It also is a cute way to show a different side of the story for Olimar and Louie to flesh out the narrative of Pikmin 3. It isn't widely different than the story mode, meaning you will still be exploring and gathering materials, but the smaller time limit creates some tension that sometimes isn't there in the base game.
Some levels feature a different assortment of Pikmin that can be found that might provide a different theme to each level.įor instance, one level might have an abundance of yellow Pikmin with electric gates surrounding multiple areas. The levels from the story mode are reused here, but parts are sectioned off to create smaller walled-off areas. If enough treasure is found, the next level is unlocked with each becoming progressively harder. Each level tasks the two explorers with finding as much treasure as possible in a certain time period. This can be described as a small prequel to the main game and shows how the tag team got stranded in the first place. The new side story mode featuring Olimar and Louie was also a fun break from the normal Pikmin experience. Hard mode gave me a challenge without being too brutal whereas ultra spicy can really test your skills on a second playthrough.
I would recommend starting on hard and only change it to normal if you would like a more relaxing and stress-free experience.
I spent about 25% of my playthrough on that option and found it to be ridiculously simple. I do wish the nomenclature for these difficulty options was clearer because normal can probably be characterized as an easy mode. Firstly, there are 3 different difficulty options that you can choose from normal, hard, and ultra spicy. Yes, there might be a few nitpicks I will get to later that could have been handled a bit differently, however, Pikmin 3 Deluxe does offer new things to do and new ways to experience the game for veterans of the series. Organizing and planning out your day is the name of the game and nothing is sweeter than creating a hyper-efficient squad to gather fruits or takedown enemies while you are off completing another task.Īs I stated, this isn't just a simple copy and paste port job. On top of that, players can control three different characters which can all gather their own Pikmin and explore other areas of the world. Rock Pikmin offer more damage in battle and can break glass and pink can fly. Red Pikmin are immune to fire and are great in battle, blue can breathe underwater, yellow are resistant to electricity and can be launched higher than others. Players will explore a variety of levels and find different colored Pikmin that have varying abilities. You then must gather the team and explore the strange planet to gather missing parts from your ship while also acquiring different fruits to bring back to your home planet, all by utilizing those adorable Pikmin we have come to love.įrom a pure gameplay point of view, nothing really has changed. However, their ship crash-lands, leaving the team stranded. The game begins when the crew finds a far planet that offers a beacon of hope for the inhabitants of their home. Pikmin 3 Deluxe tasks Alph, Brittany, and Captain Charlie with gathering enough fruit to save their home planet of Koppai. " Pikmin 3 Deluxe a great port that will provide an enjoyable time for returning players with more difficulty options and a brand new game mode."
