Alongside single-player mode in Pikimin 4 which primarily consists of the main story, there are also multiplayer options. These include standard co-op for the story, as well as a battle mode, known as Dandori battles. These Dandori Battles allow players to face off against each other, and test their skill and strategy using their different types of Pikmin.

Those who are not ready to play against other players, also have the option of facing off against NPCs. When it comes to winning a Dandori battle, the primary objective is to collect different items and take them back to the main hub, which is the Onion. Whichever player has the most points at the end of the battle is the one who will be announced the winner. Although the process is rather simple, Dandori battles do require some strategic planning in order to win.

Tips For Winning Dandori Battles

The first thing to keep in mind is being aware of what the Pikmin and Oatchi are doing. Don’t get too distracted by what the opponent is doing, and forget to focus on the primary goal. Players should be sure to hang onto some Pikmin, rather than tossing them all out, because they may need some for defense against the opponent, and if they toss all of their Pikmin out, they won’t have any remaining.

However, try also not to be overwhelmed by the amount of things that are going on. Attempt to focus on one thing at a time and don’t get distracted by the opponent. Additionally, while it may feel like time is running out and players need to rush, this is not true. Players should take their time and figure out their own strategy.

Finally, in addition to managing Pikmin, though players should not allow their opponents to distract them, they should occasionally do something to sabotage them. Items like sneak bombs are perfect opportunities for this and a great way to disrupt an opponent, strategy, and process. In the same breath, players should also be aware of the opponents returning the favor. So keep an eye out to ensure that opponents are not able to attack unnoticed. With all of this in mind, players should have an easier time winning their Dandori battles.

The main thing to is just to not be overwhelmed, and try to pay attention to the small things that really matter rather than attempt to pay attention to everything all at once. Regardless of the strategy, these battles are meant for fun and players can participate in them as often as they want in Pikmin 4.
