Pikmin 2 cave music is the strongest evidence that caves are in another dimension entirely

The submerged castle music so perfectly encapsulates a tone of "You're not supposed to be here" that I couldn't imagine the arcaic halls without it

The hardest part of being a pikmin fan is explaining to your friends why "soil 1" or "snagret hole" is your favourite song

A great alternative name for the Giant Breadbug theme is "that one dinky-ass Pikmin song"

Ive never noticed the switch taking away an instrument and now i wish you never told me

Loui reportedly caught playing gassy grove on the aux, asked to leave PNF-404

Absolutely crazy to me how Mystic Marsh plays exactly once through all of pikmin 2's campaign and challenge mode. Absolute banger, and my absolute favourite song in the whole series. Nobody ever talks about it, so its always great to see it get the love it deserves.

I've always found the toy theme unsettling. Like it's goofy and upbeat but there's subtle darker undertones, like there's something more sinister it's trying to hide. Fits the theme of the floor where it's a playroom, but you know something is wrong with how the planet is blatantly abandoned and dilapidated

Scruffy has a great video about how Pikmin 2's cave music is mostly made out of procedurally assorted segments of melodies. I highly recommend eveyone check it out. Puts it into perspective why the music is so chaotic.

Graphite Gulch is #1 in my heart

ALRIGHT NINTENDO YOU CAN TAKE MY WEED AND MY JOKES BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE MY INSTRUMENT FROM SOME RANDOM SONG IN A RANDOM FUCKING CAVE

Bowblax being on the members shoutout caught me way off guard lmao

The Cave music in this game is probably some of the most Bizarre music i’ve ever heard in a video game, or even any sort of media at all. It has this… “Vibe” that can’t be matched anywhere else.

The rest Area music is my favorite. It gives off this very specific vibe that is why Pikmin 2 is my favorite in the series. Its aesthetic gives off themes of nature, nostalgia, and like small stuff. Can’t put into words lol

I absolutely love the piano that plays when an enemy is near in emergence cave 1 & 2, soil 1, and maybe some others idk. When you didn't even mention that piano when talking about the emergence caves, my face stared into the screen like a Bulborb

Cant wait for every enemy theme in pikmin 4 ranked...

Fartcore is my favorite genre of cave music

I absolutely love the weird and atmospheric pikmin 2 cave music. It has a very organic feel to it, like you could compose half these tracks with bits and bobs you find in your backyard. A long blade of grass for a whistle, a stick of bamboo for a flute, a tin can or scrap metal for percussion, a glass milk jug you can tap or blow in, some pebbles in a plastic bag for a tamborine... not to mention a bunch of other strange and uncommon sounds you could make using who-knows-what. Plus the interactive and evolving nature of the music really makes it feel like when you're a kid and you're just jamming with your friends making music from whatever you find in your grandpa's old yard.

I'm glad they brought back caves in Pikmin 4, but without these weird modernist Erik Satie-esque melodies backing up the action they don't feel remotely the same.

I guess every music has a
