Let's Play Pikmin (100%)

  • Full Name: Pikmin
  • Console: Nintendo GameCube
  • Release Year: 2002
  • LP Timeframe: August 8th - September 23rd, 2025

Released in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube, Pikmin introduced a brand new type of gameplay experience: a real-time strategy puzzle adventure wrapped in a world of adorable plant creatures. Developed by Shigeru Miyamoto and his team at Nintendo EAD, the game blended time management, environmental exploration and combat in a way that was both relaxing and stressful - in the best way possible. It was one of the first titles to show off the GameCube's capabilities, and itl eft a lasting impression on fans of unique and emotional gameplay.

In Pikmin, you play as Captain Olimar, a space traveler who crash-lands on a mysterious, Earth-like planet after an asteroid collision. With only 30 in-game days to repair his ship before his life support runs out, Olimar must rely on the help of the Pikmin - small, color-coded plant creatures with distinct abilities - to retrieve his lost ship parts. Managing your Pikmin army wisely is key: you'll need to fight enemies, navigate terrain, solve puzzles, and keep your little helpers safe from danger.

InvictusBM LP #006

Our first time diving into the Pikmin universe! This one, compared to Pikmin 2, is a lot easier to complete 100%. The mission is: collect all 30 ship parts across the five regions of the game while keeping as many Pikmin alive as possible! This LP lasted for 24 episodes.

This LP followed after the completion of Super Mario 64. During the Pikmin LP, the LPs for Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ended, and the LPs for Donkey Kong Country 2, Metroid: Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 started. This LP was followed by Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I.
