Pikmin (GCN - 2001)

A good bit of this is spent getting re-acclimated to the controls, being several years since I last played it. I retrieve the first ship part, the Dolphin's Main Engine. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

I tried and failed to get the 2nd ship part in The Impact Site. I don't think I ever noticed the wood thingy that the pikmin can extend to be a ladder, first seen at 2:45, during my playthrough. I then move on to The Forest of Hope where I pick up the Eternal Fuel Dynamo. Near the end of the day, I blunder into the water, stupidly killing a bunch of Pikmin. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Staying in The Forest of Hope, I discover the yellow Pikmin. I'm able to find and get the Whimsical Radar back to the ship just before the end of the day. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Still in The Forest of Hope, I pick up the Nova Blaster on Day 4 and the Extraordinary Bolt on Day 5, opening up access to The Forest Navel area. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Moving to the new area, The Forest Navel, I discover the blue Pikmin. I recover the Automatic Gear on day 6 and the Ionium Jet on day 7. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Staying in The Forest Navel, for some reason, the Space Float is sitting in the landing zone. I think it was in that creature I ignored that was harmlessly wandering around, pulling a blue pill and Pikmin, in the last video. After spending most of the day trying to get the lay of the land and figuring out what to do next, I do find the Gravity Jumper, getting to it in probably not the preferred method. This finally puts me ahead of the pace of one part recovered per day. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Still in The Forest Navel, I spend most of day 9 trying to open up paths before finding the Libra, which I'm able to get returned to the ship on day 10. Also on day 10, I recover the Analog Computer. I'd forgotten that red Pikmin are immune to fire. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Now that I have command of blue Pikmin, I head back to The Forest of Hope where I pick up the Sagittarius. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Staying in The Forest of Hope, I quickly recover the Shock Absorber. The rest of the day is mostly spent killing large ladybug-like creatures. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.

Back in The Forest of Hope again, on day 9, I defeat my first boss, getting the Geiger Counter from inside the dual burrowing birds. On day 10, I'm able to recover the Radiation Canopy beyond the large boulder spitting beetle-like creature. Played on a GameCube using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.
