Amazing work dude omg Wii version, I see, is that why you throw a pikmin into the armored cannon beetle's blowhole instead of using the camera trick? P.S. I loved how you left the question of going to sunset unresolved; good ending :)
There's no good time with 40 pikmin later to get it and often it's much closer to the ship so you aren't really waiting anyway. It slows other stuff down too and gets in the way
