Rikmon is a spinoff Pikmin game for the Wii U Extra and computer. It features lots of new Pikmin, but none of the previous ones return. Although, the new Pikmin are more interesting. All the Pikmin are called Rikmon. The story is that The President wants even more money and forces all his employees to come to PNF-404 with him to find treasure, Louie however does not want to go. So he sabotages the fuel tank, and they crash on a different planet, CAS-040. The ship gets damaged and its vital parts get scattered around. Olimar, Louie and The President need to repair it to go home. The Koppaites are running a bit short on food and decide to go back to the planet again. Coincidentally, their direction malfunctions and they end up flying towards CAS-040.

Hazards can hurt Rikmon if they aren't immune to it. Here is a list of Hazards

Bubbles[]

Bubbles are floating objects that can be popped if the Rikmon used is immune. If a Rikmon touches it and they are not immune, they will be hurt in some way. If they are immune, they will pop it. Bubble Rikmon and Ultra Rikmon are immune to all bubbles. There are a few types of Bubbles.

Fire Bubble[]

A Bubble that is on fire. If the Rikmon is not immune, they will be set on fire. Can be popped by Fireball Rikmon.

Acid Bubble[]

A Bubble that is dripping with acid. If the Rikmon is not immune, they will be corroded. Can be popped by Acidic Rikmon.

Fear Bubble[]

A Bubble full of fear. If the Rikmon is not immune, they will run around and won't listen to orders for a while, potentially causing them to run into other hazards. Can be popped by Monster Rikmon.

Shocking Bubble[]

A Bubble with electricity running through and around it. Probably the most dangerous and ranged bubble. If the Rikmon is not immune, they will be shocked on the ground and will die unless whistled to safety. They can be popped by  Silver Rikmon.

Enemies[]

Enemies are living creatures that will try to eat Rikmon or use hazards to stop them.

Red Bulborb[]

Red Bulborb's are the mascot enemy of the Pikmin Series. Their eyes take the most damage, so aim for them.

Sun Bulborb[]

Sun Bulborb's first appear in Rikmon, and can be seen on the NTSC boxart. It is a more pinkish Red Bulborb. It's special ability is spitting fire puddles and also walks pretty fast.

Scary Bulborb[]

Scary Bulborbs first appear in Rikmon, and can also be seen on the NTSC boxart. It is a desaturated yellowish Red Bulborb. It's special ability is a roar which scares Rikmon. It also is the most active Bulborb, and can be awoken from very far distances or quiet noises.

Yellow Bulborb[]

Yellow Bulborb's first appear in Rikmon. They have a yellow back with green spots. They eat Rikmon by sticking their tongue out and rolling it around to catch them, similar to Emperor Bulblax. Everything else is identical to a Red Bulborb.

Jelly Blowhog[]

Jelly Blowhogs first appear in Rikmon, and can be seen on the NTSC boxart. It is a blowhog with yellow eyes and a yellow snout. It's shoots out jelly which severly slows down Rikmon, and tries to suck them up. Rikmon do not die instantly, and will be slowly digested in his belly, similar to Jellyfloats. It is the only Blowhog that can kill Rikmon without elemental hazards.

Horrorhog[]

Horrorhogs are grey blowhogs with black eyes and snouts. They shoot lingering Fear Gas at Rikmon and they can summon enemies like Dwarf Megborbs. They are very hard enemies due to their high health and the dangerous enemies they spawn and the fact they scare Rikmon.

Dwarf Megborb[]

Dwarf Megborbs are bigger than Dwarf Red Bulborbs but are smaller than a Red Bulborb. They are the baby Megborbs. They are slow but can eat a lot of Rikmon quickly. They look like a small Purple Megborb.

Orange Megborb[]

Orange Megborbs are much bigger than Red Bulborbs. They are the smallest adult Megborb, however does not make them the most dangerous. Because of their size, they have decent speed, the one thing other Megborbs lack.

Green Megborb[]

Green Megborbs are a bit bigger than an Orange Megborb. They are pretty slow, but can eat a devastating amount of Rikmon at once. They are more active than the other Megborbs, so try to get as far away. Fortunately, they give up easily, and so if your Rikmon are fast enough, you can run away from them.

Purple Megborb[]

Purple Megborbs are bigger than an Green Megborb. They are the biggest Megborb. They are very slow, and to make up for this they can use their tongue to grab Rikmon further away than its mouth can reach. They are the least active Megborb so they are not usually a problem.

Dwarf Kingborb[]

Dwarf Kingborbs are the same size as a Dwarf Red Bulborb, but they have a special attack: a jump. The jump can't flatten Rikmon, but it will knock them over, giving the Kingborb a chance to eat them. Oddly enough, the adult version never appears. Lord Kingborb appears to be an adult, but shrinks down to a Dwarf Kingborb when defeated, which implies he was never an adult.

Lemon Doppelganger[]

This thing looked like a treasure but when I got close it grew legs and arms! I'm never eating lemons again.
— Olimar's Notes


Even though they are not Citrus, they taste very similar to lemons. They're slightly more sour though, so be careful!
— Louie's Notes


I saw a lemon and decided I would have a snack. I decided not to eat the lemon when it started walking around.
— Alph's Notes

Lemon Doppelgangers appear to be a lemon treasure, but when approached, they will get up and reveal their limbs. They will run around and eat Rikmon quickly.

Baby Baguette Bug[]

Baby Baguette Bugs are small Baguette Bugs. They can eat two Rikmon at once, and digest pretty quickly.

Bosses[]

Bosses are enemies that are big and strong. They are more dangerous than normal enemies.

Lord Kingborb[]

This thing has to be the biggest grub-dog I've ever seen! Except, upon further inspection, it is not a grub-dog but rather a Kingborb. I shall call it "Lord Kingborb" because it was wearing a crown.
— Olimar's Notes


When I saw this I knew it was going to be a delicious meal for the whole of Hocotate, but when it was weakened down it was reduced to a tiny little enemy! It still tasted good nonetheless.
— Louie's Notes


My jaw dropped when I saw this. I wondered how on Koppai I was going to beat this. I really overestimated him, and I was able to beat him with my trusty Rikmon.
— Alph's Notes

Lord Kingborb is the largest Grub-dog style enemy in the game. The boss attacks by jumping high up and crashing down, and then eating Rikmon. When enraged, he blows bubbles of a random element. It is recommended you fight his first phase with Chubby Rikmon and his second phase with Bubble Rikmon. When defeated, he shrinks down to a Dwarf Kingborb, and his big crown falls down. Then, like all bosses, Ship absorbs him. His King Crown is made into the Metal Suit Z, which triples your health.

Titan Wraith[]

This strange creature looks like a Waterwraith, but it isn't invincible. It can also conjure elemental blobs, which doesn't remind me of anything.
— Olimar's Notes


I don't know what this thing actually tastes like because it leaves nothing, but its blobs taste pretty good in soup.
— Louie's Notes


This thing creeps me out. It's like a ghost! The way it can shoot blobs reminds me of a past enemy.
— Alph's Notes

The Titan Wraith is a big ghost-like entity. He appears on all the sublevels before the boss if you aren't quick enough, very similar to the Titan Wraith. He isn't as dangerous though, because he only flies around and absorbs Rikmon. They die about half a minute after being absorbed, but if you enter the next sublevel within this time they will live. It is possible to kill him on all sublevels, but on the ones before the bosses, he will not actually die and will simply explode into blobs. He won't annoy you for the rest of the sublevel though. His boss fight is pretty different to how he attacks on previous sublevels. He shoots elemental blobs, similar to the Plasm Wraith. When he is enraged, he will shoot Bomb Rocks and cause rocks to fall from the sky. When he is defeated, he drops the Polished Broom, which can be used to make the Clean Whistle, which makes your whistle louder and therefore increases its range.

Baguette Bug[]

I was amazed to see a baguette walking. Instead of me eating the baguette, the baguette wanted to eat the Rikmon.
— Olimar's Notes


Chop it up into slices to fully enjoy. Serve with garlic.
— Louie's Notes


On CAS-040, anything is possible. Including walking ravenous loaves of bread.
— Alph's Notes

The Baguette Bug is a big baguette with eyes. The boss attacks by rolling around and eating Rikmon. He will also spawn Baby Baguette Bugs, which can be pretty dangerous. When the boss is enraged, he will cause Loaf Rocks to fall from the sky. These explode into a bunch of Baby Baguette Bugs and can squash Rikmon when landing. He drops Love Cake.
