How Many Throws are Required to Beat Pikmin 1?

olimar canonically has shoulder joint pains, which is explained in the sales pitch for the rocket fists. the fast that he somehow can throw pikmin every frame in every game without repercussions is a miracle.

"all you have to do to kill the clam is start by drowning your red pikmin" and here i thought rimworld players were savage

Capturing raiders, imprisoning them, harvesting their organs to sell, then finally butchering them to eat, all while making them perform slave labor, is way more brutal.

That kinda sounds like a euphemism as well...

[@NunnyNugget]

Mfw putting the Answer in the thumbnail actually intrigues me 100x more than if it was kept all mysterious to the point where I have to know how and watch the full video. The straight-to-the-point, honest title is actually more engaging than what so many youtubers try this is a win in my eyes

[@davidthecommenter]

it's like in columbo, where instead of being a "Whodunnit?" it's a "Howcatchem?"

[@nodrance]

i think it works because if it was like "how many throws" you'd say "idk like 40? it's probably not interesting" and skip. But by saying 3, now you need to know how they managed it. "How many throws" isn't an interesting question "How did I do it in 3" is incredibly interesting

[@wafwaf485]

I love how anytime there's a problem in Pikmin 1, the solution is 90% of the time "take a nap" or " Multiple war crime against the Pikmin species" Oh and this video taught me that the blue Pikmin saving drowning Pikmins wasn't only a Pikmin 2 thing BreadBug

[@TitanKaiju75]

Oatchi is 100% a good boi, but I never wanna see his mug ever again in a Pikmin game outside of maybe side modes or post-game content. I play Pikmin to solve problems and overcome adversity using my army of carrot minions, not to steamroll giant evolutionary monstrosities using a doggo.

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

If Upminster is end game content to expand the life of the game in 'new game plus' I am all for it, but the core of the troubleshooting learning and combat experience should be sans Pup for the whole game up to that point. Give me a choice to say No Pup please, give me the ability to win without the OP superweapon, give me a game with power and opportunities. And give me end game pets that let you enjoy a victory lap later.

[@TheTamally]

Hell yeah, the best kind of content. A challenge run absolutely SMASHING an older version of that run.

7:24 “The Blue Pikmin throw the Red Pikmin and we get the part without any throws.” I get that it’s within the rules of the challenge, but the statement was funny to me. 15:28 “That seems possible, right?” Absolutely. You might even get it first try. “Do you know what the odds are?” (1/2)^40. I said it was possible. I never said anything about likely.

[@thelanktheist2626]

The way you've smashed these games are crazy. "Can you beat Pikmin while ignoring most game design and mechanics? Unfortunately we start this challenge by having to touch the controller..."

[@misteral9045]

This is the Pikmin version of beating Mario without A presses.

[@RevvyTeva]

I've never played so forgive me if this is a dumb thought entirely... but could blue pikmin with their lifeguard mechanic throw pikmin AND have them latch onto a flying enemy? if so that could bring it down to 2 but I feel like that's a pretty big if either way, always love breaking games down more and more as time goes, and if this is truly where this stays for the rest of time, it's still impressive it got this low!

[@pressaTD]

Huh… I think the answer is no but I’ve never actually tested it

[@bobcat946732]

I was gonna ask the same thing. When I saw all the water around the blowhog, I was like, LIFEGUARD! But it never came lol.

[@rhysplaysvirtual]

Ngl if this ends up being possible, and thought of by a non-player instead of speedrunners/challenge masters, I'll be really amused. It's always amazing when someone can figure something out just by having an outside perspective. Human brains are so fascinating.

[@kylelozinski6976]

Always appreciate the insane dedication to these challenges! RIP to every red pikmin involved in any of the water parts, it was a kinda sad humour being very excited you were able to get the part and watching them drown immediately after.

I recommend it. If you don't have original software I DO not recommend dolphin *wink wink* it's a GameCube/wii emulator where you can play it on any PC, even those with potato specs.

Excellent work! The only thing I can think of that MIGHT reduce the number further is if there were a way to somehow lead Beady out of its arena and into the bottomless pit on the other side of the Forest Navel and kill it that way, but even if that were possible, I'm not sure if it would actually result in the Guard Satellite being obtainable afterwards. Beady might just respawn the next day like nothing happened, forcing you to kill it like normal, or worse, the Guard Satellite might not respawn *period.*

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

I love how this video's title is ever so slightly different than the other one.

[@Games4Life7712]

Based on the explanation is for the puffy blowhog, it’s pretty much a game of tug of war The blowhog wants to go to its home so it stops attacking and leaves Then it gets hit so it returns Before it can attack, it’s already back to leaving The blowhog just says “IM GONNA KILL YOU- nvm I’m tired- IM GONNA KILL YOU- did I leave the oven on?”

How do we know it's possible for the bomb to spawn on the bottom in the final trial if there's no footage of it ever occurring?

[@greenmonkey3424]

if you're going just for any% lowest throws than you can only use 2 because the safe is not required to get a good ending

[@princeofhyrule2205]

The bomb rock dropping technique you were talking about is a feature added to some mods. So if people have been using the mods a lot, they may have forgotten that it is not possible outside of mods. Perhaps it was a feature added to versions of the game outside of the GC, but I’m not sure on that.

[@MizunoKetsuban]

I feel like at this point we should just start calling nudging drop kicking. Because that's just what it looks like

[@o7_AP]

An idea I just thought of to possibly reduce throws: if the enemies holding the treasures go out of bound, do the treasures just spawn in the overworld? Cause I know that happens in Pikmin 2

[@InspectorGadget923]

Fun fact, "second to last" is also known as "Penultimate" and sounds way cooler.

[@brinta2868]

@InspectorGadget923 Fun fact, in Dutch the word for "second to last" is "een-na-laatste" which literally means "one after last". "twee-na-laatste" = third to last "Twee" of course meaning two.

[@PANGPOWER]

21:00 I.. did not know blue pikmin could do that, that's really neat.

[@Grace_Scarlett]

I don't remember if this was ever tested in the original video, but for Beady, could it be possible to damage him with bomb rocks in the level by grabbing a ton of yellows, huddle under him, and at the last stomp before they dip down, have him crush one of the pikmin to cause a chain reaction. Could the bomb explosion reach him?

[@dredemeester5979]

Nooooooo oachi good boy if you don't like him just don't use him

[@gravajaumbros]

So I'm guessing the claim that the bomb rocks can spawn in the lower area is based on examining the code or something the seeing the spawn range of the bomb rocks? Something like that? I would just be concerned that, since no one has ever recorded it happening that even if the code shows it can spawn down there that there might be more code somewhere else that does invalidate that as a spawning location. So, I'm not entirely convinced that's legitimate. But even if it's not, that only shaved off three throws. So if that isn't possible it just means that the minimum throws is 6 rather than 3, which is still WAY lower than the previous 35.

[@johnkearns7244]

This should totally be a speedrun category if it isn't

I really REALLY gotta give you a huge pat on the back man cuz i'm gonna be entirely honest with you I would NOT have the patience to do ANY of these challenges that you do in these videos. I would give up after a glitch/trick doesn't work after like 3 resets MAX

[@NuevoSMD]

The polar opposite of throwing for content

[@Equ3strianGam3r]

Just a dumb question. If you use a moon jump cheat to get up where the bomb rock is, why knock it off to use to get up there again? You're already up there. Just continue without knocking the bomb rock down.

[@gravajaumbros]

I believe it's because the moon jump cheat isn't an exploit or glitch like the other techniques. It's something straight up impossible in the base game. So it was used just to show that if the bomb were down there you wouldn't have to cheat to get up there. But if you allowed cheats generally you could just, like, console command kill the three enemies that take throws and bring it down to zero. Or even just teleport every part to start right next to your ship.

[@zingodoom]

I have to be honest - this is maybe the third or fourth time I've heard about the bomb rock spawning on the lower floor super, super, super rarely, but I won't believe it until I see it in a legitimate copy of the game. The reason I'm so suspicious about this is that certain things, especially in Pikmin 1, that have been treated as "extremely rare" glitches later turned out to be total hoaxes. For YEARS, it was just accepted as a fact that there is an extremely rare glitch of Beady leaving the arena you fight him in. What's our proof? Well, you know, it's just one of those things you KNOW! Until the time came it was exposed as just having been made up So I'm suspicious of this rare bomb rock glitch in Final Trial actually being a thing or not, or just something somebody once bullshitted for clout

[@MadMewMew-mu3eq]

I believe the beady longlegs can be damage by its feet in the japanese version, could this be potentially used to bring down a throw?
