If the tutorial is literally a "do specifically what I demand from you or I refuse to work completely" situation, I would say its fine to trigger the flags the game needs to not throw a hissy fit if you proved you could theoretically get around them, just like the rule for parts/treasures being allowed to be collected once you managed to push them into the ships beam
True, I felt the same way knowing how near iron clad Pikmin 2 is, but I like how Sample really went out of his way to never press that bag if he could avoid it. Reminds me of Ocarina of Time, namely ZFG's randomizer runs where even if an item is literally impossible to get due to logic (needing the mirror shield to shine light on a sun that reveals a chest that contains the mirror shield, which is required for Twinrova, as light arrows don't work on the sun marks IIRC in that game), he still finds a way to get to Ganon somehow. Not enough to just see the glitch on youtube, do it and them play the game like a casual, that shows dedication and mastery of the game's mechanics to prove it can be done non-TAS.
I highly disagree. He lost and its about time he just fully admits that when the challenge is a fail. There is nothing wrong with playing for the minimum amount but this video almost feels like an April fools joke with how many weirdly specific rules and loopholes he comes up with to make it seem like it was a success. I say this as a fan of the channel and not a hater I know I sound harsh though.
@@kayden2119 but thats boring, and you would already know the minimum amount, its the minimum amount to win, thats a very BORING conclusion, this is way more fun to watch then "how minimum can we use a full team of pikmin to beat pikmin 2?" ive already seen enough videos like that for other games, so im glad he isnt following that trend
@@ShokyoLeaf If you have to make up a whole ruleset to "win" maybe its not meant to be a challenge. Also it seems like cope to call it any more interesting than minimum Pikmin its practically the same challenge one is just way more convoluted.
5:46 If you're curious, the pikmin 2 decompilation project has already decompiled a significant amount of code, including the explanation for this. It sets one flag that the project dubbed DEMO_Reunite_Captains - and this is a flag that affects several places that can stop normal game behavior. I think you can get out of it by using any paper bag, but that defeats the purpose anyway.
Decompilation project? Is this similar to the one that happened awhile ago with Majora's Mask to make it playable on PC without an emulator, all while running near perfectly and having some QoL changes?
@@espurrseyes42 sort of. That is something you can do much more easily after decompiling a game, but the goal is essentially just to get the original code.
@@espurrseyes42 To add onto what the other comments were saying, the goal of a decompilation project is to essentially reverse engineer a game's source code. Once you have the source code you can understand everything the game is doing, why it's doing it, and modify it with full control over everything.
13:18 In the case of Pikmin 2 that is actually wrong. While it is true that white Pikmin only do half damage in Pikmin 3 and 4, in Pikmin 2 they have the standard damage output just like yellow or blue Pikmin. They changed white Pikmins damage Output in 3 for some reason and People keep complaining about it, so it is an understandable mistake to make since no one really mentions their strength in 2.
Normally i hate when people break rules right away in challeneges, but you go so far beyond to complete them that it barely matters and is extremely entertaining to watch either way
Yeah Sample is top tier when it comes to the quality of challenge videos. Going way above and beyond to make sure without a shadow of a doubt that every possibility was tried and tested before breaking a rule and making sure the spirit of the rule is followed as closely as possible. I really loved the visual of him getting the Spherical Atlas to the ship and seeing all the purples jump out the grab it. That looked so natural, I genuinely thought it was how pikmin worked for a hot minute. That's a testament to the quality of his work.
Maybe hot take idk but I think I would separate "breaking the rules right away" from "doing the game tutorial". Tutorials make challenges far more annoying to complete and in my PERSONAL opinion, a creator should not have to trip over themselves trying to figure out how to circumvent each individual game's tutorial when the whole point of the challenge was the meat of the gameplay It just makes it longer and always adds that "aww it's impossible" moment of the video that I've seen so many of I've gotten tired of them. True, sometimes it's interesting skipping game tutorials, but idk, if I was a creator I'd just brush it off, do the tutorial, remove any excess resources, and then play the game, where it's actually all following the core ruleset. Now... It *does* get a little finicky if there are tutorials in the middle of the game... Again, sometimes getting past stuff like that can be the meat of what's interesting about the video, so I won't complain about apologies there. But if it's just at the beginning of the game, then play your challenge my guy, no need for all the "aww I can't do it" nonsense Sample kept it short here at least, which I appreciated.
Pikmin 1: Olimar is an object with the ability to shove. Pikmin 2: Olimar is a treasure with the ability to teleport. Considering how this is escalating, I'm guessing by Pikmin 3 that Olimar will be a sacred item that ends the game.
You could have easily gotten more sprays by just picking any dungeon that had a lot of nectar eggs and just resetting each floor until you got a spray, but _noooo,_ you just HAD to flex on us with a crazy double knapsack jump to get back into the Frontier Cavern lmao. Fantastic video.
Not gonna lie the challenge itself might be interesting but your ability to script it with plot twist, cool "No f-ing way" type moments and jokes that land perfectly (like the fake escaping the tutorial or the ending where you seemingly very mad at yourself go over how there was so much money in the cave not mentioning how this money was in fact not available before paying off the debt and that this was in fact all mandatory) is what brings me back to this channel every time a video upload pops up. This deserves way more recognition and you deserve way more praise good sir! Keep up the good work and maybe Pikmin 3 next? :3
Not sure if anyone commented about it but love the detail of Zero Escape music during the talk about timeline and escaping something. Really nice touch
I've rewatched the Pikmin 1 video of this challenge like a dozen times at this point, seeing the sequel come out of nowhere (understandably) has me excited for more pikminless shenanigans
I really liked the way you made exceptions compared to a lot of pikmin challenge runs I've seen (ie, the nudging) it made it more interesting than just "how few times do we need more pikmin"
0:11 Confirmed: Sample is a bad video game. I’m sorry man, but the machine that SHREDS bad video games doesn’t lie. It didn’t shred Pikman 2 but it tried to shred you. An F for our brother in the bad video game zone
the fact that (barring the tutorial) you only need 1 of each pikmin plus an extra purple pikmin to beat the game is STILL really cool. also shows just how op purples are. i love these videos, can't wait to see what's next(:
Imagine you have to work tomorrow so you need to go to bed, you are about to go eep, and then sample uploads a follow up to his first Pikmin challenge. Guess I'm tired tomorrow.
It's one of the few series you can play every game (except Hey Pikmin, RIP e shop) on one console. If only other franchises got a fraction of that respect (though Luigi's Mansion is really close, just need the original ported to Switch, but like Hey Pikmin, you can get it for 3DS).
Hey Sample, I know you're probably not gonna see this but I felt like I had to share this. I've been watching your videos ever since the Hollow Knight Challenge run and since then you've become my favorite challenge runner on youtube BY FAR. I think a lot of youtubers wouldn't like to hear this but you've helped me fall asleep way too many times to count. I suffer from insomnia and a few months ago I discovered that putting on your videos, seeing these familiar childhood games and hearing your relaxing voice explain the intricacies of a niche game mechanic or a glitch has brought me a lot of comfort and I can honestly, with full confidence, say that you are a BIG part of my nightly routine by now. I don't want to sound parasocial, which I'm not, but I tend to put on your challenge run playlist on youtube when I wanna go to bed and I just let it run until it loops over and over again because I feel a sense of familiarity and safety when listening to your videos. I obviously watch every video when it releases so I don't fall asleep during new content (your content is not boring at all and actually really interesting and engaging) it's just when I rewatch your older videos for the bagillionth time it really helps to put me to sleep (NOT MEANT IN ANY CONDESCENDING WAY) because just like today, I look forward to every new and creative way to break a beloved childhood game of mine and your videos helping my insomnia is really just the icing on the cake. I just wanted to let it all out and if you get the chance to read this comment in the hundreds of comments you receive, I want you to know that your effort and therefore your videos and your personality severely helped improve my quality of life and especially my quality of life. You play a big part in the Happiness I feel these days and I thought if I'm this early to a video I might aswell use the chance to let you know what your videos have done for me. From the heart, thank you so much for everything Sample, I hope you find content creation enjoyable for a long time and continue to help people who might just have the same Issues as me.
I feel uncomfortable watching this video because the white Pikmin has the same name as me. Randomly through out the video, I just hear my name. Glad to see I got a shoutout though.
I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate all the work that goes into editing these videos into an interesting watch. All that extra animation work and writing etc really does make for a much more enjoyable time over what can sometimes be very dry challenge run descriptions.
Another banger video, I thoroughly enjoy just having your vids play in the background. The combination of dry delivery and sick music choices, are, well as I said, banger quality.
I mean this in the most positive way possible but I can't hear the music at 4:50 without instantly thinking about top ten goobie woobies. And yeah the rest of the video was also really good. I especially liked the subterranean complex montage.
amazing video! i recommend putting the musics you use in your videos in the description for whoever is interested in them! ive noticed a few youtubers doing it and its great!
Seconding, there were some absolutely beautiful pieces of music that I didn't know and a couple that sound vaguely familiar and I'd love to know where I've heard them
I was kinda feeling bummed today but this showed up just in time. I always look forward to your stuff and really makes my day. Every upload has it's own charm and I just appreciate that. Thanks, can't wait for whatever may come in the future.
The effort you put into these videos is crazy. Always fun to watch, thanks for the content! (Also, I had no idea the dynamic weight mechanic was a thing. Cool that the developers included that.)
Man I freaking love this content! These videos always brighten my day so much more, and once I see that Sample posts a new video I just get so excited. Keep posting man it’s great!
That was amazing. Your pikmin 1 video is one of my favorite challenge run videos of all time and i rewatched it tons of times by now because its so fun, really happy you are continuing through the series. Now i need to play pikmin 3 so i can see the next video on this 👀
Another banger video, I'm always amazed at how much sheer time and effort you put into these challenges. The strats you find and use are always so insane, and that isn't even mentioning all the great editing in the actual video itself. Keep up the great work! (also bill is the goat)
Honestly, I love this channel a lot. You make your videos really entertaining and it’s one of the only channels I can focus on for more than 20 minutes at a time. And there’s pikmin content which is fueling my hyperfixation. Just wanted to say thanks! :D
Hello, i just wanted to say this is one of my favorite videos from you, and that even though i never played pikmin before, this video is so well made i didnt feel like i was missing knowledge or context at all. The editing shown is impeccable, and you're one of my absolute favorite channels now. Stay awesome Sample 🔥🔥🔥
12:25 Woah I knew about another mum bump route, but knockback extension is a new tech to me. Gonna have to look into what you can do with that 19:06 Burrow-Nit Transportation is neat, but a Wollyhop Super Jump would have been more efficient.
I've never seen any pikmin content outside of your videos and I'm fine with that, I'd watch Sample play just about anything. amazing production and professional-level commentary alongside friendly dry humour and fun skits
YEAAAAHHH NEW SAMPLE VIDEO !!!!!! your commentary is so entertaining and the challenges are always really interesting, i love seeing the miserably time consuming methods you use to do everything. absolutely perfect video to watch while eating lunch, 10/10
On wii you can do early blues without any of the clips, you can literally just whistle them with the right camera angle and it’s super easy to pull off
As a lifelong Pikmin fan, and with Pikmin 2 being my favorite in the series, to say I was excited to see this in my feed was an understatement. I can only hope you try and go for as many treasures as possible, but I completely understand if you don't want to torment yourself like that.
i genuinely adore this channel it is perfect for me in every way the content the commentary everything! it's so good especially when my anxiety or depression is running rampant I can't wait until I can support you financially I look forward to every video you produce and I have watched some of them literally hundreds of times and I know this will be one of them too
Really well done video!! The editing is really well done and love how smooth the transitions are to the commentary and how the game sets to black on it's own. Ofcourse the render of the area and enemies are really, really lovely. All around an amazing watch! Also, nice use of Corpse Party chapter 1 theme. Horror game music is always a bop to listen to
o7 thank you for the consistent high quality content, been around since the commentated Kirby:SSU TAS and it's always been bangers. Been loving everything you make, excited to see what comes next. 10/10 good shit

These coming out every month or so instead of every couple of months is fantastic, I love the Sample Chample
12:23: Sam's secret identity as a waddle dee exposed
look man I don’t control what I say
Another banger video, I'm always amazed at how much sheer time and effort you put into these challenges. The strats you find and use are always so insane, and that isn't even mentioning all the great editing in the actual video itself. Keep up the great work!
(also bill is the goat)
this playthrough of ______ 2 on the sample chample is going to be very normal and interesting. very normal.
These Pikman videos are amazing! I would love to see more
10:02 omg i'm crying, omori music is too good - why you do me like that brother 😭😭

Honestly, I love this channel a lot. You make your videos really entertaining and it’s one of the only channels I can focus on for more than 20 minutes at a time. And there’s pikmin content which is fueling my hyperfixation. Just wanted to say thanks! :D
WAKE UP sample just posted
dude i love all of these videos, i can't wait for the next *(entertaining)* hell you put yourself through
13:10 that's my name you can't have it
Yet again the music choices are top tier. Love getting the 999 and DR representation
Also the path of pain from Hollow Knight
6:55 Schrodinger's Jimmy
Real
damn it you already commented this
Hello, i just wanted to say this is one of my favorite videos from you, and that even though i never played pikmin before, this video is so well made i didnt feel like i was missing knowledge or context at all. The editing shown is impeccable, and you're one of my absolute favorite channels now. Stay awesome Sample 🔥🔥🔥
12:25
Woah I knew about another mum bump route, but knockback extension is a new tech to me. Gonna have to look into what you can do with that
19:06
Burrow-Nit Transportation is neat, but a Wollyhop Super Jump would have been more efficient.
Aw man I completely forgot about that trick, would’ve been super cool actually
Love the editing style of the two videoes, so entertaining
0:16 Of course you managed to take it out, it's not even close to being a bad game.
I've never seen any pikmin content outside of your videos and I'm fine with that, I'd watch Sample play just about anything. amazing production and professional-level commentary alongside friendly dry humour and fun skits
11:26 The "Awakening Wood" is...what now?
dw abt it
YEAAAAHHH NEW SAMPLE VIDEO !!!!!!
your commentary is so entertaining and the challenges are always really interesting, i love seeing the miserably time consuming methods you use to do everything. absolutely perfect video to watch while eating lunch, 10/10
21:03 thanks
no problem Jordan
Wow! This challenge required a LOT of tricks and effort, props to you for getting it done!
Would not be surprised if I see Pikmin 3 with 1 of Each Pikmin in 3 months
I have to get it out of that dang machine first
@@SampleChample Maybe it is for the best
On wii you can do early blues without any of the clips, you can literally just whistle them with the right camera angle and it’s super easy to pull off
30:55 "One of 'two' caves," Sam? You silly billy. This Hole of Heroes erasure won't stand.
Nope doesn’t exist wistful wild is DLC at best
As a lifelong Pikmin fan, and with Pikmin 2 being my favorite in the series, to say I was excited to see this in my feed was an understatement. I can only hope you try and go for as many treasures as possible, but I completely understand if you don't want to torment yourself like that.
Max% in this challenge would destroy my life so prolly not unfortunately
Anyone know what music starts playing at 4:50?
Penis music
Your dedication is insane. Pikmin is no joke. And challenges are even more brutal
Very impressive. Pikmin 3 is probably gonna suck due to the fact you need to keep getting fruits to not lose
I will simply not eat
@@SampleChample don't the pilots die then? or do you just get a debuff?
Unfortunately, the pilots refuse to live unless they get to eat
i genuinely adore this channel it is perfect for me in every way the content the commentary everything! it's so good especially when my anxiety or depression is running rampant I can't wait until I can support you financially I look forward to every video you produce and I have watched some of them literally hundreds of times and I know this will be one of them too
45:13 first time I've seen myself in one of these outros
Really well done video!! The editing is really well done and love how smooth the transitions are to the commentary and how the game sets to black on it's own. Ofcourse the render of the area and enemies are really, really lovely. All around an amazing watch!
Also, nice use of Corpse Party chapter 1 theme. Horror game music is always a bop to listen to
0:28 rip pikmin 3
you’re actually insane, keep up with the great vids my man. absolutely adore your videos and you always hearts all comments
YOU CAN'T JUST USE MORPHOGENETIC SORROW AT THE START OF THE VIDEO 😭😭😭😭😭 that should be illegal
legit all of zero escape flashed through my head
The editing in this is excellent!
1:08 Chapter (:
I like listening so Sample’s videos as I fall asleep. It’s oddly comforting 😴
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if olimar gets knocked out while you can't switch to louie, you do end up being able to switch to him, right?
Yup! That’s the pacifist strat if you don’t wanna ever kill Jimmy, but I was perfectly fine with doin some time travel shenanigans
YEAH NEW SAMPLE VIDEO WOOOO!! Good job with the challenge, the glitches and stuff you show off is mindblowing to me!
We Pikmen now
Most pumped ive been to see a new video come out in a hot minute. Keep it up man!
The squeaquel
That Escaping the Tutorial bit is the first things thats GENUINELY scared me in ages. 😭
You set it up like a real horror segment congrats lol
3:47 Missed the opportunity to name him Jumpy 😔
Holy you’re actually insanely correct
Eyy we're reaping the benefits of you going full time. Keep up the amazing content
So awesome that you did 2 as well !!! I loved loved loved the music choices in the bkg in the first one and this was no different,, great video!
o7 thank you for the consistent high quality content, been around since the commentated Kirby:SSU TAS and it's always been bangers. Been loving everything you make, excited to see what comes next. 10/10 good shit
