Hello!  I'm Burrhead2, and I love ''Pikmin''.  I also have a YouTube channel by the same name, so check that out if you have the time.
Hello!  I'm Burrhead2, and I love ''Pikmin''.  I also have a YouTube channel by the same name, so check that out if you have the time.


What follows are my opinions on the various games.
I don't have much more to say.
==''Pikmin''==
One of the weaker games.  I'll admit, the game does feel... off in places.  The throwing speed of the Pikmin and the large amount of squash and stretch in some of the animations make it feel weird.  But the strategic gameplay, coupled with the great level design and short overall play time make this game a blast to play!  It's easy to pick up and put down, and endlessly replayable.  And despite being simple, the Challenge Mode is actually pretty fun.


==''Pikmin 2''==
''(P.S.: I may not do much, but I'm always lurking...)''
This is the first ''Pikmin'' game I ever played, so I'm quite nostalgic. Between this and ''Pikmin 3'', it's hard to choose my favorite (Although, this one wins out by a small margin).  I love this game simply because of the fact it has so much stuff to do!  So many treasures and so many enemies!  I always feel like I'm exploring something every time I play this game.  That's likely because of the caves.  I don't mind the caves in the game, y'know, I actually kinda like them.  But in some cases, they do feel a bit "sterile" and "machine generated".  They do negate most of the strategy the series is known for, which is a shame, because the main areas are really well designed. But they work and are pretty fun, so yeah.  The Challenge Node is sort of a prerequisite for Mission Mode if you ask me, but you didn't.  Using caves for Challenge Mode works quite well, given the explorative nature.  Purple Pikmin op.
==Stuff I've done==
A list of more major things I've done.  Why is this here? I dunno.

*Somewhat related, I found that [[The Real Magic]] and the [[Rarely Seen Cell]] can't be carried in-game.  So I guess their weights would be N/A.

==2023 Summer of Play at the Mall of America==
====The event====
From the 15th of June through the 18th, Nintendo held a "Summer of Play" event at the Mall of America in Minnesota.  It was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for three of the four days it was open, but 11 to 7 on the last day.  It held demos for ''TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom'', ''Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe'', ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' (a giant TV displayed the gameplay for the rest of the crowd to watch), ''Pokémon Scarlet and Violet'', ''NSMBU Deluxe'', ''DKC: Tropical Freeze'', ''Yoshi's Crafted World'', and ''SSBU''.  There were also advertisements for ''SM3DW + Bowser's Fury'', ''Splatoon 3'', and ''AC: New Horizons''.  There was also a booth for ''Pikmin 4''.
 
====''Pikmin 4'' Booth====
I had heard there was going to be a Pikmin 4 Demo at the event, so long story short, I was there.  I was very interested in seeing what it had to offer, but I had a hard time finding a place to play the demo.  The staff directed me - twice - to the booth for the demo, but nothing could be found.  I eventually realized why - there was no console.  You can't play a Pikmin 4 demo if you don't have anything to play it on!  Or with for that matter, as there weren't controllers for this missing Switch either.  I was only there on the 17th, so knowing my luck, there was either A) never a demo there or B) it was only there on the first day.
 
The booth itself was consistently the emptiest one.  After all, there was nothing to do there except get your picture taken by the staff as part of the event (if you filled out your card by getting your picture taken 3 times, playing two demos, and finding the "Super Star hat" (I never found it, but I wasn't interested in filling out my card anyway) you won a chance at the claw machine).  It had a TV that cycled between playing the two trailers and the three Pikmin Short Movies.  The fact that the Pikmin 4 booth was always the emptiest was slightly funny in a cruel joke or ironic sort of way, and a little impressive given that DKC: Tropical Freeze and Yoshi's Crafted World were there as well.  By the way, why is Nintendo still advertising these games?  They're so old!

==Fiery Dwarf Bulblax==
The name "[[Fiery Dwarf Bulblax]]" has always slightly bugged me.  It implies that the creature is a "Dwarf Bulblax that is on fire".  There is no such thing as a Dwarf Bulblax, at least not yet.  A better name would be "Dwarf Fiery Bulblax".  ''That'' implies it is a dwarven [[Fiery Bulblax]], which it is.  On the subject of creature names in ''Hey! Pikmin'', the name "[[Long Water Dumple]]" just flat-out sucks.  You could've called it the "Water Dumpeel" or something, but no.
:''Long'' Water Dumple.  ''Long. Water. Dumple.''

2023 Summer of Play at the Mall of America

The event

From the 15th of June through the 18th, Nintendo held a "Summer of Play" event at the Mall of America in Minnesota. It was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for three of the four days it was open, but 11 to 7 on the last day. It held demos for TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (a giant TV displayed the gameplay for the rest of the crowd to watch), Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, NSMBU Deluxe, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's Crafted World, and SSBU. There were also advertisements for SM3DW + Bowser's Fury, Splatoon 3, and AC: New Horizons. There was also a booth for Pikmin 4.

Pikmin 4 Booth

I had heard there was going to be a Pikmin 4 Demo at the event, so long story short, I was there. I was very interested in seeing what it had to offer, but I had a hard time finding a place to play the demo. The staff directed me - twice - to the booth for the demo, but nothing could be found. I eventually realized why - there was no console. You can't play a Pikmin 4 demo if you don't have anything to play it on! Or with for that matter, as there weren't controllers for this missing Switch either. I was only there on the 17th, so knowing my luck, there was either A) never a demo there or B) it was only there on the first day.

The booth itself was consistently the emptiest one. After all, there was nothing to do there except get your picture taken by the staff as part of the event (if you filled out your card by getting your picture taken 3 times, playing two demos, and finding the "Super Star hat" (I never found it, but I wasn't interested in filling out my card anyway) you won a chance at the claw machine). It had a TV that cycled between playing the two trailers and the three Pikmin Short Movies. The fact that the Pikmin 4 booth was always the emptiest was slightly funny in a cruel joke or ironic sort of way, and a little impressive given that DKC: Tropical Freeze and Yoshi's Crafted World were there as well. By the way, why is Nintendo still advertising these games? They're so old!

Fiery Dwarf Bulblax

The name "Fiery Dwarf Bulblax" has always slightly bugged me. It implies that the creature is a "Dwarf Bulblax that is on fire". There is no such thing as a Dwarf Bulblax, at least not yet. A better name would be "Dwarf Fiery Bulblax". That implies it is a dwarven Fiery Bulblax, which it is. On the subject of creature names in Hey! Pikmin, the name "Long Water Dumple" just flat-out sucks. You could've called it the "Water Dumpeel" or something, but no.

Long Water Dumple. Long. Water. Dumple.
