![]() There are multiple endings and the one you see will depend on how much fruit you’ve collected. You have a limited amount of time in each day to find as much food or fruit as possible and complete any objectives. The Story plays out in days and there are multiple regions to explore. Even the Mission mode is made significantly easier with two players. The higher the difficulty, the shorter the days get and the stronger the enemies. If you play through the game on Normal with another person, you can blast through the Story pretty quickly and easily so veterans of the series may want to play on Hard on their first run. Two players are given a Bingo card and must collect the enemies and fruit on their card and the first player to complete a line in any direction, wins.īeing able to play through the Story mode with another player is significant and can make the experience much easier, and I think it’s pretty obvious that the new difficulty levels were added to balance this out. Bingo Battle is the game’s competitive multiplayer mode. The Mission mode comes with three sub-modes which are pretty self explanatory – collect treasure, battle enemies, and defeat bosses – and just like the Side Stories, you are awarded medals based on your performance in each stage. The Side Stories are additional missions with specific objectives to complete and you are awarded medals based on your performance in each mission. The Story mode is your typical Pikmin experience and we would recommend playing through that first. Pikmin 3 Deluxe comes with several game modes including the Story mode, Side Stories which need to be unlocked, Mission mode, and the Bingo Battle mode which requires two players. Ultimately, I like all of the new additions and feel that most of it adds more longevity and replay value to the experience. Deluxe also features some tweaks to the gameplay, controls, and brings back the Piklopedia which originated in Pikmin 2. This lets you continue and complete a mission even after the time limit has run out but a new score will not be saved. Badges have been added to the game which are like achievements that are unlocked by meeting certain conditions and an “After Hours” feature has been added to the Mission mode. The Deluxe version of Pikmin 3 includes quite a bit of new content including multiple difficulty levels, the Side Stories which are just additional missions, and now the Story Mode can be played cooperatively which is how we played through it. Olimar’s Assignment centers on the duo repaying another debt and Olimar’s Comeback centers on the duo recovering ship parts so they can repair their ship. Pikmin 3 does include two side stories that follow Olimar and Louie, the protagonists from the previous games. ![]() On their quest, they find data files left behind by Captain Olimar and suspect he has the key. After their ship crash lands on PNF-404, they gather food and search for the “cosmic drive key” which they need to leave the planet. ![]() Set on PNF-404, the same planet from the previous games, the story follows a new group of tiny extraterrestrial explorers – Brittany, Alph and Charlie – who are searching for food to bring back to their home planet Koppai. An enhanced version containing all the DLC along with some new content was released for Switch in October, 2020 as Pikmin 3 Deluxe and that’s the version we played for this review. Developed and published by Nintendo, Pikmin 3 was released for Wii U in August, 2013. It was followed up by the long awaited Pikmin 3 which came out nine years after Pikmin 2. Pikmin 2 expanded things significantly and offered a lot more content and variety. Compared to its sequels, the first Pikmin does feel a little bare but the gameplay is fun and unique and the game makes for a good foundation. After that, I played through the first two games for the first time. The series has always intrigued me and Pikmin 3 came out for a system I actually owned at the time of its release so I got it and enjoyed what I played. Pikmin 3 is the first game in the franchise I played.
