Pikmin Bloom is set to celebrate its 3.5th anniversary next month, and Niantic has planned a nostalgic event to mark the occasion. Kicking off on May 1st, 2025, the celebration promises to bring back the charm of classic Nintendo gadgets within the game.
The Update Is a Cool Throwback to the Good Old Nintendo Days!
Throughout its run, Pikmin Bloom has delighted players with various decorative items, such as Pikmin adorned with Mahjong Tiles and Playing Cards. For this special 3.5th anniversary, the game is set to feature classic Nintendo game consoles from the 80s and 90s. Additionally, a new Playing Card (Clubs Suit) Decor Pikmin will be introduced, paying homage to Nintendo’s origins in the playing card industry before they ventured into video games. The designs are inspired by 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 missions and collect these unique Pikmin. Completing Event Challenge missions will reward you with random items such as Game Button Cells, seedlings that can grow into Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 Decor Pikmin, and flower petals.
During the event, Brilliant Mushrooms will also appear. By smashing these mushrooms, players can obtain Mystery Boxes containing items like Game Button Cells, flower petals, and more. The Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 or Playing Card Decor Pikmin are particularly effective at tackling 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 an update to the nectar system; fruits obtained from mushrooms in May will yield nectar for regular flowers, including special ones like carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and anniversary roses.
Beyond these highlights, other exciting activities are planned, including a Community Day. Make sure to download Pikmin Bloom from the Google Play Store and prepare for the 3.5th anniversary festivities.
