Fast forward to Friday 5 January and Inter find themselves in need of another statement performance against Stefano Pioli's side, who in the meantime have improved leaps and bounds and represent
a far tougher obstacle to overcome than they were on opening night.
Previous subspecies, like the red, yellow, and blue varieties, are joined by rock Pikmin (whose hard outer shells make them ideal for cracking particularly
tough surfaces), and pink flying Pikmin, which don't enter until
far later in the game, but have the delightful distinction of being able to simply fly past most major
obstacles (though definitely not all).
