The release of Pikmin 3 Deluxe has seen us once again teaming up with our diminutive helpers to retrieve essential items and components and escape this strange planet we find ourselves on. The fabled Pikmin 4 might still be MIA, but this Deluxe version of the Wii U original has reminded us just how much we've missed the little guys.
Yes, the Switch version has us reminiscing about the cute real-time strategy series which started out on GameCube nearly two decades ago. It's been a while since we led out plant-based buddies into battle against towering foes and on daring reconnaissance missions, so what better time to brush up on our Pikmin knowledge?
We've put together a little quiz to cover the basics. Whether you're grasping at old memories or you're totally new to the series, the question remains: How well do you know Pikmin?

12/12. Not too difficult if you've been a fan since the first game.
I know nothing of Pikmen. Let’s give it a shot...
edit: and, a 9/12 not bad guess work
12/12 Never played a Pikmin game. Thank you Smash Bros trophy descriptions and educated guessing
11 out of 12. I know Pikmin VERY well!
(As well as The Carpenters. 😁 Nice reference there.)
7/12. I've played Pikmin 3 for a couple hours, so I didn't guess on all of them, but...
6 out of 12 without google, so pretty *****
Last question got me totally unprepared. The other 11 were too easy.
9/12. Had to think hard on two or three of my right answers. All my guessed ones were wrong for once.
Played all the Pikmim games so probably a bit average that
11/12! Boy am i annoyed with myself. I'm sorry Pikmin, i let you down
11/12. I even know that Pikmin 4 should already be released!
8/12 I've watched playthroughs of pikmin 1 and 2 and played some of pikmin 3. Not the biggest fan of the series, but I've enjoyed what I've played of it so far
A whopping 9/12. I've only played Pikmin 3 and whatever that mini Pikmin game was in Nintendo Land.
5 out of 12. I only played the first game and the only important thing I know is that Yellow Pikmin are the best
I only know of Pikman from 3DS, I did see the previous gen but I never collected the game til 3DS.
7/12 I did MUCH better then I expected considering I've never played Pikmin
I don't know Pikmin, I have never played it and have no interest in doing so, never even touched Olimar in Smash, but I played the quiz for the heck of it just to see how much guessing I could get right.
2 out of 12. Ouch. Two more than I expected, at least.
I failed the height one only. Not bad I guess.
10/12, not bad considering I've never played through a pikmin game.
Also, TK-421 was guarding the Millennium Falcon, not princess Leia
11/12. What a lovely game ^^
Easy 11/12 (only messed up on Olimar height. Huge Pikmin fan
Damn, that last one got me Nice though!
12/12
As much as I love this series, I’ve only played Pikmin 3. Release Pikmin 1 and 2 on the eShop already Nintendo!
Jumped in blind to just guess at everything, and got a 4 out of 12. So, about as well as I usually do on these quizzes.=P
11/12. I'm so mad I missed the height question!
All I could remember was that he was around the height of a coin.
I got 9 almost entirely because of Pikmin's representation in Smash lol the series isn't for me
12/12
Woo!
I'm super happy that my Pikmin knowledge is still sharp.
Easy quiz. I got 9/12, and I'm no Pikmin fanatic--I've never even played the third one.
12/12 - btw, can't believe you used 'occupants' and not 'occuplants' in the subheading.
9/12 and only started with Pikmin 3 Deluxe last Friday
11/12, but I forgot to log in before I did the quiz lol So after lagging in I got, unsurprisingly, 12/12. The only question that posed me any difficulty was number 12, it was so unexpected xD
I’m a top pik
12/12.
Completely unrelated, but I fought so hard in Hades (the game) that my right arm (in real life) started to hurt. I had to pause the game just to get my bearings. Alas, I will escape the House of Hades.
9/12 not bad saying I have never played any of the pikmin games.
9/12 and I've only played the demo
The answer possibilities of the ninth question are super nerd-well chosen! Best question of the quiz! 6/12, btw. I stink.
10/12. Pretty easy even if I'm not a huge Pikmin fan.
10 out of 12. I got lucky in the height question, lol.
7 of 12, and haven't played any of the games
9 of 12, but i think i misclicked on one of the questions. Nah i take my point loss like a man happy with that score and a huge pikmin fan..
@ummyeahnintendo yellow pikmin are the worst in pikmin 1, they use bomb rocks, and that's about it
Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft is an excellent song by Klaatu.
It should say 'Attack Olimar on sight', not 'site'.
Got all 12 right. I feel like this quiz was made for me
10/12
I don't know a whole lot about this series, but...at least 10 is something, right?
@nukatha The Carpenters version is much better, IMHO.
I did not know about mushroom pikmin. I'd love to replay the 1st two games on the switch.
Klaatu reference.
Impressive.
12/12 easy peasy since it's one of my favorite franchises
10/12 - Didn't know Mushroom Pikmin was a thing (speaking of which, I'm pretty sure they attack 'on sight', not 'on site'), or what the Pikmin 3 planet was named after, but apart from that, a pretty nice, breezy quiz.
Never played Pikmin, but got 7/12 correct.
One that tripped me up was Olimar's height. I was going off of how tall he was in Super Smash Bros. compared to the other fighters, thinking he was 1.25 meters exactly.
8/12. Not bad. Love this series.
(WHERE THE FORK IS PART 4?!)
12/12. Pikmin is my favorite Nintendo franchise ever. Of course I aced it.
12/12. I feel like the quiz would have been more challenging if the questions were about some of the Pikmin's sub-abilities. Examples, yellow Pikmin digging faster than other types or how blue Pikmin act as life guards for other drowning Pikmin.
Also I like the Easter egg answers for the planet name question.
10/12 I platnumed the first 8 missions in Pikmin 3 deluxe. Mission 9 seems like there must be a trick to platnum.
6 but to be fair I’ve never played a Pikmin game or read anything about them
8/12 and I've barely played only the first game and Hey Pikmin.
Got 10 out of 12. Surprisingly since I wouldn't consider myself that knowledgeable about Pikmin lore.
I got the metal Pikmin wrong (picked mushroom) and also the one about the home planet from Pikmin 3. (which makes sense since I haven't played that one, just the first two Pikmin games)
Even though I’m not the biggest Pikmin fan, I still got 10/12 right. Yay me!
All but the last one for me...I kinda forgot what the name even was, so, eh. lol
9 out of 12, not bad.
