Can You Beat Pikmin 2 With Only Yellow Pikmin?

[@kyogre-blue]

"Why are we getting email from the president when he's with us" Because you're supposed to get work communication in writing! He just has some small shred of professionalism!

[@pressaTD]

Ah fair point. I love a good professional

[@gldni17]

Wait, based on the text of the email, it implies he only came to help you so he could dodge the debt collectors. Which, considering he confused 6k pokos for 10k pokos, actually tracks pretty well.

[@protipbro]

Liked as soon as I heard “ Yellow pickmin deserve better” FINALLY a pikmin youtuber that actually DOESN’T hate yellows!

[@ScavengingWisdom]

Agreed

[@Zorgdub]

"The onion is missing, this may be a slight inconvenience." Yeah, you could say that...

[@sethmeaseles3301]

White Pikmin being at the bottom is criminal for Pikmin 2. They're amazing for treasure and berries because of how fast they are compared to everyone else. Pikmin 3 and 4 really ruined them so hard by making everyone faster, limiting the poison hazards, and getting rid of buried treasure.

[@pressaTD]

They were up against purple and Bulbmin in their poll so it was tough competition :(

[@sethmeaseles3301]

​@@pressaTDya that makes a lot more sense now. As a staunch white Pikmin supporter, even I would have a hard time deciding which of the 3 to pick.

[@O-01-04]

White Pikmin are my favourite Pikmin next to Bulbmin, and it really does make me so sad that Pikmin 3 and 4 basically took them out back and shot them, but at least 4 threw them a bone by giving them back their poison damage so that one white pikmin is enough to kill a bulborb iirc vs Pikmin 3 needing like 5 whites to do that if they're eaten.

[@FutaYuuta]

we must secure a future for white pikmin

[@PineappleonPizza98]

For anyone wondering, I'm pretty sure that every treasure Press A collected would still be obtainable in the vanilla game, with the obvious exceptions of the globe halves and everything which he used Bulbmin for. As for getting to the Snagret Hole in vanilla, you can either use the Five man Napsack glitch shown in the video (since you require the Yellow or Blue Onion for it to work) or lure the Creeping Crysanthemum on the ledge to fall down taking advantage of its attack as demonstrated also in the video. Great video, though!

[@Kirblook]

13:11 no way ! A imonlyhereforpikmin cameo ! Huge !

[@Mazon7]

Can you yellow pikmin 2 with beat only pikmin

[@daniela1206]

19:15 "Ruin her career!!!!" I live haha thats so funny

[@Gamerman-lu9bs]

Yellow pikmin? Nah man, PISSMIN

[@pressaTD]

I was shocked when the pod referenced the yellow pikmin as piss

[@dizzyybun]

Cool concept, overall good video, but it's a bit disappointing that this is modded while the thumbnail and title make it seem like this will be a vanilla challenge. Would've been nice if you at least directly acknowledged whether or not it was possible in vanilla, and why not if it wasn't

[@PineappleonPizza98]

Agreed! Though I'm pretty sure that every treasure Press A collected would still be obtainable in the vanilla game, with the obvious exceptions of the globe halves and everything which he used Bulbmin for.

[@NewTungsten]

I like how the Titan Dweevil has the Demon Core as a weapon

[@captainjaysalty]

If I remember correctly more effort went into the Titan Dweevil itself than the rest of the hack, solely because I wanted to trick the player into thinking that they could cheese the Titan Dweevil with yellows. Also yea demon core funnie

[@pressaTD]

@captainjaysalty omg it’s Salty!

[@captainjaysalty]

@@pressaTDhiii

[@captainjaysalty]

Yellow Pikmin are the best!

[@DiamondzFinder_]

This is a great video, and the mod is cool too, but personally I feel like in challenge like this, adding nerfs like not having an onion and buffs like needing les pokos feels arbitrary and takes away from the satisfaction of the original challenge imo. I'm not saying that it's not valid exactly, just that it feels less like "beating pikmin 2 with only yellow pikmin" and more like "beating a version of the pikmin 2 that only uses yellow pikmin and is a little different". In fact adding additional challenges doesn't necessarily do that all the time, but instilling those challenges into the framework of the game itself does for me. I just personally prefer the "we need to use red pikmin for the tutorial, but we can limit how much we use them as much as possible" kind of approach over the "we changed the game in a couple ways, mostly to make it harder" way, but I'm also not good at explaining how I feel lol, though I felt i should express that just out of honesty as a fan of this channel and of challenge videos in games in general. But other than that, very fun, keep up the great videos!

[@pressaTD]

All fair points! I wanted to make this more of a fun video. Glad you still enjoyed it!

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

Yeah, bananas are my favorite. They silly

[@GoldenTerrabyte]

Seeing actual rom hacks get used to make these challenges work with the Pikmin types you don't normally start with is a really cool evolution of these videos, it's opening up the possibilities here by a lot!

[@The_Goofy_Plush]

6:41 Did you know? You can get past this poison wall without whites? YEAH, I KNOW, ITS CRAZY! But Listen for a moment, Its Possible to get the Wall down with reds by throwing them at a very specific angle on the wall, and eventually it will go down, I did a run where I cant use Purples or whites unless needed for 100% completion. And NO i am not skilled enough to do a creeping chrysanthemum belly bounce. But I am skilled enough to get past this wall. So when the wall gets broken down to 2 or 1, you can throw your pikmin across, let them attack and Kill the Creeping chrysanthemum, and because, they will go over to the bridge and do this 🔄. And you can whistle the pikmin off the corpse on the other side and you can command them to attack the bridge. 👍🏻

[@fishy_fish1003]

Wait so the poison geysers shield effect doesn’t work on a certain part of the wall?

[@The_Goofy_Plush]

@@fishy_fish1003 no, its just, if you throw ur pikmin at a very specific angle, they will bounce off the wall far enough to get at least 1 hit in.

[@The_Goofy_Plush]

And sometimes, you can even get them to attack the wall, but it isn’t consistent

[@Sandvichman.]

[@kylegreen482]

So nice to see a Press A video after a hard day at work

[@dashyburd]

Usually the strat I see and use myself for the Titan Dweevil is using yellows to take down every other weapon and THEN the shock therapist last. Since, y'know, yellows are immune to it. They also reach the parts more easily so that's a plus.

[@justinweiss2661]

One day he's gonna have to play this game with only white pikmin. Might have to change the naming convention, though. (replace "yellow" with "white" in the title of this video and say it out loud. You'll see what I mean)

[@pressaTD]

It’s already been done on this channel 😮

yellow pikmin be like we are going to have big cute ears we are going to be the best of all time

[@GangrenousMaximus]

This mod has too many changes tbh

[@pressaTD]

That’s how mods work lol

[@captainjaysalty]

To be fair most of the changes were either to prevent the hack from feeling lame/mundane and shaking up the vanilla experience Like if I just swapped reds for yellows the run would have ended in the first cave, that’s not a fun hack

[@GangrenousMaximus]

@@captainjaysalty Part of the fun of these challenges is getting around these stipulations. That's why I love these videos. Also, not having purples is the only thing that could matter in first cave.

[@GangrenousMaximus]

@@pressaTD Sure but the mod makes the challenge easier is what I'm saying here bro, you totally could do the glitches from the other videos.

[@dragonkeychain]

Just in time for lunch!!

[@Sandvichman.]

oh this is a whole different thing i was kinda looking forward to clipping through hell or smn to get yellows early good idea, though doing another challenge with another pikmin that acts like a default avatar until its resistance is relevant would have been meh

[@BoulderWraith]

Woah this Captain Salty guy sounds pretty cool

[@pressaTD]

I agree!

[@Pyrathiolys]

Not showing you beating the crap out of the Waterwraith is CRIMINAL

[@nethanielelliott4949]

Yellow pikmin my favorite ❤

[@sunshowers3838]

Yellow and White Pikmin are my favourites, so that chart at the beginning makes me sad. :(

They truly deserve better, but so does every Pikmin type

[@Amongusplayer69]

Wow i didnt expect that for some reason gotta do red next of course thank you for uploading this

[@NachoChezChip]

Yellows are the best Pikmin type in 1, second best in two, Third best in 3, and decent in Pikmin 4, while being my favorite pikmin

Nice.. Pikkai only run. (For those who don't know, Pikkai was KZbinr that deleted his channel because he was overwhelmed. His channel logo was a yellow Pikmin.)

[@O-01-04]

Yaknow, I've been thinking on how possible it is to beat Pikmin 2 if you have to end each day with a Pikmin Extinction, Barring Day 1 of course, and then so it isn't just a big tedious grind, putting a 30-45 day limit until the challenge is "Failed" by just saying the President got his fucking knees removed or something if the debt isn't paid off in time, or whatever excuse is needed to even put a time limit on Pikmin 2 if you go the rescue louie route. I know this was something done by JinjoVitis for Pikmin 1, in any case. Also would probably wanna mod in Ivory + Violet candypop buds to just more easily get White/Purple Pikmin instead of needing to go to a cave for them every damn time or something.

[@TheCookieMC_]

Yellow pikmin finally getting the respect it deserves

[@gamecubing8619]

We needed bulbmans

[@pressaTD]

We really do

[@Kirainian_Gaming]

FINALLY. Someone MODS the game for these kinds of challenges

[@pressaTD]

My thoughts exactly

[@hoothoot7122]

Imagine if white pikmin could be used to purify things. I also think purples should be immune to knock back/wind cause both types are bad in 3 and 4

[@WhitePikm1n]

now do red only, you must do it

[@WiktorUrbanowicz]

Agree

[@blakeerlenbeck-jd1sq]

Two ships lol

[@WC3fanatic997]

All watching your videos has done for me is instill a deep, wanting desire for them to have created a port of Pimin 2 to the 3DS like they did with some other GC titles. I played that game so much back in the day; I had 25,000 Pikmin on my last save file, but I have no place to set up a GC anymore.

[@pressaTD]

Pikmin 2 is also on the switch if you have that
