Pikmin: Redemption

Pikmin:Redemption
Pikmin:Redemption(or PR for short) takes place at the same time as Pikmin 2, but in a mirrored reality where before leaving the Pikmin Planet Olimar taught the pikmin some things. He taught them how to speak English and how to fend for themselves. The most important thing he taught them is how to train a pikmin to lead a group of pikmin. After Olimar left the planet, the pikmin started to fend for themselves. The pikmin even found some caves. There was one cave though, that the pikmin always were unconfortable to go in. It had been named the "Dream Den" because those who went into and came out of this cave had horrible nightmares and died soon after they woke up. One day a pikmin leader of a color you pick decides to see what is in that cave for himself(or herself).

Story
The pikmin don't remember much of anything but, there is one thing the pikmin will always remember. That one thing is Captain Olimar.He brought the pikmin together at a time when a disaster was deemed imminent.Together Olimar and the Pikmin slayed the Complex Parasite and the Empire Deathstool and the land was safe. He taught the pikmin his language(English) and greatly increased pikmin populations so that they pikmin will always have a strong army to prevent another disaster. He taught one pikmin of each color how to lead a group of pikmin and how to get the other pikmins' attention. Most importantly though, he discovered a mysterious candypop bud with the power to fuse pikmin and their powers together, but Olimar feared this strange plant's power and sealed the bud away in the hidden fifteenth floor of the Dream Den( a cave that Olimar discovered before he left). Now the pikmin, without Olimar but with leaders to guide them, refuse to go near the Dream Den because of the dark energies below.That is except for one brave group of pikmin....(Yours)

Rewards,Cheats,Codes, Easter Eggs, Glitches and Secrets
These are the hidden items in PR.

Play as Pikmar
After you beat the game once you will see a message saying you have unlocked Pikmar. When you start a new game you will have the option to play as any of the pikmin leaders, then the option to be Pikmar. This is just a skin and is no different fom the pikmin you selected to play as. You can switch between the Pikmar skin and normal skin at the in-game menu.

Crystal Pikmin forever?
This is unlocked the same way as the Pikmar skin is. It makes all of your pikmin to look like Crystal Pikmin. Beware, they don't have the same powers as Crystal Pikmin so this skin could cost you many pikmin. It is suggested to only use this if yopu do not intend to save after the day ends.

Challenge Mode just won't die
Beating the game unlocks the Pit of Redemption for the main menu.You get to choose what kind and how many pikmin you enter the pit with but you can;t get a perfect on any of the challenges unless you play from the main game. Also Challenge Mode data is saved after you beat the game so you keep your hard work in Challenge Mode saved for your next run. There are also extremely well hidden portals that can take you to a section of The Pit before you see the Great Calamity, but those are only parts of it. The only way to see the full pit is in Merged Nothingness.

Easy Pikmin Propagation
If you go outside the western-most gate, the one that is covered with vines and doesn't appear on the map. in the Settlement in Olivert you will find a field of 1,5, and 7 Pellets waiting to be harvested.Don't walk too far into the field or else you will be attacked by twenty Burrowing Snarrows.

Tan Pikmin
Tan Pikmin. You could easily go the whole game and never get them to join your team. There is a way; however, to have them join you. First, make sure you have at least 100 of every other type of pikmin except for Tan. Go to the Map screen and make every onion go to a different area. If one are doesn't have an onion, or one area has two or more you have messed up. After dispersing the onions got to the closes area's landing site pull out 100 pikmin in the onion there and dismiss them. Head to the next area and do the same. Repeat until every area has 100 pikmin on the fields. Head to where the Tan Pikmin are and go up to the lock stopping you. Punch it two times and the gate will fall down and you will meet up with the Tan Pikmin

Sound Test
In order to get the sound test you must input the button combination below at the main menu.

A+B,2,1,+and-,C,Z,Rotate the Control Stick 360 Degrees,Home+A+B

After that you will get a confrimation message saying you unlocked Sound Test and the "New Allies" theme will play.

Confirmation of Delivery sent
Pressing the below button combination at the in-game menu will show you how many treasures you have/ how treasures there are total, discovered resources /total resources, enemies discovered/total enemies, favorite pikmin to use, least favorite pikmin to use, enemy you killed the most of, enemy you lost the most pikmin to, and play time.

B+A+C,1,2,C+Z,+and-,B,A,C.HOME+A+B

Stage Editor Mode
This code allows you to basicly build your own levels and move treasures and enemies. You can "Paint" the terrain with terrain tools, move objects and the landing site. You can take enemies from the Piklopedia and place them on to the ground and set patrol paths for the spotty bulbear and more. This is hard to get, though. First, you have to put A,+,B,B,Z,A,-,+,B,B,left D-Pad and up D-Pad into the main menu. then, you have to go to Bald Mountain to the summit. the usual Burrowing Snagret is not there. Instead, there is a Drooling Dandelion. Defeat this foe that only appears here and it dropps a blue marble. Then, go to The Facility. Go to the generator control room and find a Zapire. This electric-vampire is only found here and it drops a yellow marble. Then go to Olivert and there will be a big Whole Mole at the landing site. It burrows instantly and you have to delve down the hole it made. This is a great challenge called Whole Mole Labrinth. There is only one floor but it is really big. You could get lost... When you find the tile themed room the Whole Mole is there. Chase him to the pod site and battle him there. (The Gyser is next to the pod) This boss that only appears here dropps a red marble. After all three marbles are in your possesion, the next day you land at a barren wasteland. The only features are the grass and a big Black Marble. That marble is the key to the stage editor. There is a new stage editor screen with 100 save files for editing levels. Each file saves 1 level.

Area Select Glitch
When you are on the Area select screen, keep holding down on B, (Pressing B makes an easter egg explained in that section) and the ship will explode numerous times until only a frozen explosion will stay on the screen and the ship will not be visible after you stop holding B.

Treasure Glitch
If you time it just right, and you take two treasures back to the ship/pod at the exact same time, one of the two treasures will appear on the screen and the other treasure will dissapear and appear out of bounds.

Area Select Explosion
On the are select screen press B and the ship will explode and reappear.

Real Easter Egg
On the main screen, you can find an easter egg hidden in the bushes. You can change the view by holding Z and tilting the control stick.

Hey I know that one!
Occasionally on the area select screen you will see a ship in the background. This ship is either the ship in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator, or the ship in Pikmin: Global Breakdown. Sometimes you might even see the same ship in the area you land in. You can go up to the ship and press A to see a hidden cut scene.

He does exist!!
In the game their is an organization that protects the higher ranking pikmin in the tribes, like the leaders, elders, and Pikious. This organization is called the Candypop Knights. Since when knighted Sir is added to the front of your name, and there is a character named Pikmin. His name is Sir Pikmin. Yes, I love myself enough to put me into my own game. Got a problem with that?
