PIKMIN PLAYERS CHOICE (NINTENDO GAMECUBE NGC)

After crash-landing on a strange, unexplored planet, Captain Olimar must piece together the thirty missing pieces of his spaceship, before his life support runs out in thirty days and he succumbs to the hostile atmosphere of the planet. Luckily, the Pikmin, a plant/insect life form native to the planet, are here to help. Olimar must gather and lead the Pikmin in this real-time strategy game to recover the missing parts of his ship while battling the planet's strange and sometimes hostile flora and fauna.

Pikmin come in three varieties each with a special ability. Red Pikmin are immune to fire while Blue Pikmin are able to swim and Yellow Pikmin can be thrown far. Along with Story Mode, there is a Challenge Mode which is unlocked once all Pikmin types have been discovered in Story Mode. The goal of this mode is to grow as many Pikmin as possible in a single day.
