Course 4: Scornet Maestro

Available Medals

Time Limit: 10:00

Available Pikmin: Red Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, Winged Pikmin

Recommended Tactics

When the mission starts, you already have a fairly large squad of Pikmin. Toss one crew member near the barricade at the enclosure’s exit, then toss one crew member onto the nearby sprouts. Move the squad onto a different group of sprouts, then switch to the crew member you left near the barricade.

The Scornet Maestro will always attack the player, so assuming control of the crew member by the barricade keeps the Scornets safely away from your Pikmin. When the Scornets begin their attack, switch back to the crew member leading the main squad and gather all of the available Pikmin. When the Scornets fly out of the area, lock onto the Scornet Maestro and send your squad charging in. As your Pikmin attack the creature, move one of your available crew members onto another cluster of sprouts.

When the Scornets return to the area, gather your Pikmin and use the same tactics to counter the next attack. Use a crew member to draw the Scornets away from the main squad, then have your Pikmin attack the Scornet Maestro as its minions fly out of the area. Repeat the process until you defeat the Scornet Maestro.

Use the same basic tactics when you’re working with a partner. One player should deal with the Scornet Maestro as the other player plucks sprouts.
