YMMV / Hey! Pikmin

Go To

  • Best Boss Ever: As divisive as the game is, one thing most fans can agree on is that the final battle against the Berserk Leech Hydroe is a well done Final Boss.
  • Contested Sequel: The quality of Hey! Pikmin is a constant debate among the fanbase. It's a split between those who find it a harmless if somewhat forgettable spin-off, those who enjoy it as an unofficial sequel to Kirby Mass Attack, and those who view it as a lazy cash grab that doesn't deserve the Pikmin title.
  • Fan Nickname: Hey! Pikmin has been referred to as Pikmin Mass Attack due to its similarities with Kirby Mass Attack.
  • It's Easy, So It Sucks!: The game's Genre Shift has led to a significant downgrade in difficulty, which is seen as one of the biggest issues with the game.
  • So Okay, It's Average: Those who can get past the game's Genre Shift think that the game is a perfectly serviceable, if unremarkable, 2D platformer. It doesn't do a whole lot to revolutionize the genre, but also translates the Pikmin gameplay adequately enough to be decent.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The game's change of focus from RTS-based gameplay to heavily curated 2D platforming wasn't well-received.
