1.5 Years of Pikmin Bloom!

Thanks to your continued support, Pikmin Bloom is now celebrating its 1.5 year release anniversary! Let’s celebrate with a special event to add some color to the world by planting beautiful flowers all over.

Date & Time

April 29 (Saturday), 0:00 through May 7 (Sunday), 23:59 local time.

Event Details

The 1.5 Anniversary Event will consist of two parts for you to enjoy.

Part 1 - 1.5 Anniversary Community Week: Starts on 4/29 at Midnight

We’re bringing back the highly popular Community Week event, which was originally held during our first anniversary celebration! Now you’ll have a chance to earn any Community Day badges from December 2022 to April 2023 that are missing from your collection, so don’t let this opportunity pass by! Additionally, for those of you who missed out on the chance to get the first Community Day badge, we will have a special opportunity for you to get it again!

But that’s not all! We’ve also prepared some very difficult challenges that even those who have already earned all the Community Day badges can enjoy. So join the event and earn the highly coveted, golden item that will show the world you are a Pikmin Bloom master.

During the event, up to 5 flower planting missions will be displayed. Clear them to earn a Community Day badge from December 2022 to April 2023. Please note that you will only get missions for badges that are missing from your collection.

If you’ve collected all the Community Day badges from December 2022 to April 2023, you will get an extremely challenging set of 5 special missions. Complete all of them to earn an incredibly rare golden T-shirt for your Mii! Don’t worry if you haven’t collected all the badges yet, you can still try your hand at the challenges if you collect all the Community Day badges during the event. Give it a shot!

You’ll also be able to purchase a special mission ticket in the shop that allows you to obtain the first Community Day badge, which was only available during the November 2021 Community Day. Please note that this ticket can only be purchased in the shop until May 7th. However, you’ll have until June 30th, 2023, at 23:59 to complete the special mission and obtain the badge.

During the event, big flowers will bloom into seasonal flowers when you plant regular flowers around them. Big flowers will bloom into either winter flowers or spring flowers according to the schedule below. Additionally, the time it takes for big flowers in full bloom to go back to leaves will be shortened to 6 hours for the duration of the event.

Big Flower Schedule

Winter flowers include poinsettias, cyclamens, camellias, daffodils, and plum blossoms. These flowers will bloom from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm on April 30th, May 2nd, 4th, and 6th. On April 29th, May 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th, they will bloom from 12:00 pm to 11:59 pm.

Spring flowers include cherry blossoms, windflowers, tulips, baby blue eyes, roses, and carnations. These flowers will bloom from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm on April 29th, May 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. On April 30th, May 2nd, 4th, and 6th, they will bloom from 12:00 pm to 11:59 pm.
