Pikmin - Used
This is a preowned video game. It is guaranteed to work on your GameCube video game console and may not include a box or instruction manual.Everything's going fine for our intrepid spaceman until a rogue comet collides with his spaceship and forces him into an emergency landing on a lush world. Trapped in a jungle of vegetation, he quickly learns that his ship broke apart in the atmosphere and needs reassembling - not to mention the fact that his silver spacesuit is the only thing between him and a deadly poisonous atmosphere.

[This is mostly my gaming story with Pikmin, if you want to see my comments on the gameplay, sound, graphics and lasting appeal skip to the bottom] This game is amazing. One of the best by far. When I first saw this in stores back in 2001 I was just a little kid, but I wanted it. I begged my mother to buy it for me for 3 years. At the end of the 3rd year, for my birthday she surprised me with it! I was ecstatic! I began playing it immediately and was instantly hooked. I played it for days on end, and finally beat it 3 days after I unwrapped it. I wasn't disappointed that I was able to beat it so easily at all. In fact, after I beat it, I wanted to do it again! In 5 weeks I had beaten it 8 times, and I was still enjoying every second of it. I played Pikmin until Pikmin 2 came out, then I switched back and forth between the two until I beat the original Pikmin for the 63rd time, and yes I actually did count. As soon as I discovered that Pikmin 2 was co-op I got my dad hooked on it too. I was always player two because Louie was just so intriguing to me. Back on topic now, Pikmin has amazing gameplay, perfect for kids, casual gamers, and even hardcore gamers. Kids and casual gamers usually take about 24-30 (In-Game) days to complete it. While hardcore gamers challenge themselves to beat it in the minimum 9 days. (9 days is the fastest anyone has ever beaten the game.) The quickest my friends and I ever beat it was 11 days. The game has amazing graphics, not to this day and age, but back in 2001 those were pretty great. The music is amazing and sound effects of the creatures and Pikmin are even better! I suggest this game to everyone. If you haven't played this, go out buy yourself a copy and play it!

This game is very fun. You play as Olimar, an alien who has crashed on a distant planet (Very similar to Earth, though they don't mention the name of the planet) and has lost 30 of his ships parts. Soon after he's crashed, he realizes that he only has 30 days to which he will be able to survive due the (poisenous) oxygen. He then finds a plant-like object that he pulls out of the ground to find that its a being of some sort in which he names "Pikmin". He pulls more of these beings out and uses them to find his lost ship parts. At some points in the game, it will get hard to find a ships part before sunset but you should be able to get it right after a couple of tries. This is probley one of my favorite GameCube games, and in my opinion it is one of the most innovative and essential games of the 6th generation (1998-2005 or 128bit era) The gameplay is very fun. The controlls can get confusing at times but not to bad and overall easy and fun. I think it took me about 7 to 10 hours to beat all together. The graphics and landscapes are amazing. This would probley be my second favorite game on the GC, as far as graphics, behind Super Mario Sunshine. I have never played Pikmin 2 but I want to, I am waiting for the price to go down on the sequel ($35 is a little much for me). Anyway this game is very fun and innovative. I highly suggest getting it if you are looking for a good GameCube game or just a good game in general. Pick it up.

Pikmin, Pikmin... My first exposure to anything related to it was playing Super Smash bros. Brawl at a friend's house, and trying to play as Olimar, and not exactly being successful. Then, I got this game in February this year, and instantly fell in love with it. It has everything that one could ask for; Great Visuals, Textures, etc., A good story, An interesting concept, and best of all, a new and original franchise.
You start off with a small cutscene opening, where Captain Olimar is piloting his ship, the Dolphin[that's a small pun,] when he is hit by an asteroid of sorts. He then crash-lands on a strange planet, a little bit similar to our Earth, in appearance.
I don't wish to spoil anymore, but I will say, you can easily find this on the GameCube shelf at almost any GameStop for only $9.99, less if you have your PowerUp card. :D
I will say, although it can be a little short, the Challenge Mode, in which you go and try to raise as many Pikmin as possible in one "Day", is an excellent side-game.
That is all.

This game is Great. It has great graphics for a game cube game. It was good challenge for me because i had to play it over and over again to get it perfect. if you don't have a lot of patience though I would not recommend this if you don't because you will lose a controller. :]

I think the story is actually very emotional. A stranded captain who is almost bound to die on a distant planet finds a sliver of hope when he meets these little creatures he names "Pikmin." (hence the title) You have to command the Pikmin to help you rebuild your ship within 30 days so you can return home and escape the deadly planet. As the Pikmin help him rebuild his ship he starts to form bonds with them, and I personally formed them too. I felt genuinely sad when a Pikmin dies in combat. While I won't spoil things, I will tell you there are 3 endings, A good,(rebuild your ship in its entirety) a bad, ( don't collect the essential parts for your ship) and a sort of happy ending (collect the essentials but don't get all of the parts) If you've ever heard it, the song Ai No Uta by Stawberry Flower (a couple of Japanese singers) was made to advertise this song in Japan, and if you listen to it and actually know what it means, it really adds to the emotion. Listening to that song and looking up the english lyrics made me feel sorry for the little creatures I commanded around. Its an amazing game and you need it. Buy a gamecube/wii if only just for this game.

this is ok, but the combat is slow, and it's hard to repair your ship in the 30 days you have in this game, and some parts are hard to get due to the slow combat. the first game is not the best, but the sequel is a huge improvement.

I really enjoyed this game. it was my fourth video game ever. In the game you have to control a group of little workers that each have their own special powers Blue = breath under water, Red = survive flames. yellow = pick up bombs and survive electricity and can be thrown higher. You have to collect all the pieces of a broken spaceship before time runs out or else you have to restart the game. It is fun to explore the many terains and meet cool looking enemies. The two problems with this game are the poor graphics and the time limit is too short for the number of parts you have to collect. BUY THIS GAME if you love commandoing battalions and it is worth the money.

This game was the bees knees! This was cool because. It has the creatures Captain Olimar controls, Pikmin. When you gointo Story Mode you can unlock 5 stages. In this game Captain Olimar crashes into a poisonous planet and then notices that he has 30 days to survive on the planet and recoer the 30 parts he's lost during the crash with his pikmin. Here are some tips too to help you with the game. Red Pikmin- Can survive Fire Yellow Pikmin- Jump very high Blue Pikmin-Can survive Water
