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.

== 2nd Story: Snow Problem ==

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.

* '''Wild Pikmin''':

** {{icon|Winged Pikmin|v=P4|y}} × 15 (buried)

Start by sending the [[rookie Rescue Officer]] to pluck the two sets of [[Winged Pikmin]] (the [[Plucking Whistle]] can obtain the second set from across the ramp) while [[Oatchi]] kills the nearby [[Watery Blowhog]] for five [[Blue Pikmin]]. Have Oatchi jump into the water and travel to the [[Tin Box]] and push it (you will need to dismiss your Blue Pikmin to have him do it). Meanwhile, take the rookie Rescue Officer to the far island to pluck the last Winged Pikmin, grab the three [[Cupid's Grenade|Cupid's Grenades]], and send them to break the large egg for an [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]]. Call the five Blue Pikmin from the bush and put them on the [[Stellar Extrusion]]. Send the player to the small area near the Tin Box and sound the [[Idler's Alert]] while Oatchi plucks the ten Blue Pikmin under the box and the five on that same area, then use the Ultra-Spicy Spray and have his squad kill the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] and obtain another. Use the Winged Pikmin in two waves to collect the six sushi pieces while Oatchi and the Blue Pikmin collect the remaining treasures with the other Ultra-Spicy Spray.

* '''Tools''':

** {{icon|Rock Pikmin|v=P4|y}} × 7 (buried)

** {{icon|Winged Pikmin|v=P4|y}} × 14 (7 are buried)

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.

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}}

== 7th Story: One Fell Jump ==

{{infobox dandori challenge

|screenshot =  

Send [[Oatchi]] to kill things as soon as he isn't doing something. In the meantime, throw your [[Purple Pikmin]] in the biggest packs of enemies, trying not to target isolated enemies too much. Don't bother recalling [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] too often as long as you have at least two Purple Pikmin with you, as it takes too long. The best way to succeed in this challenge is to use the stomp from the thrown Purple Pikmin in the biggest packs possible (defeating multiple enemies in groups). Oatchi will usually chomp down the stray or isolated enemies once their numbers are reduced, so focus on killing big packs at once. Prioritize the [[Shearflea|Shearfleas]], which can avoid the shockwaves from a thrown Purple Pikmin if they're jumping and will prevent Oatchi or the player from acting if they're allowed to latch onto them. [[Rush|Rushes]] are also effective at eliminating clustered enemies, and if absolutely necessary either Oatchi or the player can serve as live bait to get enemies clustered together.

== 8th Story: Crowded Kitchen ==

{{infobox dandori challenge

|screenshot =  

You'll want the [[Plucking Whistle]] for this. First have [[Oatchi]] rush the nearest jars to gain five [[White Pikmin]]; send the player and those White Pikmin to the [[poison]] [[Kingcap]] and have them work on it. Meanwhile, destroy the [[Sticky mold|Sticky molds]] with Oatchi and [[Rush]] the remaining jars, then call the last five White Pikmin out from under the [[Mysterious Carriage]]. Throw them all onto the Eggs and then have Oatchi go to the [[Candypop]] Bud. Have the player throw their White Pikmin into the Bud and then go to gather the [[Maturity|flowered]] White Pikmin and go through the bars to have them pull the potted plant. Using Oatchi, Rush the ledge with the [[Citrus Lump|Citrus Lumps]], then bring the Purple Pikmin to deflate the bag and send Oatchi to carry the Mysterious Carriage. Use the player to call the Purple Pikmin, flower them (Oatchi's lower throw height makes getting the Purple Pikmin up there very tedious), and throw one to push the box. The plant should be pulled by now, so throw Purple Pikmin onto the treasures in that area. Send Oatchi to the far corner to pull the fishing line while the player distributes the White Pikmin onto the three piles of [[Gold Nuggets]] and has the one Purple Pikmin grab the Gold Nugget it can now collect. As things are collected, have Oatchi collect the [[Anxious Sprout]] and clean up the other treasures with the Purples.

{{infobox dandori challenge

|screenshot =  

** {{icon|Rock Pikmin|v=P4|y}} × 5

** {{icon|Candypop Bud|v=P4 purple|y}} (Purple) × 3

Start by sending five [[Rock Pikmin]] to the [[Porquillion]] and let them fight it by themselves while you do the rest of the challenge. Pluck the five Rock Pikmin in the corner and [[Rush]] the two [[Mama Sheargrub|Mama Sheargrubs]] to kill them. Break the [[Crystal wall]], and send five Rock Pikmin in the Purple [[Candypop Bud]] while you go walk over the [[Foolix]] to make it spawn. Pluck the 5 [[Purple Pikmin]], send two to tug on the Foolix's tail, and Rush at it as soon as it's vulnerable. To kill it in the quickest way, repeat a cycle of: chomp twice then Rush with Oatchi as soon as you can, which should allow you to kill it in two cycles. After the Foolix is dead, spawn five more Purple Pikmin while going to the [[Burrowing Snagret]] arena, prompt it to spawn, get the Purple Pikmin, and wait for it to plant itself into the ground and get stuck, then Rush it. It should shake the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] off before dying but only require to get Rushed while it's trying to come out of the ground once or twice. Transform the next five Purple Pikmin using the Candypop Bud, but do not waste time breaking the wall! Just go through the center room (without provoking the [[Emperor Bulblax]]) While you wait for the Candypop Bud seeds to sprout, send Oatchi to the dirt moat next to the Porquillon and get him to dig up the [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]]. Once you have gotten the five Purple Pikmin, go back to the Porquillon which should be a few hits from death, finish him, get the Ultra Spicy Spray, and go with Oatchi to kill the Emperor Bulblax by Rushing every time you can (once it's done attacking if it attacked first).

== Final Story: The Purple Key ==

* '''Enemies''':

** {{icon|Arctic Cannon Larva|v=P4|y}} × 1

** {{icon|Desiccated Skitter Leaf|v=P4|y}} × 5

* '''Others'''

Have the [[rookie Rescue Officer]] 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.
