i like to think that since the pikmin were going under before the events of 1, they thrived and got as massive as they were there, but the pikmin returning stifled their older population
No, loosing a Purple Pikmin is a great feeling, just launching that sucker at some unsuspecting veritable monster. Losing a Purple Pikmin though, that's terrible and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
You know, something i like about obliterating things with purples, is that sometimes the creatures skip their dying animation... So they just look alive one second, and the next they're deader than a door knob
I killed a dwarf bulbear with a purple Pikmin and it didn’t do its kill animation but just switched to being dead instantly. I thought it was pretty funny
@@buildermonkey2229 it has also become much more difficult to get Pikmin on top for large breadbugs. you either need the high ground or it has to lower it's face by making it drag an object.
man, been a fan of pikmin for like a decade and the titan dweevil still gives me massive goosebumps. one of if not the only boss fight/level/anything in a video game to elicit that reaction from me
I find it funny that, of the few enemies in Pikmin 2 that can’t be defeated by Purples in less than 15 seconds (give or take), one is the first boss in the game (the Empress Bulblax), another is the only enemy that is specifically coded to be weak to Purples (the Waterwraith), and another is the easiest end-game boss in the franchise (the Raging Long-Legs). (There are a few others (the Pileated Snagret, the Man-at-Legs (kinda), and the Titan Dweevik), but the fact that these are among them is hilarious to me.) Meanwhile, enemies that get completely bodied by Purples without even a chance to attack or escape include enemies that are supposed to defeated in a unique way rather than by Pikmin attacks (Breadbugs and the Giant Breadbug), enemies that are constantly covered in a hazard (the Fiery Bulblax), two enemies that are both deadly and persistent (Gatling Groinks and Spotty Bulbears), and the final boss of the previous game (the Emperor Bulblax).
you know a lot of people have criticized purple pikmin for being too overpowered, but i never really saw it that way. like yeah they are incredibly strong when it comes to fighting, but theyre also very rare to come by. you can only get maybe around 10 of them in caves, minus however many didnt survive the trip back. so you dont want to take them into combat too often and risk losing them, especially in a game where you can lose your entire army in a second if youre not too careful high reward yes, but also high risk
I can get behind bringing back the Pikmin 1-style health wheels, I always thought the transition between the colors looked cool and didn’t get in the way of communicating where the enemy’s health is at. That said, how come some of the particle effects like the ghost trails or the Snargret’s explosion plumes are removed?
Programmer: "So what's the final decision, Miyamoto-san. Should Purples have increased DPS, cause impact damage, make enemies flinch, or have a chance to stun them?" Miyamoto: "What do you mean 'or?' "
I just cant put my finger on what it is about pikmin 1 and 2's pikmin groups that i like more than 3 and 4 The way they move just looks less stiff. Like it doesnt look mechanical. They look like an actual swarm of ants moving and following you. None of the other games after 2 ever got that quite right.
This kinda shows the Switch(?) version is missing some textures, the snagret death animation is missing some particles, or is it because of your mod that removes the UI? Also, Man-At-Legs didn't play its death sound.
Ironically, the overpoweredness of Purple Pikmin actually make Pikmin 2 fair
I love how the Emperor Bulblax went from being a nigh-unstoppable tank of a creature in Pikmin 1 to a joke of a marshmallow in Pikmin 2.

average pikmin 2 gameplay
Nothing is worse than loosing a purple pikmin
Preach
when that happens thats a reset moment tbh, cannot lose anyone for the Doomsday Apparatus
Doomsday apparatus.
losing two purple pikmin

it's like in tf2 compilations when one frame it shows something about to happen and the next frame the killcam is shown

I don't see anyone mentioned this but killing the Mitites was so satisfying
The purple destruction with that buttery-smooth framerate. This is the ASMR I was looking for.
3:41 I had NO IDEA breadbugs could be damaged by Pikmin, I'm always learning something new about these games lol
yeah, it's just usually pretty hard to get the timing right. Giant breadbugs in particular are only hurt by purple pikmin.
This has been changed in pikmin 4. After being damaged they run away, and the giant breadbug can be killed by putting 10 normal pikmin on top of it.
@@buildermonkey2229 it has also become much more difficult to get Pikmin on top for large breadbugs. you either need the high ground or it has to lower it's face by making it drag an object.
@@buildermonkey2229You can also damage them in 4 with purp but way harder on giant bred

7:55 is tragic but it had to be done
lets ignore the overworld bulbmin on the pellet posy one
he dug his way out of the earth
10 times the weight, 10 times the fun and 10 times the problem solvers.
5:40 he was so scared :(
5:01 why is there a bulbmin above ground?
eagle eye over here
that's oomf!!!!!

The Bulbears deserve it
7:57 To be continued...
Next Episode: Getting the explosion!
your own player model ported to pikmin 2? thats a very neat addition!

minor side effects of the 60fps code i'd imagine
@@JessicaIn3Dand I assume your waiting on physical for switch?
I found out that you can do the 1:15 Emperor Bulblax cheese even with other Pikmin. What a joke of a boss
At least they have the decency to make it smaller.
Peace was never an option…. Unless you’re the breadbug
Tyrone "The Purple Pikmin": "I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds.
5:41 the bulbmin just freaking out
Programmer: "So what's the final decision, Miyamoto-san. Should Purples have increased DPS, cause impact damage, make enemies flinch, or have a chance to stun them?"
Miyamoto: "What do you mean 'or?' "
They weren't just broken either, they were very very satisfying.
This is the stuff I'm looking for
Pikmin death by obscene direct negligence is a crime on Hocotate and Koppai.
Never underestimate the true power of purple Pikmin.
I just cant put my finger on what it is about pikmin 1 and 2's pikmin groups that i like more than 3 and 4
The way they move just looks less stiff. Like it doesnt look mechanical.
They look like an actual swarm of ants moving and following you. None of the other games after 2 ever got that quite right.
PURPLE POWERHOUSES
I wonder if the Snagret fledglings will make a similar death wail
what a thing to wonder
The answer is no. They even took the wail away from the adults.
No the adults still wail, it ain’t as funni tho
the smoothness of the animation is throwing me off
Gluttons Kitchen is literally their dungeon
U r kitty.. woaw
meowg
7:43 bro didn’t care about his belly exploding
I feel like a purple pikmin
I feel like a purple pikmin
THE CAPTAIN PUNCHES ON THE WATERWRAITH......

60fps code for gamecube broke a few minor things
Keep up the good work😊
5:01 why is there a bulbmin in the surface
i grabbed him like a watermelon, looked him in the eyes and said "you're coming with me" then jumped on the geyser
@@JessicaIn3D you hold Bulbmins gentle, like a burger
Purple pikmin don't play around.
5:00 is no one going to talk about how that bulbmin was not underground?
The Emperor Bulblax as fallen so far from grace…
Accurate representation of playing Pikmin 2
"UNLIMITED!!! POWERRRRRRRR!!!"
POV: you Just Lost all Pikmin on hole of heroes or submerged castle and Just wanna see ALL enemies die
The big chads of the pikmin race 😊
How did you do that trick at the end of the video?
This is why I love purple
Now I wanna see Purple Pikmin vs Pikmin 1 Emperor Bulblax
The Purple Pikmin are as strong as a huge dumbbell!
speaking of huge dumbells..
This is why I love Gub Gub :)
I feel just like a purple ikmin.
Do you mind if I use this in a video?
sure, go right ahead! just credit me somehow pls
@@JessicaIn3D Alright tysm!!
I destroyed so much stuff in this video its funny
I liked the ujidaini the best
Anyone know what the music is?
Pikmin 2, 2 player battle theme
Aubergine Pikmin
