I just finished Overlord again and after finishing it I decided to give Pikmin another try since it was the game that obviously inspired Overlord. I had only played it when I first got my gamecube and rented it. I had no memory card and the time limit thing discouraged me when I had a few days where I didn't accomplish anything, so I just returned it and never played it again.

Going from Overlord to this is a little bit of an adjustment since you can't just sweep your Pikmin all across the map, their sweeping radius is so small that Olimar has to basically be right next to the target already, otherwise you have to keep launching them one by one for faraway targets. Is that correct or am I doing something wrong?

Also it's kind of annoying how long it takes for Pikmin to knock down barriers and stuff. I know the yellow ones can bomb walls and enemies to speed it up but for stuff like opening the bridge in the 2nd level it took FOREVER and I had like all of my Pikmin working on the job and it still took half of the day just to open it and I just feel like I'm wasting a lot of time. Is there a better way to accomplish those kinda tasks?
