Game
“The Pikmin Flower” is a real-life white flower with a yellow center that closely resembles the loveable plant-like characters from Nintendo’s newest action-strategy game, Pikmin, only for NINTENDO GAMECUBE.
Description
In Pikmin, players take on the role of an intrepid spaceman who crashes onto an unfamiliar planet after a comet collides with his spaceship. The space explorer must collect the vessel’s lost parts, which are scattered throughout the planet, while relying on his silver spacesuit to protect him from a deadly poisonous atmosphere. Pikmin is a race against time. Players must make sure all the Pikmin are not destroyed. They must also carefully monitor the remaining life of the spaceman. With practice, players can rear Pikmin sprouts of different colors, then train them and watch them grow into three different forms — leaves, buds and flowers.
