Pikmin 3, as envisioned by Hinsburg from the GameFAQs Pikmin 2 forum board, is a fanmade sequel to Pikmin 2. It was created in 2008, when it was posted to the forum board on May 26th of that year. The thread would continue to receive regular updates until November 19th of that same year, when it was discontinued due to its creator having too many other projects. The original forum thread the 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 here.
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 that are gathered through the story, equivalent to the ship parts of Pikmin 1 and treasures of Pikmin 2, are machines, collected 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 that 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 were ever revealed. The fifth area would have been unlocked when the four special "radio" machines were collected. Like in Pikmin 2, each area of the game has several caves to explore.
- Dawn Lake
- Tranquil Forest
- Pensive Plains
- Black Abyss
The fifth area was planned to be a fusion of the Valley of Repose and Wistful Wild.
