I’m playing 1 for the first time since I was a kid (I didn’t get far), and it holds up fairly well. The pikmin have horrible pathfinding, and the UI got stretched in the port, but it’s still a lot of fun.

There is no lock-on to throw.
The 30 day time limit is a bit of a challenge. (However, you can restart from any day in the Wii and Switch versions, and Pikmin 2 doesn’t have a strict limit like Pikmin 1).
