...Nope, that's not going to do it.

That's better.

Okay! With Pikmin 3 on the horizon, I've decided that the time is right to finally man up and try to complete Pikmin 2. I've previously always lost my nerve shortly after reaching the Perplexing Pool, being too soft and scared of my pikmin dying to head into any caves after the White Flower Garden. Except once when I got The Key in the Citadel of Spiders in order to unlock Challenge Mode.
Anyway, given that the Pikmin games are rather episodic in nature, due to the day system, I figured I may as well blog about my experiences in the vain hope that someone might be vaguely interested. And if not, I'm sure you can at least have some laughs at my despair over little pikmin death-whimpers.

Now, given that your hand is held through the whole of the introductory first day, and even the second day is always pretty rigidly structured, I've decided to actually start my account on the third day where you're finally given some real freedom. However, here's a summary of my current progress:
