Actual quote from Olimar's voyage log when you accidentally blow up a Pikmin with a bomb rock in Pikmin 1: _"Oh, horrors! A bomb-rock explosion engulfed my Pikmin! That last horrified facial expression is burned into my memory..."_

fun fact: using only winged pikmin against the scornet maestro is one of the easiest ways to see no casualties in it. just, make sure they're all flowered, and dodge the scornet attacks, then charge him while he's defenseless. during the third attack just charge him in the middle of his attack.

Even easier strat is to separate your captains, and have a captain with zero pikmin be the main target (he likes to target the one you're controlling from my understanding. Kind of like the raging bloyster from 2).

I know you say the ranking at the end is subjective, but I think it’s as close to objective as one could get on an opinionated topic like this. 2 has so many cheap shots at the player, 1 lacks the QoL additions the later games added, 4 is just REALLY long, so there’s a lot of ways you can lose Pikmin, and 3 is fairly easy, but has some tougher enemies later on.

it does almost make sense though with Pikmin 2 and 1 probably being the hardest since in Pikmin 4 it does state by the literal text that these guys have been limiting how many pikmin can come out at one time for survival, and by now have probably had so much prior training thanks to olimar I think it's supposed to reflect that the pikmin are evolving as a species being able to hit harder, be stronger, and more ready to take on anything that comes their way as long as they have some sort of leader. with even olimar at times being "afraid" of them being sucked up into the onion which actually does happen here when he had to turn back for moss when she couldn't breath. and his oxygen being so low that the pikmin decide on their own to bring him to the onion so I think it's symbolism of them becoming more advanced and now what used to be so scary and tense is now easy to them as well to take on.

@Kleist_Polaris 11 ай бұрын

Happy NY mate! As someone who plays no death runs, I measure it by how hard it is to not lose Pikmin imo i think every game makes it progressively easier. Pikmin 1 has awful AI, busted level design and glitches that make you plantmen fall into the void randomly. Pikmin 2 has some one the most dangerous creatures between bosses (looking at you water wraith!), roaming beasts and way more hazards (only time elec is instant💀) but resetting on floors makes it easy to avoid mass casualties, plus the sprays and purple pikmin are beyond busted. 3 and 4 are pretty casual comparatively, with bosses being more "scripted" events, your toolkit is vastly superior as well between the charge, extra captain and the busted Oatchi

So a fun (and kinda dumb) fact about pikmin 4: enemies in the overworld actually do not respawn after you defeat them for the first time, unlike in the first 3 games. This makes grinding new pikmin much harder, especially if most of the enemies you killed via ice pikmin, turning them into nectar

Ooh, a lot of those Pikmin 1 deaths could have been avoided with knowing the easy kill strats for each enemy. Bulborbs without dwarfs are simple, if you can get behind them with about 60ish Pikmin, just swarm against his back and he'll be dead before he even fully wakes up. Bulbears can be taken out the same way, but require more Pikmin or more time. Snagrets have 1/3 chance to get their head stuck low to the ground, making for another quick and easy swarm kill. Wollywogs... I have no easy kill strats for; they are just that deadly. Swarming them isn't good enough, because they will always hop at least once, and are still able to kill upon landing, even if they die in midair. Beady Long Legs is also still very difficult. Emperor Bulblax, even with the intended method of bomb throw stun, is still very difficult to setup, and I've always had to resort to sacrificial yellow bomb instead (which doesn't stun as long). And of course, the Smoky Progg is still just the worst thing ever. Even scarier is that they can scream to force-pluck all planted Pikmin, which it will then walk all over, made all the more terrifying when paired alongside the Snitchbugs replanting your Pikmin in the worst positions.

I can see how you rated it, and it's a pretty goo way to rate it. 'Technically' you could do a deathless run, but that takes a lot of practice, and doesn't reflect each games difficulty. Pikmin 2 actually has the highest amount of 'minimum' Pikmin needed, due to that doomsday item needing 100 purples. So even if you did a deathless run, you'd still need the most pikmin.

I'm pretty sure that Pikmin 4 would be the safest if Pikmin 3 was longer. As it stands, it's a much shorter than 4 with very similar number of Pikmin deaths between the two. You might be able to make a similar argument for deadliness between Pikmin 1 & 2, but I'm not certain added length is enough to close the 300 Pikmin death difference. At best, they may be comparable in deaths for very different reasons.

@legionbeast 10 ай бұрын

While Pikmin 2 had the highest death count, I do have to point something out. The cave system in Pikmin 2 has a notorious checkpoint autosave system where when you enter a floor, the game autosaves. While this can mess you up if you go down a floor with botched pikmin numbers, it also allows you to redo any and every floor and actually beat the game virtually deathless. Pikmin 1, however, has not only the tanky creatures, but botched hitboxes, and sometiems downright idiotic AI (TRIPPING pikmin, anyone?). Upon replaying all games and having foreknowledge of the bosses and creatures, Pikmin 1 continues to massacre my pikmin more than any of the sequels. A single wollywog jump can exterminate 25+ pikmin. Pikmin who aren't even UNDER it, and that doesn't cover Bulborb attacks or horrifying bombrock mishaps. Now, tack this on to the day limit, and each in game day being 15+ minutes, and while in any of the other games, you can redo a day just to salvage pikmin numbers, Pikmin 1 you may happily trade the deaths of 80 pikmin for successfully getting 3-4 ship parts in a single day.

I guessed the order of the game's deadliness correctly at the start of the video! I knew 3 would be last because it's much shorter compared to the others (able to be beaten in 7 days), as well as the countless exploits and low enemy HP. 2 is obviously the highest, and I guessed 1 because of the lack of QoL. I haven't done much with Pikmin 4 but I know about the first main bit, and it was very easy.
