In Pikmin Bloom, you do your daily walk, you get Pikmin seedlings and the more you walk, the more they’ll grow. You can pick up nectar from the many fruits that you can pick up on your walks and flowers will bloom atop your Pikmins heads. You’ll leave behind a trail of beautiful flowers, it’s a very simple game and sometimes that’s all you need.
In the other Pikmin games, you direct the Pikmin you’ve recruited to perform a number of tasks with the ultimate goal of retrieving items that are integral to the mission of each game.

Why You Should Play Pikmin Bloom
If you ever just wanna go out and enjoy for yourself a pleasant walk around the neighborhood or the city then Pikmin Bloom might be a great game for you to take with you as you travel with your Pikmin companions and plant flowers all around to show to everyone.
