Pikmin

Pikmin
Pikmin may be small and plantlike, but they can be a space traveler's best friend. Stranded on an unknown planet, Captain Olimar must enlist the help of these native Pikmin to rebuild his spaceship before the life-support system runs out. In the meantime, you'll have to fend off attackers and solve various puzzles. To produce additional multicolored Pikmin you must defeat enemies and carry them back to the Pikmin nests called onions. But beware--watching giant predators gobble your Pikmin might make you angrier than you'd expect.

Hint: Shock Absorber
Get 35 to 40 Red Pikmin and take them to a ledge where you find a pellet with a "5" on it. Press the C-stick to launch them faster on the ledge. Once all the Pikmin are on there, you should see a pool of water with a root going from the land into the water. Walk up the root onto the land and avoid the Spotty Bolborb. Call your Pikimin, attack the beast, and kill it. You should now see the part. Have your Pikmin grab the part. Note: If you have extra Pikmin you can take the Bolborb back to the Onion to gain Pikmin.
Hint: Space Float
On Forest Navel, there is a fat beetle-like creature that takes drags away caps. Send two or three Pikmin on the same cap he is taking. Your Pikmin will drag him into your onion, but the beetle will not fit. It will take away most of his life. Use your Pikmin to finish him off. Once he dies, the Space Float will appear.
Hint: Start with 24 flower Pikmin
At the start of the first day at the Impact Site, notice that you will have no time at the top. Feel free to get all the Pikmin you can into the Onion and then just wait, or run Omar around and practice moves. Because there is no time limit, wait until all your Pikmin grow to the flower stage. This gives you 24 free flower Pikmin to start the game
Hint: Sunset
At sunset any Pikmin not in their Onions will be eaten. However, if there are Pikmin in the landing zone or with Captain Olimar they will go to their Onions. Pikmin with Captain Olimar will be dismissed before he heads into his rocket.
Hint: Whimsical Radar
Find the Whimsical Radar in the Forest Of Hope and deliver it to the Dolphin. When sunset arrives, you will have your own radar. To access it, press Y and go to the results screen.
Hint: Winning battles
If you are in a battle and 50% of your Flower Pikmin die, run away and make your Pikmin feel alone. Then, take three Leaf Pikmin and put them in front of your enemy. Get the rest of your group and watch them die. Then, continue and your Flower Pikmin will most likely win.
After throwing Pikmin at an enemy, simply "C-rush" with the rest of your Pikmin to finish it off.
Reggie001.
Most of the monsters have a small amount of life. Therefore, you can defeat them with Captain Olimar. Although some have more life, it just will take more time to defeat them. To do this, hit them, go to the back of the creature, hit them again, go to the front, and repeat.
PIECE OF CRUD.
Hint: Yellow Pikmin
Take a Yellow Pikmin acquired on Day 2 and let any animal that can eat a Pikmin eat one with a bomb. Once this is done, the creature will chew on the Yellow Pikmin, and the bomb will explode inside them, killing it in one hit. This also kills the Yellow Pikmin, but is very effective way to defeat a Bos,s such as the giant bird in area 2, very quickly.

Life guards
If you are ever going near water with reds or yellows make sure to have about 10 blues with you. Leave the blue in places where you think your reds or yellows will fall in and dismiss them with X. If any of your red or yellow pikmin fall in the blues will then throw them onto dry land.
