Please note that the title of the game is just Pikmin 3, and the "hinsburg version" in the title is to distinguish it from other games of the same name.
Pikmin 3, as envisioned by hinsburg from the GameFAQs Pikmin 2 forum board, is a fanmade sequel to Pikmin 2 which was created in 2008, and first began being posted to the forum board on May 26 of that year. The thread for the game would continue to receive regular updates until November 19 of that same year, when it was discontinued due to hinsburg, its creator, having too many projects going on.
The original forum thread which the fake guide through the game and all discussion of the game was posted to, known as "My Pikmin 3 Walkthrough (FAKE)", is still archived online, and is viewable at this link, for anyone who wants to read it.
This concept of Pikmin 3 features many returning enemies and all returning Pikmin from Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, as well as featuring many new enemies and a new Pikmin type, Pink Pikmin. The new collectible resources which are gathered through the game, equivalent to the ship parts of Pikmin 1 and treasures of Pikmin 2, are "machines", which are collected in order to solve an energy crisis on Hocotate by providing new energy sources.

Pikmin
All Pikmin types from the first two Pikmin games return, and there is a new Pikmin type which can be found underground like Purple and White Pikmin. Bulbmin also return, along with a new parasitic Pikmin life-form.
Areas
The game has five areas, though only four of them were ever revealed before the cancellation of the project. The fifth area would have been unlocked when the four special "radio" machines were collected, but only limited information about this final area has been shared. Like in Pikmin 2, each area of the game has several caves to explore.
- Dawn Lake
- Tranquil Forest
- Pensive Plains
- Black Abyss
- A fifth area, which was planned to be the Valley of Repose and Wistful Wild fused into one massive region
Enemies
Many enemies from earlier Pikmin games reappear in Pikmin 3, and there are a variety of new enemy types to encounter as well. A full list of revealed enemies present in the game is found in the Piklopedia.
Machines
Machines are the new collectible of Pikmin 3, filling the role of treasures from Pikmin 2 and ship parts from Pikmin 1. There were planned to be 300 collectible machines, but only 130 of them were ever revealed before the project's cancellation.
A full list of machines that be collected in the game is found in the Mechanism Storage.
Controls
Many of the game's controls were explained by hinsburg in the game's forum thread. These controls will be documented here.
