Pikmin: A Nintendo Horror Game in Disguise ft. Rin Penrose

Pikmin is terrifying, thank you Rin for introducing me to the horrors. This was streamed on Rin's channel last weekend, and Cloe has edited the entire game into a single video for here!

In RT's Defense, Olimar LITERALLY named the Pikmin after his favorite food, PikPik Carrots, because they have an uncanny resemblance to them.

Pikmin is canonically post nuclear war, there is a geiger counter in Pikmin 1 which Olimar doesn’t know what it’s for, and when we find it, it’s whirring rapidly. Which means there’s radiation in the air, a lot of it.

Dan’s apathy towards the pikmin’s wellbeing is something I’m all for. He’s finding the real answers. Like how long does a pikmin take to drown.

[@SentinalSlice]

It’s funny. When Dan liked my comment I had just watched the part where a school bus of pikmin crashed into the river.

[@MrApplelovin]

Also Pikmin 3 is so much more forgiving of the time it takes for pikmin to drown. My first Pikmin game was 3 and then I played 1 when it came out for Switch and it was a bloodbath bc the recall time is way shorter

[@dizzy_eevee]

4:01 fun fact time: this is actually one of the few cases in games where this isn't terribly unrealistic! the relation between size and mass is a bit unintuitive (look into the square-cube law for a more detailed explanation), but smaller creatures are *way* lighter than you might expect in proportion to us. the combination of small size and extremely low mass means they generally have a very low terminal velocity. this is why cats can easily handle falls that would injure humans, and why ants basically have IRL fall damage immunity. i'm not a physicist, so i don't know how i'd go about calculating it, but given that hocotatians and koppaites are only around ~2cm tall, it's very much possible that they could survive very long falls with minimal injury (especially if their suits provide them with some protection)

[@PlutopianSociety]

it's just the basic Force = Mass x Acceleration. The less mass, the less force. The less force, the less damage.

Pikmin is the most innocent looking child friendly gruesome horrifying anxiety inducing brutal RTS with heavy moral choice and soul crushing moments that make people cry. At the end of the day accidentally leaving your pikmin behind and seeing them get devoured as they are seconds too late for the ship launch is some of if not the most heartbreaking gameplay Nintendo has put in a "children's game", this is not a game meant for the weak hearted (or at least Pikmin 1 isn't). The lore is post apocalyptic, the in game features and hidden details are dark and disturbing, and how these cute little pikmin gets murdered is horrifically graphical This is a cute little game that genuinely does the "leading an army" trope better than many war-themed RTS, each and every pikmin under your command lives and dies by your actions, and every single death is due to your mistakes and failures, even if casualties just appear as numbers at every end of day report, you can feel the remorse and regret for each and every single death. And the worst part is you're on a constant timer, Pikmin 1 did it best, and it makes you truly feel the pressure of micromanagement and any lost time is painfully felt Pikmin is absolutely the Dark Souls of something alright

4:45 I’m only this far in the video so pardon if you figure out later, but the Piklopedia actually explains that Pikmin are in their own kingdom separate from animals and plants. This kingdom shares animal and plant traits. So normal plants are still just normal plants. Critters that also have animal and plant traits are part of the same kingdom, and many animals also just use mimicry. This is to say, are they meat or veg? They are both.

One of my favourite examples of Pikmin being surprisingly dark and sad is in the first game if you meet certain conditions the Pikmin will start singing a song in Japanese which basically translates to them saying they love you and would follow you anywhere even if you view them as disposable and will eventually leave them and they won’t even ask you to love them back. So canonically despite everything he did, the Pikmin still love Dan.

Pikmin 3 is actually much more forgiving than pikmin 2. A lot of things that would kill a pikmin in that game are fine here. Like, throwing a non-yellow pikmin into an electric fence? Instant death in pikmin 2. That game also gets really hard in the postgame, very easy to lose dozens of pikmin at once

@@galuxius1861 Weird. I remember spamming the whistle made them move slower, as it would reset their acceleration cycle. I also played 1 and 2 on the wii, and I remember that water was a death sentence because barely any of my pikmin could make it whenever I spammed the whistle.

Theres a beauty in when playing Pikmin 3 with a pal. One half of this video is spent playing the actual game, the other half is blaming each other of killing a certain number of Pikmin.

[@lucasrudolph4466]

Cajun spice Pikmin might be the best first impression I’ve ever seen.

[@Gastly-iz6hf]

Rin: every pikmin life is important Dan: some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make

[@AllIHearIsMeep]

11:19 My god, that is such an aggressive KZbin from Bin Benrose

[@HazeEmry]

They're demanding Cloe edits just 5 minutes in to an almost 2 hour video. I hope her sanity is still intact. Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication, Cloe

[@aviatornic2839]

"Its a piece of software you play" has the same energy as "Its a big building with patients, but that's not important right now"

[@SeanLifeFlame]

Yeah, I agree, RT really is Louie. Especially with how much they're both agents of chaos.

[@BreeMcdonagh-kg7le]

I love how the live Chloe reaction is her with few I’d like to believe that she actually listened to Dan and got a cup of tea

[@georgespellvin6859]

4:38 Plants have already shown to have a level of perception, though it is one that's lower than humans. The world of pikmin isn't as far away from reality as you think.

[@Chameleonred5]

They don't have a brain. They do not perceive.

[@mateogajardo2196]

During the stream whenever they mentioned Charlie I couldn't stop thinking that it was Charlie Day and suddenly I realized how funny the game could be if the pilots where the cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadephia

[@Dustifer]

22:47 Actual footage of Cloe?!

[@Phonixfire]

And the human they puppet to edit the videos it seems.

[@chromaticraptor7018]

RT is a brave man for pulling this nonsense while in constant melee range

[@tritondemius3723]

I was just watching old videos of you arguing with Rin, i needed this extra hour of fresh arguing

[@maddoxm6807]

Can we all just agree that whoever made this custom Pikman thumbnail for the video deserves an award? It’s great

[@colin5227]

The description credits shenpai, whose channel on here is called aeroviro

[@erdtroll7010]

1:20:15 “ no Pikmin were harmed in this playthrough. Their ends were quick and (hopefully) painless“

[@Tribdinosaur]

Seeing RTGame play the deceptively cute game series Pikmin is a dream come true. I am here for the surprise and accidentally Pikmindeath. Especially that this is Pikmin 3!! T’was my first Pikmin game too! EDIT: It’s been a Pikmin bloodbath. It’s amazing.

[@Tribdinosaur]

ft. Rin Penrose

[@GoldenKitsune777]

Nice to see Dan disavow his flesh yet again to become a Pikmin

[@InquisitorBot]

"they need to kill to make more of their own" you mean like every other carnivorous animal on earth right

[@pineball43]

Rin’s youtube being screamed is startling and hilarious, in every video you should have just one youtube be replaced with you screaming it instead

[@GreenCorgiQueen]

My favourite genre is horror disguised with cuteness

[@Kulkogo]

“Someone’s got to have cooked the Pikmin at some point” *Well, you’re not wrong…*

[@paranoidlizard6338]

1:43:58 I’m so used to the “youtube”-s that I was genuinely surprised to hear Rin say an actual cuss

[@timothymenard1750]

I'm so glad RT played Pikmin, it's quickly become a beloved series for me and i'm excited to see RT's reaction to the horrors of PNF-404!

[@MrSpartan993]

OH, you mean EARTH?!

[@NuclearRaven13]

44:57 me who remembers the Captain Charlie incident circa 2015 on the Twilight River:

[@JrooToob]

Finally the video on Pacman we've all been waiting for! Just gotta go get my glasses real quick

[@wlwsylveon]

17:39 "we could try and keep them all alive!" famous last words from rtgame daniel who killed 152 total pikmin including the entire lgbtqia+ community. smh smh

[@the_godbodor7026]

RT is just Louie, can’t stop talking about if/how/when he can eat things

[@turqoisesnake2438]

Fun Fact: the boss music does a different tune at the end of every attack based on if no pikmin died, some pikmin died, or a lot of pikmin died. See if you can hear them after the attacks!

[@discodog4582]

my brother and i were very broke when we were little, so the pikmin 3 demo on Wii u was one of our favorite games. Good times

[@Toru_Adachi]

Olimar is one of the few Nintendo protagonists to smoke weed

[@magdaluxe_deluxe]

7:46 MOUTHWASHING MENTION ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@veryspecificchaosfox]

i knew someone else had to have noticed

[@LostOnMountSilver]

WHAT. I NEVER EXPECTED HIM TO PLAY PIKMIN. HOLY [KZbin]. MY FAVORITE GAME SERIES.

[@-Infex-]

21:26 they call him the drift king, because all his collage friends drifted away

[@MLGHazrad]

The early part on Koppai is based on Thomas Malthus's theory of increase human population will outpace food security meaning more people equals less food resulting in famine. He doesnt take account in technological changes meaning as technology advances, we are getting better at making more food.

[@JacksonJinn]

We still suck at distribution and our mass production methods are still producing dangerous amounts of pollution while requiring the destruction of wildlife... So unfortunately we need to get better still.

[@FahneXIV]

Rin and RT behave like siblings and its the funniest god damn thing. True friendship right there

[@mikomakowski7907]

23:47 shout outs to RT’s reaction of two pikmin getting killed being him killing another pikmin by throwing it in the water

[@jcplays5831]

0:28. Yeah. Louie. All of his entries in the piklopedia is him thinking of how cook any creature.

[@Alfenheimer]

Oh my lord, I'm gonna have to go and watch the vod(s). Probably the games that provided the best David Lynch like experience of cuteness obscuring something horrific.

[@BasicallyBaconSandvichIV]

Dan just plays like a WW1 general who's a big fan of Dungeon Meshi.

[@CJ-ln5ov]

“They’re playing Pikmin 3? That’s an odd first choice. And why is it +1 hour lo-*GASP* It’s a co-op playthrough!!” Edit: This has unironically become one of my all-time favorite comedy films. I laughed out loud so many times throughout the whole thing. Two more things. Rin, you’re a Mamuta. 😊 Daniel. As it has been established, you’re a Louie.

[@goob27]

Bro the censors are SO good, they match the tone of voice so well that it barely stands out, and 39:56 is so funny, I didn't know there were shouting versions too xD

[@AetherealDragon_LOL]

I love how throughout most of this video you can feel the disappointment seething from Rin as she is so close to giving RT a death sentence everytime something happens to one of his Pikmin lol

[@jospwasp3504]

i say this on every video i see that includes the pikmin 3 title, that little snippit of the pikmin leitmotif as the title fades in gives me chills. i love it so much.

[@wedran9225]

I've only seen playthroughs of some of the Pikmin games, but 3 is my favorite solely because I like seeing the juice animation.

[@loganiushere]

"Oh is this a metaphor for where we're headed?" I dunno Dan, but they did use a literal picture of the Earth to represent Koppai so...

[@loganiushere]

In case you're wondering, the image is Apollo 17's _The Blue Marble._

[@keving264]

Can't believe Nintendo makes horror games with the label being E for everyone that's wild

[@DadizzTired]

HOLY KZbin THIS IS IT THIS IS MY FAVORITE SERIES AND MY FAVORITE KZbinR ITS FINALLY HAPPENING

[@DadizzTired]

TRULY ONE OF THE PIKMOMENTS OF ALL TIME

[@LinkJTO]

I always thought this but this video really sold it to me, RT and Rin really have a brother sister dynamic and I love it!
