The trial version says, 'You can clear it by collecting 1,500 energy and finishing the day.' In addition, the saved data you played can be carried over to the product version.



At the beginning, a movie flows, and Captain Olimar, the main character of the Pikmin series, appears. In this work, Olimar, who crashed on an unknown planet, tries to repair the spaceship in cooperation with the mysterious creatures 'Pikmin' he met there and the dog-like creatures 'Space Dogs'.



First, start with Olimar riding a space dog. You can control space dogs to move around, and call Pikmin with the B button.



Jump with the X button, and hold and release the X button to perform a rush that can push or break solid objects.



You will also encounter scenes where you fight enemies by making full use of rushing.



Olimar manages to retrieve the 'Space Musen' from the enemy and sends out a distress signal. The rescue team who noticed the signal headed for the planet, but this rescue team was also distressed as soon as they arrived at the planet. However, there is still one new recruit (player) left at the headquarters ... A movie flowed.



The operation of Olimar is, so to speak, a tutorial. Full-fledged gameplay starts here. First of all, I will finish the character makeup.



A new member who landed on a planet where Olimar and the other rescue teams should be.



There, he meets Ochin, a member of the rescue team.



Ochin is small, so you can't climb on it, but you can command it to pull big things or carry things.



Succeeded in meeting 'Collie' who is a member of the rescue team after passing through the obstacles.



I will go into a deep hole to head to the spaceship where the rescue team came on board.



Discovered the captain of the rescue team 'Shepard' being attacked by protists in the hole. Manipulate Ochin to defeat the enemy and save them. Shepard seems to be wondering, 'Ochin should only listen to me ...'.



I manage to reach the spacecraft, but it turns out that the engine is running out of energy due to overheating.



Therefore, we decided to collect glittering 'treasures' that have fallen on the ground and use them as a substitute for energy. Start exploring the surroundings.



A strange creature 'Onion' found during the search.



Pikmin emerges from Onion.



Throw Pikmin with the A Button to make them stick to objects, carry objects, or attack enemies. By collecting a lot of Pikmin, you will be able to carry even heavy objects.



Exploration ends when the end of the day comes. The results show the Treasures you collected that day and the amount of energy you get from Treasures. The main game content of Pikmin 4 is to repeatedly explore and collect treasures like this.



There are many types of Pikmin, but Pikmin 4 will introduce a new 'Ice Pikmin'.



Ice Pikmin can be thrown at squishy obstacles to freeze them. Effective against obstacles that cannot be destroyed without freezing.



He aims to save the entire rescue team by breaking things with Ochin and carrying things with a large amount of Pikmin.
