Now it's time for your first fight.  Grab your 2 new recruits and dart
straight for the little bugs.  Toss a couple right on his head to knock him
out and feed the onion.  While your first set of troops are carrying off the
spoils, go after the 2nd.  Now grab the 4 red pellets from the plants and head
back.

There's 2 patches of grass in the landing area.  Grab about 10 Pikmin (5 for
each), it's ok if you grab more, they won't care, they're not programmed to.
Have your guys search for yellow nectar, drink it, and now you'll have a few
fast Pikmin.  Once they're done mutating, grab all of them, and let's get
moving.

Turn east once you get out the gate, and maul the 2 bugs there.  Grab the ship
part and bring it home (along with whatever else you can carry).

Yellow Onion
Zone:  Forest of Hope
Day:  2
..............................................................................
Ignore the 10 pellet for now, we're going after some bigger game.  Attack the
big bug by tossing all of your leafheads on it's back.  When it's dead, grab
it and every red pellet you see and head back for the ship.

Wait til all your new recruits are ready, then yank em all.  By now it should
be a little past noon and you'll have over 80 Pikmin at your command (if you
didn't suffer any losses).  Go past where the big bug was and start knocking
down the door.

Once it crashes, fight with a vengence.  Take everything out and haul it all
back.  Beat the cargo home though, cause you'll go to your limits in number
and you need every Pikmin you can spare for now.  Return all that you have,
minus those carrying food.  Go back to where the big bug was, and open up the
yellow onion.

Immediately have this guy start gathering pellets, then grab the bombs while
gathering and start chucking them at the walls.  Once they're done, pluck em
all, grab some more bombs, and truck back to the ship.  If you're fast enough,
you'll have that wall next to your ship down just before nighttime.

Spaceship Part 3:  Whimsical Radar
Zone:  Forest of Hope
Day:  3
..............................................................................
If you didn't get the wall destroyed last night, do it now.  Take some yellows
out to get pellets and bombs.  Grab about 60 red and go through the new
opening.  Maul the bugs, then start hiking them back.  Stop the reds from
pulling them in, and let the yellows take over.  You also may have noticed a
large yellow pellet on the tree stump.  We'll worry about that later.

Have a bunch of red start beating down the gate you may have seen.  Have 30
working on it.  It'll take a while, so don't worry too much about it til
later.  Go back and have some Pikmin searching for nectar again while you
pluck out all the new ones.

Now go east at the intersection, grab the pellets on the way, then get ready
to fight.  The enemies here come up from underground.  Eliminate them, then
start carrying them back.

Rush back to start returning troops so you don't go overboard.  After doing
some plucking and returning, grab about 25 yellows (including those with
unused bombes), and go around north to east collecting bombs.  Destroy the
new wall you previously fought in front of.

Turn east, and start launching the yellow Pikmin to get the radar.

Spaceship Part 4:  Extraordinary Bolt
Zone:  Forest of Hope
Day:  3
..............................................................................
By now you should be done with that other gate (a noise will sound and the
thumping in the background will stop).  Once you've finished with this gate,
ditch any remaining bombs, and grab those other Pikmin.
..............................................................................
 
 

Spaceship Part 5:  Nova Blaster
Zone:  Forest of Hope
Day:  3
..............................................................................
Grab all your yellow runts, and get that big yellow pellet.  Go to the western
gate with an army and get ready to do some pounding.  If you're still on day
3, you don't have that much time, so you gotta get in and out real fast.
You probably won't be able to do it and will have left the part right next to
your ship, leaving you a whole day to increase your army.  The best way to do
it is to get about 70+ of any type of Pikmin and just bum rush em.  If you
don't think you're going to be able to get the Nova Blaster.
