[@Gimmicking]

Technically, you can pay off the debt by farming bulborbs in the first cave

[@robinlindgren6429]

yes, but it wouldn't reduce the number of required pikmin. 35 are required for the second paper bag and no more than 35 are made before paying off the debt (excluding pikmin conversions), so farming bulborbs in the first cave would not help in the challenge, it would only be a tedious way of completing the same challenge differently.

[@ww6372]

@Robin Lindgren it would be useful for a minimum exploration run. If someone would be crazy enough to do it, but there is crazier in other games

My theory on why the Yellow Glitch works is that the cutscene only triggers with leaf pikmen. When they first joined his party, they were flowered. Then they lost their flower from the enemy, triggering the cutscene

[@berry.1uvr]

I’m pretty sure the cutscene starts because the pikmin was plucked, and usually plucking them is what activates the cutscene.

[@syweb2]

@@berry.1uvr Except in Pikmin 2, your first encounters with these Pikmin are as pre-plucked wild Pikmin.

[@berry.1uvr]

@@syweb2 Well I guess there was a hidden cutscene that was meant to be used if you somehow plucked a yellow before finding them at the Distant Spring? Or maybe the cutscene activates when you’re a certain distance away from a yellow (not counting ones that are buried).

[@TheFrantastic]

​@@syweb2Could it be code left over from the first game? Pikmin 2 is known for being rushed with its reused maps from Pikmin, so it wouldn't be surprising if there was code from the first game that goes unused in the second and only can be activated with glitches and exploits.

[@brianhull2407]

@@TheFrantastic That seems likely. Even if it wasn’t rushed, that would still be plausible since games often reuse code from previous games in the series if they’re similar enough. Here’s my understanding if that theory is true: The wild Pikmin are programmed to not respond to being touched like idle Pikmin are, so it is expected that the only way to get them to join your squad is to whistle them, so they duplicated the code for plucking the first Yellow and Blue Pikmin for a new function that gets called when you whistle your first Yellow/Blue Pikmin. They had to rework it a bit, but it’s still mostly the same. However, the original functions are still in the code. This doesn’t normally matter, since they only get called if you pluck a Red/Yellow/Blue Pikmin when the flag saying you haven’t “unlocked” that Pikmin yet is not set, and both the old and new functions set that flag. Now, the thing is that wild Pikmin are treated identically to idle Pikmin with the following exceptions: They don’t get included in the displayed Pikmin counters, they’re colored normally (idle Pikmin are normally paler with glowing leaves/flowers/buds), they don’t die after sunset even if they aren’t at the landing site, they add to your Pikmin counts when added to your squad the same way a sprouted Pikmin does, they have a different idle animation, they inflict no damage to enemies, and they don’t join your squad by being in proximity with a captain. They do, however, still attack nearby enemies, pull nearby grass, and drink nectar like idle Pikmin do (in order for the wild Blue Pikmin to be attacking Wogpoles when you encounter them), and that behavior (aside from doing no damage to enemies) is identical to idle Pikmin in terms of how that works. Notably, when a wild or idle Pikmin finishes growing a flower after drinking nectar, if a captain is nearby, they will automatically join that captain’s squad; this is separate from the way idle Pikmin join their squad by being touched. If this happens before the “wild Pikmin” scene gets triggered, it still won’t trigger since that scene only gets triggered if you _whistle_ a wild Pikmin. As such, no flags indicating that either that Pikmin type or its corresponding Onion have been unlocked. (The only reason you may still be able to use that Onion for withdrawing that Pikmin type is because there is a separate check at the start of each day to see if you have any Pikmin of that type sprouted and, if so, you get an Onion there with the ability to pull Pikmin of that type from it.) Now, that isn’t enough. With the exception of the Violet and Ivory Candypop Buds, each Candypop Bud type checks to see if the flag for unlocking the corresponding color of Pikmin (not the Onion flag) is set, and they will not spawn (or, in the case of the Queen Candypop Bud where you have at least one of the original three colors, cycle through that color) if that flag isn’t set for that particular color. Since we need to get more than just the one Yellow and the one Blue, we need to get Queen Candypop Buds to cycle through those colors. Thankfully, that flag can be set by simply triggering either the old or new “new Pikmin obtained” scene for that type. We can trigger the old “plucked Pikmin” scene by having a Swooping Snitchbug (or a Mamuta, for that matter) bury the glitched Pikmin, then plucking the resulting Pikmin Sprout, triggering the old cutscene function. This does lead to some unintended behavior. The new function sets another flag (that the Onion is unlocked) to allow for the corresponding Onion to operate normally, but the deprecated function doesn’t, as that flag would be triggered by a separate cutscene function from Pikmin 1 that happened when approaching the deactivated Onion, causing it to activate and sprout a single seed. Because that flag wasn’t set, the game thinks the Onion wasn’t unlocked, so it doesn’t ascend at sunset like it normally would, it is partially underground (like a deactivated one is), and it doesn’t sprout Pikmin even during a Pikmin extinction (there in order to not have them sprout Pikmin in Pikmin 1 before you unlocked that Onion). However, this is separate from the flags to see if the Onion’s tractor-beam-thing appears (and, thus, Pikmin can be stored in or retrieved from that Onion); whether the Onion will be at the landing site, in its hidden location, or not spawn at all at the start of each day; and the spawning and behavior of Candypop Buds, so those still work normally. Thus, doing the glitch would cause the Onion to not spawn Pikmin even during an extinction, be partially underground rather than on its “legs”, and not behave as it should at the start and end of each day (landing or flying off, respectively), but it will still appear at the landing site, still have a tractor beam, still function normally for withdrawing or storing Pikmin of the corresponding type, and still trigger the Pikmin Extinction cutscene at the start of each day should you have zero of that particular Pikmin color at all (even though no Pikmin of that color will sprout). Additionally, Candypop Buds of that color will still spawn and work normally, Queen Candypop Buds will still cycle through that color and function normally, the Pikmin counters will still function normally, and the Pikmin themselves will behave no differently. This is all just hypothetical, though.

About the firey bulblax, it is possible to kill it with purple pikmin. It is extremely tedious, but with precise throwing and immediately calling burning purple pikmin, they can still cause damage and stun with their ground pound.

You can get to Bulblax Kingdom with the Napsack the same way you did with Gluttons Kitchen. Also, if you reset the cave and get lucky, you can get all the items in Snarget Hole 6 without needing Blue

I was kinda phased out of this video, in the process of petting my dog, when I heard "stained red with the blood of the innocent" in a fucking Pikmin guide. That uh.. caught me off guard suffice it to say.

The fact that you went through the Submerged Castle, collected all treasures in one trip, and lost no Pikmin whatsoever, tells me that you are a person to be feared.

[@Miguelito7654]

I’ve been waiting for this for months. Yes it’s finally out!! 😄👍

[@Exofrick]

this doesn't help much but it would probably shorten the farming in citadel of spiders by 1 trip and it's that you can actually get the healing cask in the awakening wood without using any yellow pikmin by using purples since purple pikmin have a homing ability when thrown at anything it's possible to throw them onto ledge with the healing cask by combining their homing ability with the slight bit of extra height and speed you get while throwing pikmin while moving

I just watched this video and I just wanted to compliment you on the insanely good editing this video has! The amount of every pikmin and treasure for the area you're in ALWAYS being on screen is very helpful, while keeping them outside of the box so it doesn't obstruct the view of the gameplay is very smart! Even the little detail of the icon of a treasure having a little shine when mentioned really goes a long way!! Not only is the editing very good, but the flow of the video makes sure to cut down the boring parts so that the viewer keeps engaged in you making progress. Plus the little funny comments you make on some things are very entertaining :)

TAKE MY ENGAGEMENT AND RUN MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENS

[@RandomGameCritic]

It's technically possible to pay off the debt with only 16 pikmin. There's a ton of tricky glitches you have to perform, but it's possible to get through the Emergence Cave on day 1 with nothing more than the 5 pikmin that Olimar starts with and the 11 pikmin that Louie is forced to grow in order to crush the bag. The Pikmin 2 wiki has a "5 day challenge run" that outlines what to do.

[@andressiv8760]

Awesome video dude! Pikmin 2 is one of my favorite game for the gamecube and see you dominating it so flawlessly blew my mind! Keep it up :D

[@GgGia247]

What about Pokémon one

[@DudeTheMighty]

You were tasked with protecting three endangered species (red, yellow, and blue pikmin) as well as re-establishing two extinct species (purple and white pikmin). At the end, three of those species (yellow, blue, and white pikmin) ended up extinct, one species was left with only a single individual (red pikmin), and the fifth was basically intact (purple pikmin). Not only did you ravage the fauna in the citadel of spiders, you caused a decrease in biodiversity. Olimar may not be a capitalist, but he's also _definitely_ not an environmentalist. /s

[@Dr.juiceboxtv]

So glad I found this channel. Really like your style, guy. Keep up the good work.

[@typhoonlava6488]

You can also use the Pikmin carry AI to get to the Bulblax Kingdom with two precise pikmin and can get the Healing Cask without yellows with a precise purple pikmin run throw same with the Air Braker by use two running throw at it with purple pikmin, their path will go to the island instead of the water.

[@illwill42]

I always knew about the carmex trick, didnt know other people knew about it! I remembered throwing a purple pikmin up there by accident and it blew my mind lol

[@shaidreamcast5141]

So theres a lot of treasures you missed before the Debt that you could get much earlier Healing Cask - A Purple Pikmin can just barely reach it if you do a running throw Stupendous Lens/Science Project - If you reset Sublevel 6 of Snagret Hole enough times, you'll get lucky and all the treasures will be reachable Bulblax Kingdom - You can napsack up the tree twice to reach it as early as Day 3 White Goodness - Same as before, resetting for the right layout removes the need for Yellows

[@andrewwicks5465]

12:20 for a second you can see he restarted the game because one of his Pikmin got killed

[@fabiopauli420]

14:55 Theory: The yellow pikmin extintion does happen and that is what helps you What do i mean? The yellow pikmin you steal is considered dead the moment it gets grabbed and pushed into the ground by the enemy. Causing a Pikmin extinction to be triggered at the same time as the introduction as you plugged a unique ID of Pikmin from the ground for the first time. However the extinction cant be completed since the yellow onion is currently not loaded since you are in a dungeon. They game however thinks an extinction has just been triggered and to prevent multiple extinctions from happening while the seed hasnt reached the ground yet the game sets a flagg till you pull that yellow pikmin out. However you did plug one by plugging the yellow pikmin off the ground meaning you trigger the extinction resolution without being in an area to be able to do so normally. I would be curious what would happen if the yellow pikmin gets grabbed again before exiting the cave and if it potentially avoids the glitch or not. If it does my theory is most likely correct and the misstiming of operations sequenzbreaks the functions what causes the yellow onion to think it is in permanent extinction mode with no way of getting out of it since the seed you are mend to pick has never been loaded in succesfully.

[@crocobae]

To pay off the debt, you only need 21 Pikmin. You can come back to the utter scrap and get it with purples. The paper bag only needs 20 Purples, but you need a Red to prevent an extinction. I heard once of an exploit where any Purples can destroy the poison pipes, and another where any Pikmin can be unaffected by hazards. I'm not sure of the latter's verifiability, nor do I know how to do it. You can use Candypop Buds to switch between Red, Purples, and Whites. It would be very slow, but it would still work Instead, you could just Convert one Purple to a White, for buried treasures. You could end with 1 red, 19 purples, and 1 white. if you wanted to be more efficent, 22 Pikmin could work. 1 Red, 20 Purples, and 1 White, avoiding the poision gate exploits I listed.

[@justindijk7726]

You'd still do the things you were gonna do. i'm SO glad i decided not to bother with the pikmin series, alot of their choices for "treasures" makes no sense and you'd think there's be alot more tree parkour like situations and levels because anyone who knows anything about foods produced by plants like apples, cherries, kiwi's, and pumpkin know that they contain seeds and those seeds turn into the respective plant which produces MORE of that food. i'd like to think the develpers of Pikmin were focused on making a fun game and not a "world" meant to take seriously but things like that will bother me to no end.
