Glad to help with the challenge. Behind the scenes, I got really close to making a Gecko Code that made all Pikmin into Puffmin at all times, but ran into technical difficulties with how many things were trying to cure the Puffmin. When I tried to stub the code that runs after a Puffmin is flicked off an enemy, it would for some reason lock the Puffmin in an unresponsive state. After that setback, I gave up and went with Press A's original request: simply putting a Puffstool in every landing zone.

A good thing about this series is that you always make it like a question. Instead of "i beat the game with only puffmin" it's "can you beat the game with only puffmin?" and this gives you endless space to validly change the rules to complete the challenge. By changing the rules you're validly answering "no, but we can do it with only puffmin and 1 blue pikmin for the puffy blowhog" and that's fine and still interesting

[@exalts2982]

Heya, developer here. A possible reason your pikmin were dying off-screen to the lava spouts when you weren't looking could be due to how the game is optimized. My theory is that the game saves on resources by not running the AI of entities that aren't visible on screen, which explains why you aren't being attacked by off-screen enemies: their AI is disabled. I suspect that the game still keeps their collision and hit boxes in memory however, allowing them to be interactible. This includes objects being carried back to the onion/spaceship, and your pikmin. Since environmental objects do not have an AI state, that optimization might not include them, either as a side-effect or deliberately, meaning the lava spouts continue to spew fire and burn your very much still-intractible pikmin when you aren't looking. Or I could be wrong entirely, I'm not familiar with the code behind the Pikmin games, merely a theory. Excellent video as always, much love!

[@mariorockysonicmegasochjag]

And the Reason it worked before was probably just luck.

[@NastyMick]

It's also possible because he's using puffmen, which he isn't supposed to have, they're treated differently. He could just be stacking undocumented behavior.

[@Gulliblepikmin]

I know Pikmin 2 also has a system where if a captain or Pikmin is close enough to an object it'll be loaded no matter what, so I'm wondering if something like that also applies to 1.

[@exalts2982]

@thinkingfubuki The best way to know for sure would be to inspect the memory addresses for these geysers while the player is looking at them, and while they aren't, and observing if there's a difference in behaviour between the two. That might not be too tricky to pull off either.

[@Gamepwner1234]

​@@NastyMick In addition to puffmin potentially being jank, it could have something to do with the number of Pikmin on the map either in general or how many Pikmin are actually loaded/doing tasks. When he talks about the geysers unloading his older clips show him with all 100 Pikmin out while it looks like his attempts with puffmin never had more than 30 out total.

17:17 My guess is that puffmin and traps are always loaded; the former because they'd still count against your pikmin total since they can easily revert to normal, and the latter because they're part of the map (not moving and lacking a health bar) instead of the enemy count.

Technically the final number could be 4 pikmin and 2 throws, instead of using 10 blues to push the box you don’t push it at all. Throw a single pikmin on top of the ledge then clip out of bounds and walk up to the pikmin. Swarm the snagret every time his head gets stuck until that one pikmin kills him. Then push the part into the water and carry it back with your puffmin, would save 10 throws and 9 pikmin, regardless though great video always, keep it up:)

btw, the English version of Zelda Minish Cap perhaps has a Pikmin 1 reference. The mushroom-like enemies that spread dust when they attack, in the English version of Minish Cap, they are named Puffstool, possibly a reference to the Puffstools in Pikmin 1. From what I've read long long ago from commenters online, the JP version of Minish Cap does not have this reference to Pikmin 1 with that enemy. I know the enemy is also named Puffstool, because me when I was much younger, if I remember right, 100%'d the figurine collection in Minish Cap. I went out of my way to grind Mysterious Shells to pull the figurine gatcha in that game to get them all

[@Luigistar2401]

[@GBDupree]

Sample (the guy who showed Press A the "Dumple flick") made that video already, unfortunately you need 1 of each color of Pikmin to beat the game. And technically at least 50 pikmin to pick up every part so that the ship absorbs it (but he still got the part to the ship without pikmin) since the game doesn't know to grab a part unless its being held, even if the part in directly in the spot in front of the ship. He also can't defeat the final boss without insane luck on bomb rock spawns points (though it is theoretically possible without modding). Great video!

[@staropikmin9626]

Yes... YES! Someone else who knows about the puffmin whistle glitch! I never hear anyone talk about it! Though I'm a little confused. I remember them just kinda dying after a set amount of time, which was frustrating cause I had a theory the puffmin were immune to all elements since they counted as enemies, but they kept perishing before I could get to multiple element hazards. Though maybe I just don't remember right since I was quite young back then.

[@novicecreed]

Speaking of the whole unloaded enemies trick- do Bulbears not count for this? I remember a while back replaying the game and since I was across the map getting a piece, I figured if I didnt follow my pikmins, the bulbears wouldnt eat them all- but unfortunately it wasnt until the very end of the day that I spotted all the pieces I had picked (2-3) close to the base with zero pikmins around so it seems they were all eaten without me realizing it. Does that mean it only works if I never spawned them to begin with with the camera? The most I could think of is that since they were already loaded in from when I walked past them earlier in the day, they just stuck around the entire time?

[@danyourman9]

[@NachoChezChip]

If puffmin count as a different type, so does yellow bomb rock Pikmin

[@The_Luigi_Master]

he aint wrong

[@BitBlush]

My theory on the fire geysers is that the game needs a way to have enemies be able to attack pikmin on their way back if the return trip isnt safe. Maybe the presence of enemies causes things to stay rendered around them for this purpose, and since Puffmin are technically enemies, they render the fire. The reason this works normally is because, in all other circumstances, there *are* no enemies there. Of course, Im a newer player, so I'm only going on preexisting game design knowledge.

[@CrackedHatter3249]

I’m not 100% sure but I think that the puffmin don’t work when their off camera since they are considered enemies so they don’t have the same function of staying functional even when unloaded like normal Pikmin.

[@watsonwrote]

When I saw a comment on the Red Pikmin video that said, "now do it with puffman" I thought it was a joke. I'm so delighted that this is real

[@arekrekas213]

actually, mushroom pikmin count less as a type and more as a status effect, akin to being lit on fire

[@glacierwolf2155]

My educated guess as to why the fire geysers weren't unloaded perhaps has to do with them being treated as environmental obstacles, thus are always globally-loaded instead of locally-loaded like the enemies and plants. I don't know for sure without looking into the files, but that's my best guess.

Geyser theory: maybe the reason the fire geysers weren't safe when derendered is because they were derendered in the 'on' state, and thus just active while invis, rather than just being truly off, and in fact in such a state likely never TURNING off because they're not rendered to update that state?

[@SCA713]

My immediate thought in response to this title: Sir, are you insane? You JUST did red only-

[@Mokaygee]

13:30 The pellet doesn't slide when it's close to the wall. It slides because it's on a slope and you're touching it with olimar. If you walk away it wouldn't slide. 17:12 Fire geysers, like other enemies off screen aren't just unloaded magically because they're off screen. When pikmin walk past enemies or fire geysers, they load again. So technically it's wrong to say off screening ACB to collect Radiation Canopy just works. It doesn't. It can fail even if off screen because pikmin reload stuff when nearby.

[@pressaTD]

So it basically only works if Olimar or the pikmin don’t go near the enemy off screen?

[@Mokaygee]

@@pressaTD Right

[@latygentrad1915]

23:45 When dealing with these and other sherwigs near water I bait them into just crawling right into it. They start to drown and will take off to survive. However, you can have Olimar start slapping them as soon as they get in the water. This will stack the two kinds of damage and they won't manage to avoid becoming blue pikmin snacks.

Excellent job on this unique challenge run! But for me it was painful to see you struggling to fend off the Shearwigs while you collected the Gluon Drive though, since Olimar can actually kill Shearwigs fairly easily all by himself! All you have to do is let them chase him into the water, let the water drain their HP to almost half, then turn around and start smacking them. If you're quick enough, the combined HP drain of the water and Olimar's attacks will kill them before they can finish their "takeoff" animation!

[@Luigifan305]

If you want to try a challenge that focuses more on the routing side of things than on raw execution, I think it would be interesting if you tried to grow the absolute maximum amount of Pikmin possible (and still escaping the planet) within the 30 day limit. That isn't to say that the execution will be easy, since you'll basically have to collect every pellet and corpse on the map every single day for maximum Pikmin yield, in addition to the usual ship parts, but if you have a good enough route it ought to be possible. It'd also be really insightful when it comes to learning the ins and outs of the game's enemy spawning and respawning mechanics, building the best possible route based on what day certain enemies first show up, and how many days it takes for certain enemies come back to life once killed, if ever. Edit: Though you'll probably want to use savestates, otherwise pellet RNG might screw you over at a bad time.
