The reason you can't walk up the wall in the distant tundra is because in the switch version you move slightly faster! There's actually another way to get OoB in Distant Tundra without yellows using a Swooping Snitchbug, which you could've used to avoid using yellows entirely. edit: i should've watched the rest of it lmaooooo
Sadly my Wii U broke so I can play pikmin 3 anymore I have all the other games HEY PIKMIN DOES NOT COUNT but u plan to try and get it soon on my switch
as someone who's favourite pikmin type is winged pikmin, it's weirdly pleasing getting to learn how required they make themselves by holding progress hostage with invisible barriers
Whether in pikmin 2 or 4 I would really like to see a only white pikmin run. Mainly due to white pikmin being overshadowed by all the other pikmin types in the games that’s story modes feature them, imo. It’ll be cool to see the poisonous speedy digger bois get used to their fullest potential. Without having to share the limelight
I mean if you look at the challenge runs Press A and Lemon did for 2 you can see that a white only run is not only impossible, but also not very interesting. Purples only has the fact that it actually only needs purples to pay off the debt and get the good ending (beyond the tutorial) going for it, while blue only needs to use purples 2x but gets to a waaay higher clear %. Both skip pretty much every instance of anything that requires whites, except a few treasures every dungeon. Whites only would still require purples, but also have the lower clear %.
3:34 It is possible to defeat the mawdad without pikmin by slapping it with one of the captains. That being said, rocks are still needed for the crystal walls earlier in the Garden of Hope
4:34 Fruits are necessary once for progression, not just to keep your characters fed. The path to the Blue Onion will only open if you have at least one bottle of juice at the beginning of a day. There’s even some dialogue that hints at such. Plus, the Scornet Maestro drops the Seed Hive which grants 2.5 bottles by itself, or 1.25 on the Deluxe version’s Ultra-Spicy version. Considering how rare of an occurrence that would be, that’s some impressive attention to detail.
For me it's Pikmin 2 cause of how many bosses there are and all the different looks and themes for the bosses (I modded my game a bit to have custom music for every boss since I don't like the default on to much)
@@itsmrfoxy7364yeah I wish that the bosses had a variant of the theme like the American long legs has more metal or the emperors have horns to go with their royal status.
I don't comment a ton, but you have some of the best content i have seen in a bit. You and lemon are great and the pikmin 2 challenge was great. Keep up the great work.
I can't believe Nintendo was so dang aggressive on trying making sure you solve everything only the way they want that they walled off parts of levels with invisible barriers so many times
You are finally being discovered and its amazing i only discovered you 2 weeks before your friendly challenge with lemon (backlogs guy) and i love your videos i have probably watched everything
Heres a fun fact about me, back when Pikmin 3 first came out, I was 5 years old. The final boss made my red, yellow, winged and blue pikmin extinct so I beat the final boss with 42 rock pikmin. Best moment ive had with this game
I gotta say, yall been putting in work on this channel. Frequent, quality uploads and they're all crazy challenge runs. Keep it up, you guys are the next BIG youtube gaming channel
These videos are so good, I'm so excited whenever there's a new upload! Love the theory crafting with glitches and exploits you have to plan out. Super fun, it's like solving a puzzle.
I really enjoy the detailed explanations you offer in these videos, and im curious and excited to see even more in future challenge runs and even other game series you run.
I found you via the Backlogs video and really enjoy your content! Pikmin has been one of my favourite franchises since I played the first one on Game Cube back in the day and these challenge videos are amazing to watch!
For the Scornet Maestro, when using wii remote and nunchuk control type you can angle your pointer with the sensor bar, allowing you to turn a bit easier on some of the ledges at the edge of the arena without falling down. Hope this helps you get closer to finishing that fight.
Ima be honest as I kid I ALWAYS fought the phosbat like that looking back IM SO STUPID, I always lit up the cave after killing phosbat. I was always so confused on why it took so long.
Your videos are of such good quality and I've been seeing you on my feed for so long I didn't realize how few subscribers y'all have, happy to be here to support and watch!
Finally I found another human being who has the Wii U version instead of the Switch version! I can’t stand the controls on the Switch version. Wii remote all the way
Contents great bro. I played Pikmin 1 and 2 on both releases but fell off from the franchise after that despite enjoying them. So all the Pikmin vids are fun to watch and catch up. 😁
I dont think I've ever actually subscribed when a content creator does a call for action, but today I actually did. Hit me like "huh I guess I'm not subbed to this guy yet." GREAT content my man!
Pikmin 4 is coming, it’s the one I’m least familiar with. So I have a lot of work to do before I can put together an interesting run. But I’m glad you enjoy the vids!
@@pressaTD I recall someone successfully doing a zero Pikmin, Oatchi only run in Pikmin 4. Spoilers on how: (But it'd still be interesting to see you attempt a restricted run! Playing semantics with the end of day stats which forget about Pikmin abandoned in the ground in caves makes it more interesting and less just waiting on a grind.) ... ... The two player Pebble Pitcher mode is kinda broken when you abuse it - for example, it's still active in survey drone mode if you unpause time, and can even break down walls, meaning you can fully clear any map of hazards before leaving base, at zero risk to yourself. The rest is just waiting on Oatchi to slowly drag things around, pitching pebbles at him to speed him up slightly (and avoiding the special strength upgrade which makes that minor speed up no longer functional).
Found you through the backlogs video for purple pikmin it was fun watching you 2 compete at yellow pikmin giving a sub because your hilarious glad he recommended you
Well done, keep going! Tips to improve the quality of the video: Try to reduce the amount of "and" in your skrip. Should make it not sound like you reading down a list. Increase the distance between you and the mic. Speak as loud as possible (do not peak out). Loudness can be editid. With that you should sound lifelier and clearer. Current quality of the mic is more than enough, but first investment should be a mic setup.
Fun fact: if you dismiss pikmin onto olimar they will all grab on during the cutscene so you don’t have to add on pikmin while being chased by the plasm wraith
Challenge: Pikmin 4 but you can never take recommended Pikmin out of the onion. They can be found or born, just never taken from the onion (this includes entering caves.)
Rock Pikmin are my go-tos for the Plasm Wraith fight considering it literally can't kill them unless you yourself throw them into the elemental areas it spits out.
i would LOVE to see you try to do a minimum *everything* all treasure, part, fruit, etc. run in any game. especially pikmin 4. there's some insane small skips
For the fourth boss(I forgot the name) it might be possible to throw the rock Pikmin from the first ledge if you use a wii remote, if it works then the boss might be possible with only rock Pikmin. I will test this then edit the comment later.
I miss playing pikmin 3 on the Wii U. I have it for the switch but something about the Wii U as a whole is just nostalgic. Which my game pad wasn’t broken.😞
Rocks are no substitute for purples, but rocks sacrifice their extra muscle for something no other type has, immunity to crushing. It's kind of disappointing they keep abandoning types and mechanics, but maybe 5th time's a charm?
I pretty sure I once saw that if you let your Rock Pikmin get taken by the Scornets then attack them the captured Rocks will hit the Scornet Maestro. But I couldn’t find the video.
"i wasnt going to spend money on another version of this game" is a reoccuring trend in these challenge videos amongst you and your rival(s?), there are a BUNCH of differences from level design to tweaked mechanics and so on between pikmin 3 and pikmin 3 deluxe, so many little things. "normal" mode is mostly easier, "hard" on deluxe is about the difficulty of pikmin 3 for wii u, but there are entirely new game modes and side stories where you play as olimar and louie in deluxe EDIT: i forgot to mention ultra-spicy difficulty, which limits the number of pikmin you can have on the field at a time as well as reducing the amount of juice fruit is worth
Hey, you managed to get through the entire game only using the new Pikmin 3 types as soon as they were available throughout the challenge. That’s got to count for something right?
If you are thinking of doing 4 next I recommend using winged or purple since they are most promising I can also confirm it is possible with red and blue
i think there's a way to get out of bounds slightly to the left of the entrance to brittany's cave at least on the switch version but it might also not work on the wii u i'm not sure
"and i do the only thing i can do at this point" cry? "try" oh, i guess that's also an option 😂🙃 for real though, i've been hunting for a max level brontosaurus in ark mobile for like 8 hours now and have not found a single one. i'm ready to cry 😂
I want to thank Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for his help on this video.
Try to fo Pikmin 2 but you only use the captains hands to attack
@Kirbmin Not possible there are several spider bosses he has to beat
@pressaTD Pikmin 2 100% but you can only use Mr. President Captain with Pikmin to beat it.
You just have to clear debt in the first cave on the second day then you can start the run
my way of praising this attempt
"ROCK AND STONE BROTHA!"

Thanks for shedding some light on that. I was genuinely curious why it wasn’t working. That’s what I get for playing on wii u though lol

@@pressaTD true
that silley
Why the hell did they make an easy game even easier on the switch
"Local nerd spend 6 days throwing rocks at invisible bat, kills it" is probably my highlight of the video

I guess Lemon will have to do flying pikman only if Pikman 3 wins the poll.

Wow really? That must take forever though lol

*Looks at Lemons run.*
Sure they are pal
Rock Pikmins face in the thumbnail made me die laughing
RIP in peace 😔
Pikmin 3’s boss fights are by far the most memorable of the entire pikmin series which is why its my favorite (haven’t played 4 yet)
Definitely agree with that
For me it's Pikmin 2 cause of how many bosses there are and all the different looks and themes for the bosses (I modded my game a bit to have custom music for every boss since I don't like the default on to much)

Subbed today after watching your pikmin 2 with only blues vid. Found you from Lemon's competing only Purples vid.

It’s amazing how limiting pikmin 3 is, it feels like an entirely different game to me.
I'm very glad you didn't feel like you had to buy the switch version, good call!
Rock Pikmin are my go-tos for the Plasm Wraith fight considering it literally can't kill them unless you yourself throw them into the elemental areas it spits out.
*Eighty* bucks? Well, I guess I found the Australian. Or the Canadian. Could be either, really.

I just want to let you know I’ve arrived to your videos and subbed from The Backlogs
The journey is always good, but it's funny how all of these "Can you beat ___ with only ___ Pikmin?" videos can be answered with "no, obviously not".
The boulder is pleased with this video
One day, pikmin 1 red only will come to existence
It’s coming, I need to prepare for the mental damage grinding that for hours will cause lol

That’s a good point. I never play with the wiimote so it completely skipped my mind. Let me know what you find out!
Its sad that exist the invisible walls, but GGs, good run!
Press A: *Sees wild pikmin game*
*THROWS BARRAGE OF ROCKS UNTIL GAME IS BEATEN*
"Pikmin 3 has 5 types of pikimin" This is challenge Mode erasure and I'll not stand for it. (For real though, great video)
I thought I was subbed already but turns out I wasn't! Good thing you mentioned it ❤
Nice run. Did you try ultra spicy spray for the hornet maestro at all?
(also DougDoug wants his spotify back)
I did, didn’t seem to make a difference unfortunately :(
Very impressive!
I think you can kill the first boss without Rock Pikmin when you use Bombrocks
I miss playing pikmin 3 on the Wii U. I have it for the switch but something about the Wii U as a whole is just nostalgic. Which my game pad wasn’t broken.😞
beating your enemies to death with rocks: the game
I remember watching my mom play pikmin 3 when I was little. I loved it but I was too scared of the monsters to play much myself lol
6:54 if you did special delivery in speedruns you can do it, and without getting the yellow onion you can use candypop buds, i love speedrunning :D
Invisible walls are not very dandori

hey whats this first song called? you use it often. I love your videos and would love for you to share the songlist each video!
It’s called the secret of the forest from the chrono trigger OST
this was uploaded on my birthday so thanks for the late birthday present
With how linear and segmented this game can be I'd imagine this will be a lot harder than the no whistle run lol
The rock pikmin with the mouth reminds me of chats tts avatar from failboats streams
If there's one thing I've learned from pokemon, it's that this should be the easiest solo pikmin run since bugs are weak to rocks.
funny thumbnail make me do big laugh haha
I bet enemies will be his biggest obstacle with rock pikmin (clearly)
"and i do the only thing i can do at this point" cry? "try" oh, i guess that's also an option 😂🙃

With the formidable oak, you could've gone in circles with brittany and done the trick with alph, then kill brittany, and the pikmin will follow alph!
"A captain" bruh, charlie is the only captain. Brittany and Alph aren't captains.
In my opinion… the thumbnail *in my head* for some reason had the face of Dwayne (THE ROCK) Johnson.
