Hey! Pikmin

In Hey! Pikmin , a spinoff of the Pikmin series, the player controls Captain Olimar, in a 2.5D side-scroller with puzzle elements, instead of the traditional 3D real-time strategy that the series goes by.

Pikmin are found in the wild, and Captain Olimar can call upon them with his whistle, and then issue several different commands, such as throw them onto platforms, so they can remove obstacles and collect items.

Olimar is controlled with the D-pad, while Pikmin are controlled with the stylus.

As such, the game relies heavily on the touchscreen.

Each Pikmin type has different abilities – for instance, blue Pikmin can swim, red Pikmin are resistant to fire, and yellow Pikmin are resistant to electricity.

The player must then utilize different Pikmin to suit different situations.

Captain Olimar has a set of green bars depicting his health, which are depleted by simply bumping into enemies, instead of just by enemy attacks, like in previous games.

Hey! Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS is currently worth €37.07 loose, €14.86 complete in box, and €27.74 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Hey! Pikmin has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Hey! Pikmin, loose is €37.07 and CIB is €14.86 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Hey! Pikmin is currently worth €37.07 loose, versus €31.73 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
