Pikmin 4 Deluxe
Pikmin 4 Deluxe is a game released for the Nintendo Switch 2 that released February 12, 2031, four months prior to the release of Pikmin 5, and about a year prior to the release of the Wii ALL. It includes extra content, such as more Pikmin types, a revamped co-op mode with up to 4 players, more areas, extra minigames, everything from the Pikmin 4 DLC, Amiibo support, and a side-story taking place after all the castaways leaving PNF-404 when Moss takes the role of the captain for the Pikmin, and much more. The side-story is unlockable by defeating the Ancient Sirehound in the main story.

Extra minigames
There will be extra minigames which can be played in singleplayer or multiplayer. You can select 5 different difficulties, such as Super Sweet, Kinda Sweet, Normal, Kinda Spicy, and Ultra Spicy.
Lumiknoll Defense
Lumiknoll Defense features an infinitely lasting night where, you guessed it, protect a Lumiknoll. You can select any map in the game, as well as 5 different difficulties, such as Super Sweet, Kinda Sweet, Normal, Kinda Spicy, and Ultra Spicy.
Each wave consists of different types of enemies, and the waves get slightly more harder as you go on, until being near impossible. The Lumiknoll will regenerate 25% of its lost HP after each wave.
Protect the Lumiknoll, new blood.
Boss Shuffle
This one might be mostly self explanatory but I'll explain it for those who don't know what this one is about.
So basically, the game will choose a random boss for you to fight, and you start off with 100 Pikmin, with the types depending on which boss you're fighting. After defeating said boss, the game will randomly pick another.
Amiibo support
Scanning a Pikmin Amiibo can give you a few Pikmin, the type depends on what type of Pikmin Amiibo you scanned. The same Amiibo can be scanned once every 5 minutes (unless if you rewind time), and up to 2 times each day. However, you can only get Pikmin types that you have discovered.
For example, Scanning a Purple Pikmin Amiibo will give you a few Purple Pikmin, but if you haven't yet discovered them, then you'll get a different type of Pikmin.
Moss's side-story
As I mentioned earlier, this side-story takes place after all the castaways leave PNF-404. Moss takes the captain's role for the Pikmin.
