This is incredible! Reminds me of when early blues was found and made pikmin 2 possible in 7 days. It’s always impressive to me that people are dedicated enough to figure out creative ways to shave off days we never thought possible, and you were dedicated enough to execute it! Impressive job!
@@ShuckleShellAnemia yeah it's unfortunate this doesn't show up for story mode. That being said, on mission mode those "WR" are wrong on some stages, for some reason the devs capped the score, but those score can be beaten fairly easily
The 10 "invincible" Pikmin didn't count in the End of Day death totals, interestingly enough. 2 Reds and 2 Rocks died, and the number of Wings went from 80 to 13, so that should be 71 deaths, but the game counted 61.
I am not going to pretend to understand the how's or why's of Pikmin 3's speedrunning techs. But if a way to clip past/break through electric gates early would that allow for less days in game time or less time in RTA? I just thought of this when I saw the electric gate for the pulley puzzle in Garden of Hope and I was curious.
Unfortunately it wouldn't really save days or time. Pikmin 3 has 5 Pikmin types each with different abilities, and certain fruits require certain abilities to collect. It's not possible to unlock all the types before day 6, which means you have to revisit areas to collect the fruits that you didn't have the necessary Pikmin for on the first visit. In the case of electric gates, if there was a way to get around them (which there is for the one you described but isn't for other ones as far as I know), you might be able to get those fruits early, but you'd still have to return later anyway to get the fruits requiring Winged or Blue Pikmin. In fact, the Garden of Hope is the only area that doesn't require an extra revisit, since the game's story requires you to revisit it anyway, and on that revisit you unlock the last Pikmin type, meaning you can get all the fruits on that day. For these reasons, the intended minimum number of days to collect all fruits is 10. This video shows it's possible to do it in 9 though, by using a glitch in the Twilight River to collect 2 fruits with Winged Pikmin that would normally require Blue Pikmin. However, it's unlikely another day will be saved this way, as in the Distant Tundra and Tropical Wilds, you don't have Winged Pikmin to work with either, and there are fruits that require Winged Pikmin in those areas that we don't have glitches to work around.
@@sopranogame Thank you for the explanation! Maybe one day they’ll find a glitch to switch a pikmin’s type from fire to flying or something. I won’t expect it but it would be cool.
@@EllaHulk, in this annoyingly long comment that I spent way too much time on, I take a look at whether the day limit could theoretically be lowered to 8. Day 1: In order to "combine" this day with day 4, which is used to revisit this area to defeat the sandbelching meerslug, we would need to somehow get out of the cave without triggering the cutscene that ends the day (likely impossible because there's a loading zone), and make it all the way to the meerslug itself with only reds and one leader. Chances are, the meerslug isn't even loaded on day 1, so this day is likely impossible to shave time off of. Day 2: Certainly impossible to do everything in day 2 and the return after finding louie, all in one day. You only have 2 of the 5 pikmin types, you'd need to find a way to clip past the massive wall that Louie somehow breaks, and then find out how to get EVERY single fruit, including ones such as the bug-eyed crawmad in the cave behind the electric gate which is not even loaded on your first visit. And if even if tricks were discovered for everything, it would still all have to be done in the 18 minutes that Pikmin 3DX gives you. Not happening either. Day 3: This one has slightly more hope, but there are two problems. Two fruits, I should say. By this point you have yellows and a third leader. But there would still need a lot of tricks not yet discovered yet. So far the only way yet found to get underwater fruits is with wings, which you do not have at this time--and in the center of the big pond west of the bridge is a portable sunset fruit, which hangs off of the tree. It cannot be carried while hanging from the tree, and even with the crushing glitch, yellows/reds/rocks do not have carrying paths for areas like this that are underwater. Some glitch would need to be found that allows it to fly out of the water onto land, perhaps taking advantage of the physics of objects hanging from trees. But the second problem, the astringent clump, is behind a bamboo gate. We would need to both find a way to get the leaders past the gate (likely with a clip), and then find a way to get it over the gate. In pikmin 2, there was a glitch where you would take advantage of how the game handles carrying speed for pikmin under a spicy spray to get a treasure called the decorative goo to fly over an electric gate. If something like that was found, this may be possible. But right now, it's out of the question. Day 4: This day can't be combined with day 1, but can it be combined with the return with blue pikmin? Probably not. I don't want to go through everything, but there are fruits such as the one in the cave behind flighty joustmites that are specifically programmed to only come out of the ground when interacted with by winged pikmin. It cannot even be carried, since the pikmin you have at this point don't have lines. And that's just one: there is the banana and peckish aristocrab with a fruit (I forget which) behind a pool of water, and--as with all other possible strategies, must be done in only 18 minutes. This one likely will not happen either. Day 5: Already shaved a day off of. Congrats to Ice Cube for pulling this off, this is the first time in 9 years the limit has been reduced! Day 6: Also already compiled into one day. Cannot be combined with day 2, for reasons mentioned above. Days 7, 8, and 9 (assuming doing a 10 day run): Already explained above why their revisits cannot be taken away. Day 10 (or day 9 in a 9 day run): Already made to be done in one day. So all in all, is a 8 day run possible? Right now, absolutely not even close. So many glitches and strats need to be found. It's likely that this is the final time the limit will ever be reduced.
@@spaghetti8044 As for Day 3, I was able to throw a captain over the bamboo gate by getting two captains out of bounds and throwing very precisely. This lets you kill the Bulbear early, but the Astringent Clump still can't get over the bamboo gate. If I had to guess a way to do it, it would involve carrying as many corpses to the bamboo gate as you can and messing with them until eventually they push the Astringent Clump over the gate. This isn't entirely out of the question, it'd be like how Louie gets pushed through the invisible wall in Twilight River. But pushing objects through gates is almost unheard of. Sure, Winged Pikmin can get the Tremendous Sniffer over the Bomb Rock Wall in Twilight River, but that requires going to sunset and coming back the next day.
Would it be possible to crush Winged Pikmin if they are holding on to a grounded object? Like if they're carrying a corpse or fruit, and then got crushed by a Wollywog. Have people checked that method yet? If not, maybe it could be a more reliable method of getting the invincibility glitch?
Actually I don't know if they can get crushed that way. However to get the crush glitch you need to hold the pikmin at the same moment it gets crushed, which cannot happen if the Pikmin is grabbing on something and therefore not in your party. So I don't think that would work, unfortunately
@@ice_cube I could've sworn non-winged Pikmin can get the invincible glitch via crushing. Good thing I read the description before correcting you! How weird, "grounded" invincible Pikmin can destroy walls and fight enemies, but not collect fruit. What a shame. What if you used the glitch to get to the Calcified Crushblat early? There's Lapiz Lazuli Candypop buds there, though I don't know if they're loaded in by that point. Edit: I caught my own curiosity and just had to try to blow up that dirt wall myself. Invincible Pikmin are a tricky bunch. They won't come back to your squad, so you have to hold onto them. But once you go into the water they get frozen in a drowning animation. You can throw them into the water but from that point on you have to push them. I tried pushing them all the way to the wall but you can't push an idle Pikmin through a transition. I got the idea to give the Invincible Pikmin a bomb rock. They didn't want to come into the water, but if you just keep going they'll teleport to you when you get to the dirt wall. The problem is they won't do anything with their bomb once they're there, and you can't throw them. If you dismiss them, they continue to do nothing. One thing I did find out when the Invincible Pikmin found a Skitter Leaf is that when they're carrying things they're stuck because there's no path, like you said. But if a captain dodges into them, they can push them in whatever direction they want. I wanted to see if I could push him onto land, and if he'll find his way back when he does. Unfortunately the Pikmin seemed to get caught onto the shore. Perhaps it's a matter of precision, like how in Pikmin 1 you'd have to avoid "getting caught on the triangles" when pushing ship parts with the captain's body.
Well, the regular 100% route never really comes close to the day limit, so it's most likely 10 days as well... Now, if the strategy used for Twilight River could be significantly optimised, like with a frame by frame tas, I suppose the 9 days could be reached as well...

whats the point of spamming whistle at 36:10 ?
I think it was just a timing thing.
So in this category does time count or is it just about day count? As in, do the first days with alph and Charlie count
Alph and Charlies tutorials are considered to be day one, pretty sure they are counted due to the fact you can't really do anything special there
Incroyable

Yep, Gyro. I recommend it because using the stick can get a bit troublesome at times, and the range is nice.
