NOTES: Pikmin 4 is a real-time strategy game where the player controls a small human like character who takes command of squads of Pikmin to explore various areas, fight enemies, secure treasures, and solve puzzles. The game is the first in the series to feature a customizable playable character. It introduces two new species of Pikmin called Ice Pikmin and Glow Pikmin, as well as new features like the Night Expeditions, in which players defend against waves of nocturnal enemies. EPD Director and Lead Programmer Yuji Kando, admits to this game being the culmination of many different prototypes he worked on after Pikmin 3. Kando's specific role for this game included taking charge of the general game design and level design, the base programming of the game system, and deciding on the game's direction. Miyamoto stated that the goals was to convince players that Pikmin weren't just fantasy characters, but rather creatures that could be among us in the real world. Kando revealed that in designing the treasures, they wanted parents and children to have conversations about the significance of some of the collectible items. Between public acknowledgement of the game and patents from lead developer Yuji Kando, development from prototype to production spanned over 8 years.
