I was right to compare this title to Minecraft Legends, as there are plenty of mechanics that can be compared to it. I did manage to reach the end of the demo, albeit reluctantly. If I go at it again, I'll make backups through the third slot, so as to make sure I don't accidentally brick it again. I suffered a separate blunder when attempting to transport the Dandori trainer castaway. For starters, I didn't realize that my Pikmin were waiting for me outside the area, and stepped off the raised platform intending to retrieve more from the Onion. Realizing my mistake too late, I tossed Yellow Pikmin onto the island to retrieve the castaway, but they couldn't get them down. I forgot that I could use the Rewind Time feature to fix all this. Instead, I visited several sub-areas in search of enough Ice Pikmin to freeze the moat. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that they had to stay planted in order to keep the water frozen…

My two highlights both have to do with Oatchi. First, after rescuing Russel, you'll have enough pup drive to train him in Command Lv. 2, which lets you call Oatchi from any distance, or send him back to the base. Additionally, it lets you open your map and autopilot towards any accessible location. Second, using Y + Down, you can choose to control Oatchi directly, letting you do just about anything you can otherwise do. The NPCs at the Shepherd's camp also give unique dialogue if you speak to them while controlling Oatchi.
