@@frank9966 I have to admit I was a little concerned with the demo because my initial impression of the music was kind of underwhelming, but Scruff here has shown me just how much work they put into it with the more subtle details. Love that about Pikmin 4

32:06 In this spot, you can actually hear a musical change relative to the enemy. The amount of spikes still in the creature changes the amount of instruments used in the theme. When you approach it it also has a drumroll before the music starts.
On the Piklopedia screen, if you press ZL you can battle/interact with the creature you have selected and you even get to take out unlimited pikmin and items!
Ooh, that's interesting. The first panel Scruffy pulled down had yellow on the handle, hinting that Yellow Pikmin were needed, while the second panel didn't have the yellow handle. Neat.
I don't know if you noticed, but when the castaway gets eaten by the onion, it plays the same jingle from the bad ending of Pikmin 1 when Olimar suffers the same fate.
I find it cute that up until around 54:55 Scruffy is reading the dialogue in his character voices, but instead of saying the last line in Collin's voice, he instead just says "Copy that" in his regular voice; which means that he wasn't reading the dialogue, he was verbally responding to the Captain, in the way the game instructed him to.

Pikmin 4 was my first Pikmin game and I'm absolutely in love! I 100%ed game yesterday with 36 hours playtime over the course of 3 days haha. Your playthrough encouraged me to get the game and it was totally worth it. Thanks from a new Pikmin fan!
Something that I'm really loving about the caves is that the entrances and exits look like the irrigation systems I work with! It's really neat, especially because the exits seem to work the same way some sprinkler heads do!! Air/water pushes them open and allows for flow to occur iirc! Even if it's more fanciful than real life irrigation I still appreciate seeing those details.
A musician playing games is fun to watch, seeing them get giddy over the musical mechanics. I’d love to see professional game devs to play games, too, and watch them get excited over unique game mechanics.
So, like most of the rescue officers, Dingo does unlock a new ability. Now that you rescued him he will allow you you to skip Dandori chalanges/battles after you have failed it at least once. He won't get you a good rank, but he will allow you to continue the story.
If there's anything I've learned from Pikmin 1 is not to trust red pikmin alone with a corpse because they will go 'is anyone gonna get that' and not wait for an answer.
I think the most underrated addition to this game is the “look this way” function on the map. I have a TERRIBLE sense of direction and am always getting lost especially when I’m under pressure. So this was a real life saver for me.
The reason I can't stop watching these is just the stuff like. when you say "Is that a yam?" with so much wonder and enthusiasm. It's so fun. You have such amazing lets play charisma going for you.
once again im loving that this episodes are getting longer and longer with each release. its such visible proof of the slowly slipping resistance to how immersive this game can get! not to mention that it is activating ALL of scruffy's neurons at once. its very fun to watch 🤣
i like the running theme of dog-themed names in this game. Shepherd, Schnauz (like schnauzer), Dingo, and now Dalmo (like dalmatian) and Bernard. you could probably make an argument that Collin is taken from collie, too, but that’s a bit of a stretch
scruffy: i’m not freezing this one, i’m going to use it for yellow pikmin :) me: scruffy the marching ending motif is too intriguing. scruffy the red pikmin are carrying it back to the onion. scruffy you’re letting them walk away. scruffy
It’s nice to watch you take your time with this game, absorbing all the little details, stopping to smell the digital flowers. I love pikmin games, but because of the day system I feel the need to get through it as efficiently as possible, even though I know that it really doesn’t matter if I take an extra day to retrieve one last treasure I couldn’t get. It’s an easy way to spoil the series. The draw of Dandori is too strong sometimes.
Just got home after being caught in a downpour. I'm all dry and cozied up, with a nice snack lunch, and just about to dig into this amazing full-hour video. Your voice, and the Pikmin series as whole, is ripe for this ultimate-cozy experience. Thanks for doing what you do, Scruffy. :D
I am so happy to see you loving this game so much! An hour is such a treat fro, you, Scruffy! Also, did you know you can check floor completion percentage from the map screen to the upper right? It's very easy to miss. But it's nice to not miss buried treasures before you get the treasure gauge.
before the episode he was out of raw material he spent half a day ignoring a pile of raw material just right next to the base. It's cool to see how much he's distracted by all elements in the game i guess lol
i really do wonder what happened there, but it sounds like they were leaning closer and rolled the volume nob on the mic down? either that or they stopped talking and the audio mixing made it transition oddly.
The blue onion from the previous episode can be acquired by moving Oatchi to the lower platform, bringing 10 of the ice pikmin to bring the onion to the lower level, then refreezing the water and using Oatchi + remaining pikmin to get it. You do need buff level 3, though. Edit: nvm, just saw the disclaimer at 5:18
I KNEW the reupload of the miniboss music I've been listening to was different than in-game, even the minibosses have their own instruments, seemingly a kalimba in the Porquillion's case. That's so cool!! ...if not a bit inconvenient when it comes to listening to the ost online, lol.
I love the dandori battle caves, they’re so much fun. However trying to get a Platinum on all of them is kinda rough here and there for just how chaotic and random it gets for later battles
When you’re cleaning up the rest of any area, don’t forget Oatchi can sniff things out for you :) also, in case you’re curious, this is where the demo’s content would have ended if you played it
An interesting tidbit I learned from watching you and somebody else: you found the yellow onion at the sun-speckled terrace, and they found it at the blossoming arcadia! I was already surprised that the game had both yellow and blue onions in the first area, but you can get them in multiple places too!
The fucking drawing of moss on the thumbnail made me laugh oh my god If scruffy ever actually makes a piklopedia episode where he just reads every log I would listen to that like it were an audiobook.
Aaaaaa, you got to a "tough enemy!" I fucking *love* the drumline. The drumline is the same for all the minibosses, and they get a unique accompanying instrument. Porquillion gets a kalimba here. I still don't know what all of them are, as not all of the soundtrack has been properly uploaded and labeled to TH-cam yet, and i also don't own the game yet. Looking forward to discovering them with you!
A lot of people are just dandori-dandori'ing their way through like they're growing leaves. Meanwhile, you're actually taking the time to enjoy the art and the music and the world that Nintendo spent those 10 long years crafting. And, honestly, I have a lot of respect for that.
Some tips for later in the game, I recommend you always ride oatchi because it’s a little faster plus you pikmin can get thrown a little higher. Use oachis treasure finding ability because they’re are treasures you may not find so easily
For dandori battles and challenges the gold piles are much more useful than you would think since it is worth areound 10 to 20 points which is how olimar caught up at the end of the first battle
your study of the sound design is so on brand but is so interesting and makes your lp stand otu so much from the few others i'm watching. it's also making me appreciate this otherwise underwhelming soundtrack, and makes me so excited for when you get to a certain area of the game. i can't wait for yoru fully diagnosis video on this game's sound design. Dandori Battles and Challenges will be much easier if yous tart treating oatchi as his own captain, rahter then just some mega pikmin. trust me, it gets real real hard if you don't start splitting up from your dog. though when you are together, you may as well ride oatchi most of the time, as oatchi moves faster than you good on you for realizing it was a crushign enemy. i did not. i lost my first pikmin to that cylindrical stone.
I know many people say this but I believe in happy noises, these are sounds that make people feel good. Some examples are rain on a tin roof, bubble wrap popping, a kittens meow. For me Scruffy’s intro is one of my happy noises
Thanks for another banger of a video Scruffy I really have enjoyed watching you play this game pointing out things I would have never noticed when I was playing, also about the blue bulb I have a hypothetical way to get the blue bulb without 50 pikmin. If you freeze the water get 10 pikmin over there then take 10 of the ice pikmin that are freezing the lake and run across it as quickly as possible in order to get them climbing before the water unfreeze so they can pick up the bulb and hopefully they take it onto the air coming out of the ground and it flings them and the pikmin over the water
Hey scruffy, I can’t speak for everyone, but I speak for myself when I say that if the entire next episode is just you reading the piklopedia, I would not be disappointed, even remotely.
This is my favorite series on TH-cam rn, also if you don’t know you can rush into a wall with oatchi to do extra damage and put all your pikmin on too 😁
Nah that's just what remains of the helmet light I think. Our player character and everyone else with a helmet has a lil glowy antenna on top of the helmet, maybe makes them easier for the player to see?
I love that scruffy started off wanting these episodes to be a half hour, and now we’re getting a full hour. It’s awesome

I like how Scruffy says that he “just barely scrapped by” the Dandori Challenge as if he didn’t get a platinum badge on his first try.
11:59 "He had a secret weapon of some sort" Your pikmin broke the wall, and he stole the pile of gold nuggets behind it. Oof

A little dandori tip, if you ever charge oatchi at the hydro jellies, he’ll break it in one hit
We're going to need extra episodes just dedicated to Scruffy reading and playing around with the Piklopedia
Don't forget, the corpses in the caves give you sparklium!! It's always good to collect those.
Oatchi is so cute, definitely the best character in this game. Such a good boy!
I can't wait for Scruffy to mess with the engage and observe functions of the Piklopedia. Easily best part of it all.
