{{w|Prima Games}} is the largest strategy guide publisher in the United States. They have made a number of
''Pikmin''
-related guides, with in-depth walkthroughs. On top
of
that, they also commonly include extra information about subjects in
the series
that isn't given anywhere else, like the scientific names of enemies in ''Pikmin''. Since it is impossible to know if this extra information is endorsed
by Nintendo
, or made up by Prima Games writers in order to richen the guide, it is left as [[Canon#Objectionable canon|ambiguously canon]]
.
