If you disable gyro in the Switch ports of Pikmin 1+2, does it play exactly like the GameCube game?

Thought I might like using gyro in the first two games since they don't have the lock-on feature from 3 and 4, but was really baffled to see they are only active when throwing or whistling Pikmin, so I just played through the games with motion disabled. Though I wanted to ask, does it control exactly like it did on GameCube or is there some difference? I only played the Wii versions originally.
