■“PIKMIN x JR Kyushu - Explore the Enchanted Planet of Kyushu” Details
A selection of 6 station plazas in Kyushu will be holding a variety of Pikmin-related events, including the “Pikmin Festa in Kyushu”, Pikmin-themed train wraps, and a digital stamp rally to collect treasure at JR Kyushu Stations.
“Pikmin Festa” events will include pop up stores opening for a limited time at amusement plazas in each station building. These pop up stores will be offering not only Pikmin merchandise from the Nintendo Official Store, but also “PIKMIN x JR Kyushu” original merchandise! See details here.
■Pikmin Bloom Event 1: Meet special Decor Pikmin at “Pikmin Festa in Kyushu”!
Each “Pikmin Festa in Kyushu” will feature an in-app “Spot Challenge”, which will start when you launch your Pikmin Bloom app near the venue on the event day. Clearing the dedicated mission gets you a Gold Seedling that grows into a Red “Gold Ticket” Decor Pikmin!
Dates and locations are as follows:
*The Spot Challenge will be held from 10:00 on the first day to 20:00 on the second day (local time) at each location.
*The station name on the “Gold Ticket” Decor will be different for each venue.
■Pikmin Bloom Event 2: Receive special postcards from Special Spots at the stations!
During the project period, Special Spots will appear in the Pikmin Bloom app at stations participating in the JR Kyushu digital stamp rally “Treasure Collection”. Swiping down on these Special Spots gets users postcards featuring special designs, as well as regular white nectar.
The postcard designs are different for each prefecture and there are 7 types in total! Do collect them as you work on your stamp rally progress!
