Apparently aside from unlocking levels, they give you an amiibo item and a description

http://www.monamiibo.com/hey-pikmin-amiibo-guide/

This one is building up to a guide for a complete look, but so far missing plenty and their second pages too.

This guy has most too.

for instance, this Waluigi one

 

[TheDinoman]

That's actually pretty clever.

Man, it reminds me of how great the Piklopedia was in Pikmin 2 and how Pikmin 3 dropped the ball by not including it. I hope it's back for Pikmin 4.

 

[Robin64]

This one never even came out in Europe.

 

[Hylian7]

Are the Bayonetta and Cloud amiibo supported by this game?

 

[Boss Doggie]

The more I read about this the more it looks like Olimar is a disgruntled salaryman.

 

[Regiruler]

I don't get the waluigi description. Is it describing Olimar or Waluigi?

 

[Robin64]

Are the Bayonetta and Cloud amiibo supported by this game?

Only the Mario, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon series create figures, as well as Olimar as the one odd Smash one that works.

(By which I mean those unique to the Smash line don't work, Smash Mario will still activate Mario)

This one is building up to a guide for a complete look, but so far missing plenty and their second pages too.

I think it's rather that many of them only have one page. Notice the buttons arrow on top: when there's two pages, one button is orange while the other is blue; when there's only one page, both are blue.

I don't get the waluigi description. Is it describing Olimar or Waluigi?

Yeah it's confusing

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah it's confusing

that's the point

Spoiler

waluigi is a non-entity that Olimar only remembered something terrible

 

[ExigentContact]

Child soldier Inkling is the funniest thing. And "Fanged Marshmallow" as a description for Boo is just adorable.

 

[Golnei]

The more I read about this the more it looks like Olimar is a disgruntled salaryman.

He was taken advantage of at school, has a troubled marriage, feels trapped by his job, is mocked by his coworkers, and considers himself a perpetual failure. I was never expecting his depressing backstory to be unearthed by an amiibo.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Yeah it's confusing

It's confusing because it's the second part, here's the first:

He's actually talking about the ship of all things.

both are on the post

like I said though, the whole idea is Waluigi is nonexistent

 

[SturokBGD]

He's always been like that.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

These are incredible. I love Amiibo.

Agreed. He's not worth directly referring to. Instead the Dolphin basically rubs Olimar's failures in his face sarcastically when Waluigi's aura is simply around.

It's amazingly appropriate for the complete failure that is Waluigi.

This is why I don't get people who want Waluigi to have a bigger presence in games. He is the ultimate joke character who is absolute shit. He is perfect in that role.

 

[DryvBy]

They just threw this Pikmin amiibo on Amazon. Do we have a way to see what these will do for Hey Pikmin?

 

[Boss Doggie]

He's always been like that.

my only experience was Pikmin, and he only sounded like an employee being ragged on by his boss, didn't realize he had more

 

[kulapik]

Olimar likes Callie, he's good

 

[NEO0MJ]

These are hilarious. I like this one.

After all the Mario series does set up impossible standards for the other Nintendo franchises to follow.

Doubly when at first he's empathizing with Mario.

Olimar likes Callie, he's good

Callie is for depressed deadbeats confirmed.

 

[13ruce]

I love the Squid Sisters bits.
The Waluigi one is hilarious same for gold/silver Mario.

 

[kulapik]

Daisy's is sad ;(

And Toad's is hilarious, don't let Olimar see the Mario cartoons

 

[ShadowElliot]

Unlock the LORE in Hey! Pikmin.

Spoiler

amiibo required

 

[Schlomo]

Can't you also earn them without having the amiibo, or did I read that wrong?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

The first part of Isabelle's description is interesting:

A bit of a commentary on some of the fan adoration for her?

Donkey Kong with an office job sounds amazing.

Daisy's is sad ;(

And Toad's is hilarious, don't let Olimar see the Mario cartoons

Holy shit you're right.

I always think of Tekken Tag 2 when the question of Toad's head comes up.

Tiger Jackson's afro became Toad's cap. I see the cap as Toad's and Toadette's hair.

 

[Koppai]

I have almost all the amiibo so I should be set lol

 

[Blizzard]

Wow, those Daisy and Toad descriptions went in an unexpected direction.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is this some of Olimar's coping mechanism?

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Imagine being an astronaut on a hostile, foreign planet. You take some local creatures to aid your efforts. You find all manner of interesting treasures, until one day....

You find a statue of yourself.

Poor Olimar.

 

[Nights Owl]

This is probably one of my favorite uses of amiibo. You can easily look this stuff up, but you get little funny/interesting things locked behind 'em if you happen to have 'em.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Does the Golden Megaman have a different story than the plain blue one?

Same question with regular and Famicom ROB?

 

[TissueBox]

That Daisy one. *sniff*

 

[Blam]

That Daisy one. *sniff*

Seriously got a little knot in my throat reading that.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

I wish it supported more amiibos

 

[RecRoulette]

This is awesome. Loved the descriptions of mundane items in the previous Pikmin games.

 

[SalvaPot]

This are really great. My $6 copy finally shipped, I should be able to pick it up by monday.

 

[RRockman]

Daisy's making you sad? You gotta read Peach's!!

It's heart breaking

This are really great. My $6 copy finally shipped, I should be able to pick it up by monday.

A Prime day benefactor I see.

 

[LinkSlayer64]

It's confusing because it's the second part, here's the first:

Did you guys not notice it is making a comparison of Waluigi to the ship? The title of "Insensitive Lout" at the top, indicating Waluigi is in fact, an insensitive lout (he probably is.)

 

[TheSun]

Powerful pencil pusher.

I consider Donkey many things, but I'd never thought he'd be described like that.

I quite like these descriptions. wanna see more.
