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

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

@vitkosbence3705 4 ай бұрын

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 %.

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.

@@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).

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.

"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
