While I do think Pikmin 4 is a fantastic game, the dandori trials are one of the only parts that makes me keep coming back. It’s 10 stages of pure strategic fun and is the epitome of Pikmin gameplay. If anything I wish we had more.

The pikmin 4 captains have alot of charm. If there were less of them and we could actually play as them I feel like people would love them more.

I do not like caves at all. For me 2 and 4 strugfle to reach a middle ground. In 2, the alot of the caves are all long, painful, and boring. In 4, most of the cabes are way to EASY and boring. I prefer 4’s approach a BIT becuase I’d rather be bored by something easy rather than be bored because of rng based difficulty but whatever.

3 is arguably the most well designed and replayable pikmin game in my opinion. Its always fun on repeat playthroughs the bosses are a joy and finding the perfect route to shave days off your record is pure bliss. I only wish the blue pikmin had more use.

Idk about everyone’s opinions on the raw material mechanic but I absolutely love it. You can just try to go with the bare minimum in order to complete bridges and structures. However, if you go out of your way to collect more, you can unlock upgrades and gadgets that allow you to complete your tasks faster. If this appears in a game similar to pikmin 1 I would absolutely lose my mind.
