I owe a lot to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, thanks to that game I decided to try the "Olimar game" ...And I could not be happier I decided to do that. This is the first Pikmin game I ever played and boy... What a...Great and terrible entry point at the same time.

This game has a lot of what I love about all the other Pikmin games, including the never ending trauma of losing your whole platoon of Pikmin due to your own smallest mistake. Unfortunately, I think this game suffers from a little bit too much difficulty and random bullshit, alongside underground levels that are just waaaaay WAY too long and tedious.

So much so, that I refused to keep playing this game for the longest time, just because I had reached a point where I no longer knew how to continue, and Olimar's boss would constantly send me these desperate emails asking for help and begging me to pay his debt so he would stop sleeping under a bridge. I'm not kidding, the guilt was so strong that I simply stopped playing; I didn't want that man to die because of my incompetence, that old bastard.

Funniest part is, I did come back like a year or two later, and for the longest time I thought that I had beaten the game for sure, only to realize a few years later that Louie being stranded on earth is not the actual ending of the game and there were still more levels to play...

I am planning on replaying it, hopefully sooner than later. And this time I will not leave until I am sure I got the real ending of the game.
