Master Day 9 in Pikmin 3 Deluxe! Rescue Blue Pikmin, build bridges, and collect 6 fruits in the Garden of Hope with this detailed walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start with two captains and 40 mixed Pikmin. Send one captain with Pink Pikmin to the Blue Onion and then turn right towards a Dirt Wall. Send the second captain with 40 Pikmin to the tin balance puzzle from Day 2.
  2. 2
    Once the Blue Onion is active, use a captain to pluck the new Blue Pikmin and assign them to nearby pellets to increase their numbers.
  3. 3
    Have the second captain's Yellow Pikmin interact with the Static Gate near the tin puzzle.
  4. 4
    Send the first captain's army through the Dirt Wall, defeat the Bulborb, and begin gathering bridge parts.
  5. 5
    If the second captain's Yellow Pikmin have cleared the Static Gate, target the Grapefruit on the breezeblocks. Use Pink Pikmin's Charge ability on it, then have the captain return to the Onion.
  6. 6
    Gather more Blue Pikmin from corpses and pellets. Enter the water near the Blue Onion to collect bridge parts.
  7. 7
    Switch to the second captain. Deal with the Fiery Blowhogs near the Armored Mawdad's location and have Yellow Pikmin activate the Static Gate.
  8. 8
    With the bridge nearing completion, use Blue Pikmin to approach the area under the bridge. Defeat the Puckering Binnows one by one using lock-on and charge.
  9. 9
    Send three Pikmin to grab a Strawberry and assign the rest to a Dirt Wall.
  10. 10
    Proceed through the ex-gate into the drainage duct. Use Pikmin on the left tin weight to balance the scale, allowing others to collect grapes over a gap.
  11. 11
    After the bridge is finished, switch to the second captain and cross. Use Spicy Spray on your army and charge the Waddlepus.
  12. 12
    After defeating the Waddlepus, assign five Pikmin to a Spicy Berry Plant. Throw Rock Pikmin at a crystal on the opposite corner of the platform. Have 20 Pikmin push a lockbox into the water.
  13. 13
    Collect the fruit after the Rock Pikmin finish smashing the crystal.
  14. 14
    Assign Pink Pikmin to a nearby gate. This will grant Captain 1 and their Blue Pikmin access to an Orange, which is reached via the lockbox walkway.
  15. 15
    Before claiming the Orange, check on the second captain. If their Pikmin have finished with the grapes, have them return to the Onion.
  16. 16
    Send the second captain to the Static Gate east of the Onion (near the first large Bulborb). Use Spicy Spray if needed and work on the gate.
  17. 17
    Alternatively, have Captain 1 and the Blue Pikmin claim the Orange.
  18. 18
    Once the second captain's gate is down, deal with the Fiery Blowhog inside. Then, dig up the buried Pocked Airhead (fruit).
  19. 19
    Use your Blue Pikmin to clear out underwater lifeforms around their location to prepare for the next day.
