'''Pikmin''' are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' series. These beings inhabit the planet [[pikipedia:PNF-404|PNF-404]], and spend time buried in the ground, with their leaves sticking out. In the series, they are plucked out the ground by the player to use in battles and such. They have made crossover cameos in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games a few times and in the ''Super Mario''-themed [[Super Nintendo World]]. In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', they aid [[Captain Olimar]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
The following Pikmin appear in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]:
[[File:BrawlOlimar.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork of Pikmin with Olimar for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Pikmin serve [[Captain Olimar]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Although they are technically not playable, Olimar is almost completely helpless without them, for they are featured in all of Olimar's special moves, smash attacks, aerial attacks (except for his neutral aerial), and grabs. As such, they must be [[Captain Olimar#Pikmin Pluck|plucked]] from the ground. When [[Kirby]] gains Olimar's ability, he can also use Pikmin, but after plucking them, he immediately throws them.
 
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
A group of Pikmin start to attack a [[smashwiki:R.O.B._Squad#Giant_R.O.B.|giant R.O.B.]] which simply rises its arms and spins around knocking them all off and kills most of them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his [[pikipedia:Red Pikmin|Red Pikmin]] informs him of a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car, and [[Falcon Punch]]es the giant R.O.B., sending it flying away. Landing after his attack, Captain Falcon accidentally kills many of the Pikmin, but teams up with Olimar, regardless; and the pair run along some old ruins fighting the [[Subspace Army]]. They notice an [[Arwing]] attacking the ship carrying [[Donkey Kong]]: [[Falco Lombardi]] drops [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] out of his Arwing, and with his Peanut Popguns, Diddy shoots the ship holding Donkey Kong. Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Pikmin return as Olimar's aids in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. This time, Olimar appears as "Pikmin & Olimar" on the Japanese character selection screen, unlike in Brawl, where he was listed simply as "Olimar".
 
Olimar can only have three Pikmin following him unlike the predecessor which allowed six. His up-B attacked now involves being carried by Winged Pikmin. The more Pikmin Olimar has following him, the slower the Winged Pikmin fly.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
The same Pikmin from the previous installment return alongside Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 
===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
A Red Pikmin appears as a motif piece hanging on the helmet of the [[Mii#amiibo racing suits|Pikmin Suit]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' starting with the version 4.0 update and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
 
===''Super Mario Maker''===
[[File:SMM Pikmin.png|frame]]
Pikmin, alongside the majority of the ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' cast, cameos as one of the costumes [[Mario]] can obtain in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' via the [[Costume Mario]] power-up. Pikmin sound effects can be heard, the "lose a life" tune is replaced by the Pikmin's own death cries, and the "Course Clear" fanfare is replaced by the tune that plays after obtaining an important item in ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 3|Pikmin 3]]''. Pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} causes the red and blue Pikmin to mature into flowers. When underwater, all three of them are encased in a bubble.
 
===Super Nintendo World===
[[File:Pikmin in SNW.jpg|thumb|left|A Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin as seen in [[Super Nintendo World]]]]
Several Pikmin appear on the [[:File:Super Nintendo World Bag Art.jpg|artwork]] used for the bags in the [[Super Nintendo World]] theme park land and can be found hidden on ledges throughout and as an hidden animation viewed through the augmented reality [[binoculars]]. Visitors can obtain a stamp named "Pick out Pikmin" depicting a Pikmin if they view this animation. Some of these hidden Pikmin are seen working together carrying items such as a [[Coin]] and a [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]].<ref>Lloyd, S. (February 3, 2021).

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a statue resembling a Pikmin appears in the [[BrKLnCouple|Brooklyn Couple]]'s residence.
 
===Unused appearances===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
Olimar and a group of Pikmin were planned to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' when a new type of coffee was made at the [[Starbeans Cafe]]. Olimar would call Mario "Marlio", an anagram of his name, while he would mistake Luigi for a dangerous beast and consider attacking him with his Pikmin.


====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
{| class=wikitable style="width:85%"
Pikmin were proposed to appear as cameos in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' during the game's development, but the proposal was rejected by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], who stated that there is no functional reason to include them due to their different body size when compared to ''Super Mario'' enemies.<ref>McWhertor, M.
