Pikmin Overgrowth

Story

Pikmin Overgrowth and its sequels take place in an alternate timeline where Pikmin are the dominant species of PNF-404. Their only threat is an unknown entity that lurks deep in the darkest reaches of the caves.

Gameplay

Instead of having days with time limits, areas are visited until the player decides to return to the hub, with no time limit. Gameplay is much more puzzle based, and areas are much larger as well, making up for the loss of time limit. However, there is still a Day/Night cycle. During the night, a couple of things change. Nocturnal enemies such as Bulborbs, will be awake, and vice versa. It will become significantly darker, causing Pikmin to trip and fall more often (Unless Glowmin are in the party), and limiting visibility. Enemies will randomly spawn in large numbers over time. There also some unique enemies that will only spawn during the night.
