The game is a very interesting leap forward from its predecessor. Giving Yellow Pikmin more of a purpose, as well as adding the Purple and White Pikmin make the planet feel that much more alive. The lack of a time limit hurts the game, as there are no stakes for completing the game fast other than personal reward. Frustrating at times with the randomly generated caves often creating abominations only seen in Mario Maker. Yet, those same caves give the game plenty of girth in terms of playtime.
