The red Pikmin is a downloadable headgear item in Animal Crossing: City Folk. This item acts as a hat, meaning an accessory can be worn with it. It is based on a leaf Red Pikmin from the Pikmin series.

The red Pikmin could be obtained in a letter from Nintendo if the player was connected to WiiConnect24 during the item's distribution period.

Letter

The following letter was sent alongside the red Pikmin:

North America

Dear <player>,

Look what bloomed in
celebration of spring's
beginning--a Pikmin hat!
It won't make you immune
to fire, but hopefully it'll
put a spring in your step!

Nintendo

Europe

Dear <player>,

I found this odd little hat
on my travels - it looks
just like one of the cute
creatures I've met in outer
space! Have fun wearing it!

From Captain Olimar
