Pikmin Bloom is set to celebrate its 3.5th anniversary next month, and Niantic is pulling out all the stops with a nostalgic twist. The festivities will kick off with a special event starting on May 1st, 2025, and it's all about bringing back the charm of classic Nintendo gadgets.
The Update Is a Cool Throwback to the Good Old Nintendo Days!
Over the years, Pikmin Bloom has delighted players with unique decor, such as Pikmin adorned with Mahjong Tiles and Playing Cards. For this milestone, the game is introducing decor inspired by iconic Nintendo game consoles from the 80s and 90s. Additionally, a new Playing Card (Clubs Suit) Decor Pikmin will be available, paying homage to Nintendo's origins in the playing card industry before they ventured into video games. These cards are designed to reflect the style of Nintendo's vintage playing card decks.
The event will run from May 1st to May 31st, 2025, giving players a full month to engage in event missions and collect these exciting new Pikmin. Completing Event Challenge missions will reward you with random items, including Game Button Cells, seedlings that can grow into Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 Decor Pikmin, and flower petals.
During the event, Brilliant Mushrooms will appear, and smashing them will yield Mystery Boxes containing Game Button Cells, flower petals, and other goodies. The Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 and Playing Card Decor Pikmin are particularly effective at taking down these mushrooms.
Pikmin Bloom 3.5th Anniversary Also Brings Big Flowers in May
In May, players can look forward to blooming big flowers such as carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, or anniversary roses by planting red, yellow, white, or blue petals around them.
There's also a nectar update for the month. Fruits from mushrooms will now provide nectar for regular flowers, as well as for special blooms like carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and anniversary roses.
Alongside these updates, the 3.5th anniversary will feature other exciting events, including a Community Day. Make sure to download Pikmin Bloom from the Google Play Store and get ready to celebrate this special occasion.
