Sup I want to clear the wiki segment up to prevent potential future drama. Two reasons I talked about it: 1. It's really funny (please don't harass anyone over comedically bias edits), and 2. To promote keeping wiki entries to just the facts without any impartiality. Anyone can edit these to make them less bias, but it makes more sense to deter something from happening in the first place, than editing pages just to have to do the same thing later.

6:08 the fact they could've just made it teleport back, but instead had the marble BOUNCE back like it's mocking you, it's like the visual version of the "neeeh nehneh neeeeeh neh" thing.
-
Ok I never realized that the pikmin just straight up fistfight each other instead of using their leaves, it’s kind of hilarious!
-
I know it's not canon, but it's always a crazy experience to hear the Pikmin say something in our familiar language, even if that's just their name, or the leaders' names.
-
As long as the Pikmin wiki isn't consumed by the Fandom site, it's a good wiki.
-
I didn't expect this to turn into an expose video on the Pikmin Wiki Editor Espyo but I'm not complaining. It was funny. Great video as always
-
If I may ask, can Captains damage eachother by themselves like they can with enemies? I'm asking because I find the idea of Olimar and Louie getting into a bare knuckle fist fight just for the sake of a marble to be really, REALLY funny.

You make the battle mode sound way better than I remember
-
Interesting to see your doing all of these multiplayer videos individually. That said, I am very interested to see a more in-depth look at all of them.
-
My favorite stage in Piki 2 battle mode was the Angle Maze layout with the Raging Long Legs. Just the idea of a chaotic neutral gigantic monster dropping in out of the blue and breaking havoc on both opposing teams is just the most amusing and exhilarating thing ever.
-
that promo you cut on the pikmin wiki was fucking awesome. Never be afraid to do something like that. It was great.
-
Silok should be a Pikmin Wiki janitor. Thank you for taking issue with these damaging edits. Let's all do our part to keep wikis formal and informative.

Bingo Battle will forever be my favorite multiplayer mode in Pikmin and I wish it was made online
-
You & Josh Thomas from TheBitBlock are the only two major Youtubers who seem to care about Pikmin battle mode, it is so refreshing.

7:57 Genuinely has to be one of the funniest trolls in Pikmin history, wow
-
Wow I remember playing that mode a very long time ago, I unfortunately haven't played it in over a decade though... I'm surprised at how little I knew about it! Btw about the Wiki section, things like linking to another somewhat similar gamemode (in this case, linking to 3's bingo mode at the top of the page) is actually pretty common practice since the amerage human being tends to have a considerably worse ability to read than most people think, so attempting to give a sign "hey you're not on the right page if you're asking about the pvp in pikmin 3, go here instead if this is the case" is really important. Not defending that user because they obviously were writing obviously biased information but to their credit that specific edit is actually a good thing
-
I loved the Pikmin 2 Battle Mode as a kid, my friend and I's favorite thing to do wasn't even competing against each other, instead we liked to play on the map with the Raging Long Legs and just work together to try and kill it.
-
The best thing us how Olimar and Louie either get more smug or more salty
-
Petty opinions have ALWAYS been a problem in the pikmin community. So I am not surprised at all that there's petty bias showing in the wiki.

WAOT THE TROLL FACE OLIMAR AND PISSED OFF LOUIE FACES ARE REAL?1!1!1!2!!
