Honestly I really like how the side story characterizes Olimar and Louie’s relationship. It shows how much Olimar really wants to be a mentor and lead Louie down the right path, but Louie still wants to act the way he does even if it constantly gets him in danger and trouble.
Honestly Louie does care about Olimar, he just doesn’t think straight or really socialize well it doesn’t help that Olimar is a bit more nasty to him than he was in Pikmin 2. Like Louie comments in Pikmin 4 that Olimar doesn’t get mad at him when he screws up, so when Olimar yells at him in 3 Louie bails on him because he thought he could trust Olimar. I definitely feel by the events of Pikmin 3 Olimar and especially Louie were getting sick of this damn planet and we’re getting over worked especially with the implication that Olimar and Louie were shipped back out to the planet after Louie was rescued in 2. With the president taking a vacation afterwards.
@@BigBoy257 I think it says a lot about their relationship that it’s implied that Olimar immediately wanted to go back to the pikmin planet to rescue him considering the President says “What there’s more treasure out there?” When we see Olimar telling him something, it’s possible that Olimar wanted to drop everything even spending time with his family to rescue Louie.
Well it’s more of a answer about that scene after the credits in Pikmin 3 Since it’s been a mystery for 7 years until Nintendo finally gave us that answer in the Switch port of the game
I like to imagine that Louie getting left behind was a joke, I mean, the president probably wouldn't want to get a lawsuit from Louie's family, I'm assuming they eventually returned for him after a while.
@@Mr.Feather130Unfortunately, the retcon is still there, since Louie is on that pod. Plus, the final voyage log from alph STILL says they left Louie behind.
@@Mr.Feather130 But it made no sense. That scene was supposed to lead into a new game but then they decided "nope we're not doing that for Pikmin 4 now". Also they lied right to our face with what that scene was depicting. We see Pikmin clearly running towards the crashing ship but then Olimar said the Pikmin got scared and ran away when he crashed?????
I wound up streaming the Side Stories and I said by the end of it they were basically everything I wanted out of a “Pikmin 3” when I was a kid. And while I still love the main story, I stand by those feelings, it just feels nice to play as Olimar & Louie again.
this mode forgot that they had an arctic variation of the baldy long legs in assignment level four and therefore it is my swore enemy for comedic value
I feel that the biggest drawback with this mode is that it’s mostly just a rehash from the mission mode since most of it is just collecting fruits and battling enemies, which sucks because the new objectives such as having to reunite the captains are never expanded upon to make a unique challenge other than carrying the ship part but as you said the pikmin always take the same path so even then it’s kind of just a waste
3:03 I think something you should also mention is that you can hear the voice of the plasm wraith and heavy metallic footsteps before the cutscene ends
Something I liked in Olimar's Comeback is in the last level when fighting the long legs the music is a remixed version of the Pikmim 1 title screen. It's small but it's a nice little callback, especially with the yellow baldy making me think it's supossed to be the beady from 1 and 2
after playing pikmin 4 feels weird seeing 11:02 and not seeing olimar say something along the lines "I'm sorry pikmin...." Honestly one of my major annoyances with pikmin 4 were all the unecessary character dialogue telling you to use items, when you get low on health or lose more than 2 pikmin at once. I did find it interesting how if you try to use an ice bomb or lightning shock on the waterwraith, russ shows a surprised face dialogue saying something along the lines of "Ridiculous! not even the lightning shock works??"
Even if the execution wasn't the best, i'm glad Olimar's Comeback had a big role involving the Hocotate Freight ship. In Pikmin 3, the normal one, i was kinda sad seeing the ship trashed on the Mireclops' arena, especially if we have in mind that the ship has a personality. This game mode is also the last time we ever know about said ship because in Pikmin 4 it could be the reason why Louie is on PNF-404 but we never see it, and it's not even mentioned. I may just miss it because i'm a tryhard Pikmin 2 fan, or just because i main Olimar in Smash Bros; but if Pikmin 4 ever gets a DLC then i hope the ship re-appears.
the sidestories were honestly so cool to me. depending on what pikmin 4 is in the canon (ffs we still do not have a definitive answer its so annoying) the side stories are technically the end of the original trilogy’s canon.
Definitely since Olimar's comeback is a definitive end to the og trilogy and now we're at the Revival Trilogy for the Pikmin series starting with Pikmin 4 which felt like a fresh new start to the franchise
I’ve seen somewhere that Pikmin 4 is after 1 and 2, but before 3. Olimar just pretends to have forgotten everything to avoid the embarrassment of crashing on the same planet so many times. I like to think of that as the canon
pikmin 4 makes more sense if you consider 2, 3, and 4 to all be different timelines instead of a continuation of the same timeline pikmin 2 is all treasures from pikmin 1, pikmin 3 is only essential parts, pikmin 4 is failure to get the parts its not perfect but I feel it helps, helps explain 'retconning' too if its just a different timeline with slightly different events
I still liked these side modes all the same, I'll never say no to more Pikmin content. The original Pikmin 3 was already pretty content heavy, and most ports don't usually add much to their base games, so it still felt like a treat regardless
I was so excited about the long-legs in the final level, because I _thought_ that was intended to be the return of Beady Long Legs (who has been absent ever since they replaced him with Baldy Long Legs) but NOPE it doesn't even have an official name and is basically just a palette swap. I was so disappointed. :(
This mode is why I’m okay with Pikmin 4 being a timeline reset for the series, as this serves as a natural conclusion to Olimar’s battle against his greatest enemy: Inability to properly pilot
I'm still mad about it because it means Olimar never got his S.S. Dolphin back If they _are_ going to timeline reset the series, I would like for it to at least end on a nice bookend like that
@@ToaderTheToadIf it makes you feel any better, Olimar and Louie most likely brought back enough treasure at the end of Olimar's Comeback for Olimar to buy back the S.S. Dolphin. After all, he suggests once or twice throughout the game that he intends to buy it back with whatever leftover money they have.
@@PSIkid That's fair, but it makes me wonder why he didn't buy it back at the end of 2 since it's probably canon that they collected more treasures before they rescued Louie, like most people do once they recover the debt and unlock the Wistful Wild
For the "carry the ship part" mission and its multiple paths make me rhink it was supposed to have the pikmin follow one captain in the same way brittany was in the formidable oak chase sequence Like louie would clear out a path for olimar and the pikmin to go through. It could even have some story potential like olimar taking the opportunity to train louie on dandori. Plus it would've been cool to see that mechanic reused
I remember the first four of these missions. The other ten you mentioned I did not remember at all. Made me think I didn't unlock it or something. Just now I booted up Pikmin 3 Deluxe and I had platinum on every mission. You mentioning that the last ten have really easy timers makes me wonder if I only struggled with platinum on the first four and that's why I remember them.
Considering they are actually just a pallet swap I don't think Nintendo would go through the effort to do that But I do think that the fact that they are gold and appear in the plasm wrath arena is meant to suggest that
The Side Stories were honestly my favourite part of Pikmin 3 Deluxe. When I was younger, I dreamed of an alternate mode where you could play as Olimar and Louie during the events of Pikmin 3, and the Deluxe version gave me exactly what I wanted! Some might call them underwhelming, but I really appreciated the new music, the little bits of characterisation for Olimar and co. and how the epilogue tied up several loose ends from the original game. Lastly, the fact that Olimar's Comeback is technically the canonical end of the Pikmin storyline after Pikmin 4 threw everything in the trash gives it some sentimental value to me. Side note: I'm pretty sure the missions in the epilogue where you collect fruit were orders from the President, since Olimar and Louie were originally sent back to PNF-404 to repay a second debt in Olimar's Assignment, and the treasure hunting missions in the epilogue are just them gathering up any additional treasures/fruits they can find.
I think that the sidestories being baby mode is a good thing, it gives newcomers basically a practice mode for the cruelty of Challenge Mode platinum medals It just sucks it's the only extra contnent in this 7-year-old-at-the-time game, us Pikmin fans and especially Wii U double dippers got not a lot of substantial content out of it
I think this game mode would've been made so much better if they kept the quirky map layout variants but made it a traditional campaign, even if it's smaller. Or maybe make it a campaign in the Bingo Battle and Mission Mode maps. Pikmin 3's Mission Mode was just so fun compared to literally everything else that making this Mission Mode 2 just felt shallow.
The reason you only get one secret cutscene is probably to advertise mii verse in order to make people obtain the other cutscenes by getting the codes from other players
The President calling the pikmin "employees" is one of my favorite silly little flavor choices. Technically speaking, they are employees, as the ability for them to continue living by having assistance collecting nutrients means they are in fact getting compensation, just under a non-monetary lens.
El único problema de las side stories es que parece que fue hecho con lo mismo con lo que esperaban que fuera jugado: con los pies. De verdad, es tan fácil que ni siquiera para mi yo de hace 10 años hubiera sido un reto superar (excepto tal vez el último nivel). Aunque debo decir que me gustó que trajeran nueva música con los niveles, sobre todo porque tienen vibras tanto de pikmin 2 como de pikmin 3
Hmm, if only there was someone in the community that makes mods and adds more content into Pikmin 3 Deluxe’s Side Stories, Mission, and now a custom story mode. 🤔🤔🤔 *Allow me to introduce myself.* 😃 Solid video by the way, i loved the side stories, it’s what inspired me to start modding Pik3 in the first place!
without watching it fully, im just goin to say its forgotten because its...well, its just mission mode but with a...somewhat taped together story i guess
Every time I see the ending cutscene to comeback all I can think is that it looks like it was made in garry's mod. Something about it just looks..... wrong.
I haven't used Rocks in The Ship Restored since my first attempt. Saw speedrunners ignore the candy pop bud and just swarm the feet of the Calcified Crushblat to save time so I copied them and restart if it kills anything.
Honestly I really don’t like how 3 handled Olimar and Louie, at least moreso Olimar, Louie was handled fine and the worst thing I can say is that the thing that would’ve explained why he bailed on the Koppaites was cut. Olimar in this is kind of a callous idiot, a far cry from how he was in 1 and 2. Personally I kind of wish Olimar and Louie were not present in the games story mode to the extent that they were and that mission mode was their own story, have it be Olimar and Louie going on some sort of research expedition for Hocotate and they’re also collecting treasure because the president is greedy. I also think it would’ve been nice to give them a new captain to make them a trio weither it could be Olimar’s son to fully match the Koppaite trios color scheme and finally see one of Olimar’s family physically in the series or a brand new Hocotation. Also yea, I feel the President doesn’t see the Pikmin as companions like Olimar and to a lesser extent Louie. Hell I feel he only went on the Louie rescue mission to get more treasure.
I played Pikmin 3 all the way through, but I don't remember a thing about it. Sometimes I want to buy another copy for the switch, but then you make a video and put those urges to rest.
I play the side stories quite a lot - they’re meh in terms of plot, but they’re really replayable in the same way as the regular mission modes are. Regular mission modes are pretty fun to optimise, and this is just more elaborate mission mode with new challenges, with a vague story over the top for no reason
Did you get a new microphone or pop filter between the last video and this one? The sound quality sounds a good bit better! It didn't sound bad before or anything, but your voice definitely sounds a bit softer (or maybe im tripping lmao)
The sidestory was very lame to me. They should have bought back the missing area, purple and white pikmin, and the beady long legs should have been more than yellow recolors of the baldly long legs. On that topic, they kinda just have Olimar ane louie just fight beady long legges for no reason.
I wonder if is worth to buy the Deluxe version to play the side stories and dlc stages for the mission mode because I already own the Wii U version and games here in Brazil are expensive
@@nintavito546 *YAY* that is *SO WONDERFUL NEWS* meow meow did U get your *NINTENDO OFFICIAL OATCHI ALL-STAR PLUSHIE DOLL* yet ... ?

this mode forgot that they had an arctic variation of the baldy long legs in assignment level four and therefore it is my swore enemy for comedic value
They don't have official names but the Pikmin Wiki refers to both of them as just "Golden Long Legs".
i thought they were just references to the beady and the raging long legs respectively
I have heard "Golden Arachnorb" before
I feel that the biggest drawback with this mode is that it’s mostly just a rehash from the mission mode since most of it is just collecting fruits and battling enemies, which sucks because the new objectives such as having to reunite the captains are never expanded upon to make a unique challenge other than carrying the ship part but as you said the pikmin always take the same path so even then it’s kind of just a waste
seemingly the last louie cutscene is STILL lost media. i hope someone was fired for that blunder.

He actually does say things if Pikmin die, it was just off
So does Louie
Kind of a insignificant nitpick ngl. Pikmin 3 does do this, it was either delayed or not triggered here
Even if the execution wasn't the best, i'm glad Olimar's Comeback had a big role involving the Hocotate Freight ship.

11:10 what if we called these forgotten bosses “The Goldy long legs” and “The shaggy Long Locks”?
in the files they are both called super gay long legs #the pride month
thank you this will cure my cripplling pikmin addiction, i was beforehand suffering from pikmin deficency.
The only thing I remembered about that mode is that Louie’s playable
I still liked these side modes all the same, I'll never say no to more Pikmin content. The original Pikmin 3 was already pretty content heavy, and most ports don't usually add much to their base games, so it still felt like a treat regardless
BEST VIDEO EVER(it was uploaded like 15 seconds ago)

I LOVED the side stories. They were like mission mode levels with bits of lore.
i am watching this at work do not tell the boss
hello mr boss sir your stinky lazy employee is watching a known propoganda channel
Same
(The President of Hocotate Freight would like to know your location)
EYY BOSS!!!!!
They were probably testing the new camera angle to see if it worked well enough to be the basis of Pikmin 4’s camera
The side stories is such a underappreciated mode in Pikmin 3 Deluxe which had been overshadowed by the more well known mission mode stuff in the game
This mode is why I’m okay with Pikmin 4 being a timeline reset for the series, as this serves as a natural conclusion to Olimar’s battle against his greatest enemy: Inability to properly pilot
But there’s some people who think Pikmin 4 takes place after 1&2 but before the events of 3
Okay but like…

But I do think that the fact that they are gold and appear in the plasm wrath arena is meant to suggest that
Side Stories was probably one of the best parts of Pikmin 3 for Me shame people see them as nothing
The golden long legs looked so amateurly modded its hilarious.
The bootleg long legs was honesty the most noteable part of the two modes
This mode would have been crazy if they used the bingo battle stages to simulate to cave exploring from Pikmin 2. Going through multiple sub levels.
The Side Stories were honestly my favourite part of Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

I actually playthrough the Side Stories as well when I replay Pikmin 3 now, I dont really forget em myself personally
I didn't forget about them. I heard people talk about it when it came out.
The fact I just started playing the extra content of Pikmin 3 (specially Olimar’s Comeback). Since after beating it, I got interested.
You gotta appreciate the boss music for the last mission though, those Pikmin 1 references are hype
Not the Golden Shaggy Longlegs slander. 😭
It's LEGIT my favourite Pikmin enemy.
Imonlyhereforimoblyhereforpikmin
11:13 That shaggy long legs looks modded.
I think this game mode would've been made so much better if they kept the quirky map layout variants but made it a traditional campaign, even if it's smaller. Or maybe make it a campaign in the Bingo Battle and Mission Mode maps. Pikmin 3's Mission Mode was just so fun compared to literally everything else that making this Mission Mode 2 just felt shallow.
The reason you only get one secret cutscene is probably to advertise mii verse in order to make people obtain the other cutscenes by getting the codes from other players
I'm getting real tired of Nintendo's absolute phobia of challenging the player. They're do terrified of allowing the player to fail.
What'd you expect from side stories in a game where the main story is "we gotta find this dude and ask for our car keys back?"
I've heard the baldy long legs variant called the "Goldy Long Legs" but I never heard anything similar to the shaggy variant
pikmin "tree"

The real question is why play this stuff when you can just go play mission mode?
I would like to see the marble battle remade in a different game.
Why did we not get online bingo battle?
The sidestory was very lame to me. They should have bought back the missing area, purple and white pikmin, and the beady long legs should have been more than yellow recolors of the baldly long legs. On that topic, they kinda just have Olimar ane louie just fight beady long legges for no reason.
There was a pikmin 3?
Excuse me, Mr. Simpson. In the Pikmin CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the Beady Long Legs' key?
Pikmin tree 😂
I wonder if is worth to buy the Deluxe version to play the side stories and dlc stages for the mission mode because I already own the Wii U version and games here in Brazil are expensive

What if Pikmin was called Freakmin, and you played as Freakimar instead of Olimar?
Pikmin 3's real challenge is not being a disappointment.
