Another important thing to know is that rock pikmin will ALWAYS die from being crushed if they are frozen!

It really feels logical which ones crush and which ones don't. Almost all of these I could successfully guess what was gonna happen to them. The only ones I was unsure about ended up being survived, which is cool.

The second crush at 0:51 wasn't for science, it was juste pure cruelty

its so painfull for me hearing rock pikmin meet theyre demise

Dosnt squishing rock Pikmin on a hard surface hard like hell if the creature uses itself to squish it? I feel like it should do like a bit of chip damage

Huh…these kinds of things are actually quite a bit more rare than I initially thought. Though, it’s still a bit of a nitpick that bugs me quite a bit when it involves a soft-bodied enemy crushing a rock Pikmin on a hard surface. If anything, they should do small piercing damage to the soft enemy that tries to squish them on a hard surface. The exception to this would be enemies with armor on them, the Waterwraith, and hard, stone-like projectiles crushing rocks on hard surfaces. Also, if it’s in the case of ice, the ice would just shatter from the impact, drowning non-aquatic creatures, and also your rock Pikmin.

moral of the story: if the area is mostly grass, dirt, or carpet, anywhere is probably safe

Shows rock pikmin nerf is not that big of a deal & I never had rock pikmin death from that after 100% the game, so I’m very glad 😎

They can't burry in stone but can burry in metal. Yeah, makes total sense.

1:06 So Rocks don’t crush But ice does??

This feels illegal to watch

Here’s a list of all the crushable surfaces that Rock Pikmin can die or not die in. Grass: Buried Dying Grass: Buried Mossy Grass: Buried Dirt: Buried Coarse Dirt: Buried Loose Dirt: Buried Rocky Dirt: Buried Mud: Buried Wet Mud: Buried Wood: Buried Wooden Tiles: Buried Gravel: Buried Stone: Buried Stoney Gravel: Buried Mossy Stone: Buried Bricks: Buried Sand: Buried White Sand: Buried Hardened Sand: Buried Aluminum: Buried Rusted Aluminum: Buried Carpet (Fabric): Buried Foam Material: Buried Floor Mats (Foam): Buried Bath Mats (Foam): Buried Wool: Buried Plastic: Buried Ice: Crushed Ceramic Tiles: Crushed Stone Tiles: Crushed Stone Pebbles: Crushed Fibreglass: Crushed Hard Tiles: Crushed Bonus: Rock Pikmin can die ANYWHERE from crushing if Frozen/Iced. Note: The person in this video repeats some materials and I won’t count them as they have already been counted.

Wollyhop

Nintendo might need to nerf these guys (again)

This is definitely a downgrade and i hate it, rocks are now terrible since it depends where you are if rocks are gonna be crushed or not BUT YOU GET THEIR ONIONS LIKE AT THE END OF THE GAME ASWELL but still they do some damage, but i definitely hate this they ruined rocks and winged in 4 hopefully rocks will get better, winged will, but i have a feeling glows will cease to exist while ice pikmin are completely trash and useless like you dont need them. Edit: OKAY SO I KNOW I’M BEING LIKE “oh thats terrible turn it back!!” but i just love rock pikmin they’re the best (in my opinion) but still fair they got nerfed
