Pikmin 4 is the fourth mainline game in Nintendo's beloved and idiosyncratic Pikmin series — a real-time strategy adventure in which a miniaturised player character commands squads of plant-like creatures called Pikmin across a vast planet seen from ground level. You play as a new recruit of the Rescue Corps who crash-lands on planet PNF-404 and must rescue Captain Olimar, the rest of the Corps, and other civilian castaways, while collecting treasures needed to repair your ship. Each Pikmin type has distinct strengths — Red are strong fighters, Blue can cross water, Yellow carry electricity, Ice can freeze enemies and liquids, Glow operate only at night — and switching between them strategically is the core of the game's puzzle-and-combat rhythm.

Key Features: • 9 Pikmin types — including new Ice Pikmin (freeze enemies/water) and Glow Pikmin (night mode) • Oatchi the Space Dog — companion that carries Pikmin, bashes obstacles, sniffs out treasure • Night Expeditions — wave-defence gameplay with Glow Pikmin in a dark environment • Dandori Battles — competitive collection mode vs AI or local 2-player
