Master Pikmin 3 Deluxe Day 1! Learn Pikmin basics with Captain Charlie and navigate Alph's training mission to retrieve the SS Drake. Full walkthrough included.
Walkthrough
- 1Start as Captain Charlie. Follow the path and interact with the Pikmin to learn basic commands like whistling, throwing, and dismissing.
- 2Head towards the mushrooms, ignoring the crystal on the left path.
- 3Continue forward into a cave where Charlie encounters a situation.
- 4Switch to Alph. Follow the red Pikmin and collect his buddies.
- 5Throw all three Pikmin onto the 'Onion' caught in the tree.
- 6Locate nearby tiles and send Pikmin to build a bridge.
- 7Cross the bridge and collect your map pad, gaining access to the map and camera functions.
- 8Proceed across the bridge and collect red pellets from flowers to the right (two 1-pellet flowers) and to the left (two 1-pellet flowers and one 5-pellet flower). Be aware of bugs when heading left; dismiss Pikmin near them to have them dealt with.
- 9Return to the Onion and pluck new Pikmin.
- 10With over 20 Pikmin, push the cardboard box blocking the path.
- 11Head through the next cave and use Pikmin to tear down the sand wall.
- 12Continue through the cave to find the SS Drake and complete the training.
Tips
- On Day 1, there is no strict time limit, allowing you to learn at your own pace.
- When encountering bugs, dismiss your Pikmin within their vicinity to have them automatically attack and defeat the bugs.
- Hitting the red pellets directly with a Pikmin throw will instantly detach the flower from its stalk.
