The Life Controller is a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is actually an NES Classic Edition controller, without the cable.

Collecting the treasure

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Life Controller is hanging from a cobweb on a tall ledge near the middle of the north of sublevel 2 of the Doppelgänger's Den. To collect this treasure, you must jump up to the ledge in the middle of the sublevel while the blue gates are deactivated. Then, switch to Oatchi and go back to the button alone to lower the red gates. Switch back to your player to defeat the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb guarding it, and throw 10 Pikmin at it to drop it to the ground.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“The cross-shaped structure on this device is not only satisfying to press up, down, and side to side but also clearly moves something. Strange to say, but I almost feel as though it's controlling...me. But WHO would be controlling me? I must know who it is!”

Olimar's notes

“I like pressing the different directions of the mathematical symbol, but there's something captivating about the two round buttons. I can't help but want to push them over and over as fast as I can. I don't want to break them...but I don't want to stop either!”

Louie's notes

“Nothing and no one tells me what to eat.”
