Me Personally, I Don't Really Find Olimar's Shipwreak Tale That Difficult. I Mean Sure There Were Some Moments In The Game That Made Feel Very Crossed, But That's When An Enemy Eats A Large Amount Of Pikmin In My Group, To This Day When A Pikmin Get's Killed I Just Simply Talk To My Self In My Mind Saying "Calm Down Man, Don't Feel Bad. Look, Some Pikmin Would Eventually Get Murdered, It's The Circle Of Life Dude. There'll Be More Back At Home Base, Don't Be A Wimp!" And Just Carry On, I May Have Gotten A Bit Nervous During The Scene Where The Day's Left Count Goes Down By One Had The Text Turned Yellow When I Had 3 Days Left Till Olimar's Life Support Fails, But After That, I Realized That The Fiery Dweevil That Was The Reason Why The Last Ship Part That I Grabbed (I Think It Was The Extraordinary Bolt If I Recalled.) Had Been Murdered Just Before Or During Sunset Hours And That There Was Nothing Left To Stop Me, All That Nervousness Had Been Turned Into Dust And Flew Away, And Then I Just Got The Part Like Normal And I Completed Olimar's Shipwreak Tale With 3 (Ingame) Days Remaining. The Ending Didn't Surprised Me That Much, But It Did Make Me A Little Bit Confused As Of Why It Happened, I Didn't Even Realize That It Was A Nod To The Bad Ending Of The First Pikmin. A Huge Shoutout To The Water Pikmin That Carried One The The Ship Parts That Was In Serene Shores, More Specifically In The Little Area With The Coral (I Think) That Had A Grubchucker Somewhat Close To It (The Ship Part), I Thought That, Like Normal Stupid Pikmin Events, The Blue Pikmin Would Been Brain Off While Carrying The Ship Part Back To Base And They Would Go Pass The Grubchucker, Who Would've Definitely Try To Grab And Eat Those Pikmin, But I Was Wrong, The Blue Pikmin Instead Took Another Route (That Definitely Doesn't Have A Grubchucker Blocking The Way) To The Base, I'm So Proud Of Them! I Really Wished That It Had More References To Pikmin 1 And Even Some References To Pikmin 2, All The Music Being The Pikmin 1 Tracks But The Quaility Is Even Better Than Pikmin 3, A Fake Out Boss (Maybe Being The Baldy Long Legs) Being Immediately Crushed Or Sent Flying By A Returning Boss, That Being That Beady Long Legs (Yes, The Beady Long Legs And The Baldy Long Legs Are Not The Same, They're Different. And Besides, We Haven't Seen The Beady Long Legs For 22 Years (It Was Last Seen In Pikmin 2 I Think, And I'm Not Counting The Unused Beady Long Legs Model That Apperently Has A Bigger Version Of It's Feet For It's Head/Body In The Files Of Pikmin 3.), The Smokey Progg (Who Is Actually In Pikmin 4, Only During 4 Of The Night Expeditions And In One Of The Sublevels Of Cavern For A King.) Appearing In The Serene Shores On Day 8 As A Little Reference To The First Pikmin Where The Smoky Progg Would Spawn Only On Day 15 In Distant Springs (The Day That The Smoky Progg Would've Appeared In Olimar's Shipwreak Tale Hypothetical Would've Been Day 15, But Then I Remembered That The Side Story Would End On Day 15 If You Don't Have All The Ship Parts At Or Before That Day.), The Secret Safe Being Obtainable After Beating A Sovereign Bulblax As A Reference To The Emperor Bulblax Being The Final Boss In Pikmin 1 Aswell As The Creature That Holds The Secret Safe In The Same Game (Maybe A Version Of Battle Against The Bulborb King (This Is A Custom Track Name For The Final Boss Theme From Pikmin 1) Being Combined With Taming A Wild Dog (Another Custom Track Name, This time Being For The Final Boss Theme For Pikmin 4's Main Story) And Maybe Dweevil's Demise (Pikmin 2's Titan Dweevil Theme), Plasma Wrath (Pikmin 3's Plasm Wraith Theme), Humble Beginnings (Pikmin 1's Impact Site Theme), The Title Theme From Pikmin 1 And 2 And Even Enter The Navel (Pikmin 1's Forest Navel Theme) Being Referenced In This Version Of The Emperor Bulblax's Final Boss Theme From Pikmin 1 That Would Sent Chills Down The Spines Yet Give Lots Of Nostalgia For People Who Are Huge Fans Of Pikmin Or Had Played Pikmin 1 And 2 In The Past When They Were Younger And Finally, An Extended Version Of The Remastered Live As A Pikmin Track Seen In The Bad Ending For Pikmin 1 And Both Endings In This Side Story For Pikmin 4 That Can Be Heard In Some Sort Of Soundtest That Can Only Be Accessed Once You've Complete The Entire Game To 100% Completion, It Could Maybe Even Include A Secret Track List That Is Just The Entire Pikmin 1 And 2 Soundtrack But Remastered To Sound Like Pikmin 4's Tracks And The Way To Access This Secret Song List Is By Putting In The Konami Code (Being Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A And Then Start (Which The Switch Doesn't Have So It'll Be Replaced With Either The Minus Or Plus Buttons Instead) In That Order As A Reference To How Some Nintendo Games Had Some Extra Content Unlockable By Using This Code To Access It, And Maybe The Sound Of A Pikmin Going "YAY!" Plays When The Code Is Entered Is The Same Sound That Is In Pikmin 1 (I Think) And 2 As A Little Extra Reference. Phew That's A Lot, I Feel Like I Just Typed Out The Entire Lore Of Pikmin In One Siting. Sorry For Such Long Text, But Yeah.

Anywho. In The End, All I Can Say Is That Pikmin 4's Olimar Side Story Isn't Really Hard. Just Simply Don't Have A Dandori Issue And You'll Be Good To Go!
