37:25 This is a mechanic. If you DISMISS a yellow with a bomb, they WON'T drop it when you call them. If you THROW a yellow with a bomb, they WILL drop it when you call them. You can get Pikmin back into your party by walking into them, which is how you're supposed to get around this.

[@arcticfluffyfoxy]

I gotta say that's still pretty bad design

[@romram7984]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the game even tells you on one of the olimar logs about how the mechanic works so you know that's a thing. They're even still a bright yellow instead of a faded yellow to show they're still active

[@perrykv7312]

Well, the mechanic got removed in the ports, so idk

[@TheDMan2003]

Pikmin 1 on GCN is kind of a broken mess, one that makes Sonic 06 look polished and bug-free in comparison, and yes, I do mean that. I experienced less glitches in my 06 playthrough than I did this game.

12:53 This is caused by Mamutas burying Pikmin in water. I'm pretty sure it always causes a crash at the end of day, but maybe this was edited out of the video? I put out an update to fix this, but I guess it didn't reach everybody.

Sorry I'm only seeing this now, but I believe at this timestamp it didn't cause a crash at all. The only crash occurred the 2nd time later on in the Distant Spring. Thanks for the insight tho, I appreciate it :)

[@ShyGuyXXL]

37:16 After all these years, there are still people who don't get how the bomb rocks work in the original game, even though the game itself explains this after your first time using a bomb rock. 🤣 They tell you, bomb carriers that were thrown will drop their bombs if you whistle them. Bomb carriers that were dismissed will keep them. And if you touch them directly, they will always keep their bombs. You can even tell which ones are which by whether or not they have the idle pikmin glow around their leaves/buds/flowers. If they glow, they were dismissed. If they don't, they were thrown. I guess 99% of all players skip the explanation for this, assume they know how it works, and then get mad at the game, which is why this feature was taken out of any subsequent releases of the game.

[@bluemike1215]

Yeah, that's the exact reason why tutorials exist. And then people skip them because they are "annoying and useless."

[@nameplease8811]

Well… ok it’s important to note where the tutorial appears in order to talk about mystery when you first get a bomb rock it remains vauge on how they work and it takes you killing your pikmin once for a warning that you need to be careful and if you do it again then you get the explanation (though that didn’t mean the entire squad needed to die).

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

They really need to put multiple enemies into the pit at the end because no single enemy (excapt maybe the smokey progg) is a good replacement for the emperor.

[@lightrealmrapono]

Fun fact: when I played Pikmin I thought the candypop was an enemy and avoided it. So I got that one ship part by throwing the yellows onto the high platform, both there and back. Might've been easier cuz I was playing the Wii verison.

[@thewhitefalcon8539]

You can throw farther in the Wii version

the amount of effort you put into these videos is so awesome! all your vids are so creative and your sense of humour really helps the enjoyment!

[@katmanchego]

Yellow Pikmin dropping a bomb when being whistled is not a glitch, it is a feature, it was purposefuly coded in even though it serves no purpose other than making you want to throw your controller at the screen Thankfully they removed it in the Switch version, and potentially the Wii version but I can't confirm that one

[@nameplease8811]

Not Wii… most glitch’s are still there like the floor glitch which wasn’t talked about (crime) but you can see it through the video.

[@_pancakes1734]

it does serve a purpose; yellow pikmin don't throw bombs on their own in the gamecube version. the wii version changed it so that they do, which while it's more intuitive, it also makes the final boss much, much harder because they almost never throw the bomb when they need to. at best, you can only get half length stuns because he eats the pikmin with the bomb.

[@mastererdcx]

I love so much how you can make nearly every single gane you play interesting even though sone viewers have never olayed it, just watching your commentary and the awesome personality that you bring to these videos is the best. Another banger from the Don himself 💙
