Pikmin 4 is here! And I’m recording my playthrough so I can chronicle my thoughts and reactions as they happen!
This episode marks the point where the game really opens up and truly blossoms into the Pikmin game we were waiting for. Episodes will be longer than they have been from here on out, just because there’s so much to see and do in even one exploration day!

Im with others when i say that i think longer episodes would benefit this series alot. Obviously, do what you want to do and what you think is right! Also, ive noticed a few framerate dips throughout the video, and that could be on the recording end or the game end, but its something that is noticeable! Otherwise, im so very excited to see you play pikmin 4 and Ooh and Ahh over all the music, sound, enemy, and overall design of the game!! Keep it up Scruffy! And remember, YOU are Captain Olimar's last and only hope!
If you're worried about all the dialogue and interruptions don't worry, it's heavily toned down after a couple of days
The background music thing that appears when near a Dwarf Bulborb is a vibe.
Almost an hour of Scruffy??? Yes please!!!
Anyone else hear Collin saying "PUBG!" with that one voice line lol
it is so goshdarn nice to have a playthrough where someone is so clearly passionate about the medium and it's technical details, I love seein someone get excited about stuff like dynamic music, and the presence of normals 😀
NINTENDO LET SCRUFFY VOICE ACT RUSS AND COLLIN PLEASE
FINALLY, YOU'RE THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IVE SEEN NOTICE THE RADIO THEME
If Scruffy is liking the little motifs to past Pikmin games right now, just he waits until he gets into the special end game campaign mode that has many motifs from Pikmin 1, like Forest of Hope, Final Trial, Impact Site, and my favorite is what they did with the Distant Spring! Watch him make a 10-minute analysis on how Pikmin 4 transforms the music from Pikmin 1 into something new and interesting.
"when the Red Pikmin were thrown off that blowhog they went back to being Buds … they they went down a maturity level"
You could say they got… deflowered.
You should make your videos 1/6th longer for every cave you enter
Hearing my game do the escape theme and then hearing Scruffy's video do the escape theme was a little like… disorientating!
i've been struggling to find a playthrough of pikmin 4 that i enjoyed watching and listening to and i am so excited to have finally found it in yours. your energy and genuine excitement about the game have me so engaged! looking forward to more episodes with this same soft, casual feel 🙂
love the musical commentary :>
I could honestly listen to Scruffy’s playthrough in 5 hour sittings
I see some spoilers in the comments I dont mind if you avoid reading through these 😅
You can do the entire "Sun baked terrace" level including blue onion and all caves in the Demo. As long as you don't pick up any treasure. I just now played the free Demo past were this playthrough ends and still have a lot to do before collecting all the treasures in one day.
i absolutely love scruffy's child like adoration to a new feature or element and its very good 👍
You definitelly need to carry ALL the raw material you can by the way, so many stuff from it!
i would be backseating so hard like i really appreciate all the insight into the sound and visual design, its a perspective you dont get from most creators but theres still a part of my brain thats like "NO YOU MISSED A SHORTCUT, GET THE RAW MATERIALS SCRUFFY, THE RAW MATERIALS!!!" thats the dandori gland ig
I highly recommend collecting raw materials. Like all of it, every piece you find. You are going to want it.
I have to mention how much I appreciate the slower approach to the game. Admiring the scenery, mentioning a lot of small details and how compositions are done, it really gives perspective how much the environment can mean to someone else on a higher level.
you're a very eloquent speaker. keep up the good work
I'll admit, watching scruffy burn his time to a crisp just staring at a bulborb was slightly painful. But hey, it's not like there's a day limit, so I suppose there's plenty of time to soak up every detail.
Am I alone in feeling like there is just way too much text and dialogue in this game? I've only played the demo and I don't think Scruffy has even gotten through more of the game than that covers anyway, but I'm really just skimming through this Let's Play series to see what Scruffy's thinks of the game and to see if the endless barrage of explanations and talking ever ends. I love Pikmin but my impression of this game so far is that it's just way too hand-holdy.
I like how much of a music geek Scruffy is, its so nice to hear someone that passionate
Greatest series on the channel
Love these videos! please continue with the episodes! love your focus on the details! <3
The longer videos are nice, also have you recorded a play through of pikmin 3?
I don’t know how to say this, but your playthrough is such a delight. I’m a huge Pikmin fan since I was a kid, and naturally teared up during the initial Title screen of Pikmin 4. Your passion and genuine love for the series at its core is so contagious, even my husband who knows nothing abt the franchise loves listening to these videos in the background.
This is the first playthrough in a long time where I'm actually caught up and cant wait for more. Your reactions to everything coming up are going to be a blast
I have to notify you now that I’ve discovered your playthings of this game; try talking to the rescues as Oatchi, they give some beautiful responses!
