Call Yellow Pikmin After Digging Treasures

Pikmin 4 - 3rd Trial - Call Yellow Pikmin After Digging Treasures

Leave the digging to the Yellow Pikmin since they dig stuff up faster than other Pikmin types. Call them with the whistle, or if you're far away from them, with the Idler's Alert, and call them back to your squad.

Command the other Pikmin types in your squad, such as the White Pikmin or the Ice Pikmin, to collect the treasure you've previously dug up.

Collect Hidden Treasures

Pikmin 4 - 3rd Trial - Collect Hidden Treasures

Some treasures aren't visible as you go around the arena, as you'll have to dig them up or get them from the golden bug.

When the golden bug shows up, throw Pikmin at it three times to make it drop the three treasures it's holding.

Freeze Water to Collect Treasures

Pikmin 4 - 3rd Trial - Freeze Water to Collect Treasures

Refrain from freezing the water with Ice Pikmin unless you're going to collect the treasures on the other side of the water.

Collect Treasures on High Ground Last

Pikmin 4 - 3rd Trial - Collect Treasures on High Ground Last

Treasures on the high ground require lots of Pikmin to carry, so it's best to put them at the lowest priority since you'll have many Pikmin in your squad after you're done with your tasks on the bottom floor.

Having the Plucking Whistle for Efficiency

There are a lot of buried Pikmin in this stage, and having the Plucking Whistle saves you time from plucking Pikmin by a ton!
