Pikmin 4 is Humanity's Greatest Achievement

I like to imagine Olimar only pretended this was his first crash landing in his distress call because he didn’t want to admit that he’d crash landed on the same planet four times

I’m glad schaff is going over something he genuinely enjoys

Louie suddenly appearing with no build up just kidnapping random civilians is a personal top 10 gaming moment.

My favorite thing about Louie in this is that it’s implied that the reason Louie try turning the koppaites into leafings is because in his expedition notes, he states that olimar told him to basically do what he does when it comes to their job, and considering he saw leafing olimar and moss creating more leafings before he encounter moss by herself. So as such Louie literally just saw leafing olimar doing that and went, “alright guess olimar doing that now for some reason, guess I’ll follow what my higher up doing.” Arguably funnier then him doing it for no reason.

Louie: I HAVE KILLED AND I WILL KILL AGAIN Everyone else: doh you lil rascal :D

Can't wait for Schaff's next video: "Why Artemis Foul is a Cinematic Doomsday Apparatus".

55:35 Pro pikmin 2 tip: >play through the tutorial once. >copy paste your save file 3 times. >Never touch the tutorial again (Also, you can just skip most cutscenes or at least mash past the dialogue whenever you can't, idk what he's talking about)

"Pikmin 4 has prepared me for Silksong" - my friend

17:15 "I'm kinda shocked the series never did a beach level until now" Pikmin 3 Tropical Wilds: "Am I a joke to you?"

Schaff doing this video is healing enough for the headache that was "Megamind 2"

"If the doomsday apparatus has 100 haters, I'm one of them. If the doomsday apparatus has 10 haters, I'm one of them. If the doomsday apparatus has 1 hater, it's me. If the doomsday apparatus has 0 haters, I'm dead."

I seen the Smoky Progg in Super Smash Bros Ultimate as the first enemy and was like, “oh is that like the second easiest enemy to the Bulborb like the Koopa is to the Goomba?”. I didn’t know this was a sign that this would be the hardest game of all when they used the hardest boss of another game as enemy 1.

I was so scared when Pikmin 4 was announced as usually fourth installments usually ruin trilogies of movies and even games but I was shocked when the game was as easily as fun as Pikmin 3 just without the supporting cast. The game was easily the most fun I had with a Nintendo game in quite a while I truly say it’s one of the best games on the switch period.

57:02 My headcanon that I'm fairly confident in is that like plants, the leaf on Oatchi's tail is a result of him adapting to the oxygen-rich atmosphere of Earth, meaning that if he leaves the planet, he'll suffocate and die. A really grim parallel to Olimar's mission in 1 and 4

Louie is truly the most funny little war criminal of all time. Bro treats the Geneva Conventions like a checklist. 💀

My understanding is that Louie was told by the president to follow Olimar, stay quiet, and do exactly what he does.

The simple fact that Oatchi exists gives years of happiness to humanity... This video game is truly an ode to fans, culture and gaming as a medium

I personally like to refer to the Pikmin fanbase as "my people" like Moses in Prince of Egypt, I wonder what Schaff thinks of that

Schaff, as someone who has been in the Pikmin community since the very first game, thank you for spreading the good word of the most underrated Nintendo series of all time. I'm so glad you made a video on each game in the series (my favourite game is 2 but it's okay I hate the Doomsday Apparatus as well) and it's clear you're as passionate of a Pikmin fan as the rest of us Pikminheads. Also thank you for not explaining the Moss being homophobic thing, I love to confuse the hell out of everyone who isn't on the subreddit

I had a very different experience with the Smoky Progg in the final dungeon being less threatening if you encountered it in Night Mode first. In Night Mode, you have Glow Pikmin, which if you have a big enough group, you can stun the Progg and kill it nearly instantly with no Pikmin loss. For me at least, this became my go to strategy with Proggs. Still dangerous, yes, but you have a simple solution. Now, halfway through this hellhole, you have no Glow Pikmin. The strategy does not work. You have to fight this boss monster with no cheat code. Add the music, and it is still terrifying. It's not fear of the unknown, but fear from knowing exactly how outmatched you are
