Walkthrough Summary




Prioritize Increasing Pikmin

Pikmin 4 - Leafy Showdown - Prioritize Increasing Pikmin

During the first half of the challenge, prioritize increasing the number of Pikmin in your squad to 50 by collecting pellets and returning the defeated enemies back to your onion. After reaching the limit, focus on getting those treasures for points!

Sneak Bomb and the Golden Sniffer

Pikmin 4 - Leafy Showdown - Sneak Bomb and the Golden Sniffer

With 3 minutes left on the timer, the Sneak Bomb will appear in the arena. Carrying the Sneak Bomb to your opponent's onion will cause it to explode, lowering your opponent's points, and their onion releases Dandorium, which you can collect and put in your onion to gain points. Note that your opponent can also use this to sabotage your points!

The Golden Sniffer appears in the arena when the timer has 2 minutes left. It's worth getting this since it offers a large number of points, and it doesn't respawn.

Collect and Use Mystery Capsules

Pikmin 4 - Leafy Showdown - Collect and Use Mystery Capsules

Collect Mystery Capsules and use them to your advantage! One item you can get from these capsules is the Trackonator, which you can throw at a group of enemy Pikmin to dispatch them, hindering your opponent's progress.

Lvl. 3 Super Buff is Recommended

Pikmin 4 - Leafy Showdown -  Lvl. 3 Super Buff is Recommended

It is recommended for Oatchi to have learned Super Buff, and it has been upgraded to Lvl. 3. The opponent's dog also has this skill, and it will be difficult to steal the Sneak Bomb from it if you haven't upgraded this skill yet.
