiked balls. White Pumphogs lack weak points and are invincible. This enemy is typically stationary, but a rare variant can burrow through the ground as means of travel.

One player will play as Olimar on the GamePad. They can move their character with
{{
button

wiiu|LStick|wiiu|RStick}}, use the touch screen to throw
Pikmin
by tapping on the target, and use {{button|wiiu|ZL|wiiu|ZR
}}
as the whistle. In the extra levels, {{button|wiiu|L|wiiu|R}} is used to change the type of Pikmin between blue, yellow, red, and mixed. Buttons for these last two functions also exist on the GamePad's screen. By quickly flicking the stylus from the captain's position to a direction, the Olimar player will perform a dodging somersault in that same direction. In addition, the player can also tap a bomb or rock while near it to pick it up, and hold a press on a location on the GamePad to make the leader walk in that direction.

==Power-ups

==
There are three different '''power-ups''' that can be found throughout the game. These help do more damage to enemies and blocks, and change the way Pikmin are tossed and/or attack with. These power-ups also act as a shield, by preventing the character from taking damage, but being lost in the process.

'''Hammer Seeds''' are the first power-up one can find in the attraction. When collected, Pikmin will grow sledge hammer heads on their stems. When the Olimar player throws Hammer Seed Pikmin, they will drop down on enemies much like [[Purple Pikmin]] do in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They also have a chance to stun the enemies. Pikmin players with this power-up have increased damage, as well as the ability to stun randomly, and when {{button|wii|1}} is held down and released, will charge forward, consecutively swinging their hammer down on enemies.

'''Whip Seeds''' are the second power-up found in the game. Whip seeds will grow springs on the Pikmin's stems, which can be extended to attack in a longer range and do more damage. If the Olimar player gets the Whip Seed, their Pikmin home in on the targeted area like fireworks when thrown. They can also be thrown farther than normal and follow moving enemies, similar to the [[Winged Pikmin]]. When a Pikmin player gets the Whip Seed, their attack range is increased enormously, and can attack from farther away to avoid taking damage.

'''Knuckle Seeds''' are the last of the power-ups in the game. Knuckle Seeds turn the Pikmin's stems into fists, and make the player stand in a fighting stance when standing still. The Knuckle Seed makes Olimar's Pikmin act like bullets when thrown, and do great great impact damage, much like [[Rock Pikmin]] from ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. When the Pikmin players get this power-up, they do massive damage with combos, and when {{button|wii|1}} is held and released, Pikmin will perform a [[wikipedia:Street Fighter#Hadouken|Haudoken]]-like attack.
