Wow, it only took me two years to make this video! The Pikmin 3 minimum Pikmin challenge is as difficult as it is rewarding, and I definitely recommend this it to anyone who loves this game.

I love how every Pikmin plot has a logical reason to grow as few Pikmin as possible. It justified these challenges brilliantly.

I appreciate avoiding sequence breaks if they don't inherently save on the minimum Pikmin required. Makes the challenge more about playing through the game proper (other than the 20 yellow skip in Distant Tundra) with as few Pikmin as possible, rather than using glitches to circumvent any challenges that would be posed by doing a minimum run of Pikmin 3.

@potatoe972 Жыл бұрын

Well the sequence break they mentioned in the garden of hope revisit would’ve saved a blue Pikmin, and with the candypop buds in formidable oak could’ve saved an entire Pikmin being created. Hmmm… what would happen if you got Pikmin without the blue onion? It is possible.

Note for the wall sealing off Brittany's second landing spot: Winged Pikmin are immune to crushing, meaning you have 17 pikmin that you can enter the room with, that won't be killed by the rolling rock. If you leave one captain outside, with the other colors, you can use those 16 without worrying about one getting stuck.

@nyon7209 Жыл бұрын

1) It's the Plasm Wraith, not Shaggy Longlegs, that they aren't immune to. I double checked this just to be sure, but they are immune to Longlegs. 2) No, even if they're already on the ground, they're immune to crushing. I just double checked that with a Wollywog. It jumped, knocking the winged pikmin off it, and then jumped a second time, landing on the winged pikmin before it got up. Even if it were true, there are very few circumstances where this becomes relevant. 3) Neither of those change the circumstances with the rolling ball, which you could safely drop if only they or rock pikmin were stuck in the wall.

Pikmin 3's minimum Pikmin challenge is quite unique in that, unlike the first two, the number is not decided by a heaviest thing to carry, like Pikmin 1's Gluon Drive (or Secret Safe if JP version) or Pikmin 2's Doomsday Apparatus. In fact, no object, obstacle, or enemy ever requires more than 20 Pikmin to collect/use/destroy/defeat/etc. You could hypothetically play while only ever having 20 Pikmin out at a time at max (tho this wouldn't bring down the number of how many Pikmin you grew). The number is instead dictated by how many Pikmin you are forced to be given by the Story.
