Pikmin 3: Dying on day 1 as Alph

While I was making the comment video from the announcement that I made, I discovered a few weird things that happen if you die on day 1 without going to the first red pikmin. Some crazy stuff and surprising ones as well!

[@Meows101]

*WHY IS THIS NOT POPULAR*

[@debbiedowner6713]

Is it just me, or is Alph an MVP in this game? He finds the ship, discovers the rock and red Pikmin, rations out juice properly, saves Brittany and Charley, fixes the ship so it can go to new areas, is genuinely upset when the others get no juice, is super nice, and isn’t afraid of the creatures on PNF-404. Charley, is a coward, and doesn’t pull his weight, whenever a creature gets slightly close to him, he panics and runs everywhere. Brittany, inspects the fruit, and blatantly steals juice from the other two crew members, even saying sometimes that “ She wishes she didn’t have to share with the others “ when she takes the most juice out of the three of them, which Alph and Charley both acknowledge in one of the Check-Ins you can do, in which she responds with something like, “ That’s so rude! You shouldn’t accuse me like that. You know what, I should get more juice now because you said that. “ Alph is just so good.

[@Strafely]

Never have I agreed with something more, but I’d say Charlie is more of a narcissist than a coward, though you can see that he is proud of his team and looks out for them (sometimes...).He *is* afraid of everything, but he acts like he’ll overcome it with “a steely fist”.

[@debbiedowner6713]

I forgot to add how he was good in the game, it’s just he didn’t really seem to have the go getter attitude Alph did.

[@Kid_Cat64]

[@thatsufferingguy1058]

[@icykat]

I think that it shows the red onion in the place of the blue onion because thats the only onion in the game. since alph didnt discover the red onion and it didnt follow him back on day 2, the game gets confused and looks for the closest onion and finds the blue one, so it just goes along with it and uses that one

[@DoctorTex]

Alph: *Is dying* I need to find the Drake. Drake: Nah, don't worry, I gotcha.

[@red-man7017]

And just like that, the explorers mission ended in catastrophic failure. After the crash...Charlie, Alph and Brittany never reunited. Charlie was eaten alive, Britanny starved to death trapped in an unknown place and alph was such an inept moron he didn't know his ass inside out. And even if he was actually smart, The red onion he discovered was on its last legs. As it instead kept flying away from the drake and landed in the water before deactivating seemingly for good. As a result, the three explorers and their ship never returned nor was ever found. Koppais three explorers as well as their hopes of recovery was pronounced dead. As the years went by, millions of koppaites died of starvation before they eventually left the planet. Leaving it as an empty wasteland...

I think the 6 pikmins are the pikmin already on the map for the tutorial

[@montydoesgames]

I think the Day 1 cutscene loops when you choose that location and when you get the found Drake cutscene it triggers a flag to let you go to the next area and also to stop using the cutscene.

i was expecting the red onion to follow to the correct spot when you land, and have it pull out a red sprout since theres no pikmins on the field turns out the onion just swaps with the blue onion

[@SuperSireBoyYT]

It makes sense that wouldn’t happen since only a pikmin extincion would make that happen and we haven’t even caused the trigger to get pikmin at all

[@hyrule1476]

Turns out Alph can't land properly.

[@DoodlingHitman]

besides all the weird glitchyness, i really love how things could be very different. if no pikmin were around on that particular day, they'd all be stuck. but... they can fly around and land wherever, so.. they'd technically be fine too? anywho, what i find so interesting and chill is the ambience. when walking around on a strange planet and there are no enemies and you just stroll around, explore, no danger per se. i wish i could do that in real life, where we could purchase space ships and just take off into space. like, it being so normal for humanity to do this. you could go as far as you'd like, but of course, the further away, the more alone you might get and too far from any help if you get in potential dangerous situations but man... i'd love to take my ship, go fly for a while, or have warp speed if it's there, and land on some strange planet and just, explore. be the only human there basically. make sure the surface is not dangerous of course, lol

This question maybe off topic to the video, but if this game only has Brittany and Captain Charlie taking a flight to explore PNF-404, how will they be able to find their ship and survive if it wasn’t for Alph’s? To me as a huge Pikmin fan (Well sadly, not as much as before since I’ve been looking forward to other games like Zelda, Bomberman, and many other classic and indie games while waiting for Pikmin 4 to release), This sweet blue boi is a hero and that is why I loved him so much!
