- The Pikmin franchise has long been considered a family friendly real-time strategy game...but what if that was all but a facade? In reality, the Pikmin games can be some of the most brutal and deadly games Nintendo has ever produced. From haunting enemies to death traps waiting for you and your Pikmin it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone when I say that these games are dangerous. But which one is the deadliest? Today we're going to answer that question.

Actual quote from Olimar's voyage log when you accidentally blow up a Pikmin with a bomb rock in Pikmin 1:
_"Oh, horrors! A bomb-rock explosion engulfed my Pikmin! That last horrified facial expression is burned into my memory..."_
Pikmin series is a family friendly strategy game
By definition of strategy games this includes warcrimes and thousands of casualties at the smallest mistakes
I feel bad when even a single pikmin dies
My psyche felt bad after playing pikmin 2 and pikmin 4 post-game pure pain

I know you say the ranking at the end is subjective, but I think it’s as close to objective as one could get on an opinionated topic like this. 2 has so many cheap shots at the player, 1 lacks the QoL additions the later games added, 4 is just REALLY long, so there’s a lot of ways you can lose Pikmin, and 3 is fairly easy, but has some tougher enemies later on.
Pikmin 2 be like: 100 bomb rocks dropped on your pikmin.

36:39 Electricity longer being instant kill was actually changed in Pikmin 3, not 4.
fun fact: using only winged pikmin against the scornet maestro is one of the easiest ways to see no casualties in it.
just, make sure they're all flowered, and dodge the scornet attacks, then charge him while he's defenseless. during the third attack just charge him in the middle of his attack.
Even easier strat is to separate your captains, and have a captain with zero pikmin be the main target (he likes to target the one you're controlling from my understanding. Kind of like the raging bloyster from 2).
Man, the Pikmin series is filled with so much charm! When Pikmin 4 came out last year and I played it I then proceeded to play the entire rest of the main series games, it was so, so worth it!
Thank you, Pikmin 2, for teaching me to master the art of savescumming. I really, REALLY needed it...
Pikmin 1 is the most strategic for 100% and Secret Boss Fight fourth hardest to 100%.
Pikmin 2 is the hardest at your own pace third hardest to 100%.
Pikmin 3 the hardest at being a speed based game first hardest to 100%.
Pikmin 4 hardest Jack of trade game being a mix of At your own pace to Speedy also second hardest to 100% with All Platinum'd.
That was the most accurate description of Louie I've ever heard...LOL

27:25 Looking at your team composition, you made that fight harder than it needed to be. Shaggy Long Legs can be beaten using only rock pikmin, which it can't kill. (This fact can easily be missed however, due to it being the only enemy in the game that Rock pikmin will actually latch onto and attack repeatedly.)
Happy NY mate!
As someone who plays no death runs, I measure it by how hard it is to not lose Pikmin imo i think every game makes it progressively easier.
Pikmin 1 has awful AI, busted level design and glitches that make you plantmen fall into the void randomly.
Pikmin 2 has some one the most dangerous creatures between bosses (looking at you water wraith!), roaming beasts and way more hazards (only time elec is instant💀) but resetting on floors makes it easy to avoid mass casualties, plus the sprays and purple pikmin are beyond busted.
3 and 4 are pretty casual comparatively, with bosses being more "scripted" events, your toolkit is vastly superior as well between the charge, extra captain and the busted Oatchi
Cool
Awesome insights! And Happy New Year to you too! I can definitely see Pikmin 3 and 4 being the easiest to do deathless runs on the number of tools given to you is crazy. Pikmin 1 surprised me I hadn't played it in over a decade but still thought I knew the general ground rules when going in. Hundreds of Pikmin later I wondered how I managed to beat this game when I was a kid 😅
Personally Pikmin 4 is an alternate timeline where nothing happened from the other games but everything exists.
I was thinking pikmin 4 was placed after the bad ending of pikmin 1
@@ACircleGuy2763pikmin 4 happens if olimar crashes in a different spot so he can find moss
@@DominicDiStefano-wf3rb Okay but do you have any proof of this
We all knew exactly which one was gonna be the most deadly, no one is surprised.
So a fun (and kinda dumb) fact about pikmin 4: enemies in the overworld actually do not respawn after you defeat them for the first time, unlike in the first 3 games. This makes grinding new pikmin much harder, especially if most of the enemies you killed via ice pikmin, turning them into nectar
There are a lot of smallish errors in the video. Won’t be highlighting them all, but at 39:15 it’s not that the game recommands reds, it’s that you have to bring only reds because the cave entrance is litteraly on fire.
it does almost make sense though with Pikmin 2 and 1 probably being the hardest since in Pikmin 4 it does state by the literal text that these guys have been limiting how many pikmin can come out at one time for survival, and by now have probably had so much prior training thanks to olimar
I think it's supposed to reflect that the pikmin are evolving as a species being able to hit harder, be stronger, and more ready to take on anything that comes their way as long as they have some sort of leader. with even olimar at times being "afraid" of them being sucked up into the onion which actually does happen here when he had to turn back for moss when she couldn't breath. and his oxygen being so low that the pikmin decide on their own to bring him to the onion
so I think it's symbolism of them becoming more advanced and now what used to be so scary and tense is now easy to them as well to take on.
The water wraith is not that scary when you realize In both Pikmin 2 and 4 you can skip all the treasure and go straight to the exits the first time and then once you beat him and come back again he’s not present so he kinda becomes a joke now that I shared this knowledge
The water wraith still re-spawn's after leaving the submerged castle in 2. This only occurs within pikmin 4 as the engulfed castle is a cave that transports you to another area of the map upon completion.
That's....not true. At least in 2
@@Teh_Sk3llyEven then, it’s not really viable. You can EASILY get all treasures in under five minutes per floor, you just need to optimize a little
Maybe in 4 but not in 2.
@@thelanktheist2626 I can confirm as i managed to do it, and it was my first time in submerged castle so I have not yet triggered the waterwraith spawn cutscene...
Bulborbs are REALLY easy to kill in Pikmin 1 and 2, just get a group of 20+ pikmin and use the swarm action to push all of them into its backside, it'll die in seconds.
Possible with Reds in 3. They're also stunlockable in 3. Just repeatedly snipe their eye stalks.
That is a terrible strategy in Pikmin 2. In 1, yes that works, but in 2 he will most likely shake them off or eat a few, always resulting in at least a few days or if you're lucky he'll keep shaking until he dies which is rare.
Poor Pikmin that were lost in this video :(
34:29 Where the heck was Waluigi (Pikmin 4) when the Pikmin of 1 and 2 needed him 🗿
3:26 Dwarf Bulborbs aren't the young of Spotted Bulborbs, they're just small.
For the whole bulborb situation, you can easily circumvent the problem by killing all the small ones first, retreating, and then dealing with the main one. Their lackeys can't help if they are dead.
Great video!! I wanted to ask, did you ever play through Olimar’s Tale? It’s some of the most fun I had playing Pikmin 4, and is some excellent late game content too
One thing: in the frozen inferno in pikmin 4, you can’t bring ice pikmin since the cave is surrounded by fire. So you’re forced to bring red pikmin.
The thing is, what is most deadly is subjective. With good strategies, all 4 games can have no deaths. However, I feel Pikmin 2 is THE most deadly, because of the intimidation of its caves compared to 4's.
absolutely AMAZING content coming from small creators these days.
wonderful video!
i spmehow managed to beat pikmin 4 with only 30-some deaths, including olimars shipwreck tale, because i didnt have the necessary spicy sprays to beat the man at legs without any deaths
44:18 you also encounter it in the night parts
9.4k views? It needs more! This is underrated
Did you play pikmin 3 deluxe on "normal"? The normal mode in deluxe is the easy mode when you compare it to the original wii U version
Wii U Giant Freaking Clunky Pad was so annoying to deal with I don't know how people deal with switching between controllers while on a time limit.
@@Ostr0easy, you dont switch controllers. Just play the game with the gamepad lol
The place you said was Australia probably actually is. The landforms in Pikmin 3 are in the shape of Pangea Ultima, a theroetical supercontinent that our landforms will form in the distant future.
46:40 if you had finished all night expeditions, you would know that the smokey progg appears in the 4th area and onwards, but only during night missions
can we mention that in pikmin 2, louie was valued at 10 pocos xD
💀
22:05 I just went in with olimar and sacho and punched the Gatling groink to death
That Blue Pikmin had some demons
Seeing the title alone I was already thinking about “it had to be pikmin2 with it unfair and brutal traps and the caves “ but damn 900+ frankly I don’t think any person will have that many deaths unless it their game or their first pikmin game but since you played recklessly I guess fair enough
What difficulty did you play Deluxe on? The Normal mode is actually Easy mode.
ayo kai your finally back on youtube, happy new year
I guessed the order of the game's deadliness correctly at the start of the video! I knew 3 would be last because it's much shorter compared to the others (able to be beaten in 7 days), as well as the countless exploits and low enemy HP. 2 is obviously the highest, and I guessed 1 because of the lack of QoL. I haven't done much with Pikmin 4 but I know about the first main bit, and it was very easy.
I have the pikmin poster on the left in thumbnail
As someone that has never played pikmin I find this very informative.
I think in terms of 'how difficult is it to not have pikmin die' the chronological order is hardest to easiest, 4 is easiest cause of oatchi, the rewind function makes it easy to not lose massive progress due to death, and the lock on feature 'which I do have a problem with how stiff it is' does help with ensuring pikmin don't get yeeted off somewhere they're not supposed to. 3 has lock on as well as well as the fights are decently easy, the addition of rock pikmin too allow you to basically have a 'shotgun' of damage. Whilst w doest have insta death lightning, water wraith, segmented crawbster, Gatling groinks, etc. You can reset caves easily and re-randomise them, if we assuming you not reseting, running around the cave floor first will help with getting the layout and then plan from there. As well as purple pikmin simply being overpowered in their first introduction. I find 1 the hardest purely for 1 reason, the sheargrub/shearwig glitch where if they've got a pikmin in their mandibles they become impervious to all damage until after the animation is done and your pikmin is dead
I can see how you rated it, and it's a pretty goo way to rate it. 'Technically' you could do a deathless run, but that takes a lot of practice, and doesn't reflect each games difficulty. Pikmin 2 actually has the highest amount of 'minimum' Pikmin needed, due to that doomsday item needing 100 purples. So even if you did a deathless run, you'd still need the most pikmin.
while bro was talking about the smokey progg my mind was just ( *Rapid Pikmin Death Sounds* ) and then i like snapped out of it one second after
Yooo new video!
Currently playing the WiiU version of pikman 3 and I can say delux looks far easier because the charge and lock mechanic are way easier to pull off
Electricity isn’t a insta kill in pikmin 3 either
You don’t need blue pikmin to fight the emperor bulbax. You can replace them with reds as blue pikmin don’t have any attack boosts. So basically, blue pikmin are useless while fighting the emperor bulbax
Also if you throw a captain across the scornet manestro or something bossfight and play as that captain with no pikmin, the scorned manestro will attack the captain with no pikmin
On the pikmin 2 you did not get the purple spray which sprays petrification
I think pikmin 4 could be the hardest pikmin if you not use ochie. But yet again there are some enemy that need Ochie to be beaten. This is the pity.
Intentional or not this seems logical to me. The first expedition is a short unintentional visit followed by a longer more arduous exploration, after that a proper exploration team arrives, and finally an even more advanced team. This is not taking into account any lore of course but still.
The frozen inferno can only be accessed by reds unless you cleared it already because of the active stove top, so it only recommends them since no other type can enter
Also, if you don’t have the fireproof armour, it won’t let you in at all. I didn’t know that in advance so I had to come back and spend a whole day on just that cave.
the garden of hope is in australia and the garden of hope is this gaames forest of hope which leads to my theory that pikmin 1 and 2 take place in australia
Which difficulty did you play Pikmin 3 Deluxe on? If you played on Normal Mode, you may have had an unfair perspective - it's substantially easier than the Wii U game. Hard mode is much more accurate to the original experience.
Unless it was actually Wii U, in which case carry on lol
Actually, normal mode is the Wii U original difficulty, and ultra spicy is the hard mode, but to me, it's not harder at all
@@XxEnderxX-lh5hf Deluxe has three difficulty modes. Normal, Hard, and Ultra-Spicy. Of these three, original Wii U is closest to Hard mode. Normal is substantially easier than the original, and obviously Ultra-Spicy is substantially more difficult.
@@XxEnderxX-lh5hf You can tell normal in the deluxe version is easy mode from the original because the bosses die significantly faster, usually before they can actually show off their gimmicks.
Watching you play pikmin 1 is painful af....
33:31 it is also interesting in terms mechanics as enemies respawn in caves but not the actual area which makes me sad killing the downy snagrets knowing that they won’t respawn and because they are so cute
Since i played pikmin 2 like a idiot, i have 700+ deaths, and 2000+ in every play through of every game (excluding hey pikmin)
While Pikmin 2 had the highest death count, I do have to point something out. The cave system in Pikmin 2 has a notorious checkpoint autosave system where when you enter a floor, the game autosaves. While this can mess you up if you go down a floor with botched pikmin numbers, it also allows you to redo any and every floor and actually beat the game virtually deathless.
Pikmin 1, however, has not only the tanky creatures, but botched hitboxes, and sometiems downright idiotic AI (TRIPPING pikmin, anyone?). Upon replaying all games and having foreknowledge of the bosses and creatures, Pikmin 1 continues to massacre my pikmin more than any of the sequels. A single wollywog jump can exterminate 25+ pikmin. Pikmin who aren't even UNDER it, and that doesn't cover Bulborb attacks or horrifying bombrock mishaps. Now, tack this on to the day limit, and each in game day being 15+ minutes, and while in any of the other games, you can redo a day just to salvage pikmin numbers, Pikmin 1 you may happily trade the deaths of 80 pikmin for successfully getting 3-4 ship parts in a single day.
As a person who doesn't lose a lot of pikmin i can't even fathom losing 925 lol
I usually just used Louie as a distraction while Olimar took the Pikmin to flank the enemy
Me, a pikmin 4 player: whats a louie?
@@terremotodelikes6551Louie's a useful bait tactic where the other captain acts as bait, but Oatchi is way too awesome for that tactic. I love pikmin 4 and appreciate how useful and cool he is. (and such a good boy too)

Imma update this 3 times, once right now, once halfway through, and once at the end:
Before watching: It's Pikmin 2, there is no debate, Pikmin 3 and 4 combat bois down to using the X button before the enemy even sees you, and all of Pikmin 1s hardest fights are either extremely cheesable (Emperor) or optional (Progg), Empress Bulblax alone is significantly more threatening than in any of the other games. There was also the bias of which game you played first, by the time I played 2 I had already beaten the other games (4 wasn't out back then), so I lost way less Pikmin than I would've if I had
Halfway: Noticed some incorrect information around many of the game's mechanics, while there is conflicting info on the wiki, flowers are not nearly 2x the speed, according to the technical information (presumably ripped directly from the game's code) Flowers in Pikmin 2 and 4 flowers have 1.41x and 1.42x speed compared to the leaves. As well as the Beady barely crossing the 1 foot mark, let alone 6 (Olimar is roughly an inch for reference). Using both the term "Wallywog" and "Wallyhop" to describe variations of creatures (when in the games they are either called all Wallywogs or all Wallyhops depending on the game and version of the game), etc... The quality of your play also shifts quite a lot between Pikmin 1 and 2, supporting the previous theory. I also noticed a major fallacy with the final bosses, choosing to cheese the Titan Dweevil fight but not the Emperor, adding further bias.
All the way through: Pikmin 3 had a pretty fair assessment, but you're overestimating 4 , most bosses there either struggle to attack at all or die in 3 seconds or less thanks to the charge, and the new types make it do basically nothing can successfully attack or even react once before dying. Also notices you critiqued things about 4 that also apply to 3, such as the electricity nerf. Or vise versa, applauding 4 for things Pikmin 3 did like with the water enemies. On another note, for the Water Wraith, he is MUCH slower in 4, barely able to keep up with drowning Pikmin let alone leaves, this combined with the MUCH smaller maps and faster move speed of the player makes him very easy to beat the sublevel at a casual pace without even seeing him. Many of the other returning bosses are nothing-fights as well, as you mentioned the man at legs and Empress bulblax, but the Progg can now be charged at his lower portions from the front, so one oatchi-rush and he's dead, the final cave is a victory lap and really doesn't have the 'struggle' you mention. The final boss also gives you all the types you need in the form of candypop buds, so idk how you didn't have yellows going in aside from a custom challenge, which is fine, but don't try to call it a hard fight because of it.
Sorry if i ask. But can you make the Current State of Every Warner Bros franchise?
No yeah that is Australia. PNF-404 is earth.
The mandibles of the Armoured Mawdad are breakable. It's only way of killing Pikmin is removable. It's completely useless
I'm pretty sure that Pikmin 4 would be the safest if Pikmin 3 was longer. As it stands, it's a much shorter than 4 with very similar number of Pikmin deaths between the two. You might be able to make a similar argument for deadliness between Pikmin 1 & 2, but I'm not certain added length is enough to close the 300 Pikmin death difference. At best, they may be comparable in deaths for very different reasons.
suprised you didnt talk about the fact this is a post apocalyptic earth also i wonder how hard pikmin 4 would be if you did an ochi less run or at least the bare minimum ochi uses
My guess is Pikmin 2 since it has the most "unfair" traps
2 timelines,
First, pikmin 1, all ship parts, pikmin 2, all treasures, pikmin 3, all fruits.
Second (two endings) pikmin 1, bad ending or pikmin 1 but moss makes olimar die, pikmin 2 but louie, pikmin 4, then pikmin 3? i think
Dwarf Bulborbs referred to as "children". Hahaha no, those are Breadbugs mimicking the mature Bulborbs appearance to cohabitate and steal resources. Those resources being edible pikmin
I had Pikmin when I was a child, I never got anywhere close to clearing the game. I don't remember even getting out of the first area lmao
These games are deadly because you’re bad at them. 500+ dead in pikmin 1??
Commenting for the algorithm
Nice video but also in Pikmin 3 electracity dosnt kill. It just stunning the Pikmins.
Hey Pikmin has one of the deadliest creatures in the entire series (Berserk Leech Hydroe) and you didn’t even talk about it
27:50 "prior knowledge", you mean the thing most newer fans at the time of pikmin 3's release WOULD NOT have? that criticism only works for veterans of the series and i'm personally having a hard time taking someone seriously as a newcomer to the series (i'm hoping to play pikmin 2, 3 or 4 this year as my first games to the series) when they start saying how easy a game is
for instance, a completely new player could vary well not know of the water wraith going into pikmin 4, nor would they know feeding bomb rocks to the emperor bulblax would stun and damage it, prior knowledge is a luxury only long time fans have and its growing more tiresome each time someone starts having that blatant nitpic
Pikmin 4 the 10 trials is the deadliest thing
You do realize you can take MOST bosses on, with oatchi alone right? After oatchi *dies* the game just Asks you to wait a coupple of minutes for him to wake up. And since you can controll oatchi DIRRECTLY. Hes alot harder to kill than normal pikmin ive spenth hours in caves, as almost oatchi ENTIRELY on hes own.
Olimar bad ending 😂
if the answer isnt 2 ill be surprised, but im sure there will be good reasons for it... but its 2 so i wont have to be surprised
Pikmin 2. For sure the deadliest is Pikmin 2.
