Get more Pikmin in the beginning.jpg
Transporting all enemy remains back to the onion, then going back to get the Pikmin, will take a lot of time, which you cannot afford in this mission. Only bring the enemies that are close to each onion to them to increase numbers in the beginning, then be sure to pick up any stray Pikmin you find in other areas.

Pikmin Types | How to Get More Pikmin

Break the eggs to flower your Pikmin

Use the eggs to flower your Pikmin

If you find any eggs, be sure to break them and have your Pikmin consume the nectar. Once they grow flowers, Pikmin will be able to work faster, so even with fewer Pikmin, you can get things done much quicker.

Throw a leader over ledge toward the beginning

Throw one leader over the ledge

In order to gain Blue Pikmin right away, throw a leader over the ledge at the start and have them go to the blue onion. Afterwards, have them both act independently to collect bridge fragments as quickly as possible.

Make use of your map

This is a rather large stage, so use your map to pinpoint the locations of enemies. For the most part, you should proceed ahead to finding bridge fragments, taking out all enemies that appear along the way.
