Pikmin 2 is widely considered an improvement over the previous title, receiving universal acclaim from reviewers.

60 FPS
Pikmin 2 normally runs at 30 FPS but can render at 60 with the following Action Replay code. 60 FPS rendering breaks cut-scenes, so the effect can be adjusted via the D-pad: a right-press on the D-pad triggers 60 FPS, while a left-press on the D-pad reverts to 30 FPS.

These results can be swapped by exchanging  and   in the code, if desired. The current button assignment makes gameplay more consistent with the Wii version, since:
 * Ideally one would press the button for 60 FPS more frequently than the button for 30 FPS.
 * D-pad right in the GC version cycles through Pikmin types in the same order as B on the Wiimote (the only button to cycle through Pikmin in the Wii version):
