'''Dandori''' ({{j|段取り|dandori}}) is a Japanese word that can be roughly translated as "the procedure (for carrying out a plan)" or "the preparation (before carrying out a plan)". In the {{ps}} it was introduced as an in-universe word and concept in {{p4}}, being explained as the ability to "organize tasks strategically and working effectively to execute plans". While not officially mentioned before this, dandori is a key concept applicable to the ''Pikmin'' series as a whole.


The word is most associated with the [[Dandori Challenge]]s and [[Dandori Battle]]s, both of which require planning and efficiency for success.
'''Dandori''' ({{j|段取り|dandori}}) is, as ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' puts it, the ability to "organize tasks strategically and working effectively to execute plans". It is a key concept of the {{ps}} as a whole, but is more stressed in ''Pikmin 4'', with characters referring specifically to it, and there being two game modes named after it, [[Dandori Challenge]]s and [[Dandori Battle]]s.

Dandori is first mentioned by [[Shepherd]] during the [[Pikmin 4 player character|new recruit]]'s first day exploring the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]. Upon hearing it, the recruit shows confusion, prompting [[Collin]] to elaborate on the term, referring to it as a "core tenet" of the [[Rescue Corps]].
Dandori is an especially important concept to the [[Leafling|leaflings]], a group of [[Castaway|castaways]] who have been turned into [[Pikmin]]-like creatures. It is also held in high regard by the [[Rescue Corps]].


Dandori is an especially important concept to the [[leafling]]s. They talk almost exclusively about the concept, with [[Leafling#Leafling Olimar|a red leafling]] specifically insisting that it is a very important tool for surviving on [[PNF-404]]. These leaflings are the ones who host [[Dandori Challenge]]s and [[Dandori Battle]]s, and refuse to be rescued and cured until their respective challenge or battle is completed.
==Trivia==
 
* Outside of the games, ''Pikmin'' series creator Shigeru Miyamoto mentions the word after Pikmin 4's reveal trailer, saying it is how the developers refer to the strategic planning of the series.{{cite youtube|UJ9Iz7HhU-I|h=0|m=30|s=28|of Miyamoto talking a bit about the game's new features|published={{date|13|September|2022}}|retrieved={{date|13|September|2022}}}}
Within Dandori Battles, each player's score is just generically referred to as "points", but one mechanic, the [[Sneak Bomb]], allows players to obtain large amounts of "Dandorium" from the opponent's Onion, indicating that it is some type of force or value, at least within the Dandori Battles themselves.
 
==History==
According to Yuji Kando and Shigefumi Hindo, the developers for the ''Pikmin'' series first used the term "dandori" in a narrow sense during the development of {{p3}}. They used it internally to describe efficiency and task management in a ''Pikmin'' context, mostly in {{p1}}. ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]] was fundamentally meant to serve as a place for players to train up these skills.{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-10-pikmin-4-part-1|Ask the Developer Vol. 10, Pikmin 4—Part 1|Nintendo Official Site|retrieved={{date|24|October|2023}}}} Dandori Challenges and Dandori Battles are based directly on Mission Mode and [[Bingo Battle]]s respectively, but instead of keeping them as standalone modes, the developers chose to integrate them into ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[Story Mode]] so that all players would be "sneakily" trained in dandori.{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-10-pikmin-4-part-2|Ask the Developer Vol. 10, Pikmin 4—Part 2|Nintendo Official Site|retrieved={{date|24|October|2023}}}}
