Welcome to IGN's Pikmin Walkthrough for Nintendo Switch (released June 21, 2023), Wii, and GameCube -- yes, this Walkthrough will work for any version of Pikmin you are playing!
We'll show you not only how to beat all the bosses and where all the great sources for Pikmin are, but also all the key treasure locations. Oh, and since you are on a tight schedule in Pikmin, we show you how to make the best out of your 30 days, so see below the walkthrough sections for what we recommend each day.

Recommended Work Timeline
Here are the treasures and upgrades we recommend collecting each day. This is just a rough guideline for collecting every part in the allotted time, you do not have to follow it exactly. This timeline gives you an extra nine days if you have trouble retrieving certain parts, beating a particularly tough boss, or even just spending the day creating more Pikmin after suffering heavy casualties. If a day has gone horribly wrong (like you accidentally lead 100 red/yellow Pikmin into a lake) it might just be best to restart the day for another chance. Bolded names are optional items, meaning you don't need them to successfully escape the planet.
