Master Pikmin 3 Deluxe Day 1! Learn Pikmin basics with Captain Charlie and navigate Alph's training mission to retrieve the SS Drake. Full walkthrough included.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start as Captain Charlie. Follow the path and interact with the Pikmin to learn basic commands like whistling, throwing, and dismissing.
  2. 2
    Head towards the mushrooms, ignoring the crystal on the left path.
  3. 3
    Continue forward into a cave where Charlie encounters a situation.
  4. 4
    Switch to Alph. Follow the red Pikmin and collect his buddies.
  5. 5
    Throw all three Pikmin onto the 'Onion' caught in the tree.
  6. 6
    Locate nearby tiles and send Pikmin to build a bridge.
  7. 7
    Cross the bridge and collect your map pad, gaining access to the map and camera functions.
  8. 8
    Proceed across the bridge and collect red pellets from flowers to the right (two 1-pellet flowers) and to the left (two 1-pellet flowers and one 5-pellet flower). Be aware of bugs when heading left; dismiss Pikmin near them to have them dealt with.
  9. 9
    Return to the Onion and pluck new Pikmin.
  10. 10
    With over 20 Pikmin, push the cardboard box blocking the path.
  11. 11
    Head through the next cave and use Pikmin to tear down the sand wall.
  12. 12
    Continue through the cave to find the SS Drake and complete the training.
Tips
  • On Day 1, there is no strict time limit, allowing you to learn at your own pace.
  • When encountering bugs, dismiss your Pikmin within their vicinity to have them automatically attack and defeat the bugs.
  • Hitting the red pellets directly with a Pikmin throw will instantly detach the flower from its stalk.
