Bulbmin will not follow you to the surface and are not counted as killed. At best they would count as temporary team members and would have no effect on the number of pimin sprouted.

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.

Fun Fact: At 15:35, you can see the Yellow Onion sprouting up from the ground, kinda like Pikmin 1 when you discover them for the first time. This animation isn't actually used anywhere in the game, since all the onions are already sprouted when you discover them.

@@BierBart12 it's an unused feature in Pikmin 2. I believe on the cutting room floor they even have the cutscenes of activating the inactive red, yellow and blue onions as they exist in the game but are never used due to the onions always spawning in active.

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.

[@duskerop3276]

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.

[@MewMichaiah]

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.

[@WingedFish66]

You didn't have one to use at the time, but if you had an Ultra Bitter spray you could've used it on the Gatling Groink roaming in the Wistful Wild, as enemies killed while petrified turn into nectar (or more sprays if you're lucky). So there wouldn't have been a corpse to worry about reanimating and therefore not having to carry it back to an Onion

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 :)

[@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.

I will quote you on that 😂 loved the video! Back when i was speedrunning pikmin 2, i did low pikmin for paying off the debt, and i was thinking about going 100% with low pikmin, but i never thought of deactivating the onions to get 101 instead of 103. Maybe I'll get back into speedrunning Pikmin, but that's not for awhile, I've had my fill of speedrunning for now. I payed off the debt using only emergance cave, 454 times. It took 25 hours and I did it in one sitting on December 21st-22nd 2020. I recored the whole thing and it's on my youtube channel and twitch channel. Loved the video! Keep it up!

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.

[@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

Yeah, my run was different because I immediately took the 1 yellow and blue before I paid off my debt. But that’s not the only difference. I was concerned about the “Sprouting Tally” that’s counted at the end of Phase 1, so I try to use the Candypop buds very conservatively. Throughout most of the run, I only had 16 Reds, 18 Purples, 1 White (Swapped from the 19th necessary Purple after the paper bag), and the 1 Yellow and Blue. I also did the napsack glitch in Awakening Woods. Finally post debt. I stuck with 37 Pikmin *until I collected all treasures* that isn’t the Doomsday Apparatus. That was when I did the most swapping. I did the Submerge Castle second to last before Dream Den because I distinctly remember fighting the Titan with just Blues and the one White with one Purple off to the side. Once I got everything, I went to the same cave you went to; however, I used both the Queen Candypop Buds along with the Violets. I’m glad you aim towards just 35 pre-debt, but I’m never going below 37! 35 looks like an absolute repetitive pain while 37 is just a waiting game. To each his own.

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).
