The Best Way to Deal with Pikmin (Animation)

Reanimated one of my favourite Pikmin memes, the original can be found here:
• Pikmin 2 Man At Legs B...
I also made a lot of funny faces with the bulborb whilst making this animation, so I made funny little extra video showing them off:
• The Many Faces of Bulborb

[@FoxeroVA]

Giving the Pikmin enemies a personality is something I never thought of. Perfection.

pikmin enemies bri ish

[@thedoglovinggamer5825]

The short movies did kinda do that with how Fiery Blowhogs find scaring pikmin funny and how Red Bulborbs are hot headed idiots.

Mamuta, during all of this conversation, is just wondering if it should mention the whole 'planting Pikmin in the ground' thing.

[@TeknoThom]

Mamuta constantly thinking to itself “Don’t tell them you make Pikmin stronger, don’t tell them you make Pikmin stronger!!” whilst sweating profusely

Holy shit this is amazing. I’m honored my silly meme inspired this video. It’s impressive the personality you put into a faceless spider robot with the movement alone. My favorite part if how the bulborb’s eyes bulge out whwn he says “IT’S NOT A HAMMER!”

[@crinklyonion1410]

How did you make the Bulborb so much cuter?! Also, I never thought anybody could ever give a personality to the Man At Legs, but here we are.

Absolutely in love with the way the Man at Legs is animated, so much expressed personality through movement for a character you wouldnt really expect to be expressive, awesome work, goated animation

[@sandwich_bubbles47]

YESS!! Oh man I freaking love the original version of this and this does it so much justice! I absolutely love the idea of just getting to see Pikmin enemies casually hang out like this as if they were civilized people. I would absolutely kill for a show like this.

[@red8064]

I DONT understand why blowhogs and other enemies that DONT eat Pikmin kill Pikmin like whats the point in killing the Pikmin is it for self defence because they have an item we need?

[@e2011ugdia]

All non eating Pikmin enemies use Photosynthisis for nutriants

[@gormottigrebel9978]

Plenty of non-carnivorous animal irl are highly territorial like hippopotamus, rhinos, buffalo etc

[@ghirahimlefabuleux8984]

For the same reason Rhinos or Elephants will try to kill you if you are in their territories. That or because they protect their youngs. The Piklopedia states that's the reason wollywogs are dirtbags that try to crush Pikmin on sight. Blue Pikmins are actually a common predator for the Wogpoles. Then there are the really weird ones like the wraiths and the Mamuta. The Mamuta has evoled a habit of planting seeds to make food reserves so it tries to plant anything vaguely ressembling a flower. The wraith are more interesting. The Waterwraith's taxonomy lists it as Amphibio Sapiens. The Sapiens term seems to imply that it is sentient like humans are. So it is outright killing Pikmin because it is a dick.

[@PaniniBoi]

Pikmin tip for newer players: The mamuta is a strange enemy, but also very useful! If you find one in a cave in pikmin 2, or even in pikmin 1 (crash sight), make your pikmin go to it and just let it smash them Not only will it not kill them, but they just get buried into the ground and actually grow into flowers! It can actually squash your entire squad if pikmin into the ground and turn leaves or buds into flowers

​@@zonebro6205pray

[@PaniniBoi]

@@zonebro6205 the man-at-legs is a formidable opponent, try and fight it with yellow or red pikmin, and keep the rest of your army behind a wall, and keep its attention focused onto you. when it starts to take out its gun, hide behind a wall, when it’s not shooting, keep it in the centre of the map where it spawned, it can pretty much follow wherever you’re going, and it might result in it finding all your pikmin.
