Pikmin: Beginner Tips - Your Guide to Conquering the Triffid Hyperspace Cloud
Pikmin: Beginner Tips serves as a helpful reminder for returning fans. While this strategy game may appear simple at first, the controls and combat can quickly become unfamiliar. However, fear not! The first Pikmin game remains a fun experience, and with a few crucial tips, you can easily conquer the Triffid Hyperspace Cloud.
Avoid Losing Pikmin
One of the most frustrating aspects of Pikmin is losing Pikmin for no reason. To prevent this, remember these essential tips:
By following these tips, you can ensure that you never lose Pikmin unintentionally.
Ready for Days with a Time Limit
Unfortunately, once you finish the first day in Pikmin, you'll start playing with a time limit. Each day, you have a certain amount of time to explore and collect ship parts. If the clock hits zero, you'll see a cutscene, lose your Pikmin, and be forced to restart the day.
However, there's a bit of leeway. If you collect at least one part daily, you'll complete the game. But it's always beneficial to aim for a buffer. Try to collect multiple parts in a day, allowing you to focus on exploring, building your Pikmin army, and breaking terrain to make future days easier.
Even if you can't collect parts yet, it's wise to prepare for upcoming days. Sometimes, you'll spot something important on the map, like a bridge that can be built just outside your base in the Forest of Hope. Although you may not have the necessary Pikmin to reach it, you can still build the bridge once you find the right Pikmin. This ensures that you won't waste Pikmin on a crucial part.
Take a moment to look around and check the minimap, even if a day is coming to an end. You might discover minor optimizations, such as the ability to build a bridge to access a part hidden by a giant leaf canopy in the Forest of Hope.
Stay busy and be prepared to delay the following day. This small change can make days you'd otherwise want to skip much more valuable because you can prepare and create a path to face different bosses.
Stay Safe on One-Day Planets with Terrain Damage
On several planets, you only have one day before the planet disappears, forcing Olimar back to the ship. Your objective is to find all the ship parts or defeat the boss to avoid the bad ending where you don't achieve your goal.
