      Basic Game Info -
      Display Spoiler
      Pikmin 2 expands on the gameplay introduced in its predecessor, Pikmin. The player controls both Captain Olimar and Louie
      from a third-person microscopic perspective in a mission to retrieve treasures (which consist of human waste
      such as scrap metal and broken toys) from the surface of an unknown
      planet (called the "distant planet"). The gameplay focuses on leading
      and directing a horde of plant-like creatures called Pikmin to
      accomplish this mission. The Pikmin follow behind Olimar and/or Louie as
      they move around the field. The player can quickly throw individual
      Pikmin at enemies and obstacles, where they automatically engage in
      combat, destroy obstacles, or build bridges. The player can also direct
      the entire mob (or a subdivision) to swarm and attack enemies en masse.
      Because the player controls two leaders simultaneously, the player can
      have the leaders separate with their own Pikmin hordes and accomplish
      numerous tasks in the field at once. While the player can amass a
      limitless number of Pikmin, only up to 100 Pikmin are allowed on the
      game field at any time.

      Game Type Summary -
      Display Spoiler
      a 2004 real-time strategy video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube video game console.
      The game is the direct sequel to the 2001 game Pikmin and is the second game in the Pikmin series.
      Like its predecessor, Pikmin 2 focuses on exploring the
      surface of an unknown planet from a microscopic perspective, where the
      player directs and delegates tasks to a horde of tiny plant-like
      creatures called Pikmin. The Pikmin can be directed to destroy
      obstacles, defeat enemies, and retrieve objects. Pikmin 2 introduces many gameplay mechanics not seen in Pikmin, including the ability to control two different leaders of the Pikmin at once and the addition of new Pikmin types.

      Pikmin 2 received critical acclaim, gaining aggregate scores of 89.60% and 90 on GameRankings and MetaCritic,
      respectively.[4][5] Many critics praised the additions to the Pikmin gameplay, such as the removal of the 30-day time limit imposed
      in the original game. The game (and its predecessor) was ported to the Wii in 2009 as a New Play Control! title. Pikmin 3,
      a sequel to the game, is currently in development for the Wii U console.
