Did you miss last week's video? Don't worry, that's just how you know the Youtube algorithm is working: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDqxfF7pbsY">https://youtu.be/bDqxfF7pbsY?si=g1Bgc2r6ln2zZXrj</a>

For those curious, is it actually very possible to get ship parts out of the water. Lemon was on the right track, he just needed another object like an enemy corpse or pellet to push into the ship part onto land. For a more in depth showcase I would recommend looking up Mokaygee's Red Pikmin only run of the game.

You know, in my old age I had forgotten how simultaneously wholesome, bittersweet, and god damned DARK that ending of pikmin 1 is.

This is the kind of video which turns Pikbois into Pikmin.

genuinely heartbreaking to watch you reset days after getting parts in the perfect position to waypoint reset onto dry land the next day. you came literally so close to beating this without realizing it

Using dearly beloved during the ending is a low blow Lemon. Such a good pick.

That ending was crushing. Definitely did not see it coming. The struggle, the heartbreak, the grim acceptance of you fate. Dam, you really used your writing skills to turn a failed challenge run into one of your most emotional endings. That's what makes you great Lemon. It's not just about how you play the game. It's how you tell people about playing it. Great video, despite my tears I really enjoyed it and was once again blow away by your skills as a storyteller.

One correction at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5cQ4546PDw&t=600">10:00</a>.<br>Flower pikmin also trip less.<br>So that can technically count as becoming better fighters because if they fall off an enemy and need to run away from being killed, not tripping can let them live to fight again.

So, here's how Pikmin 1's win condition works.<br><br>If your only goal is to escape the planet and get the neutral ending, there are only 29 ship parts. Collecting 29 ship parts unlocks the final area which contains the final ship part, which is optional. There are five optional ship parts in the game and, ironically, Lemon already collected the other four. The Nova Blaster, Space Float, Massage Machine, and UV Lamp were the optional parts. If you're not going for all 30 ship parts, there is literally no point in collecting those parts at all.<br><br>Out of the 11 parts Lemon couldn't collect, 10 of them were required. The game was rigged from the start.
