    Colossal Caverns and its cult following is sorta proof that Pikmin 2 caves are actually very cool and fun when you aint got a brittany in your ear saying they suck. Real talk though, this mod is a masterpiece.

      I honestly was surprised to fines out how many people hated caves, I love them in pikmin 2 and its one of my favorite things about the game

      ​@@mrman_4234same. It's a really interesting shift from pikmin's typical time management focused gameplay. I feel like expanding on the combat was a great idea.

      Colossal Caverns is literally a big, sprawling, interconnected level that you try to complete in as little time as possible. Does that sound more like caves or the overworld levels to you? Cave layouts, challenging enemies, etc. were never the problem and in fact, they're great, especially when stitched together like in CC. It's the disconnected and segmented nature of caves that just wrecks the pacing of Pikmin 2, which is otherwise a fantastic game.

    • @NamekianG
      @NamekianG 2 місяці тому +4

      ​@@charlesc4377That's funny because every single complaint about caves i've seen in my life is cave layout, challenging enemies, etc.
      It may not be your issue with the caves, but it definitely is the general opinion

    Thank you so much for making this, it was a great watch! Colossal Caverns is something that I can still be proud of to this day, even if just for the concept alone. It really does feel like the perfect compliment to what Pikmin 2 established. Some day I definitely want to go back and clean up a lot of its flaws, but just knowing its so loved, even with all the wacky Pikmin 2 jank intact, it really makes my day.

    • @realHeff
      @realHeff  3 місяці тому +19

      Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! This is my favorite mod for so many reasons and I figured it deserved a more well structured video due to its uniqueness and how often I've played it.
      One day I'll get that sub 2 hr time role u just wait :)

    I played this a few months ago and it’s such a unique take on Pikmin 2. It takes the best parts of Pikmin 2 while being so unique. I remember when I played it, I accidentally walked into the final boss and it took over an hour of on and off fighting while always seeing it in the distance and the final boss theme playing on and off.

  • @retrowix901
    @retrowix901 3 місяці тому +18

    I love how Colossal Caverns doesn’t need to change much to be successful. The gameplay loop is already established and highlights the strength of the Pikmin 2 caves, combat, and treasure collecting. All the extra options and goodies to play around with just make it that much more special.
    Awesome video Heff!

  • @WigwamMan
    @WigwamMan 3 місяці тому +37

    YES! Loved this video as this is also my absolute Fav Pikmin Hack. You did an excellent job of telling what makes it so special. I Hope to see more people playing it and hopefully eventually that sweet CC Update!

    I wish this were playable in the actual games. The caves in Pikmin 2, for me, are mostly hindered by the need to reset the whole game, rather than just the floor. The caves themselves are interesting to play as a sub-area.
    (I don’t have the equipment to play the mod, but I enjoy watching Heff’s runs!)

      how does that work in a timeline? Chugga did his Pikmin 1 lp 13 years ago and started doing youtube 16 years ago. If you are 24 now then chugga would have started when you were 8.

    • @johnclark926
      @johnclark926 17 днів тому

      ⁠@@XpistolinXA decompilation is basically a recreation of a game’s source code. Super Mario 64 is a more popular example of a game that’s been decompiled, with the game’s source code accessible to the public there arose many ports to PC and other platforms, along with ports of SM64 Mario to other games as well.

    I played this romhack a while back and it was real fun. Unfortunately when I played it, the game consistently crashed every time you obtained the Key, so aside from getting every treasure it was impossible to actually finish. Plus I wish there was a version that worked with the Wii version, as I'm not a fan of the GC controls.
    But regardless it was fun. I loved using the WaterWraith as my own personal Steam-roller.
