Courtyard Commands is the first training stage in Dandori Academy in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy. It is a very simple level, serving only to teach the player the basics of carrying.
Oatchi has a carrying strength of 5. Other gear and skills can be found here.
Layout[edit]
The stage takes place in a location similar to the Sun-Speckled Terrace, with much of the surrounding terrain blocked off by wooden fences, bags of dirt, pots, and bricks. The accessible region is roughly oval in shape, and from the S.S. Beagle, from the starting angle, it is possible to see all of the treasure in the stage at once. The treasures are based on golden things, and specifically on bell-related treasures, as well as a singular pile of Gold Nugget.
Directly north of S.S. Beagle, which is located on a slightly-raised grass section towards the south, is one of the Path Creators and the Spouse Alert, alongside five Red Pikmin sprouts. Just a bit more north of that is the second Path Creator, a pile of Gold Nuggets, and five more sprouts. Finally, at the farthest northern point, on a higher ledge (a cinder block), is the Time Marker. The stage's leafling can be found next to the Time Marker.

The following article or section contains guides. |
As this is the first practice stage, it should be relatively simple to beat. You have a timer of 3:30 to collect all of the treasures and nuggets, of which there aren't many. Two of the four treasures in this stage are Path Creators, which weigh 5 units; Oatchi have a carrying strength of 5 as well, so you can put him to work carrying them.
When the stage begins, have Oatchi carry the Path Creator on your left, then throw 2 Red Pikmin onto the adjacent Spouse Alert. With your remaining 3 Red Pikmin, have them work on the Gold Nugget pile further right, and then begin plucking the nearby sprouts. If Oatchi and the 2 Red Pikmin from before have carried back their treasures, whistle them and head a bit further north. The final two treasures are the other Path Creator and the Time Maker, the latter being on a raised cinder block ledge, which cannot be knocked off with a Rush from Oatchi.
Have Oatchi carry the other Path Creator, then pluck the other sprouts, giving you a squad of 12 Red Pikmin – a perfect amount for the Time Maker. Throw them up to it, and whilst you wait for the treasures to be carried back, you yourself can carry some of the nuggets. Once all is done, you should hopefully have achieved a Platinum Medal.
