Just finished Snagret Hole, and with that, maxed out Awakening Wood. And 80%. I'm getting way further in the game than I think I ever have before and it's pretty intimidating.
Which makes me wonder, wtf was I doing as a kid to get 30+ days into the game and still not even have the suit upgrades???
I've seen people say their issues with the dungeons are basically, you have to scope out each floor or your Pikmin will die, and the random generation is bullshit. I didn't really know what they meant until yesterday when I tried Subterranean Complex and actually had to leave halfway through because half my squad had already been wiped by fucking Cannon Beetles and bomb rocks.
Cannon Beetles: I hate them so fucking much. Why. Who thought, hey you know what would make this game better, fucking boulders that chase you. WHY. HOW
