Talk:New Play Control! Pikmin

Hey, one of the differences is that Pikmin last longer before drowning or burning to death. Do they last the same as in Pikmin 2 ot still die faster? Does anyone know?

Oh, and I hate that Pikmin throw the Bomb-rocks at enemies because they wake up and chase you. That sucks! And the other day a Yellow Pikmin almost drowned because he wanted to hit a Wollywog with a bomb but the idiot went into the water and lost it. Snakeboss14File:Hairybulborb.jpg

Glitch

I was playing this and a wierd thing happened to me in The Forest Navel: a yellow threw its bomb-rock at my squad, killing the 12 it contained. Has anyone encountered this in the GameCube version, or is it a result of the changes made to the game? RandomYoshi^{Talk to me!} 17:05, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

You sure the bomb didn't hit a wall? Or the Pikmin had some minor disturbance in front of him before he threw it, making it bounce back? Because that's kinda weird. Never had that happen on the GC, and I doubt the Wii version adds that. {Espyo^T} 19:26, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

I'm sure. The exact place Olimar and his squad were placed was at the wall which takes 9 bombs, closest by the Onions, standing so that I had a downhill to the gate. So I threw it to make it drop its bomb at the gate. I appearently didn't threw it far enough, as it didn't seem to recognise the wall. It instead acted as if it was "Enemy-blasting-time!", aiming at the closest creature(my 12 other bomb-rock carrying yellows): in effect deliberatley throwing the bomb. I also think that Olimar had a sliver of HP left.

Exact chain of events:

1. Throw a yellow carrying a bomb-rock towards said wall
2. Wait
3. Watch as your squad gets killed by a yellow Pikmin throwing its bomb-rock at the squad.

That's so weird. Internally, when a yellow bomb-rock carrying Pikmin is trying to attack, it doesn't recognize your army as an enemy. One can notice that all the time. Throw a Pikmin, get your group get close to him, and he won't attack. But that is really weird, specially because you were downhill to the gate. If the Pikmin slided a tiny bit away from the gate, it could have glitched him out, but it wasn't even that... {Espyo^T} 09:05, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Yeah... I'll try to re-create the glitch to see what in the Hocotate actually happened... Also: yay for wierd glitches! They are awesomely wierd! RandomYoshi^{Talk to me!} 09:20, 3 November 2011 (EDT)
