Why Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle Is Peak

[@d-tergent7899]

I have to point out the single most infamous play I was victim to, there was an enemy pikmin on a crystal, and I chose to use a bomb instead to avoid losing my rock pikmin (the rare type of the map), so I throw the bomb, and in that exact moment, my sister uses the warp powerup, and warps me DIRECTLY ONTO THE BOMB ROCK, annihilating my entire squad in an instant. I still have that clip on my switch

Why won’t you ever be able to play this?

[@UphillBridge]

You can get 3 deluxe

[@leonro]

​@@UphillBridgeThe Wii U version is also fully local. Online isn't even supported. Wii U emulation is also pretty good.

[@Gulliblepikmin]

20:23 The half health thing also applies to all the mission mode levels. From what I remember, the reason it is like this is because normal mode is used as the difficulty mode for Pikmin 3 Deluxe's side modes rather than hard mode, which the difficulty most similar to the original Pikmin 3 on the Wii U.

[@Donchan1]

I love Bingo Battle, and when some pikmin you through at an enemy decides to take the longest possible route back to your onion it’s hilarious

So glad to see Bingo Battle getting more recognition. I heard so many people gush about it in such a high regard and at first I just thought "oh, it's probably just a neat little extra mode that can be kinda fun once or twice but nothing more" and really didn't get WHY people loved it that much, I mean it was just Bingo what's so special about it, i never tried it at the time. But eventually a couple months back i did with a friend, and oh my god it was genuinely some of the most chaotic fun I've ever had on a game, it was so fucking unhinged The absolute shock and dread when either of us would get the falling rocks item, seeing their entire squad get crushed into a puddle or EXPLODE if any of the pikmin were holding bomb rocks, or teleporting them in front of an enemy Also since We played it on an emulator (We live on opposite continents so we had to) for some reason the Mr President head item would just fucking crash the game after the stupid spinning animation and it was so stupidly funny, this whole mode in general was way more frantic than i thought it would be. Scheming some stupid traps and then seeing it ACTUALLY work against all odds and expectations while hearing the screams of your opponents has to be the most cathartic thing in any video game ever. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone who can play it, I was so disappointed seeing it wasn't in Pikmin 4 and realizing that the multiplayer content was so lacking, Pikmin 3 Extra modes were so fun and packed in content they each felt like a whole new game, I really hope we get some more of that as DLC to fix this later down the line, people are definitely down for more Pikmin.

[@noahrennert9146]

You could play it online?!?!

[@nathanblackburn1193]

I wish so badly that Pikmin 3 Deluxe had online Bingo Battle

[@ghoti6668]

With the boulders 15:00, since you only play in person, I had the house rule of count down from 3 to boulders. Made it balanced. Sucks we had to do that but allowed much more enjoyment from the game

[@demopan1067]

YOOO WE DID THE SAME THING

[@T-Dawg75]

Same

[@genericnintendofan5409]

Yo my brother and I do the same thing, gives you a chance to switch over to another captain that may have less or no Pikmin

[@SpathiTS]

Me and my sister didn't do this at all 😂, we waited for the perfect moment to massacre eachothers squad.

[@Seafor-v4l]

They should implement that if the boulders return in a later title. Maybe a few seconds of warning sirens.

[@agentclank8183]

Let’s be honest, the reason jigsaw colosseum is his favorite is because it looks like Wii tanks.

[@natonswim396]

The boulders were so broken that when my brother or I got one, we alerted each other, disbanded our pikmin and walked far enough away before activating it.

[@Short_Snake24]

If your having trouble with the boulders then here is a tip: always look at your opponents item because when they use the boulders it has a slight delay and before the boulders come dispatch your squad of pikmin so the boulders only attack you and your pikmin are safe.

[@Short_Snake24]

Trust me it’s easier then you think.

[@silokhawk]

You're thinking of Pikmin 4. In 3 the boulders are almost instantaneous. Given how much latency your TV has, you might not even be able to roll in time depending on where they fall. Even then, looking at the other person's screen is basically a given. Although you can essentially hold the other player hostage if you have boulders, because then they need to always make sure they don't have many pikmin on them to minimize losses.

[@silokhawk]

At 16:00 before the zoom in, you can see the boulder icon is still on my friend's roulette (in 3 the square flashing yellow means you just hit the button) despite already falling on my screen, that's how immediate they are.

[@furiouscorgi6614]

​@silokhawk in my experience, the sound effect indicates the start, so you can dodge and move for cover

[@tylermontgomery3513]

You and Arlo make the best Pikmin content on KZbin. Keep being awesome!

[@Aostrele]

@imonlyhereforpikmin is peak

[@epicgamerzfail4575]

For me the best part of bingo battle is having multiple pikmin types available. that alone makes it much more unique than both p2 and p4

[@Bupboy32]

Bingo Battle is genuinely really fun and I agree with a lot of what you said in this video. Honestly, I'm more bothered by the lack of an item select than the lack of a layout select, because if I could disable that dumb boulder item, I would. Wish there was a toggle for harder enemies, too. Having two Pikmin types per map is awesome, and despite the many AI issues you brought up like the fight cloud they can form sometimes (and the fact that pinks straight up don't work sometimes) I'm still able to have a lot of fun directing my squad against my opponent when the time comes to inevitably try stealing the last item they need to get a bingo. Great video.

[@Cirina.]

My friends and I have this competition we do on weekends we call either "All in 3s" or simply "Triple 3". Basically, one of us, fights the other, in 3 battles, in each games battle mode (Pikmin 2, 3, and 4). So we play each battle mode, 3 times per game, or a total of 9 times, with the referee, me, if I'm not participating, will choose a stage, then a second, then a third. Then we head to the next game and do the same thing, who ever wins 2/3 will be the victor of set 1, and set 2 will begin with 2 new players. Same thing with set 1, goes for set 2. Basically, a tournament. Then the winner of set 1, and winner of set 2 battle each other with 1 battle per game, or a total of 3 overall, with me picking the hardest, most bullshitty stage there is. The Ultimate Winner is given a headstart for any more battle modes, after the tournament, as their reward. It's pretty fun! And it's funny being the referee, choosing a stage, then seeing the players struggle due to my choice!...wait...am I...the bad guy...?! (With the set 3, the final set, one of the players will start with 1 pikmin. The one instance where settings are in fact changed, in all the other cases, settings stay the same)

[@jordanfrater9524]

Nice to see ya back Silokhawk Great video explaining how Pikmin 3 Bingo battle works 👍

[@danielisgamer]

FACTS!!!! Me and my brother love playing bingo battle together! A stupid amount of inside jokes we made have come from rounds of bingo battle and it will probably be the only reason our wii u wont collect too much dust

[@aciddownpour2185]

24:05 oh my god me and my friend played 100 games together without stopping and we ended at 50/50, it was so fucking fun despite all the obvious flaws, we got some really good clips from it too, i think i even have the final 50/50 saved somwhere still

[@anthonyoliver418]

Can’t wait to see you talk about 4, despite it being the most simple, it has the most amount of pre battle customization and the new mechanics and type changes do create a lot stuff you can do to be encouraged to replay even after you play for a while, which it may be the most fair battle mode thanks to the unbiased objective

[@someweirdo428]

Surprised they didn’t add a 3 captain mode with alph britanny and charlie as player 1 and olimar louie and the president as player 2. I doubt anyone would have used it, but it would have been nice.

[@fujitassoup]

the bingo battle menu music scratches my head just the right way

[@Helloimadude]

Boulders were soo overpowered that we had to tell when we had them to our opponents

[@Terrahex1]

I honestly like the all marble maps, because every marble feeps like it could be the last and you have to consistently perform well to get the highest number of chances to win

[@Still_in_water]

Bingo battle is probably my favorite battle mode in Pikmin

[@TheApoke]

I play bingo battle with my brother, but quit because it was too frustrating that I would put in all the work killing a big enemy, then he comes in and jacks my shit and kills me when I'm too weak from battling that big enemy.

[@wyatteb1663]

I bought pikmin around January because of this video and convinced a friend to try bingo battle with me. I've now played Bingo Battle more than the rest of the pikmin franchise combined

[@marcelopaulo446]

I got Very shocked when my friend that has never played pikmin before was able to beat me on his First try,but to be Frank,It was Also my First time...playing bingo battle that is.

[@pikminfan123_]

Hey, as a fellow pikmin youtuber myself, I just want to say some things. First of all, amazing to see pikmin being well treated by a big channel like yours. As I'm sure you know, we aren't that popular lol. Second of all, I really like your videos. It's clear you put a lot of effort into your videos, I can't even imagine how long it takes to make them. I especially like your pikmin (obviously), wii tanks, and mario videos. Third of all, your fan base really appreciates you. I know that as you grow to you feel less and less connected to your audience, but I just want to know not only do I appreciate your content, I appreciate you as a person as well. Thanks for taking time out of your day! -pikminfan123

[@JJSquirtle]

My first experience with Bingo Battle was an hour straight of my sibling pulling Boulders and causing me pikmin extinctions.

[@tipmobe4764]

My friend an I used to have a rule, that once one gets a rock item form a cherry, the opponent would release their pikmin and go away from then, then he gets hit with the rocks, since they were just annoying

[@kylelord_8573]

I’m excited for you to cover Pikmin 4’s. There was a tournament set up by Coney that was extremely exciting to watch

[@tabbycar6741]

I remember playing jigsaw castle with a friend and we made rules that the person on the ground has to get the macaroon, and the person in the castle has to fill out their bingo board. It was really interesting and we played it a lot.

[@starryfae]

when i used to play with friends or siblings, I would often have the rule where you tell the other person when you have boulders, just because it's SUCH a devastating ability on your opponent to just use out of the blue.

[@LegacyGamermyry]

12:51 one time when the bulborb did a shake right when it died it some how shook itself off and landed on a pipe out of reach so no one could get it

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

idk I actually kinda like the broken boulder item haha it just adds this chaotic element of unpredictability to the game

[@thomario8639]

This mode is special since I've been playing it with my dad ever since the game came out. Is the most fun I've had on the WiiU which makes me hail Pikmin 3 as the best game of the console and one of the best games of all time. Plus my dad is the best at this game, thus he is noneother than the legendary entity known as the King Pikmin.

[@amari648]

Man I can’t wait for that Wave 6 Video!!!🥳

[@moosescarf]

I absolutely LOVE Bingo Battle and wish there was an online mode. They didn't even make an online for Dandori (which is far inferior to Bingo Battle). I miss Bingo Battle so much!

[@ShyGuyXXL]

Speaking of the Medusal Slurker's name... It bothers the shit out of me that it has Medusa in its name, is first found with rock Pikmin in its stomach... but it DOESN'T turn Pikmin into Rock Pikmin.

[@YummyWiceCakes]

i think its called Medusal Slurker beacause Medusa is Jellyfish in spanish, and it looks like a jellyfish

[@DylBro101]

On the topic of throwing your captains around 4:00. It had one use in my game, if you throw a captain at newly grown sprouts they'll immediately start to pluck them

[@kaplisisdx8651]

Nice! Bingo battle is certainly more complex than pikmin 2 battle mode, with all the strategy involving the other player's card...They really put a lot of efforts on the maps, taking into account that the main adventure has like only 5 big levels... Sadly pikmin is not easy for everyone, so i couldn't enjoy it as much as i wanted...

[@MamutaPWIP]

The only good way to dodge boulders is hiding under the onion, but you can still lose up to around 20 Pikmin with this strategy.

[@Magic_Ice]

We stand the staring bulborb in the thumbnail

[@morevrai]

One summer my mom and I would play every night, and I started out easy and slowly ramped up the difficulty as she got better(but a lot of the times I threw by letting her steal my pellet and pretending not to notice) she only found out that I was doing that when she discovered what the return macaroon back to base item did😭

[@FIamestalker]

My brother and I banned Rockstorm, its just too busted and has little counterplay. Since you cant turn specific items off (because Nintendo hates options) we'd have a gentleman's agreement to call out when we got the item so the other player could quickly disband their squad to make it mostly harmless.

[@ambleeins_door]

i have played bingo battle TWICE. the first time i played a match was with a friend after we beat story mode together and they didnt speak to me for an hour after i beat them, the second time another friend played with me and i beat them on every stage.

[@treehousegames7903]

In my opinion the ideal competitive Pikmin experience would be Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle with Pikmin 4's Pikmin AI and Pikmin 2's level generation with caves from Pikmin 4's main game. If you could combine the aspects of Pikmin 2's 2-Player Battle, Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle, and Pikmin 4's Dandori Battle to create the ultimate competitive Pikmin experience, how would you combine them?

[@Robbie_Haruna]

I'd say the themes in Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle were much better than the ones in Pikmin 4's Dandori Battles. Honestly Dandori Battles were super lacking on the map front. They felt a lot more varied and had way more available as options. Pikmin 4's AI, Pikmin 2's random generation, Pikmin 3's Bingo Board and level designs and base layouts.

[@treehousegames7903]

Agreed on the Dandori Battle themes being lackluster. Apologies for my words being unclear, I edited the original message. But, as far as caves based on Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle stages? Yeah, could definitely be cool!

[@ColonialSun-mg6tq]

The rock item does have a counter just don’t have all of your Pikmin on you at once in bingo battle you can lose so many Pikmin in so many ways I like to keep at least 5 in the ground to rebuild at just in case

[@Riptide0505alt]

The thing with not allowing pikmin throws whill going up a slope is actually intentional, as the pikmin are too far for your captain to reach. edit: another thing; the lucky marble will start randomly appearing after a long enough amount of time. edit 2: the only safe spot from the rocks is under a ceiling lmao

[@zsasha2004]

I've literally never played pikmin but still watch all these videos Iol

[@ScruffyAnt]

Best way to dodge rocks is to use the didge whistle, just press sideways om the D-pad and you'll roll out of range. the boulders are still broken, but its more fair.

[@luigi64fan]

When I played the Wii U version, the boulders never did much. Haven't got a chance to play it on switch, but perhaps the boulders being broken is partially because of the pikmin being forced to stay a certain distance from the captain.
