Pikmin Hints

If you have a hard time killing the mushroom monster(aka puffstool) in pikmin heres a glitch thats fun: first get your pikmin to trip it and then when it flips it will be getting ready to spray it's spores, get all your pikmin to fight it then just as it flips its mushroom cap wistle them back. if you do it right your pikmin will turn into mushroom pikmin and be under your cammand you can only move them with the C stick and will do tasks for you but will turn back to normal after they are done with the task.

on another note to stop the "mushroomification" wistle when the pikmin's stalk is floped down they'll come to you normal

Get 29 parts and go to Final Trial. Make your way to the big arena and smash down the gate. Make sure you have at least 15 Yellows and the remaining Pikmin Reds. Go around and look for bomb-rocks in the pipes(in one there should be enough for all). Now, dismiss ALL your Pikmin. Take but one Yellow. Wake up Rover(that's what I call him) and dismiss the Pikmin purposely in front of him. Quickly call the Reds, and start throwing. After many rounds, he'll start getting a raged look in his eyes like he'd just drunk and proposed to his girlfriend and she said no. This is bad luck. He will jump up and squash any Pikmin under him. If he smashes a bomb holder, it won't explode. Finally, when he dies, collect the part. It will most likely be near sunset so carry it as far as possible but NOT back or else the game'll instantly end. Spend any and all remaining days except one to loaf around and make Pikmin(my goal then is to make sure there are 100 flower Pikmin of each kind.)

Go to the Distant spring BEFORE day 15. Look for a kind of flower on the map. I always do this heres what i do(works every time!): Get out 50 Red and Blue. Make sure they are all flowers. If not, power them up with the grass and rocks(i reccomend killing the blowhog and snitchbug so they wont annoy you first), and dismiss the Reds near land and take the Blues with you. Go to the flower and attack the egg. Then some kind of deformed frog thing will come out(Smoky Progg). It will ignore you until base then it will attack. YOU attack with the Blues but dont touch the pool of smoke behind it or they will die. When it gets to land get the Reds and attack you should kill it easily i reseted the first time i saw it scared the bleep out of me lol but anyway when you kill it give it to the Yellows they die major twice in the game but the other thing is look far at the flower it will have a stem its hard to miss
