Pikmin 2 is a fun game, and it honestly feels like Co-Op should have been a part of the main campaign from the start, so to see it implemented in such a smooth manner by a team of fans was honestly great. I hadn't played Pikmin 2 in a long time, so playing it again with a group of friends is a great experience. Pikmin shortage does tend to be a problem since there's no easy way to share the pikmin across captains, and it's easy for the little buggers to accidentally join another Captain's squad if they're dismissed, which makes strategizing a bit of an issue at times, but it's more than made up by the increased manpower.

The speed at which you can clear an area or a cave if you're properly spreading the work between players is crazy. During our playthrough, we only encountered the Water Wraith on the last floor before it's boss fight.
