• Pikmin Bloom announces exciting summer event with beach-themed content
• Hunt for rare Sea Glass and battle special Seafoam Mushrooms for unique prizes
• Unlock exclusive Surfboard Keychain and Ice Cream Classic Decor Pikmin during the event

British summer weather has been characteristically unpredictable lately, swinging between rain showers and sunshine. Like many, I'd much rather be lounging on a sunny beach somewhere - and now Pikmin Bloom is bringing those tropical vibes straight to our phones with its dazzling Beach Resort Event!

Launching right after the game's 3.5 anniversary, this month-long celebration runs from July 1-30. The star attraction? Those adorable Surfboard Keychain Decor Pikmin you can earn by completing special challenges. Along the way, you'll collect valuable Sea Glass, flower petals, and of course those precious seedlings to grow your own surf-ready Pikmin crew.

Catch the waves (and rewards)

The Sea Glass collection quest offers more than just bragging rights. Cash in your sparkling haul for cool summer outfits for your Mii avatar and seedlings for the sweet treat-themed Ice Cream Classic Decor Pikmin. Just remember - like sand through an hourglass, these seasonal items vanish when the event ends!

Mushroom mayhem at the beach

Keep your eyes peeled for Seafoam Mushrooms! These special event mushrooms drop mystery boxes packed with goodies when defeated, including more precious Sea Glass. Pro tip: Those Surfboard and Ice Cream Pikmin you're collecting? They deal extra damage to these aquatic fungi, so prioritize growing your beach squad.

The weekends bring even bigger challenges with Giant Seafoam Mushrooms that offer rare rewards. Team up with friends using the limited-time Mushroom Battle Bullhorn feature to take down these colossal crustaceans together. It's the perfect way to make a splash this summer!

What better way to enjoy those (occasional) sunny days than with this ocean-sized Pikmin adventure? Whether you're relaxing in your garden or commuting to work, you can bring those beach vacation vibes wherever you go. Just don't forget the sunscreen!
