With the removal of caves and the smart the rebalancing and remixing of overworld items and puzzles, the Caveless Edition transforms Pikmin 2 from a disappointing slog to a pretty decent, bite-sized follow up to the original. You can run through this thing in a single afternoon and I highly recommend it. It's everything good about Pikmin 2 without any of the overlong, poorly designed, overly combat-focused caves.
