Pikmin 2: Diet Pikmin 2

Diet Pikmin 2 is a hack of Pikmin 2 to provide 14 new cave layouts to explore in the 1 player adventure!

This hack Pikmin 2 is meant to be a slightly lighter experience for Pikmin 2 newcomers, but still offer some challenge for all Pikmin players.

A lot of the music, sounds, dialogue, and other minor details have been altered, but the overworld locations remain the same as the original game. The game's mechanics are unchanged as well.

All 201 treasures from the original game are available to collect, but both underground treasures and power-ups have been shuffled around from the original game. The overworld treasures are still in the same locations as the original game.

* Please note there is some strong language and minor vulgarity.

Install the xdelta patch on an unmodified Pikmin 2 USA GameCube disc image (iso).

This hack is intended for Pikmin newcomers as well as those who have played Pikmin 2 and are looking for new cave challenges.

A lot of the music, sounds, enemy colors/names, and dialogue has been altered, but the overworld locations remain the same as the original game.

Quick Tip:

If you make a mistake in the game and need to reset, you can soft reset by holding the B button, X button and START button for a couple seconds. This will reload the game and you can restart from your last save point.

For example, if you soft reset in a cave, you will start at the beginning of the current Sublevel you were on.


To install:

Apply the Diet Pikmin 2 xdelta patch to an .iso of the USA Pikmin 2 (GameCube version only) using an XDelta Patcher.

**Please be aware XDelta Patcher may temporarily freeze for a minute while the patch is applied. This is normal, so please give the program time to patch. It will then notify you once the game has successfully been patched.**

Enjoy the game!
