IN DEFENSE OF THE IMPACT SITE:
It's kind of like an area to chill out and try recovering your pikmin populations due to the bullshit the game throws at you later on, to remedy pikmin 1's difficulty a little bit
I respect that, but i just think it's kind of boring. Whenever I go back for the one treasure, I spend the rest of the day restocking my Pikmin supply, but I still have trouble filling out the day. I don't like going back afterward because i try to challenge myself to take less days each time.
14:48 That friend of yours is so right! He’s probably super smart and attractive and thinks you ranked Twilight River way too low but is respectful of your opinions because this is all in good fun and he’d never wanna do anything to ruin your 10+ year friendship.
Just a hunch!
Hmmmmm I have a feeling this is a certain someone mentioned in the video 🤔
You put the litteral peak of level design in gaming at second to worst I can't even finish the video.
Small correction. The formidable oak does actually have new enemies since it’s the only place in the game that has watery blowhogs and shear wigs. :DD
Really? That’s cursed as hell.
Glad this popped into my recommendations, great video I’m interested in seeing your ranking video on the cave levels in Pikmin 2.
Me too
I remember the forest navel so well, somehow spent more days there than distant spring. I'll never forget going into that open room blindly as a kid with my dad watching and the beady long legs slaming into half my army ruining everything, pops was laughing at me for the rest of that day.
Could not possibly disagree more about the Forest Navel; I feel like it did the best job in the first two games of using many types together, and its two boss fights are among the most iconic in the series.
Would also disagree that Perplexing Pool is the last level before Wistful Wilds; I'd give that distinction to the Valley of Repose, since most of it requires blues to access, and the caves are harder.
I also like Final Trial and the landing site. Sure, they're small, but for the one or two days you're there, they're interesting enough; the boss fights take long enough that the few days there are still full imo
All very respectable opinions! Personally, I've just never been too much of a fan of Pikmin 1 (probably bc 2 was my first game lol), and I feel like that rubbed off on me for this video.
@@Shootkapow Fair enough; I still liked the video. I also played 2 first (and never got past the Forest Navel), but when I came back to it recently, I found that I liked 1's time scarcity over 2's pikmin scarcity. (2's special types and the fact that you don't have onions in caves mean that you have to play 2 much more slowly and carefully, which is not to my taste)
@@Shootkapow forest navel be at least top 7 just cause the music
This platform needs way more pikmin videos and this video is something my niche taste needed
Man, some very 1-dimensional thinking with how level design works.
The purpose of the gate in front of the emperor bulblax is to give you a brief amount of time to have a "what the hell is that moment". Will the boss wake up as soon as the fence is opened? Do you have to get close to wake it up? If there were no fence there, the player would just assume the trigger is to walk up to it, but the fence adds a layer of uncertainty as well as giving you that "what the hell" time.
Hm, i never considered that! I suppose there is some neat design there.
@@Shootkapow It's one of those subtly clever things that you don't realise unless you really look into it, and considering the music also starts to get a bit whacky the closer you get to him, the tension is built up a lot for the "what the hell" moment you get whilst breaking down the fence
Please tell me one person who actually thought that
people with brains. Game designers. Level designers. These people are smarter than you hacks give them credit for.@@sonic176yt7
5:45 There is at least one new enemy in the Formidable Oak- the watery blowhog's only appearance in Pikmin 3. I always hated that stage. That is probably my least favorite of all 3 games.
Assuming you haven't done the caves ranking yet i have a suggestion to massively improve Subterranean Complex. (It literally took it from dreaded to A teir fun to me)
Assuming the issue is all the death from explosions, try doing a white pikmin heist. For each floor leave all pikmin at the ship and have a captain run around using the careening dirgibugs to blow up all the hazards they can, if needed use yellows to kill the electric beetles, and then have white pikmin carry everything (treasures only) because they are faster than all enemies and so they will only die by running into electricity (which is the point if the initial running around with the captain).
Sometimes the solution to making a cave fun is a strategy change because the basic purple pikmin murder spree used for most of the game doesn't work. (This is also why Submerged Castle only lets you bring blues, to force a new strategy)
that's an interesting idea, but for me the big problem with complex is that you have to run around with the captains and defuse everything. if you don't even get to use the pikmin in half of the cave of a pikmin game, then it's a bad cave.
Top quality and underated channel!!!!
Forest Navel slander in MY recommendeds.....? (No but seriously great video :D)
Hell ye pikmin content! :D Interesting to know people have such varying and strong opinions on their favourite pikmin areas
Fantastic video 😁
IN DEFENSE IN FINAL TRIAL
the music is pretty good imo
true!
7:50 yep, that happened. Complete with Go Here because of Moss.
ok I dont know why it took youtube until now to show me pikmin videos but im happy it does, this is a good video
You are filling the void Dazz left on Pikmin
I plan to fill it for many months to come
Extremely good takes, actually. I hate the blob level more than words can comprehend, but you made a valid point for why it isn’t the absolute worst. Thin ice, but ice nonetheless lol. My brother is the big Pikmin guy so I’ll have to show it to him and get his opinions too haha
A brief comment on the final trail’s area music: I think the music was made in the way it is as a means to represent olimars waining sanity that is still making him go on (the whimsy feel of some parts of the theme) but olimar is still only barely sane after the countless days on this hostile planet with only small plant people to keep him “company” (the “dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun” loop of the theme)
The theme has more of an emphasis on its whimsy side than its “dwindling sanity” side because this is oilmars final ship part he can, and wants to, get so he feels enthusiastic that he can soon return home, he just needs to get his life savings first then he can leave.
The wall behind the emperor bulblax blocks more bomb rocks, allowing you to get more bomb rocks for the fight if you used most of them.
Great video. My first Pikmin game was also Pikmin 2
5:45 There are kind of new enemies, because the Shearwig and Watery Blowhog only appear here in story mode.
wistful wild theme is just too good!
frfr
this is the most unhinged tier list I've ever seen
that's just the shootkapow grind
@@Shootkapow I am all too aware of this now
@@Mex_Luigi well buckle up bc you're about to see a week straight of pikmin videos lol
@@Shootkapow I am more excited than a yellow picking up a bomb rock in the first game
Just came in my recomended and i agree with almost all of it
Wow, I was just thinking about how I was surprised no one has ranked the Pikmin areas as far as I know.
I was even more surprised with how much our opinions differ. My personal ranking is:
14. Formidable Oak
13. Final Trial
12. Distant Springs
11. Distant Tundra
10. Awakening Wood
9. Impact Site
8. Tropical Wilds
7. Forest of Hope
6. Garden of Hope
5. Perplexing Pool
4. Valley of Repose
3. Forest Navel
2. Twilight River
1. Wistful Wilds
Btw I subbed, looking forward to the cave Ranking!
Neat! I like how we're probably the 2 people who would rank valley of repose so high lol. The cave video is definitely gonna happen, but i have so much stuff in the works right now that it probably won't be for a little while. i do, however, have a video on how much i hate the forest navel coming out at some point (because the video passed 5 likes), so you and your number 3 ranking stay tuned for that lol
I want to join in on this
Here’s my ranking.
14. Valley of repose 😂 (I’m sorry I just think this level is so boring)
13. Distant tundra
12. Formidable oak
11. Final trial
10. Awakening wood
9. Impact site
8. Garden of hope
7. Tropical wilds
6. Perplexing pool
5. Twilight river
4. Distant Springs
3. Forest of hope
2. Forest naval
1. Wistful wild
I think a big part of my list is nostalgia. Pikmin 3 levels are amazing! But they are newer and I don’t feel the same sense of nostalgia with the new games (hence why twilight river is #5) the reason why forest naval and wistful wild are my favorites is because these levels gave me the biggest sense of accomplishment when I played the games. I remember my mom playing pikmin 1 and loving it when she got blue pikmin, and because of that I was really excited to get blue pikmin for the very first time. And for pikmin 2, I spent years trying to get to the wistful wild and when I finally got there, I think that might have seriously been my happiest gaming moment I’ve ever felt. So anyway, that’s my story, and ranking! 😄
My ranking
14. Final trial
13. Impact site
12. Garden of hope
11.Twillight River
10.Forest Naval
9. Forest Of Hope
8. Distant Tundra
7.Formidible oak
6. Valley Of Repose
5. Awakening Wood
4. Perplexing Pool
3. Tropical Wilds
2. Wistful Wilds
1. Distant springs
So, what did you learn about my opinion?
I like water
I like mass murder
I like nature
I like fish
@@frowner_and_co I love seeing other’s opinions, it’s cool to see how they differentiate from one another.
That being said, I quickly want to point out you put the forest of hope on your list twice. (The level you left out was valley of repose)
@@leightonjeppesen9016 auto correct oops, will fix.
BTW, the murder was a funny joke I just like challenge
You are pretty underrated
don't have any big thoughts on any particular locations atm but wanted to ramble a little, it helps in the algorithm and whatnot. the greatest overall strength shared by every pikmin location is how *small* they all are. the massive-feeling swamp of the distant spring/perplexing pool is like... a puddle, basically? playing pikmin really makes you appreciate tiny, seemingly insignificant things irl and the level design is no small part of that. say what you want about forest navel but that water bottle made me feel things when I was like 10. it's a mixture of an appreciation of small, beautiful things and a sense of horror as you really get a feel for how tiny olimar is compared to the world he's found himself on. here's an entire man whose brain is just like yours, whose civilization isn't much different from yours, but whose body is hardly larger than an ant. to him, a bottle cap is an ancient artifact worth as much as a year's salary. he's so small, and yet through his actions and especially his journal and piklopedia entires he becomes so relatable. he's just a normal dude but smaller.
yeah, it really does highlight the scope of these games
I love the Forest Navel so much. It can be frustrating and overwhelming but so incredibly satisfying to master its layout. It also has a really cool setting and atmosphere, though I certainly wouldn't want every Pikmin level to look so muted. I'd put Navel second only to Forest of Hope which is carried pretty hard by nostalgia for me (and the background music, an all-time favorite).
I also disagree pretty hard on Wistful Wild. IMO it's not very fun to explore and is kind of just a triangle, I'd put it towards the end. Just my opinions though, I think we just have different tastes as Pikmin fans. Pikmin 1 is my favorite, after all (shocker, it was my first Pikmin game).
I love pikmin
The bulborbs that he showed: man i dont get paid enough for this 💀
she* but yeah lol that's a mood
Although i disagree with you on some takes, it's really nice to see someone talk about pikmin and have competent gameplay in the background
I REALLY think you are overrating twilight river and The forest navel. I Dont have to much to say about the forest navel but twilight river feels to strikt as it almoast tell you were to go. It doesnt feel fun to play at all.
Btw if you see something ive spelled wrong is cuz of auto text.
I respect that! I rated forest navel so "high" because the final trial exists. as i stated, if trial was a full level navel woulda been number 14 easy. I personally have never had a problem with linear levels, but i get where people who prefer free open levels more. Growing up with games like mario sunshine and pikmin 2 probably helped some of that lol
@@Shootkapow interesting that you say pikmin 2 primes you to like linear levels because i consider it the most open world of the pikmin games. (If you are fast you can get 1 type per day with day 3 for whites and the new area having the tightest time window).
Once you get blues (so far always the last type to unlock) the game is fully opened up. And in 1 & 2 that happens relatively early and you can then finish the game in any order you want. (A good meme is rushing to submerged castle to get the pluckaphone and relive past trauma)
Personally i rate 3 below 1 & 2 because its very linear, and while nothing is necessary wrong with linear experiences (Sunshines levels, Pikmin 2's caves, Luigi's Mansion) i just consider a big part of pikmin to be the open enough world to let strategic variance exist.
@@jasonreed7522 i guess what i kind of meant was growing up with 2's caves and sunshine's levels as opposed to stuff like mario 64's extremely open areas. but yeah that is a fun way to play 2!
I wonder how big the areas are going to be in Pikmin 4
Hope they're bigger than 3, that'd be crazy
@@Shootkapow Just from the trailer the first location shown already looks way bigger than the maps from Pikmin 3
Why was whisper wild not its own section in the timestamps it's literally inside of Garden of Hope
idk who did the chapters but it wasn't me lmao
Wow, this is such an odd selection of takes, I did like 4 or 5 double takes just to ration it out. I love that XD Personally, Forest Navel is my #1 stage. Everytime I play the game I get all stupid happy when I hear that first guitar strum. I enjoy the hole-in-the-ground atmosphere and the layout a lot. I'd also put Impact site at the bottom then the final trial above it. Impact site is a ridiculously weak intro to the series, its music is really weird (not bad, just has to grow on you) and it's really empty and small. I felt sorta the same about Final Trial, but the feeling of working with all three pikmin at the same time without having to walk halfway across a full map really made it feel like a test of knowledge. And bulblax is a stressful fight sometimes! Distant Spring and Perplexing Pool would be in may A or B tiers, they're great but not quite Forest Navel and Forest of Hope for me
true
I think valley of repose should be lower. Not only bc of sub complex but also because the overall design of the place is essentially a long, linear stretch, which makes it really annoying to complete with any efficiency (and especially w/out go here command).
Yup hey pikmin has like 500 different maps with like 9 different styles
Btw could you make some more pikmin videos or if youre really an old gamer you could speak of the game spy vs spy the 3d version its a really fun game ive played since ive Been a kid
I haven't heard of spy vs spy but I'll definitely be making more pikmin stuff! It's really popular atm with all the support it's been getting (relative to the like 8 years before that where it was just like barren) and, i mean, i have to make the forest navel video now because i reached over 5 likes lol
Can't wait for Pikmin 4 to spruce up this list.
LIKE IMAGINE THE AREAS IN A NEW PIKMIN GAME!!!
You said there were no new enemies in the Formidable Oak
Thats the only location of Shearwigs and Watery Blowhogs(in the main story) though
I think it's hilarious that you played pikmin 1 second but put the pikmin 1 versions of the last four areas ahead of their counterparts, also HARD AGREE, even if I don't think they're the best
pikmin
indeed
Yo from one small creator this was very well edited and you have a lot of potential as a creator! I subbed and I can't wait to see you grow! Also I'd like to try to be friends if possible and it'd be cool to play some games and record together. Anyways have a good rest of your day!!
Pikmin^2 is nearing completion which is Pikmin 1 remade in the pikmin 2 engine sooooo
Wait there are 2 number 14
didn't rank every known inch on planet earth from pikmin bloom, 0/10 (In all seriousness great video 👍)
hello yes i am new viewer and i would like to see more like this please thank you
“Uhm actually The Formidable Oak has some new enemies, it has Shearwigs and the Plasm Wraith” -🤓
Hmm. Have you every tried the Creeper World series of strategy games? It is still relatively unknown as far as they go after leaving the flash era but the physics based water enemy is a really novel concept for strategy.
Edit:Grammar
I agree Navel is wack
pimkin
Forest navel 😭. My favorite area in 1
yeah the lilly pad mechanic is kinda crap
oh and btw, i'm curious about why you think winged pikmin is the best time! (its the worst type in my opinion)
new video coming out soon. be greatly afraid, miteo, for you have unleashed the vengeful pikmin spirit.
bean
I actually love distant tundra idk why you didnt like it as math as i did but ok
~~!!!SPOILERS!!~~ DO NOT READ ME IF YOU HAVE NOT SPOILED YOURSELVE ON PIKMIN 4 DEMO GAMEPLAY GUIDE
7:49 guess what
LMAO YEA crazy how that kinda worked out lol
Forest Naval is goated best in the series
ratio
@@Shootkapow L + no Libra🥺?
Bro seriously put Pikmin 2 stages above 1.
yeah because i'm right
Damn what did pikmin 1 do to you?
(Apart from mediocre AI obviously)
just gonna have to wait for the forest navel video for that 😉
Do you speedrun pikmin? I know speedrunning when I see it.
i've dabbled a bit, those were just a couple good runs i had lol. i don't do it much now but it was pretty fun
Switch perplexing pool and distant spring and go ahead and switch forest naval and twilight river(I fucking hate this level) and you got my tier list
You didnt include pikmin blooms 100 million locations smh
Great video, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with your opinion though... especially forest navel 😦
Nuuuu pikmin 1 good pikmin 2 less good! Ur not supposed to have a different opinion!!!
Nice video but maybe calm it on the negative jokes, comes off as whiny at points.
Bad takes
