Because the Guard Satellite didn't protect Olimar from the meteor in the opening cutscene, some fans may wonder why it didn't protect him.

[@Wobbmin]

Three really creepy facts about the Plasm Wraith: 1) In its area, the Formidable Oak, every single enemy is an illusion that turns into plasm when defeated, even the harmless butterflies. The fact that it's able to create perfect replicas means it must have encountered real ones at some point. Perhaps it killed every other creature there (intentionally or not), then became so lonely that it filled the Oak with replicas. When Olimar shows up as the first other real creature its encountered, it immediately becomes attached and tries to keep him safe like its his mother, seemingly unaware that it's slowly killing him. 2) In the challenge mode mission to fight the Plasm Wraith, checking the map reveals that there's... _something else_ on the map, located where the top of the Oak would be in the story mode map. This implies that the Plasm Wraith is itself another puppet or illusion created by this other entity that's watching. 3) The pattern on the floor in the arena where you actually fight it is identical to the rock formations surrounding the Smokey Progg's Egg in the first game. No idea what this means.

[@nickchristinerenken1978]

Oh. That's.... disturbing.

[@Engieanimations]

Also it was confirmed or shown that the other enemy in the plasm wraith timed fight ia actually the chase sequence when you carry olimar back so maybe you did kill it but it created a perfect copy of itself to trick the crew into thinking it was done for

[@10191927]

I’ve got a theory, what if the Plasm Wraith is replicating/replacing the life on the planet? Formidable Oak would suggest that the Plasm Wraith is slowly wiping out life and replicating itself in place, at the very least imitations of life that no longer exist, disappearing into nothing. Olimar being an unknown life form to the Plasm Wraith takes Olimar with the intention of replicating itself as Olimar, then upon returning to Hocotate, begins to assimilate the life on Olimars home world. What I’m getting at here, is the Plasm Wraith actually wiped out humanity. We’ve never gotten an explanation as to how humanity was wiped out, but given the Plasm Wraith’s presence and that it seems to assimilate life and make copies of itself might suggest that the Plasm Wraith is a world-ending inter dimensional being. Came from another dimension and began to assimilate humans and made copies of them until they were all wiped out. When we came across it in Pikmin 3, it seems the Plasm Wraith was in beginnings of another extinction event. For whatever reason it can’t successfully reproduce or replicate itself, so it’s a lonely creature surrounded by cheap imitations of life.

[@RivLabs]

​@@10191927Fascinating stuff! I would have to ask, though, wouldn't that imply Olimar should have seen Plasm Wraith replica humans running about when he first landed? Or are you suggesting that Plasm Wraiths have some sort of expiry date?

[@10191927]

[@PassTheSnails]

Louie is one of the most unsettling characters in gaming to me. He’s a literal psychopath willing to murder his friends and steal from others. He never makes any sort of meaningful interaction with anyone, and poor poor Olimar is trapped with him on a mission, sometimes in the same ship as Louie for huge periods of time.

@Harkon Takala its stated in one of Olimar's descriptions (or maybe the ship said it after you defeat it i dont remember) that Louie was unconscious for the whole fight. then in Pikmin 3 its explained that both Olimar and Louie's suits have a deep sleep mode that activates whenever they are in serious distress

I'd like to point something out: Oxygen is toxic to Koppaians. In Pikmin 3, their mission brought them to Earth to gather fruit and seeds to cultivate on Koppai. The plants they brought back from Earth produce oxygen.

[@kosmic_overlord]

maybe their scientists reengineered the seeds later?

[@katiemckinney9456]

Well, they probably have some oxygen on their planet, Earth just has a higher concentration than their bodies are used to. Oxygen can be poisonous if there's too much of it, last I checked.

[@tpsplatinum3562]

Katie McKinney On average, one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year. Considering Koppaians are about an inch tall...

[@katiemckinney9456]

@@tpsplatinum3562 I like to think their trees are normal height for them but miniscule for us.

Interestingly enough, if you would scientifically define a poison, oxygen would fit that definition perfectly considering how easily it makes chemical reactions with living matter.

Theories and speculations I have for the series going forward: -Olimar may find out that one of the reasons pikmin follow him is because his suit looks almost exactly like them, therefore the pikmin think they are working hard for a diety or some sort. In return and without the pikmin learning the truth, Olimar teaches them self-defense without the need of a whistle. -Maybe a return of the piklopedia next game and the reveal of Louie's true character, not that Olimar may already be on to him.

[@coranbaker6401]

They already know how to defend themselves without a whistle. At the start of Pikmin 2 Olimar notes that his actions may have inadvertently moved Pikmin up in the food chain since now they know how to fight back.

[@Deas-Mhumhna]

I think the reason why the creature loved pikmin so much is that it's an easy food source for them. Think aphids in the bug world. Easy pickings and they multiply like crazy. It's an easy buffet, a tasty snack. Pikmin are a good source for many creatures and evolved these abilities as well as their need for community to better fight off their predators.

[@shlocktot]

I was 4 when this game came out, I always found Mario and Zelda so appealing, they were my whole childhood, also other series like F-Zero, but I never got into Pikmin growing up. It just never pulled me in enough because I just didn't get it. Last week I decided to have a look into Pikmin and really give it a chance, I looked at videos on KZbin about the series and then I saw things saying how dark and brutal the game actually is, This made me curious, So I decided to buy Pikmin 1 and ive been playing on it and can I just say, This is an amazing franchise. it really is. On my play through, not spoiling anything so everything was a surprise, When I encountered Beady Long Legs, I have never gotten such a fright out of a game to the point where I literally yelped and dropped the controller lol, after this happened, I really fell in love With this cool game. Just ordered Pikmin 3 for my Wii U, waiting on it now!

Sorry for the long comment. I am a Japanese Pikmin fan. It's a great video and good! I especially like the yellow Pikmin with earphones. I am impressed that you are looking at Amebozu from a Japanese perspective (I am Japanese and didn't think that much about it). I personally thought the spaceship crash was something that was happening because of the pikmin singing, so I was thinking it was based on the legend of the Sirens. But the discussion in the video fits better! (原文)長文のコメントすみません。私は日本人のピクミンファンです。素晴らしい動画で良いですね!特にイヤホンをしている黄ピクミンが好きです。 アメボウズを日本語の観点から見ていることに感心しました(私は日本人なのにそこまで考えていませんでした)。個人的に宇宙船の墜落はピクミンが歌って起こっているものだと思っていたので、セイレーンの伝説が元になっているのかなと考えていました。でも動画内の考察の方がしっくりきますね!

私は、「アメボウズとアメニュウドウが妖怪のパロディ」という説を考えたことがなかったので、非常に興味深く、面白かったです。 しかし日本語は、日本語を話す人間からしても複雑な言語なので、今からご説明することを考慮して頂けると、もう少し考察に花を添えられるかなと考えます。 まず、アメボウズの「アメ」という音は、日本では漢字に当て嵌めると、3種類の意味を持ちます。 それは「雨(ame)」と「飴(ame)」。更に、少し古語に近い難しい読み方として「天(ame)」の字も当てられます(これは一般的な場面では「ten」と読まれています)。 あの2つの化け物がこの漢字全ての意味を含んでいるとは思いませんが、少なくとも「水のように不定形である」という「雨(ame)」、「ある種の異界からやってきた」という意味での「天(ame)」、さらにアメボウズにかぎっては「上から降ってくる」という意味で「雨」と「天」、両方の意味が込められているのではないか。 恐らくAmebaという単語以外にも、これらの意味もかかってきているんだろうなと、私には思われるのです。 皆さんはどう思いますか？

One theory I've heard from Dorkly is that Louie was infected by the Wraith after Olimar left him on Earth in Pikmin 2 and his body is nothing more than a vessel for the creature. Hence why Louie has made multiple attempts to kill Hocotate Freight's employees and the SS Drake's crewmembers.

[@justinokraski3796]

it's pretty weird that he was able to survive for an undefined number of days at the bottom of a cave, even ignoring the oxygen issue

[@jrrechfield7660]

Meh. Louie was already a dumb and selfish one way before be forgot on earth, plus he didn't stay that much time on earth and it is said that they got better equipement til the first game. Plus as we saw louie can literaly create Cyborg so if we forgot that his equipement and life ressources were enough to survive, he just could have build somes more. So i don't think about that darker one. Til the first game it all refere to monster mythologie so the one for the (space) ship destroyer one sound really good to me. Plus the desing for the 2 game is really based on so i suppose its not coïcidences.

[@andrewle4989]

3:13 to jab-lock something, you need it to get it to fall down first and then hit it during the tiny bounce animation and you can only reset the animation up to like, four times before they get up. the Titan Dweevil wasn't the only thing Louie was hacking Edit: Also, assuming he took the Bulborb down in 4 punches, Louie has an attack that does more than 100 damage that is also capable of jab-locking. Louie should get banned

I mean from the point of view of other creatures they’re food. Atleast for the first few games. Originally the pikmin were probably bottom of the food chain scavengers. Though by teaming up with Olimar they seem to have raised their power within the food chain and are atleast able to defend themselves if not become predators
