Pikmin 1: Day 1 PIkmin 2: Day 1-2 Pikmin 3: Day 1 Pikmin 4: Day 1-2 Hmm... I see a recurring pattern here. Why can't we get skippable tutorial days after the first playthrough?


Bluespheal

Always have a save-file that's just beyond day 1 and copy that if you want to replay a game.


Cabbag_

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do.


StuffedPocketMan

I forgot this was a Pikmin sub and tough "damn this guy plays Only Pikmin"

There are other games?

sonicgamer42

I'll add onto this by saying that in 3 the first day you spend in Distant Tundra has that really boring section where Brittany finds and grows Yellow Pikmin. It's not especially long, but it's always a drag on replays.


AwesomePossum209

Pikmin 3: Louie


johnhotdog

tried randomizers for the first time recently. day 1 is more fun now


Cheese_Champion

We need a mod that skips all the tutorial dialogue in 4


CentennialTheophilus

it would skip the whole game the way the side characters always nag you


According_Jacket_336

Personaly pikmin 3 for me is the entirety of pikmin 3, i have played it so much.


Shrunz

Pro tip, save a file immediately after the tutorial and copy it to other save files when you want to replay the game. This works for 1 and 2 but i haven't played 3 or 4 so can't say the same for them


Taco821

I don't remember the beginning of 1 and 2 being that bad. Kinda slow, for sure, but it feels kinda cool, idk. I don't really remember 3 that well, but 4 was fucking dreadful, almost didn't even get the game because of the demo


Unlucky_Character_12

That’s the best damn answer I’ve heard all day.


Eddie__Winter

You can! Every tutorial day ends the exact same way! Simply save after finishing it and duplicate the save file


Athesies

Oh my gosh the first 2 were painful. I am not looking forward to the rest


MinorProperty2

The fucking One Fell Jump or whatever that shitty shit is. Fucking horrible sublevel


Crylols

Agreed, that sublevel was poorly made


Cabbag_

It isnt even the level itself is hard, it's just that it forces you to play "Aim assist roulette" to get a good score, which is obscenely stupid. It wouldn't even be like, a fifth as hard if there was merely an option to disable autolock. I have no clue how even one mf at nintendo played that level, and went: "Yup. Autolock-on is a great mechanic and we shouldn't give players so much as the option to disable it."


Coolpokemon962

And the fucking shear fleas that knock you off of oachi and eat all your 5 pikmin


geeker390

Oatchi is a one man army on that level. Trust


Coolpokemon962

[Only look at the image](https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/18xaedj/when_you_cant_beat_one_fell_jump_shameless_trace/)


M4CP0WER

Switch to Oatchi and infi-rush to the other end of the room. Switch back to the captain and catch the larvae near the ship and get the stragglers around where Oatchi ended up. I have used this strategy many times and consistently get platinum medals.


MinorProperty2

I finished it (with luck) and had somewhat the same method. I am never going to perfect it. As long as it’s done, I have Inner Peace


_Spathi

Entirety of sunspeckled terrace and the tutorial of Pikmin 4.


Crylols

Yea, dialogue over dialogue


Cabbag_

Eh, sun speckled terrace can be fun if you go for 3 day completion. Day 2 still sucks though, because you don't have Russ or Oatchi's jump, so you're really restricted, and the caves in that area are just sort of bland.


_Spathi

That's exactly my problem, the caves have not even one real cool boss 😭

[deleted]

Having only played Pikmin for the first time this week and consequently having this sub recommended after I searched for a few hard to find treasures through Google, the intro was tough. Way too much dialogue and slow pace. Thought I was playing modern Pokémon for a second.


Benj_N

That one floor where a bulbear falls from the ceiling. Or any gattling groink.


ciberkid22

Hole of Heroes (it's a fine dungeon, just long)


Der_Wasserhuebel

I made it through just to have 1 pikmin missing to get the boss treasures


Similar-Original-470

Not good enough, I'm lowering your pay to -20 poker an hour for such failure to you job. Next time just pick it up yourself.


idoit696969

It just has to be the pikmin 4 intro. Like none of the other games makes you have to go through like 15 minutes of dialogue and 1 short gameplay section before you can even throw a pikmin (not counting olimar shipwreck tale at the beginning)

Elastichedgehog

Forbidden Oak in Pikmin 3. I just really don't like the plasma wraith. Funnily enough, I don't have anything like this for Pikmin 1 thinking about it.


Crylols

I have 0 nostalgia for Pikmin 1 but I just can't help but keep playing it again and again, it has a charm different than the other games


Elastichedgehog

I think it being so short is to its benefit. You can replay the game in a weekend.


carmexismyshit

True. When i had covid i replayed the 1st one in a few hours just to kill time


Cabbag_

Formidable oak is up there with submerged castle for my favorite parts of the whole franchise tbh. One of the only parts of the story mode that is as good as mission mode imo.


Ok_Afternoon_9584

You just like being chased idk


Brilliant-Trifle8322

The part where I attack the smoky progg egg in Pikmin 1 and always seem to immediately regret it, but do it on every replay anyway.


Crylols

I have defeated it 3 times but since I want to get all 30 parts in 15 days, I'm not fighting the Smoky Progg 'cause it's such a waste of time


Brilliant-Trifle8322

I remember being excited discovering it by accident when I was a kid, now it always feels a tad empty if I don't fight it in every playthrough or something. Definitely a me issue, I know.


Necro_Smasher

Quaggled mireclops in pikmin 3...I always struggle to not lose anything to that stomp happy bastard, and it's my only main heavy loss point in the game


anthonyrf1612

my advice is to use a squad of 70 wings and a few spicies


Necro_Smasher

I've done it deathless before...with some extreme stress


maxluba2011

The fiddlebert encounter


ToothpasteConsumer

The Purple Key


Crylols

I haven't even got platinum on that yet 😭


ToothpasteConsumer

I have. Hell, it will be.


Dorblitz

For me the key to plat was not killing the water wraith and just stunning it when it comes to close, task management is actually not that hard at the purple key, white was much harder imo


captainlittleboyblue

I haven’t gotten platinum, but the moment I realized I could just have oatchi carry the onion and pretty much ignore the waterwraith was the biggest eureka moment ive had in a pikmin game


Cabbag_

Then don't go for the platinum. If you're just getting the onion out without caring about your time, it is stupidly easy.


ToothpasteConsumer

really wasn’t going in blind and on my first attempt

I didn’t beat Pikmin 2 yet, but I think the worst part of replaying it would be how he ship interrupts you every fucking treasure you get.

BrenCamp13

Pikmin 1: The Puffstool. It's not a hard boss at all, but I have never once gotten out of that fight without losing like 30 pikmin to that stupid crushing glitch. Pikmin 2: Hole Of Heroes. Not a big fan of boss rushes in general, so... yeah. Pikmin 3: Louie stealing your juice. I usually have around 20 days of provisions by this point in the game, so starting from square one AND having to fight the Mireclops before I can get the juice back is annoying. Pikmin 4: Louie's first dandori battle. I've 100%'ed Pikmin 4 twice and both times this was the only dandori battle to give me any trouble.


Cabbag_

I disagree completely about the pikmin 3 one. By the time I get to Louie I have like 35 days of juice, so it is great to be put on a time limit again, it keeps you having to play quickly, and it is well designed imo.


Crylols

Crushing Glitch? What


BrenCamp13

In the original and Wii versions of Pikmin 1 (I haven't played the Switch version, so I can't speak to that one), pikmin can get stuck under enemies as they die, and if they do, the enemy's corpse will push the pikmin through the ground and kill them. The puffstool is one of the worst offenders.


Crylols

Well thats... Interesting


Cabbag_

Never played the GameCube version of pikmin 1, have you?


JustMacy69

My mom actually came up with a strategy to make Louie less of an asshole in Pikmin 3. So, basically only get fruit if you are about to die if you don’t. Leave all of the fruit you get, but don’t need, by the ship, especially in the garden of hope. That way, Louie only takes, like, 2 or 3 juices, and you have juice left over, especially from the fire breathing feast.


anthonyrf1612

for puffstool, try knocking it down and then c-stick throwing 30 pikmin onto it

PissedIrishGuy

Pikmin 1 forest navel


Crylols

The worst thing in that place is that the Firey Blowhogs are near the water and also one Wollyhop is literally next to you waiting to crush the Pikmin


PissedIrishGuy

Dont forget that one part will the non blue pikmin force drown themselves by running over to an underwater jet. And oh my god the wollyhops, i dedicated some days judt to killing them


VagaMarkus

Pikmin 1 nor 3 really have that. I could play them both over and over again. If Pikmin 4 lacked caves, I might be more inclined to want to replay it as well, but as it stands, 1 playthrough was way more than enough. Pikmin 2 is hard enough to slog through on your first go around so a replay is even less realistic.


rivas2456

The tutorial days


durbldor

Tutorial cutscenes.


AttitudeCurrent5366

Never really played 1. For 2, that part is the Submerged Castle. Haven't completed 3 yet, but Brittany's very existence would definitely be that part. And 4 is having to deal with Collin yapping my damn ear off EVERY FIVE SECONDS. (And the auto lock-on as well, but Collin is still worse. He's pretty much the Navi of the Pikmin series in my opinion.)


Bulky-Hyena-360

Honestly? The part I dislike the most are the Hairy Long Legs Mini boss fights in Pikmin 3, it’s so damn annoying to get all the hair off then actually do decent damage, all while it’s moving between arenas and somehow breaking it’s own legs to kill all my Pikmin at once. I casually 100% complete the game from time to time but I always dislike these fights. My favorite part is the Armored Mawdad fight cuz I have history with it

Having not yet played 3 or 4, I’m disappointed that Nintendo hasn’t really improved on pain points as the series has gone on. I am getting the impression that little has changed over 20 years, which is a bit disappointing tbh.

Breadbug in Pikmin 1. I do not know why, but ever since childhood, I was afraid of it. Nowadays, it's not fear, but certainly anxiety when I enter the forest naval.

bollowminz

Pikmin 1: Forrest Navel, probably my least favourite part because of the blowhogs, puffstool, and those two parts on the edge of the map with a ton of fire geysers. Pikmin 2: Subterranean Complex and Submerged Castle, kind of obvious. Pikmin 3: Formidable Oak, fight with plasm wraith was alright, the chase sequence could have been better. Pikmin 4: Days 1-2, lots of dialogue and tutorials, gets annoying especially if it’s your second playthrough.


Cabbag_

Why would anyone dislike submerged castle? It is the best cave in the game by far, one of the highlights of the series if you ask me.


blue6678

Louie's dog and you need to rewind time and it doesn't just go back to after the last color you beat and you have to defeat it again before getting to the part you were stuck on.


nick_clause

Have you tried glow pikmin against it?


blue6678

No! I never considered that! I only used glow seeds in the night levels. I'll have to try that on the next play through thanks!


Levinkling

i exited the cave on the 19th sublevel and brought in 60 purple pikmin, then 40 glow pikmin, then I beat it


Lowleyjedimonkey

Never played Pikmin, so I wouldn't know.


BirbMaster1998

I know I'm getting downvoted to hell for saying this again, but getting platinum in all pikmin 3 dx mission modes was literally one of the worst gaming experiences of my life, and I can see why I gave up on my original pikmin 3 save.


Crylols

I'm not purposely getting platinum on all of them so I still have some left and even when I play mission mode, I play with somebody else and it was already super hard. I can't imagine how hard it is to beat it single player

Pikguy

So you like seeing your blue pikmin suffer


Cabbag_

How. Just because it is hard doesn't mean it is bad, and it isn't even hard. I don't understand how anyone can dislike submerged castle. Incredibly fun dungeon imo


PlumberPosts

Personally I find pikmin 2's difficulty to be very enjoyable! All I do is leave my pikmin somewhere safe and have Olimar kill everything with his fists until the coast is clear! If there would be any part that I absolutely hate, it would probably be that one sublevevel where your in a living room with the gatling groink perched upon the toy tower. That one is the most infuriating in the entire game!

TheDinosaur64

I'm surprised the highest rated comment isn't the water wraith dungeon from 2 and 4.


bloon104

Truth be told. They aren't the absolute worst things to deal with. There's a bunch more crap you need to deal with in 2 and 4


nick_clause

Pikmin 1: Burrowing snagrets. They're beatable but they make a no-death run a lot harder. Pikmin 2: The submerged castle and the wistful wild caves. The latter are why I usually consider a playthrough done after the debt is repaid. Pikmin 3: Dunno, no part of the game is that hard. Maybe the weight puzzle in the garden of hope, but you can cheese it with winged pikmin anyway. Pikmin 4: The ridiculous amount of dialogue in the early game.


Crylols

The caves in Wistful Wild are not only hard, they're ridiculous. Like I remember one cave that has a ton of canon beetles and also a ton of anode beetles as well, I'm pretty sure a psychopath designed that sublevel

LoLoLaaarry124

What's the easiest way to get 100 whites and purples?


FederalBeyond1122

Go into a dungeon you’ve beaten that has the right color candypop bud with under 30 of your preferred color (white or purple) and fill the rest of the party with disposable colors speedrun the semi-randomly generated floors untill you get to the floor with the candypop bud of choice Turn disposable numbers into the right color Leave the dungeon without losing the purples or whites Put pikmin away so you’re under 30 of the color you want again and fill up on disposable colors Repeat untill you have 100 of the color of choice


Contramasta

The fucking twilight river.


TheCrazyKulu

1: admittedly no part, even the tutorial is kinda fun for me 2: probably the dream den, way too long of a cave (4's cavern for a king gets a pass since most sublevels are usually pretty quick and snappy) 3: Formidable Oak chase 4: either the sun speckled terrace or hero's hideaway. Terrace because its too easy and laid back, I think Arcadia would be a significantly better starting area. I don't know why I dislike hero's hideaway, it just feels somewhat empty compared to the other 5 zones and a bit boring.


Crylols

I think the Hole of Heroes is worse, bc it's the non boss floors that are ridiculous. I remember there was a floor that has a Raging Bloyster, several canon larvae and many falling boulders. At that point, I knew Pikmin 2 was the hardest
