Use the Yellow Wollywogs to get more Yellow Pikmin

Defeat the Yellow Wollywogs toward the start and use them to get more Yellow Pikmin. There are both electric gates and Bearded Amprats, so you'll definitely want to have some on hand.

If you want to get Platinum and clear the mission as quickly as possible, you should pass up on increasing your other Pikmin, and instead pluck the Pikmin you come across along the path.

Pikmin Types | How to Get More Pikmin

Split into two groups

To clear this mission, you'll have to build the bridge that connects the two sides. Have Olimar or Louie take Blue Pikmin to the other side of the bridge so they can work on fixing up the other side.

Take out the enemies to clear a path

If enemies show up along the path of your Pikmin who are carrying the part, they'll be attacked. Scout out the path ahead to take out any enemies that might try to interfere.

Ignore enemies outside of the path

There are several enemies that are off path and don't need to be defeated at all. If an enemy won't be able to attack your pikmin carrying the part, you can usually just leave them alone to save time.
