0:00 Pikmin 1 : Only Yellows (Rerun)
3:46 Pikmin 2 : Only Purples - เกม
Shoutout to "PressA!" for not only helping me give the Pikmin 1 run some closure, but also for provoking me into doing this run as well. Check him out here : www.youtube.com/@pressaTD
Also, the merch store is open again! If you missed a previous piece of Backlogs merch, don't worry - they're here for a not-limited time only : www.bonfire.com/store/the-backlogs-merch/
I do ask did you ever use the Wiis versions ability to rewind to prior days in Pikmin 1 to improve where you messed up in said days? Or did you just do a whole new run with newfound knowledge.
Btw if your wondering what those are at 34:37 that are dropping TONS of nectar and sprays those are Uja Dani or Swarm Mites they only appear in the Wishful Wilds on Day 31 and every 30 days after basically Day 31, 61, 91, and so on. You just so happened to arrive at Wishful Wilds on Day 31, its so rare in fact because of the very specific days you have to be at the Wishful Wilds to get them and take advantage of them many don't even know they exist.
And if you exit and re-enter a cave they respawn them in other words those days are also essentially a prime time to grind out sprays here.
I love this so much.
If I ever start a youtube channel, can you have a fight with me? XD
I found press A and you separately. Fun to see both sides of a buddy rivalry. Makes good content.
Aeezezzzzz zez zez zaan zee zzz zzzez Heart of de de la nie Heart of the the world world is is is is is is is a beautiful beautiful woman and I love love love love you you are my best best best friend friend friend and friend friend friend my best best best
Lemon, I was baptized in the fires of Pikmin 2’s VS mode. Every night before I did my homework my mom would make me play until I beat her. It would go on for hours, sometimes days. I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into.
It begins
r.i.p Lemon
Challenge Accepted
@@ratbagissnooping511 The dark origin of Melon 🍉 💀
Fact check? We need your mom to corroborate your story.
Imagining the Pikmin acting like Space Marines makes them incredibly entertaining. The first time we see them again i like to imagine theyre purging the wildlife will shouting "For the Emporer!" At the top of their lungs, thats what the little "woo" sounds are.
WAAAAAGH!
It's actually like tht lol, if u realize everything can kill u, it is war so ur spot on, to war with ur plants my friend , see u planetside❤❤
SHOW ME YOUR WAR FACE
woooo
PIKMARINES!
..they are more orky. so no. WAAAAGH
The Doomsday Apparatus is such a troll item. The 1,000 weight combined with the 1kg text implies that each pikmin can comfortably carry one gram with purples able to carry ten grams. However, the Nutrient Silo has roughly 340 grams of deliciousness inside the container and only takes 15 pikmin to carry, so roughly 22.6 grams per typical pikmin. It's almost like Nintendo is laughing at us for wanting to quantify pikmin power levels!
Perhaps clearly the container itself has negative weight
Let me try something more random: what if, each ball weighs 1 kg, so the whole dumbell weighs around 2250 grs.? It's either that or, as you say, it's just a way of poking fun at the players for overthinking, in a soft way, about the game's lore.
@@marcoslavinfernandez6869 then each pikmin can carry 2.25 grams, still not even a tenth of the 22.6 grams they'd need for the Nutrient Silo.
The Pikmin 1 section once again proves. It always seems impossible until it is done. Congratulations Lemon.
32:54 The most horrifying creature in Pikmin 2 is the Man-at-Legs, a relative of the Beady Long Legs. For unknown reasons, advanced machinery seeks these gentle creatures out and forcibly fuses with them. The machinery then uses heat from the spider's vital organs to power itself and slowly takes control over the spider until the host loses all control.
This is not conjecture, this was originally suggested by Olimar's in-game notes on the creature in the Pikoledia and later confirmed by Nintendo on Pikmin Garden.
E for Everyone, folks.
Also, if Lemon sees this, the Wii Remote issue is due to your distance from the sensor. The remotes use infrared light to detect the remotes position. Too close and the light comes in too big/sluggish. Too far away and it comes in too small/jittery. I believe the proper distance is 5 feet away from the sensor.
reminds me of something i read on an old book:
with the old Nintendo "light guns", the Brightness setting on your TV is important.
too dark and you can't hit anything, too bright and any shot counts as a hit.
@@ericb3157That makes sense, now that I know how those light guns work.
Not sure if it was mentioned yet but at 34:36, you encountered a rare enemy known as Ujadani. They are tiny creatures that release nectar and spray upon death. They only appear in the Wistful Wild on day 31 then will appear every 30 days after
God those things are weird. They don't even have a piklopedia entry, so all you get on their existence is their really unique in-game function and whatever crackpot theories people can come up with online. Hell, I think their name came from the name of their files, hence why it sounds very japanese.
i got them in my first playthrough and had no idea what they were until i looked them up. i got so lucky…
@@329link the name comes from an e-Reader card, released only in Japan, the internal name is ujamushi (mushi [虫] = insect, dani [壁蝨] = mite)
They can technically spawn on day 1
Day 33*
25:04
Even though you're not playing XCOM you're still experiencing XCOM woes.
Hearing Helldivers 2 music while Pikmin dived into the final dungeon was something I never expected
Getting treasure for DEMOCRACY
I love that the challenge running community is so incredibly supportive, always highlighting and working together to overcome regardless of channel size or experience. Genuinely the most positive community I've ever come across
7:24 ....they're the best member, of the Pik. min. crew !
I like how, with the 3 Yellow-only Pikmin 1 challenge videos between you and Press A, you guys ended up with all 3 endings: the bad ending (since you failed your first attempt), the normal ending (since Press A got 29 out of 30 treasures), and the 100%-complete ending (in this video).
Always happy to see a Pikmin video. Chunky artillery.
Coffee is necessary for such ordeals
You have no idea haha
Thanks Gibz!
Nice challenge dude! Btw you could access Hole of Heroes on Wistful wild the same way you climbed the ledge leading to the Snagret hole, by using a chrysanthemum to bump you
...well shoot.
Lemon really saw that message and said "challenge accepted!"
Idk if anyone mentioned this yet, but if you spam purple pikmin onto an emperor bulblax while it is spawning, you can kill it comically fast
"PressA" provoking him is revenge for him making us all cry
Beautiful video, the game is a masterpiece and the videi itself was fun, but seeing the "Satoru Iwata" at 40:12 with that sweet music is heartbreaking, I miss that man to this day, thanks again for having people to see more of his gems, thank you Lemon 🍋💞❤
Theres a game called Overlord, that plays quite a bit like Pikmin but not quite,
and i think its pretty fun
not sure what challenge runs you could do, perhaps a magic only run or something but, yeah
give it a look!
Noo dont beat the seals up :(
@@everythingsalright1121sorry not sorry I need lifeforce
A Sahel anthropus skull.
Well, now we know why the Skull of Calderón is hanging out with Dictor van Doomcock.
A fresh backlogs video has the same comfort level as some good Southern Soul food with none of the regret.
when i saw Press A's video showing how to get the part "confused" and just come back next day i audibly groaned for lemon's sake, since he already got most if not all of the parts in that position already and didnt know to go back again lol
not gunna lie, waking up and seeing a new backlogs video is a true treat. the best way to start a day.
Had you recommended to me randomly a couple months ago, and since then have been addicted to watching these challenge runs you do! Keep it up, love the quality entertainment you've been providing us 👌
Having recently watched MatPat's final game theory video, it's so heartwarming to see what he said in action. You and PressA! are going further by collaborating instead of fighting to diminish the other. Incredible sense of community, and incredible video!!
"Easy game for babies."
That is literally what the Pikmin series is, not gonna lie
Welllllll not really, if ur trying to avoid killing any it becomes balls hard trying to clear each dungeon with all 100 , I've tried, it takes actually planning loll but on the flip side u are also correct 🎉🎉🎉
Bait used to be believable....
@@EATZYOWAFFLEZ Its hardly even bait, look at the name and pfp. its a comment bot.
The firebomb academy grows each passing day
Purple Pikmin winning like John Wickman
burple bikmin 🤤
New Lemon? And it's Pikmin again?! Heck yeah!!
18:17 The dog in the Time Capsule is actually a Shetland Sheepdog! I don't think it's a picture of one of the developers dogs directly, because it's actually a cat in the Japanese version, but the Pikmin wiki states it could have been changed as a reference to a dog Shigeru Miyamoto had in 2001 named Pikku, which sounds similar to Pikmin.
This was such a great video, I watched both of you before the yellow pikmin runs and these two follow ups were better than I was even expecting! Congrats on getting all 30, you and Ty spent so long to make it come true!!
Can’t wait for the versus match between you and PressA, I’d definitely love a coop challenge run of you two.
Whether it be something like gears of war, borderlands or as outlandish as Skyrim multiplayer
Im loving the pikmin series so much! And the rivalry is a great cherry on top
Purple is clearly the superior color after all
It is the color of royalty after all.
Fantastic news about the Time Capsule! As per the Pikmin wiki:
"The dog, named "Gon-chan", belongs to an unnamed graphic designer for Pikmin 2. In the Japanese version, the Time Capsule instead contains a picture of Wataru Yamaguchi's cat, "Chi-chan"."
I've never played Pikmin 2 (but I'm perfectly fine with spoilers) so I'm still laughing about the fact that the ship called Louie
"King of Bugs"
34:50 Does lemon perhaps go with a nice cup of liber-tea?
Quick note regarding crushing small enemies as mentioned early in the pikmin 2 section.
That is not a feature exclusive to purple pikmin, you can 'crush' crushable enemies just fine with any pikmin type so long as you hit them right, it's just easier with purple pikmin since they have a bit of homing to their ground pound attack.
11:53 I'm glad they changed the sound to a more gentle beep in 4. Considering the challenges in that game, having a gauge with the original sound would turn them into nightmares.
I love how he starts with beating press A's pikmin 1 run. Getting the final part just to stick it to him a little. Friendly rivalry is great!
I found you because of press a,I've been watching him for years and then these pikmin challenges started happening and I found you cause of him,I love both of you guys equally and I love the rivalry between the 2 of you,and I love these challenges you both do for pikmin,so instead of picking one side like everyone else,I'm on both,I make my own rules since I found you through him,but seriously,I hope you two became pretty good friends despite the rivalry,we all know rivalry is just for fun on youtube
I found both your channels recently through my yt algorithm giving me pikmin contents, and this totally-real-definitely-not-fake rivalry you both have has made for a series of very fun watches. Hope to see more collabs between you two in the future :)
the most dangerous thing you can do is give Lemon unlimited time
Like i said on PressA!'s Video:
I really love this cooperation of you two.
I found the PressA! Channel due to the algorithm working for once. I got the video in my recommended after watching your yellows only run. and let me tell you I clicked it instantly.
Seeing how the run could have ended for you...
Well let me tell you PressA! Had a new sub after the end if the vid.
Thanks for the video and the battle in Pikmin 2!
This video and PressA's has inspired me to do my own run of this. Given their speed, ability to tackle things neither of you could, and getting completely buried treasures, Im going to see how much of the game is beatable with WHITE pikmin. Ill post an update when ive gotten everything I feasibly can
Yayy! Emdentured servetude of the indigenous population!
thanks for making the video Lemon. Pikman was something that I hadn't expected to see but was a pleasant experience to watch.
I like that you used the shopping music from ultra kill in the end it’s really nice!
And the challenge run is very enjoyable and good job on that too mr. Lemon
Love your content, Lemon. It's always such a mood booster
I love your channel, your videos have become some of my comfort videos I enjoy to come back to time and time again
Ah yes, a prim & proper Pikmin 2 playthrough preoccupied with those pernicious & precocious Purple Pikmin people, provoked by that presumptuous, playful Press A's previous presentation of their positively prime permutation of the past Pikmin playthrough, pointedly not pertaining to these peculiar periwinkle plant personas
A particularly precarious path awaits our passionate prerecorded protagonist, Perhaps?
I'm always pleased to see a new Backlogs drop!
Random but love the Ultrakill music used! Wasn't expecting to hear it!
Great video as well, looking forward to the vs match!
34:36; a hidden “boss” which the more of the little guys you kill the more nectar, purple and red spicy spray you get, oh, and every time a Pikmin kills one, they are poisoned lol. It only happens every 30 days, achievable on 31 and every so forth.
I love this friendly competition you got going with pressa and I'm so happy that you're doing Pikmin challenges! Pikmin 2 still holds a special place in my heart and seeing you do challenge runs with it is awesome:)
Lemon: "He's in the walls....HE'S IN THE GODAMN WALLS!!!"
15:05
"Oh no! Anyway..."
28:00 - The submerged castle will only let blue pikmin enter it, but there are actually Purple candypop buds in the cave!
If you were to pull some more out-of-bounds shenanigans to unlock the blue onion, you could go in there with 10 blues, skip to the last floor where the purple flowers are, and defeat the boss for 1 more treasure.
I caught a few minutes of the stream a while ago, and I've been excited ever since!
BRO I SWEAR CULT OF THE LAMB MUSIC IS EVERYWHERE AND I LOVE IT
Another excellent video! Thanks for all the hours of entertainment. The subnautica music near the end got me thinking about challenge ideas for that game. Which is a great excuse to dive back into the waters of 4546b. Before that though gonna go watch press a’s video see how he tackled the challenge.
Watching lemon work out some of the puzzles on stream was great
I love the little pre-run blurbs you have.
Afraid of the empress? Don't worry I was terrified of the emperor's beady eyestalks when it was in the ground. That and the puffstool
I fucking love Lemons videos, thank you for producing such sultry voicing and gaming
You make every game you play seem so fun and interesting, thanks for a good time
Fun Fact: Ultra Spicy Sprays actually make Purple Pikmin WEAKER! How the Spicy Spray works is that it doesn't just add +X damage, but sets all Pikmin's damage to a certain amount which just so happens to be less than Purple Pikmins' attack power. Also, sprayed Pikmin will for some reason die twice as fast from drowning, burning, and poisoning. Spray also only makes all effected Pikmin carry at the speed they would if they are flowers.
So all in all, Spicy Sprays do either nothing, or are an active detriment to Purple Pikmin in EVERYTHING except movement speed for 40 seconds.
Maybe the animation that plays when Pikmin are being hurt by hazards only kills them once the animation finishes. so when the spicy spray speeds up the animation, the Pikmin die quicker
Well, purple pikmin aren't weaker, they are a little bit stronger. Purple pikmin deal 20 damage, and sprays sets it to 10, but animation speed (aka attack speed) is doubled
Only part-way through, but I hope Lemon knows that you don't actually need Pikmin physically near you to bring them into a cave. Aside from, uh, that one cave, if they're technically in your squad when you interact with the entrance, they can come with you.
Worth noting that the trick to open the Valley of Repose gate on Day 1 also requires you to do a different exploit, which is so difficult that only one person is known to be able to do it.
Also that there's a mum bump to reach the Hole of Heroes.
2 content creators basically doubling the amount of content they can make by challenging each other is great for all involved. I get more videos to watch, and both of you get ad revenue
Subbed!
Let there be more pikmin rivalry videos!!
Oh Ultrakill music
Fun fact, small bulborbs can be instantly squashed by multiple kinds of Pikmin, not just purple ones. I know because I've one-shot many bulborbs without purple Pikmin.
Along time follower and saw his video first randomly while watching challenge runs and saw he was challenging you absolutely love the collab
looking forward to the next one of these :D
Woooooo! It’s a backlogs day! Immediately 11/10
The Helldivers 2 theme activated me like a sleeper agent. For democracy!
The most legendary rivalry in pikmin history continues 🔥 I'm excited to see how the firebombs will treat you in this vid!
going through a miserable time rn and 29:40 made me smile for the first time today, thanks lemon
I was so happy to see you get all 30 parts in Pikmin 1, AND have a fun time with purples in Pikmin 2! What a two-for-one combo deal!
Man I wish the pikmin 1 revisit was its own video.
Also great job with the purples, I watched the livestream before and it felt a bit worse back then.
I love your videos, i waited for something like 2 weeks.
"but my Pikmin will still have to travel through vents to carry it back to the ship."
Sounds pretty sus.
I do appreciate the Helldivers 2 OST at the end there Lemon, caught me by surprise, I thought my game was still open
Lemon has the most wholesome rivalry lol.
Proud of you for going back and completing the pikmin 1 challenge.
Two tiny nitpicks that bugged me a lot more than they should have: One, you said that "you might have noticed that the treasures moved" when the treasures did not, in fact, move at all. The Emergence Cave is the only cave that is not randomly generated. Second, you said that there was a completely buried treasure inside of the Hole of Beasts, which is impossible. Buried treasures are not introduced until you reach the White Flower Garden. You just straight up missed a treasure, quietly went back to collect it later, and hoped that nobody would notice lol. (It was the Game & Watch machine at 28:08.)
It's no big deal, though. The actual run itself was flawless and the tiny mistakes you made in your commentary don't really matter because they ultimately did a good job of explaining the game's mechanics, even if they were explained a tiny bit earlier than they were actually introduced. Great video!
I remember discovering the whistle trick for pikmin in water when I was a kid, but I stopped it before long because "I didn't want them to suffer."
wonderful video, I would love to see you destroy Rage using only the base rewolver or spike gloves or maybe the wingsticks ? that would be an interesting run, I love that game and can't wiat for you to eventually (probably not that soon) to get your hands on it
Brilliant Video. And I am so looking forward to potential future collab with/against Press A to really figure out the winner.
But speaking of running challenges through a series of games. Any news on the Dark Souls Reaper run?
that reference at 7:24 did not go unnoticed
Its always a good day when backlogs uploads
On day 31, the reason why you got so much nectar and sprays was from Ujadani, which only spawn every 30 days, starting day 31!
this was great. you guys should do it again for pikimin 3(if it's possible, idk, never played any of them). but get more people so each gets 1 color of pikmin.
I introduced Press A! to someone just an hour ago. I wasn't expecting to hear about him so soon.
wholesome rivalries for the win! I found press A after lemons first Pikmin video so this is a beautiful outcome.
A DK64 AND Futurama reference in one video? Lemon you spoil us!
its awesome you went back to complete instead of just leaving it to pressA!
Watching you do challenges on old Nintendo games is such a weird comfort food of mine, but it is comfort food nonetheless. Thank you for making a continuation of your first Pikmin video, you're a really enjoyable content creator to watch.
8:56 this dumb joke made me laugh way harder then it should have.
