Hop on [[Oatchi]] and head to the room ahead of you, throw your [[Red Pikmin]] at the [[Dwarf Bulborb]] then pluck the [[sprout]]s on your left. Charge your [[Rush]] ability using Oatchi, defeat the [[Bulborb]], and pick up the [[Bomb rock]]. Next, go to the room with the [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s and [[Spotty Bulbear]], direct your bomb rock towards the Spotty Bulbear, and finish it off with a Rush. Next, go to the room with the [[Ice Pikmin]] sprouts and pluck them. After that, you can ignore the [[Dirt wall]] and backtrack towards the [[Ice wall]] and use Rush to break through. Defeat the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] and pluck the Ice Pikmin. Then, Defeat the [[Fiery Bulblax]] in the next room, get rid of the Sticky mold which blocks a [[Bouncy Mushroom]], and jump on to pluck more Red Pikmin. Now, guide the [[Frosty Bulborb]] to the [[Fire geyser]] to defeat it. After that defeat the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]] and the [[Orange Bulborb]] with a perfectly angled Rush attack.

Alternatively, you could go to the room in front of you and throw your [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on the two [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and pluck the [[Red Pikmin]] sprouts. Go to your left and hop on [[Oatchi]] and rush through the two [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s and to the room with [[Ice Pikmin]] sprouts and pluck them. Then rush through the Dwarf Bulbears again, defeating them, and try to hit the [[Spotty Bulbear]] in the rear. After you defeat it, go back to the room with the [[Bulborb]] and beat it up. Then, after defeating it, pick up the [[Bomb rock]] and charge your Ice Pikmin at the [[Ice gate]]. Walk though the iron bars and throw your Pikmin at the [[Fiery Bulblax]] and defeat it. Go to the left and defeat the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]], then pluck the Ice Pikmin. Once the Ice gate is broken, call Oatchi and go behind you to the room with the [[Sticky mold]] and charge everyone towards the mushrooms. After it is removed, jump on the [[Bouncy Mushroom]] and pluck the Pikmin and go right. Trick the [[Frosty Bulborb]] into the [[Fire geyser]], melting the ice on its back, and rush it. After defeating it, go forward, and take out your [[Bomb rock]] and throw it in the middle of the [[Orange  Bulborb]] and [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]] particularly from outside their territory so they don't move away from it.

** {{icon|Arctic Cannon Larva|v=P4|y}} × 3

** {{icon|Hydro jelly|y|v=P4}} × 3

** {{icon|Ice wall|y|v=P4}} × 2

** {{icon|Clay mound|y|v=P4}} × 1 (requires 45 raw material)

Your first priority should be to collect the [[Fire starter|Fire starters]] and use them to light the torches and burn the hay. Utilize the extra Fire starters you get from the torches to destroy the [[Hydro jelly|Hydro jellies]] and the [[Ice wall]]. [[Oatchi]]'s main job will be destroying enemies as you go, so make sure to have [[Thermal Defense]] and upgraded [[Rush]] and possibly [[Oatchi#Chomp|Chomp]] on him. As the material piles are all small, it is likely faster first to collect the farther away ones each in one go while clearing the enemies, then set a few [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to build the [[Clay#Clay mound|Clay mound]] while the rest collect the nearer material groups in two rounds.

** {{icon|Bouncy Mushroom|v=P4|y}} × 9

Start by immediately sending your [[Winged Pikmin]] on the webbed [[Sphere of Heart]], and your [[White Pikmin]] to the [[Sphere of Desire]] on the floor right under the starting point. Go with your [[Rock Pikmin]] to uproot the seven White Pikmin next to the [[White Onion]], and use [[Rush]] at the [[Armoured Cannon Larva]] to kill it. Rush through the poison mushrooms with [[Oatchi]], kill the [[Miniature Snootwhacker|Miniature Snootwhackers]] with a Rush and send seven Winged Pikmin to the climbing stick leading to the [[Sphere of Vitality]]. Send seven Rock Pikmin to uproot and carry the burrowed [[Sphere of Beginnings]]. At this point, you should be able to use the [[Idler's Alert]] to get your first fourteen [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] from the first treasures back. Get the webbed [[Sphere of Good Fortune]] down using Winged Pikmin, and take the path towards the [[Mammoth Snootwhacker]]. On the way, kill the [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb|Moldy Dwarf Bulborbs]] using Oatchi's [[Rush]], collect the [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]] from the left egg in the dead-end, and get the White Pikmin you got to carry the [[Sphere of Family]]. Kill the Mammoth Snootwhacker using the Rock Pikmin you have and the Ultra-Spicy Spray, get the replacement Ultra-Spicy Spray it drops, get the [[Sphere of Calm]] using Winged Pikmin, and send some remaining White Pikmin or Rock Pikmin to dig up the Onion while the last treasures are getting transported. Prepare 20 Winged Pikmin once you have all the treasures, give them the Ultra-Spicy Spray and rush them towards the Onion as soon as the gate opens. If the time is low, use White Pikmin or Oatchi with [[Swallow]] instead.

** {{icon|Numbered gate|v=P4|y}} × 1 (locked by the three treasures)

** {{icon|White gate|v=P4|l=Switch gate|n=Switch gate|y}} × 3

** {{icon|Bouncy Mushroom|v=P4|y}} × 13

** {{icon|Fan|v=P4|y}} × 3

** {{icon|Climbing rope|v=P4|y}} × 1

Immediately throw 5 [[Red Pikmin]] on a nearby mushroom to push down a rope. Scale the rope and throw one [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on the same mushroom to open the metal [[gate]]. To collect the three treasures, move the base over, have the Pikmin destroy the ice geyser, use the five Pikmin that don't go for the nearby Sphere to pull down the one on a web, and have [[Oatchi]] [[Rush]] and collect the third one. Next walk into the new area and bait the exploding [[Dweevil]] to the glass gate. Finally throw one Pikmin onto the conveyer belt and do the puzzle involving switching the conveyor belts. The final gate will open and you can proceed to the Sage Leaf.

It is also possible to skip the entire level and reach the Sage Leaf using a well-timed jump with Oatchi.{{cite youtube|D3GZIg7Tgjo|demonstrating the 6th Story: Gimmick Gambit finished in under 15 seconds}}

Have the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] pluck the five [[Ice Pikmin]] at the start (or preferably use the [[Plucking Whistle]]) and break the [[Hydro jelly]] on the upper level containing three [[Purple Pikmin]] and ten more Ice Pikmin. Have [[Oatchi]] [[Rush]] the [[Purple Onion]] to knock it down and then have him swallow it. Destroy the Waterwraith's rollers (you don't need to kill it afterwards, just chase it away if it's in the way) and the [[Dwarf Bulbear]] that spawns, then have the Purple Pikmin lower the bag. Use Purple Pikmin to kill the [[Bulborb Larva|Bulborb Larvae]] so the Ice Pikmin can destroy their spawn point, then kill both [[Blowhog family|Blowhog]]s with all the Pikmin (and the help of Oatchi if he arrives before you're done; make sure to send him to [[Swallow]] the Onion again if he does). Repeat this strategy with the [[Desiccated Skitter Leaf|Desiccated Skitter Leaves]], the [[Ice wall]], and the [[Arctic Cannon Larva]], using Oatchi for sure this time. Transform five more Ice Pikmin into Purple Pikmin and use them to lower the bag, then wait for Oatchi to waddle his way to the ship.
