Other than substituting for Pikmin abilities, they can be used to finish tasks more efficiently and easily. [[Tuff Stuff]], [[Air Armor]], and its [[Tuff Stuff+|up]][[Tuff Stuff++|gr]][[Air Armor+|ad]][[Air Armor++|ed]] versions are helpful to prevent getting knocked in combat. They benefit Oatchi more than the player character, since he should be getting damaging for most of the time. | |||
The [[Treasure Gauge]] and its [[Treasure Gauge+|upgrade]] can be used to detect treasure and keep track of how much is collected in the area respectively. | |||
[[Gunk Busters]] are overall niche, as [[sticky mold]] is not a major obstacle, but they can help in Dandori Challenges and Trial of the Sage Leaf to save time. | |||
[[Rush Boots]] are important gear to have, since they improve the speed of the characters and tasks can be done quicker, especially since the run is slow paced. | |||
The [[Power Whistle]] and [[Plucking Whistle]] are to be used with caution, as they could likely [[whistle]] wild sprouted Pikmin. However, the latter tool can be used to kill wild Pikmin if timed correctly using an explosive item. The former does not help too much, as the whistle is only used to call back Oatchi or the player character and not groups of Pikmin, so the increased range hardly matters. | |||
The [[Charging Horn]] and [[Lineup Trumpet]] do not have much use in the run, even though it can be used on Oatchi. | |||
The [[Idler's Alert]], [[Homesick Signal]], and [[Idle Counter]] are useless, since their intended uses are specifically for Pikmin. | |||
- '''Buildings''' | - '''Buildings''' | ||
Some buildings are mandatory to reaching some collectibles, or parts of an area. While some can be skipped, they are required to finish [[Osa|Osa's]] Building Goodwill mission. | |||
- '''Get Help (Dingo)''' | |||
All Dandori challenges are impossible without using Pikmin (the Extra Hand makes some of these possible), which renders some of the leaflings unobtainable. However, if [[Dingo]] has been saved, then the ''Get Help'' option is available after failing a Dandori challenge. Choosing this option allows the player to skip the Dandori challenge and obtain the leafling easily. The ''Get Help'' option is also available in Dandori battles and night expeditions, but unlike Dandori challenges, they can be done far easily. | |||
