Pikmin: Hybrids

Pikmin: Hybrids is a game meant to continue where Pikmin 2 left off. It introduces a new way of playing Pikmin; you now have the ability to adapt your Pikmin using special berries.

Plot
The game features Olimar once again, but there has been a radical change to the Planet of the Pikmin- strange candypop buds have begun appearing everywhere that possess the ability to blend Pikmin types! Olimar hears of the news from Louie, who has been assigned to collect treasure for Hocotate Freight from the Pikmin Planet. Olimar, despite his family's protests, sets out to investigate. When he reaches the planet, he learns that the Pikmin species is dwindling. Grateful for their help over the years, Olimar takes it upon himself to discover why the species is suffering and preserve the Pikmin!

Trivia and Developer's notes

 * A boss enemy in the game called a Gunship Groink was actually inspired by vehicles in Star Wars called Republic Gunships.
