Pikmin: Wide World/Upgrade list

"It's a jungle out there!" This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Wide World, a fanon game created by Cheepy-Cheepy.

Upgrades are collectibles that benefit leaders and grant access to alternate game modes. In Pikmin: Wide World, upgrades are separated into three distinct categories, which are: unlocks, Exploration Kit upgrades, and ship parts.

Unlocks simply unlock alternate game modes, them being Battle Mode, Challenge Mode, and Bottomless Abyss, although not necessarily in that order.

The Exploration Kit consists of upgrades that benefit leaders and sometimes even nearby Pikmin and Pikmin in their squad, if any. It includes upgrades from Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 but also includes some newly-introduced upgrades. Exploration Kid upgrades are not obtained from treasures like they are in Pikmin 2, but instead appear as the upgrade itself encased in a small plastic capsule, like in Pikmin 3, that must be carried to the Dolphin Lander to be unlocked. Most are found setting around various locations, but some other upgrades are only found by defeating bosses. Each Exploration Kit upgrade requires at least fifteen Pikmin to carry it, and a maximum of twenty-five can be carrying it at once. All Exploration Kit upgrades can be toggled on or off from the Dolphin Lander, and some can be toggled through the HocoPad. All Exploration Kid upgrades are found at tier one, and the Dolphin Lander can upgrade most of them using Sparklium to improve the benefits they provide. Of note is that the functionality of the Treasure Gauge and Fruit Finder may be interfered with by a variety of sources.

Unlike ship parts in Pikmin 1, which are used to rebuild the S.S. Dolphin, ship parts in Pikmin: Wide World are used to expand upon or improve the Dolphin Lander's capabilities. There are only a few ship parts to collect, but each of them greatly benefits the leaders. Like Exploration Kit upgrades, ship parts can be found around the world.

Below, all upgrades are listed in alphabetical order by name.

Unlocks

• Aggression Meter: unlocks Battle Mode, wherein players may faceoff against other players.
• Anomaly Log: unlocks Bottomless Abyss, an endless cave players can try for a high score in.
• Telecommunications Device: unlocks Challenge Mode, a game mode where players can hone their Pikmin skills.

Fruit Finder	Functions almost identically to the Treasure Gauge, but detects fruits instead of treasures. It appears on the heads-up display above the Treasure Gauge. Some differences between the Fruit Finder and the Treasure Gauge are that the Fruit Finder flashes pink and the beeping noise it makes is lower-pitched and riddled with static.	1x range	1.5x range	2x range	× 150	× 300
Iron Fists	Allows leaders to punch spiked creatures without being harmed in the process.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Jetpack	Allows leaders to become airborne for a short amount of time. Once the jetpack's fuel is completely depleted, the leader using it falls straight down. The fuel quickly regenerates after a short delay when the leader touches the ground. Each tier increases the flight time of the Jetpack.	3 seconds	4 seconds	5 seconds	× 200	× 400
Mega Punch	Increases the damage of all punches delivered by leaders. Each tier increases leader punch damage and adds another punch to form a combo. Tier three allows leaders to deliver a devastating third punch that deals ten percent more damage when delivering consecutive punches. This third punch can destroy objects such as snowballs, sweetgum pods, and even boulders. The tiers for this upgrade are unique in that each punch delivered in a consecutive series of punches matches the tier number; the first punch always does tier one's damage, the second punch always does tier two's damage, and the third punch always does tier three's damage.	102% damage	104% damage	106% damage	× 175	× 350
Mega Tweeter	Returns from Pikmin 2 and functions similarly. Each tier increases both the horizontal and vertical range of the leaders' whistles.	1.3x range	1.7x range	2x range	× 150	× 300

No-Slip Soles	Reduces how much leaders slip and slide when walking on puddles of lubricant.	60% traction	80% traction	100% traction	× 100	× 200
Pluckaphone	Returns from Pikmin 2 and functions identically. It allows leaders to pluck Pikmin sprouts from the ground by simply whistling them.	10 Pikmin	30 Pikmin	50 Pikmin	× 100	× 200
Pocket Conditioner	Allows leaders to cool off more quickly after being near high temperatures and also makes them more difficult to become heated. Nearby Pikmin and enemies are also benefitted from this upgrade so long as they remain close enough to the leaders.	40% cooling	60% cooling	80% cooling	× 175	× 350
Pocket Radiator	Allows leaders to recover more quickly from being chilled, and also makes them more difficult to become chilled. Nearby Pikmin and enemies are also benefitted from this upgrade so long as they remain close enough to the leaders.	40% warmth	60% warmth	80% warmth	× 175	× 350
Radiant Illuminator	Provides more light than a leader's beacons would normally produce, and as such, it greatly improves vision in dark environments such as caves or areas after sundown.	2x range	2.5x range	3x range	× 150	× 300
Scorch Guard	Provides a decrease in damage to leaders from fire and fire-based attacks.	50% resistance	75% resistance	100% resistance	× 175	× 350
Sparklium Jar	Possessed by leaders at the beginning of the game. Allows leaders to collect raw Sparklium dust.	100 Sparklium	200 Sparklium	300 Sparklium	× 250	× 500
Spray Absorber	Allows leaders to absorb more than one dose from nectar, black nectar, and spray nectar. The number of sprays gained from spiderwort berry collection is unaffected by this upgrade.	1.0x spray	1.5x spray	2x spray	× 200	× 400
Spray Bottle	Possessed by leaders at the beginning of the game. Allows leaders to bring a number of each type of spray with them.	3 sprays	7 sprays	10 sprays	× 200	× 400
Traction Cleats	Prevents leaders from slipping and falling on ice.	60% traction	80% traction	100% traction	× 125	× 250
Treasure Gauge	Returns from Pikmin 2, and once more appears on the heads-up display. As the name implies, this upgrade helps leaders locate treasures. The Treasure Gauge will begin to flash more intensely and beep louder and more frequently the closer a leader comes to a treasure. The needle on the device also turns to the right more the closer a leader is to a treasure.	1x range	1.5x range	2x range	× 125	× 250
Whistle Muffler	One of the several new mechanics in Pikmin: Wide World is most enemies being able to hear a leader's whistle, which is where this upgrade is useful. Each tier further reduces the volume of the whistle and the likeliness of an enemy hearing it, although enemies will still be able to hear the whistle if it is blown very near to them. Pikmin will always be able to hear the whistle no matter how quiet it is.	70% volume	45% volume	20% volume	× 175	× 350
Wonderous Windbreaker	Grants leaders total immunity to the effects of wind.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

Ship parts

• Jet Juicer: increases the juice obtained by all fruits by ten percent. The juice used for sprays obtained from spiderwort berries is also increased by the same amount.
• PikHold: allows leaders to store juvenile parasitic Pikmin hosts they have taken with them. Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin may also be stored within it until their respective Onions have been rescued. Captmin and hostile Pikmin types such as Alien Pikmin and Mushroom Pikmin cannot be stored in the PikHold.
• Repair Module: allows leaders to repair their spacesuits at the Dolphin Lander. Healing uses an amount of Sparklium that scales up with how much health is going to be recovered, however, with  × 35 being used to restore a quarter of a leader's health.
• Revitalizer: when a downed leader is brought to the Dolphin Lander, she will ask the player if they would like to spend  × 140 to revive them. If the player accepts, she will beam up the downed leader, revive them, and beam them back down to solid ground. Revived leaders only have a quarter of their health but can be healed. If the player declines, the Dolphin Lander will simply beam up the downed leader and keep them safe for the rest of the day. The player can also change their mind and revive a downed leader after initially declining by interacting with the Dolphin Lander's hologram and selecting the option to revive the downed leader.
• Sparklium Extractor: doubles the amount of Sparklium obtained from any resource that is brought to the Dolphin Lander. This includes, but is not limited to, fruits, treasures, and of course, Sparklium seeds.
• Sparklium Saver: reduces the amount of Sparklium the Dolphin Lander uses for any task by at least half of the original cost.
• Whistle Transmitter: allows leaders to recall all Pikmin to the landing site, no matter if they are idle, working, or fighting, unless they are currently buried.
