Pikmin series

Pikmin is the name of a video game series developed by Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube platform. The games feature small, multi-colored creatures known as Pikmin which resemble different colored tiny people with a stalk ontop of their head from which a leaf, bud, or flower sits. The hero of the games, Captain Olimar, in addition to his partner in the second game, Louie, command the Pikmin in battles with larger creatures residing on the same planet. The advantage to the Pikmin usually comes in numbers, as a single Pikmin can easily be defeated by a larger foe, and the Pikmin stand little chance without a commander.
