Prioritize Treasures in the Northwest and South Room

Pikmin 4 - 5th Trial - Prioritize Treasures in the Northwest and South Room

The treasures in the northwest and south room are far and take the most time to collect, so prioritize collecting them. Using Winged Pikmin to collect the treasures is safer since they won't get crushed by the rolling rock.

You Don't Have to Collect Far Pikmin

You'll be using Winged Pikmin frequently, making collecting other Pikmin types unimportant. You don't have to pluck them from the ground if they are far off the collection route.

Beware of the Rolling Boulders

Pikmin 4 - 5th Trial - Beware of the Rolling Boulders

The passage in the west is dangerous because the rolling boulders made by an enemy in that area can crush and eliminate a lot of your Pikmin all at once.

Leave the Treasures to the Winged Pikmin

Pikmin 4 - 5th Trial - Leave the Treasures to the Winged Pikmin

Collecting treasures with Winged Pikmin saves a lot of time since they will take shortcuts back to base and avoid most enemy attacks, so you won't have to defeat them.

Keep Winged Pikmin's Flowers Blooming

Pikmin 4 - 5th Trial - Keep Winged Pikmin

Keeping the flowers blooming on the Winged Pikmin makes them move faster, shortening the time for them to transport treasures.

You can destroy the mushrooms on the northwest side as it will drop nectar for your Pikmin or the eggs on the northeast side to get nectars and an Ultra-Spicy Spray.

How to Make Pikmin Flowers Bloom

Use Bouncy Mushrooms to Travel Faster

Pikmin 4 - 5th Trial - Use Bouncy Mushrooms to Travel Faster

There are big mushrooms scattered throughout the arena for you to jump between areas much faster.

Collecting the White Onion

Pikmin 4 - 5th Trial - Collecting the White Onion

Command your Winged Pikmin to carry the white onion. They'll be safe from the giant enemy's attacks as long as you try and stun it with Oatchi's Rush skill or divert it's attention away from the Winged Pikmin by attacking it.
