This game has taken years off my life, especially that final boss fight. My 7-year-old daughter wanted me to play this game so I obliged, however, my stance on Pikmin games remains the same - They are stressful and I don't enjoy them. I get such a feeling of anxiety at the thought of losing even a single Pikmin so imagine my distress when I took to the final battle and lost so... so many Pikmin... But I'm happy to report that I finished the game and with my sanity still in tact - Let's see if this is still true after we inevitably face the 4th installment in the franchise. Wish my luck.
