Pikmin Bloom, Niantic’s popular mobile game developed in partnership with Nintendo, is welcoming players into spring with a series of vibrant new events for April 2024.
The app, which has brought millions of players worldwide into its whimsical world of gardening, walking, and collecting Pikmin, is marking this season with limited-time specials, exclusive Decor Pikmin, and a special collaboration celebrating the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
April Event Overview: Tulip Festival and Seasonal Decor Pikmin
From April 1 at 12:00 a.m. local time through April 30 at 11:59 p.m. local time, Pikmin Bloom is hosting the Tulip Festival event.
This lively in-game celebration allows players to encounter Pikmin adorned with Klompen Keychains, inspired by the iconic wooden shoes closely tied to tulip festivals.
In addition to this new Decor, returning favorites such as Bunny Egg and Easter Egg Decor Pikmin are making a seasonal comeback for players to add to their collections.
Throughout the Tulip Festival, players can take part in Event Challenge missions.
Successful completion of these challenges will reward participants with items such as Stroopwafels, Klompen Keychain Decor Pikmin seedlings, flower petals, and more.
A particularly notable reward awaits when the Big Flower at the event stage blooms, as players are guaranteed to receive a coveted Gold Seedling alongside random event items.
Special Missions and Limited-Time Rewards
The start of April also marks the release of unique mission sets, letting participants earn event-themed Mii™ character costumes and choose from incentives such as Easter Egg and Bunny Egg Decor Pikmin seedlings after collecting required numbers of Stroopwafels.
After meeting the completion criteria for several missions, the focus shifts to exclusive seedlings as the primary rewards.
Lavish Mushroom Challenges and Rare Mystery Boxes
A highlight of the event period is the introduction of Lavish Mushrooms, which, when defeated, yield special Mystery Boxes filled with items and additional Stroopwafels.
Players are encouraged to deploy their strongest Decor Pikmin—specifically the Klompen Keychain, Bunny Egg, Easter Egg, and Cheese Decor Pikmin—for maximum efficiency in these battles.
While Cheese Decor Pikmin seedlings are not event rewards, they can still be secured by purchasing dedicated Special Mission Tickets from the in-game shop.
Weekend Challenges: Giant Lavish Mushrooms
On weekends, from April 4–5, 11–12, 18–19, and 25–26, the game will feature Giant Lavish Mushrooms containing rare Mystery Boxes.
During these weekends, players can use the Mushroom Battle Bullhorn up to three times per day to team up with friends for these special encounters.
April Community Day Details: Parrot Tulip Blooms
The monthly Community Day, happening from April 11 at 12:00 a.m. local time to April 12 at 11:59 p.m. local time, is spotlighting Big Flowers that bloom into Parrot Tulips when players plant regular petal colors.
Achieving a daily step count of 10,000 on either day will reward players with a Parrot Tulip Flower Badge, and all seedlings in the planter pack will grow 1.5 times faster during the event, with additional multipliers when flower planting.
Super Mario Galaxy Movie Collaboration Event
To further enhance the spring festivities, Pikmin Bloom is launching a crossover event celebrating the debut of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Running from April 1 at 12:00 a.m. through May 31 at 11:59 p.m., this event lets users take on themed special missions to grow exclusive Super Mario Keychain Decor Pikmin, merging the magic of Mario’s universe with Pikmin’s own charm.
Players must ensure their app is updated to version v140 or later to participate in all April events.
Pikmin Bloom remains free to start, with optional in-app purchases and a persistent internet connection required.
As always, players are encouraged to stay aware of their surroundings during gameplay.
With its dynamic event lineup, exclusive Decor Pikmin, and innovative collaboration with the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Pikmin Bloom on supported smart devices continues to engage its global community and give new reasons to make every walk an adventure.
