Scruffy Plays Pikmin 4 - Episode 17 @ScruffyMusic

Uploaded September 2023 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Pikmin 4 is here! And I'm recording my playthrough so I can chronicle my thoughts and reactions as they happen!
We're visiting not one but two caves in the game's 4th area, the second of which in particular is a lovely throwback and an interesting challenge! By the end, I redeem my Dandori by getting a platinum in the challenge I just barely finished last episode, complete with some play-by-play commentary!

Music used at the dedication at the end is an excerpt from "Lament" composed by Malcolm Williamson, performed by the Northern Sinfonia.

But then it transitions into the theme for Lavender Towns claim to fame, the Pokémon Tower. While the town is known for creepy, off-kilter Ghost-type Pokémon, theres also an air of lamentation over Pokémon that have passed, especially in the graveyard within the tower. So I made the music a bit wistful and macabre, and I included some Pokémon calls that you would hear there. Finally, I infused some Javanese gamelan into the melody. Ive fond memories of playing in a gamelan ensemble, and these melodies seemed to lend themselves to the style! Thanks for listening!$
