FETCH QUEST

Expeditions are effectively traditional Pikmin without the peril, as you send your diminutive charges out into the world to retrieve objects. You can start them from home, and even have several on the go at once, though they’re quicker to complete when you’re closer to the place in question – your Pikmin have less far to travel, after all. There’s a light element of micromanagement involved, with items having different weights and different Pikmin able to carry heavier loads: you won’t need so many Purple and Rock Pikmin for a job, though they walk more slowly than Reds and Yellows.
