Pikmin 4 - Serene Shores 100% Speedrun (1 day)

Third area cleared! I forgot to farm purple after going through Engulfed Castle, so I had to go back all the way from the top at the end of the day, and lost ~30 seconds. Those additional purples are required to get a treasure later.

I don't think they can use Dingo in the actual 100% category since you need gold medals in all of them. I'm not sure if the time spent in them will change the routing or not though. I also don't think that doing one day 100% will be optimal for the full speed run because Louie is gonna make you go back to some of those locations.

In an interview with some of the devs, they actually talked about things like Deathless runs and they said essentially "that's cool, but we'd never do that".

As usual, you used several techniques in this run that I never would have thought of. I'm no speedrunner, but I'm still definitely going to use some of these tricks for fun. Looking forward to the rest. 👍

[@Hello-pv1xw]

You can instantly dig stuff up with bombs, if that helps

[@Atlasamsung]

Been a thing since 3, when the run gets more optimized we will see if we can save time bombing buried treasure, which honestly might be fairly soon

[@LuckyOwI777]

I don't the time it takes to open up the menu, select bombs, clsoe the menu, drop the bomb, and wait for it to explode is more effecient than letting pikmin dig it up. Also, by using bombs, you kind of have to wait for the whole process to finish, if you want to collect the treasure then. Otherwise, you have to come back to the trasure to get it. If you have Pikmin dig it up, it more of an automated process. Of course it depends, and using a bomb rock might be situational, but it could be useful!!! It just depends. The community as a whole will have to do lots of trila and error to see what saves the most time

[@Hello-pv1xw]

Ok ;(

[@QJrocks]

@@LuckyOwI777 You could at least save time on the menuing part by assigning Bomb Rocks to a shortcut button, but I'm still not certain if the time waiting for the bomb to explode would be faster than having a pikmin swarm or Max Dig Oatchi go at it. (Of course, if your pikmin and Oatchi are off doing different things, then it would be useful, but I'm not certain if there's any scenarios where that would happen.)

What are the 13 days for 100%ing all areas? 1 - Tutorial Day 2-3 Sun-Speckled Terrace 4 Blossoming Arcadia 5 Serene Shores 6 Hero's Hideaway 7 Giants Hearth 8-9 Primordial Thicket 2 Night missions, one for Bernard and one for Olimar That is only 11, are more night missons needed? Or does the day counter go over since you need to talk to Bernard the next day?

[@Luigifan305]

Both. Yes, the day counter includes the morning when you talk to Bernard to leave, but you also need to do at least one more night mission because Bernard is always the 3rd Leafling you get from the Dandori Battles, meaning you're forced to cure the first two as well. Your first two night missions are forced to be Ancient Arches and Rugged Scaffold, but after that you can pick any base location you've discovered, and a couple of them (Misshappen Pond and Water's Edge specifically) let you get 2 cures in one night, and you can then use THOSE cures on Bernard and Olimar. Also if your curious, the minimum number of days to FULLY 100% the game, including all side missions, is 33.

[@Whoeverheis11]

​@@Luigifan305that's the tutorial, 1 day per area (plus an extra day for terrace and thicket) for a total of 9, 16 night missions for a total of 25, one day for both Shipwreck Tale and the trials, and 7 days for Louie's quest?

[@nuclearpikmin5484]

@Luigifan305 if your first 2 night missions you can only obtain 1 cure, wouldnt that imply 4 missions needed since you can't cure Olimar at the same time as Bernard one cure would be wasted on a generic leafling. You cure Bernard on your 3rd night mission, but the other cure will be used on someone else, requiring a 4th for Olimar, no? Edit: This video I just found takes 10 days to rescue Olimar kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnjYoo2QfsyArqssi=OfDOs5TFkb2F5Xkv using night expeditions on day 6,7,8 and 10.

[@nvan1402]

Is that thing he does he does to the purple candypop buds just a purple pikmin trick or does it work with all of the flowers? What is even happening when he rushes in to the candypop buds that causes the purples to sprout midair?

[@avancarr8690]

He does it later on a Pink candypop bud as well. It looks like as it's shooting it out, when you crash into it, it "shakes" the entire flower causing the animation to cancel of the sprouts coming out making them default to sprouting in mid-air.

[@ShuckleShellAnemia]

You can pluck sprouts by charging the platform they’re planted into. For some reason this also works on midair sprouts.

[@iscodisco6532]

Are you gonna show the required night missions also? Or just the areas?

[@ShuckleShellAnemia]

Since they are 100% each area before they have a chance to night mission it, the only optomizations there are killing things faster and getting more glow seeds. Also I think all night missions after the first 2 can be dingo’d

You can check by pausing the game! If you're in a cave, and pause, check the upper right-hand corner, and it will show your completion level for the cave overall, and for the sublevel you are currently on. I believe that percantage includes treasures, castaways, and onions/flarics. I don't think it counts raw material

This is part of a full 100% route right? Is there not enough time in the day to do all the Dandori challenges for Platinum + the rest for 100% Area or is it just generally faster to go through the NPC at the base at the end Or does 100% only account for Area Completion and not all missions

[@CardboardBlueMage]

Time is paused in the Dandori challenges and battles so it makes no difference with respect to routing. He’s specifically trying to get the area map to 100% in this video so he probably is just skipping them to make repeat attempts less time consuming.

[@nyon7209]

This is for an All Areas 100% Minimum Days run. Rank on Dandori challenges doesn't effect area completion, so as a speedrun, actually playing them just wastes time.

[@BobbyFluffy]

0:42 "Yellow Pikmin are excellent diggers, *_but they're not great at fighting."_* I CAN'T BELIEVE A LOADING SCREEN TIP LIES. Yellow Pikmin have the same attack strength as Blues; in other words, 10. If being weaker than Reds makes you "not great at fighting," then only Reds, Purples, and Rocks are any good at fighting. Here are all the attack strengths for comparison: Reds/Purples = 15 (yes, they have the same attack strength; not entirely sure why Purples seem to feel more powerful despite that) Rocks = 20 (their attack interval is significantly slower, though, which makes their damage-over-time weaker than Reds more often than not, unless you specifically use the whistle-throw-repeat technique) Yellows/Blues = 10 Whites/Winged/Icies = 5 (Icies are still powerful, however, due to them basically being walking Ultra-Bitter Sprays in this game)

[@ice_cube]

Purples also deal a seperate pound damage

[@BobbyFluffy]

@@ice_cube Ah, that would make sense. Then I suppose in terms of combat ability, it'd go Purples > Reds > Rocks, with Rocks trumping Reds when manually throwing them yourself. But ultimately, Purples will reign supreme since their pound attack seems to have a strength of approximately 40.
