Pikmin 3: Difference between revisions

''Pikmin 3's ''main goal is to collect fruits. Not only does the collection of these fruits help save Koppai, but they are also juiced, which helps saves the 3 main captains as well. The more juice the player obtains, the more days they captains will be able to live in order to continue exploring and finding even better fruits. The game is said to take about 30 in-game days to complete, making it much larger of a game and longer than the previous Pikmin titles. If newcomers need more time, collecting enough fruit will allow for up to 100 days of gameplay, allowing plenty of time for completing the game as well as exploring the new worlds.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f63y1siGdw4</ref> If the player makes a mistake, such as running out of fruit or causing a [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin Extinction]], they can go back in time and restart from any previous day, or even restart the very day and area they are currently playing on.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VURVjk65tAM</ref>

''Pikmin 3'' will give a complete overhaul to the series' battle mechanics; rather than simply throwing Pikmin at targets, the player must analyze a target and determine exactly how it should be brought down. For example, some walls will be more easily broken if Pikmin attack them from the top and work their way down, and some enemies may react differently if attacked in sensitive areas, such as their eyes. Also, the throwing cursor's throwing path is always visible, and changes length and color depending on which type of Pikmin will throw next. Next to the cursor is a small number which counts the ammount of pikmin of that color left in the captain's group. To accompany this feature, rather than a single bubble displaying what pikmin type will be thrown next, 3 bubbles will be shown at a time, showing the next 3 pikmin types in the order they will be thrown, and how many of each are present.
