Played coop all the way through with my four-year-old kid.

It's the breeziest and easiest of the 3 games so far. Adds the rock pikmin and flying pikmin... Which are not really all that interesting.

But, the game does a great job of just giving you cool stuff to do with your Pikmin.

The full coop was such a good way to play and would be genuinely awesome with two grown players.

With a really young dude it works to effectively train him in 3d environment navigation and button awareness.

I still love Pikmin 1 the most, the 30 day limit really adds stakes to the adventuring that I have missed in the sequels.

But this one just goes down real easy and was a delight to play with my dude.
