Defeat Enemies When Unfrozen

Pikmin - 4Defeat Enemies When Unfrozen

Enemies defeated while frozen cannot be retrieved for points. Since you'll be using Ice Pikmin in this Dandori Battle, use them to chip off the enemies' HP and let Oatchi defeat them using his Rush skill.

A New Bonus Find Appears

Pikmin 4 - A New Bonus Find Appears

After about 2 minutes, a new item will be set as a bonus find with a x3 multiplier. Prioritize retrieving those items to get more points!

Prevent Enemies from Stealing Your Bonus Finds

If the enemy Pikmin are trying to steal an item you're carrying that's marked as a bonus find, throw more Pikmin on the item to retake it!

Bonus Finds are Random
