What a sad, slow game to fill the void between Pikmin 3 and 4.
I'm sure there's someone on the development team who thought the meandering, leisurely pace of Hey! Pikmin would be endearing. But the end result is mind-numbing disappointment. It's technically a fine 2D platformer, but there's nothing remarkable here, and it's especially frustrating because of what a drop in quality it is from the masterpiece that is Pikmin 3.
