Pikmin

Pikmin
Pikmin may be small and plantlike, but they can be a space traveler's best friend. Stranded on an unknown planet, Captain Olimar must enlist the help of these native Pikmin to rebuild his spaceship before the life-support system runs out. In the meantime, you'll have to fend off attackers and solve various puzzles. To produce additional multicolored Pikmin you must defeat enemies and carry them back to the Pikmin nests called onions. But beware--watching giant predators gobble your Pikmin might make you angrier than you'd expect.

Cheat Codes/Hints
Hint: Distant Sprint: Smiley faces
When you get the Radar, go to the Distant Spring. If you look closely, you will see a bunch of smiley faces all over the map.
Hint: Faster Pikmin
If you have a single Pikmin that is slow, hold A. You will pick up your Pikmin and can run at the same speed you move without the Pikmin in your hands.
Hint: Flower Pikmin
When Flower Pikmin die, they leave a seed behind. It will sprout into a Leaf Pikmin the next day.
Hint: Free pollen
Look carefully now the Forest Of Hope. There is a lot of pollen up on some of the big mountain-like hills, just next to the first can of bombs, and directly on both sides of where you first find the yellow Onion.
Hint: Geiger Counter
Blow up the wall, then get 100 Red Pikmin. Get rid of all the Bolborbs. Next, get your Blue Pikmin and have them push the box. After that, launch the Red Pikmin onto the ledge near the lake. Go onto the ramp the box was on and when you reach the plateau, there should be a bird. Run away from it and collect your Red Pikmin. Check where the star is on your map and walk near it. Another bird should appear. Shoot your Pikmin onto its head. Repeat this process until it is dead. If your Pikmin are going towards the bridge with the part where the box was on, stop them then kill the bird. However, if your Pikmin head to the edge everything is fine.
Hint: Get 25 Pikmin on first day
Go in front of your ship. Go to the left and when he and the Pikmin runs on top of it, there will be a red pellet.
Hint: Get carried to Onion
Press Down and Olimar will lay down. If he has any Pikmin with him, five of them will carry him to the Onion and the rest will stay behind.
Hint: Get four parts in one day
When you first enter the Forest Of Hope, break down the wall. Kill the Breadbug and get the ship part that it has, then get the Geiger Counter. Next, go to the Puffstool and get the Omega Stabilizer. However, get its dead mushroom head and let the Red Pikmin deliver it. After they cross the bridge, call them back. Finally, get the Blue Pikmin. When you have ten of them, get the Mushroom Head. Pluck the Pikmin out of the ground and if they are all flowers, get the Ioninum Jet #1. Note: You can get the Gravity Jumper instead of the Ioninum Jet#1 by throwing Red Pikmin next to the bridge it is on. Then get next to them, tell them to build a bridge, and collect the gravity jumper.
Hint: Get more Pikmin
Note the color of the pellets when you have the Pikmin carry them to their "Onions." The destination that Pikmin will carry objects to depends on the members of the group. If there are more blue Pikmin than red Pikmin in the group, they will bring it to the blue hive. When the same color pellet is brought to the corresponding hive color it will produce more new Pikmin than if the colors does not match.
Use the following trick to get 600 Pikmin in nine days. Before doing this, getting lots of ship parts in as little days as possible.Go to the first level and have at least 30 Blue Pikmin. Go up the bow ramp and break down the wall. You will see clams. Go up to attack them and get the pearl. Do this repeatedly, then keep doing it for nine days
dragon master doran.
Hint: Get three parts in one day
You need to go to the Forest Navel for the first time for this trick to work. To start the day, get the Blue Pikmin, then knock some of the flowers with the pellets down. Wait for the stealing bug to appear and let it grab the pellet. Then, shoot two Blue Pikmin and let them drag the pellet back to the Onion so that the bug gets injured. Repeat this until it dies. Next, get 15 Blue Pikmin to take it to the ship. Then, get 15 to 20 Red Pikmin and have them build the stick leading to the gear. After they are done, they should automatically grab the part. Wait until they fall down. If they are short, refill and put the rest back into the Onion. Next, get more Red Pikmin and kill the fire shooting things and take 30 Yellow Pikmin to build the bridge. When they are done, have them grab the part and have the Red Pikmin protect the Yellow Pikmin.
When you first enter the Forest Of Hope, get the Electric Fuel Dynamo, After that, go to where you see a Bulborb guarding the Shock Absorber. Throw you Pikmin on the platform, then cross on a big tree root that will get you up there. Call your Pikmin, and without touching him, attack him from behind. When you kill him, get the Shock Absorber. Then, find the Yellow Pikmin and blow up the wall. Use the Red Pikmin to collect the Whimsical Radar. Note: You can do this if most of the Pikmin are flowers.
