They made it way more realistic in terms of difficulty, Oatchi is an incredible companion, and they put a mini pikman 1 in the post game alongside a huge challenge dungeon and 2 harder areas. I can go on and on about this game (night mode, side quests, old enemies, PURPLE PIKMAN, the onion and frarlics, deciding the best pikman for each area, etc) but I still need to finish the last night mode level!

    Pikmin has always been a great example for stellar sound design, but this new one honestly is such a vibe it's hard to put into words. Every sound is perfectly crafted. The commonplace walking sounds are exactly what you would think they would sound like, and the weird alien ones are so unique and distinct from each other, yet also make total sense at the same time. Not to mention the intro song for this game literally gives me chills every time I hear it. 10/10 game for many reasons, but an underrated piece imo is the spectacular sound design.

      As a music nerd, Pikmin was the first time I ever noticed "adaptive" music. It especially blew my mind in Pikmin 2 when switching to Louie in one of the areas changed the style from straight to swing. I couldn't believe they could do that so seamlessly!
      Also all of the remixes in this game of the tracks from the first game (and probably the second but I'm less familiar with those by ear) slap so hard!

      The reason the game took 10 years is because of the sound design. Seriously, every enemy has a unique theme they add on the the area’s music. Spotty bulborbs will add low pitched synths, and dwarf bulborbs will add a different, higher pitched synth

    Pikmin 4 is like an overhaul of the previous 3 titles combined into 1 incredible game. I was really skeptical when I saw that the caverns were coming back, but I have to say that I really enjoyed them in 4. The best part for me, though, is that all pikmin types are available in the main story. My only complaints are the 3 hour tutorial at the beginning, and that a lot of the areas you explore kinda feel the same. I know it’s all in one persons yard, but I still would’ve liked to see some more different looking biomes instead of just sand and dirt. Already one of my favorite games of all time tho, I haven’t had this much fun with a new game since Elden Ring

    I played Pikmin 3 Deluxe after playing Pikmin 4 (first Pikmin game), and it made me realize how amazing the new mechanics of Pikmin 4 are. Oatchi is a HUGE game changer for overall pacing and consolidation of gameplay. The Pikmin are “smarter” in Pikmin 4 in some ways (staying by the finishing location once they’re done carrying material stacks, better pathing around hazards, quicker response times, etc.). Also, I really am appreciating the segment-type levels in the pipes more - it’s a great break from the open worlds which can really pull your attention all over the place, so it’s nice to have areas with one clear cut goal.
    Such a wonderful game. Both are great, but Pikmin 4 really is incredible

    My mom bought me Pikmin with my Gamecube (Christmas) years ago, along with the strategy guide (because the dude managing the game section of Wal-Mart probably asked how old I was).
    I must have read that guide ten times from front to back before I ever even attenpted playing the game for real.
    I was still terrified of not making off the planet, of the consequences of my inability, and most of all, failing to deliver Olimar back to his family.
    I couldn't work up the nerve to even make it past the tutorial, and eventually, finally, faced my first major defeat (yeah, I don't count the occasional time-slip past dark) at the metaphorical hands of the Yellow Wollywog.
    I was devastated that I had failed Olimar, and his poor Pikmin.
    I could have, SHOULD HAVE done better.
    No other game had, or has ever managed to make me feel the range of emotion that game did.

    After rescuing Olimar, you are given the opportunity to play through the first 4 areas of the game again, remixed, as captain Olimar, with a 15 day time limit to get all 30 ship parts with just red blue and yellow pikmin. It is essentially pikmin 1 remix, and it is very cool and fun. Your reward for beating it is that Olimar’s ship gets fixed and you unlock the trial of the Sage leaf, which also has sick rewards if you beat it.
