The Ultimate Pikmin Tier List

In the world of video games, there are often hidden gems that players may overlook or underestimate. One such example is the yellow Pikmin in the game "Pikmin." Many people, including myself when I was younger, believed that the yellow Pikmin were not important. However, it turns out that these little creatures are not only versatile but also essential for certain tasks.

The yellow Pikmin have a unique ability to use bomb rocks. These bomb rocks not only come in handy for various purposes but are also exclusive to the yellow Pikmin. They are the only type of Pikmin that can break down reinforced walls, allowing access to valuable treasures and ship parts.

If we consider the number of ship parts that require bomb rocks to be retrieved, we find that the yellow Pikmin are needed for 15 out of the total 30 ship parts in the game. That's half of all the ship parts! It's quite a significant contribution.

However, it's worth noting that some people argue that the yellow Pikmin are not necessary because "you don't even need them if you exploit certain glitches." But what they fail to mention is that you don't need any specific type of Pikmin to retrieve any ship part if you exploit glitches. So, directing the argument exclusively towards the yellow Pikmin is unfair.

Moreover, most of these exploits are incredibly cumbersome and time-consuming, even for professionals. Using such complex methods just to avoid using any type of Pikmin seems counterproductive. Besides, many of the easiest exploits involve ignoring ship parts that require blue Pikmin. Blue Pikmin can easily be overlooked in areas like The Forest Navel, making it accessible to almost anyone without much effort.

The Unique Abilities of Blue Pikmin

Speaking of blue Pikmin, they possess a special ability: they are immune to water hazards. In my hypothetical version of Pikmin, I placed water hazards everywhere, around 50 of them on the map. You wouldn't be able to obtain many items without using blue Pikmin because I forced you to use them. Does this make blue Pikmin valuable? Your answer to that question will likely align with your opinion of blue Pikmin.

There's nothing wrong with Pikmin having abilities that require their usage. That's not what I'm suggesting at all. The issue arises when that's all they have, like the blue Pikmin. Once you've done everything that requires their ability to enter water,
