Collect Pellets and Defeat Small Enemies

Pikmin 4 - Trial Run Walkthrough - Collect Pellets and Defeat Small Enemies

As soon as the stage starts, collect pellets from nearby Pellet Posies and defeat enemies to bring them back to the onion and increase the number of Pikmin you'll be commanding. It's okay to ignore the treasures at first, as you'll prioritize increasing the number of Pikmin in your squad.

Having a lot of Pikmin will increase your efficiency in collecting items and defeating enemies.

Prioritize Treasures You Can Easily Get

Pikmin 4 - Trial Run Walkthrough - Prioritize Treasures You Can Easily Get

There are treasures that require digging them up or behind breakable walls for them to be collected. Prioritize collecting treasures without much effort, such as strawberries and apples, simply by throwing Pikmin to get them.

There will be treasures too high for your Pikmin to reach. Ride Oatchi and use his Rush skill to knock down the treasures from the ledge.

List of All Treasures

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Frequently look around the arena since treasures quickly respawn, waiting to be collected. Be fast and alert, as the treasure might get collected by the opposing squad!

It's recommended to zoom out the camera to see the whole arena easier.

Hey Game8, From my experience, the Dandori Battles are unlocked in an order (I’ve unlocked Trial Run in Blossoming Arcadia as my first Dandori Battle, Battle in a Box in Serene Shores as my second, and Dandori Castle in Sun-Speckled Terrace as my third). Just thought you should know. Thx for the guide though!
