THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS FOR PIKMIN SHORT MOVIES AND POSSIBLE GAME SPOILERS WHICH ILL MARK WITH A AND ELABORATE ON AT THE END This is my second review Story 7/10 Plot Synopsis and Review of Story: Pikmin Short Movies consists of 3 short but very charming Pikmin related stories. Short 1 Olimar is seen eating something but unknowingly makes it seem as if he is eating Pikmin. A Blue Red and Yellow Pikmin walk in and see Olimar using a Juicer to make fruit juice with the Pikmin. The 3 Pikmin get terrified and slowly walk back as Olimar approaches them while drooling and reaching out. The Pikmin imagine what kind of horrific meal theyd be turned into by the Captain Olimar and get backed up into a wall bracing for impact they hide their faces and Olimar makes the grab.... for some carrots we breath a sigh of relief and the short ends. This short is charming yet horrific and the plot twist at the end was quite alright not really one if youve played the games though. Short 2 The second short doesnt feature Olimar at all rather relies entirely on the Pikmin to provide comedy and it delivers. We follow a Red Pikmin who finds some treasure in a bottle presumably treasure to get and give to Olimar and through a series of events ends up stuck inside of the bottle itself. Some fellow Pikmin friends try and help the Red Pikmin including a Yellow Pikmin using a bomb rock to blow up the bottle. However by the end a bunch of Pikmin form a rope using the THICC Purple Pikmin as the root and pull free the Red Pikmin. The short closes off with the Red Pikmin on top of the bottle being carried by other Pikmin and a THICC Purple Pikmin following. This short is possibly the cutest short as we get to see how Pikmin act with each other while a Captain isnt around. Short 3 This final short is the longest and most gruesome one yet. We see Olimar guiding an army of Pikmin in and around an Earth Bulldozer getting parts to presumably earn money for Hocotate Freight. We see some Yellows activate electricity and a bit of comedy. Now lets get to the D E A T H S. A White Pikmin probably dies by getting launched into space by a THICC Purple Pikmin. A Red and a Blue Pikmin die to a Bulborb attack and a Blue Pikmin dies to electricity. For a light hearted series thats quite dark especially hearing the Bulborb crunch up the Pikmin. It DOES die at the end though giving us justice. We get to see so many cute Pikmin interactions and at the end we see Olimar make over 1 trillion Pokos. This was my favorite short in this collection and I had so much fun watching all of the characters interactions. 420http://38.media.tumblr.com/43ea08b8b67c790982b1d00a13eb3ae8/tumblrnep1h7xVvC1qg0b7fo4500.gif Characters 7/10 Olimar: We dont really see any development in our intrepid explorer hocotatian Olimar but he still provides a good characteristic to contrast with the Pikmin. I wish we couldve seen Louie President or the Koppaietes though. Pikmin: These lovely little plantimals add so much charm. They are the cutest Nintendo characters dont me I wish Rock and Winged Pikmin made an appearance though. 420https://64.media.tumblr.com/f171025dff51e3517dbe465f20b00b82/tumblrnemwmi9E6i1rrftcdo1400.gifv Animation 10/10 Nintendo needs to make things like this more. This 3D animation works PERFECTLY for these shorts and all the surroundings look exquisite. 420https://i.makeagif.com/media/11252015/Tg8LD4.gif Sound Design10/10 Amazing sound design all the Pikmin heave ho sounds are so cute and the enemies sound great as well. And the Pikmin Death SFX are quite frankly horrific. 420https://64.media.tumblr.com/e00d15dde8125d9aa792693b74654bbd/tumblrog922zSuUx1r0fu7go1500.gifv Enjoyment 9/10 I wouldnt be making this review for a niche anime/series if I wasnt invested so if course I enjoyed every second of my time here. I deducted one point because there wasnt a real story but thats hardly a problem Pikmin as a whole always puts a smile on my face Conclusion This short has so much charm and personality and lets us dive deeper into the Pikmins personalities that we couldnt get from a game if you love Nintendo and especially if you love Pikmin youll love this short series. Also Nintendo give us Pikmin 4.... please. Message: Go buy Pikmin 3 Deluxe so that us Pikmin fans can get a Pikmin 4 please kthxbye. Favorite Character: Olimar He is also the only proper character Favorite OST: The Forest Of Hope Favorite Quotes: Good Great Excellent and Perfect Apparently the Pikmin say these although not without proper teaching Final Score: 95/100 Recommendation Level: 5/5 If youre a Pikmin Fan 4/5 If you are not a Pikmin Fan Thank you very much for reading please leave any feedback you have on my Profile 420https://media1.tenor.com/images/56a2960201a59b1e9487b336c953f218/tenor.gif?itemid=12003882 Game Spoilers/Relations :
