pikmin 2 was the first pikmin game i have ever played. I have a lot of nostalgia for the music in it. But the feeling I get when i hear wistful wild is indescribable.
In my opinion, this is one of the best areas the Pikmin Franchise has to offer (if no the best). The fact that this area is The Impact Site and The Final Trial COMBINED is simply amazing, going full circle ending Olimar's journey just where it started (since the location of The Dream Den is where the Main Engine was in Pikmin). Said feeling was amplified when I had played Pikmin beforehand, making it all the better. And, the best part: it's not a short Trial with a Final Boss or a gimmick labyrinth; is a well designed area (despite reusing two iconic areas) with an unsettling familiarity, great look and harder difficulty that drives you to the climax and end of Olimar's long journey.

Beauty still lingers. Fiery leaves, wild splendor- Covering all signs of that age-old chronicle. YIELD, is what the sign conveys.

the wistful wild is my favorite area in the game surface-wise, and getting to hear this the whole time i'm there only strengthens my love for the place.
This area always was one of my favorites. Though I do love the tropical wilds from pikmin 3. I guess I just like the atmosphere and aesthetic of it. Maybe I just like areas with a lot of water in them. although it’s not like the wistful wilds has a lot of water in it. and I know that the tropical wilds have a decent amount of water in them so I guess…
well it took me like almost my whole life but now i finally beat pikmin 2, i only got to day 223 (i found it hard figuring out what i was meant to do to get the last cutscene)
I love this song, really gives a peaceful yet deadly vibe, as this area is cramped with enemies. (Also can you extend the treasure version? I can't find one anywhere ;-;)
Out of curiosity, does the alternate sunset theme have variants like a normal sunset theme would have? I can't find these anywhere but I could've sworn there was.
@@flippedoutcookie I have beaten this game with no purples, no sprays, and no deaths so I'm likely far better than you and I still think Groinks are as hard as everyone says they are and are easily the hardest enemy in this game and arguably the hardest in the series. Also this isn't even the hardest Pikmin game, Pikmin 1 is harder by far and just because it's made for children doesn't necessarily mean it's easy, Rayman 1 was also made for children yet is widely considered to be one of the hardest games ever. I really don't get this perception of "made for kids = easy" when there are so many examples of difficult games made for kids and easy games made for mature audiences, in fact most of the hardest games are games that are made for kids while the majority of mature games are on the easy side.
@@tessaPMpro Groinks are only hard if you are a very young child who can't yet put two and two together. You're given two captains and fighting it is focused around that. (It even has the tail weakness to exploit) Also their artillery isn't some mega death AOE attack. It often fails to kill Pikmin even if landing shots near them. Pikmin one had less forgiving combat with enemies whereas two had more forgiving combat with enemies having bigger weakness' but two is still the more "difficult" game due to the encounters (both randomized and static) it throws at you where you can get wiped if you're casually playing. One is short and overall easier. Further more there are two types of games designed for kids. 1.) Designed for children to be accessible. 2.) Designed to stall a child through difficulty in order to pad out the playtime. (Older game titles majorly applied this tactic) Pikmin is designed to be accessible for children, and is an easy franchise. That's why people like you will artificially increase its limited difficulty by limiting what you can do or trying to beat the game faster while being limited. It's easy. It's designed that way.

*Wistful Wild*
By Paladin Young
Golden leaves falling,
silver drops from a grey sky.
Trees fade, mushrooms rise,
they eat from summer’s demise.
Summer falls, and life grows silent.
Beauty still lingers.
Fiery leaves, wild splendor-
Covering all signs
of that age-old chronicle.
YIELD, is what the sign conveys.
Nature is fateful.
that pensive sign is at rest-
Time, history’s tomb.
Wistful Wild is the new tale,
burying its resentment.

Finally, it can repose…
Rest, do not struggle…
Burgeoning Earth, listening…
“Yield.” Nature forgives,
and buries Their chronicle.

I see why now
definitely some crazy instruments in this one!

One of my favorite songs of the entire Ost.

Easily the best theme of Pikmin 2. My favorite variations are the Original in the Day, and whenever the Spiderwort is near.

Dream Den Sub Level 4 can go away. Armoured Cannon Larva everywhere with Anode beedles
Actually, that's Sublevel 4. It's still Hell, though.
The REAL Sublevel 5 has red Bulborbs, Fiery Blowhogs, and a treasure-carrying Fiery Bulblax.
