If you want to unlock everything to play around with in Pikmin Bloom, you’ll need to level up. The only way to level up is to earn steps — literally, just walking. You don’t have to walk distance, because Pikmin Bloom counts your literal steps. That’s a complete reversal from Pokemon GO, Niantic’s massive social monster collecting game. You can walk while standing still and earn plenty of steps. Yes, this is one game you can actually play on a treadmill.
And you just might need it, because if you want to unlock all the features of Pikmin Bloom, you need to reach at least Level 19. Once you hit Level 19, you’ll have unlocked all the features — you can continue to level up, all the way to 100, but you won’t earn any new major Pikmin or bonus features. If you really want to see everything Pikmin Bloom has to offer, you need to fulfill the following requirements.
