Note that enemies created upon a spin of the Roulette Wheel disappear completely upon defeat, meaning their bodies cannot be returned to either Onion, and only last for a short amount of time regardless of whether they are attacked.Įnemies found underground in single player are also in 2-Player Battle.

You will have access to 12 different powers that benefit you, disadvantage your opponent or both, listed below:Ī Fiery Blowhog will appear near Louie's Onion or a Watery Blowhog will appear near Olimar's Onion. The Roulette Wheel can be accessed when you find a cherry and a Pikmin successfully returns it to your Onion. If one player loses three or more matches than the opponent their character will appear enraged. If one player wins three or more matches than the opponent their character will appear even more happy, showing his teeth in his smile. The captain who loses will look angered while a winning captain will grin. Take your opponent's red or blue marble to your OnionĪfter a game is finished, the icon in the corner of the 2-Player Battle menu will change depending on if the character won or lost.NOTE: There are only 7 in each area, so only one captain can get 4. This is due to Olimar & Louie's Japanese pronunciation being Orimā (オリマー) and Rūi (ルーイ). At first, the chants may be confused with a cheerful ' Ha-ri a!' (Hurry up) or just a plain ' Ha-ri' (Hurry), but note the lack of a 'l' sound and it turns out that the Pikmin are actually cheering on their respective captains (E.g.: O-ri-ma! (Red Pikmin), Ru-i! (Blue Pikmin)). If somebody has 3 Yellow Marbles, the Pikmin react by saying something repetitively, depending in which player has 3 Marbles. To make things even, Red Pikmin have lost their extra strength, and there are no pools of water. Returning a cherry to your Onion will allow you a spin of the roulette wheel. There are four ways to win (see below) and ten differently-themed areas to play on, ranging in difficulty. Each player has an appropriate Onion, near which a similarly-colored marble lies at the start of the game. 2-Player Battle takes place in underground areas, their layouts randomly generated. Each player can start the match with a multiple of 5 Pikmin between 5 and 50, and cannot exceed 50 total Pikmin on the battlefield at any time. Each captain controls up to 50 Red Pikmin and Blue Pikmin, corresponding to the captain's color. It involves, as the name implies, two players, who control Captain Olimar and Captain Louie.
