The rules for this speedrun are to only have 85 sprouted pikmin ever, even if one dies you can't regrow.
The Japanese version of the original release required a minimum of 85 pikmin to complete because the Secret Safe weighs 85 pikmin. In other regions, it weighs 40 and the heaviest part is Gluon Drive at 50, hence why there exist 2 low-pikmin runs; 50 pikmin and 85 pikmin.
The Switch version doesn't have an 85 weight SS, even on JP. This run is performed simply because the concept for it exists, and it's a fun challenge to get a 7 day RTA Single Segment.
I don't think I'll go for a 6 day run. I think I could do it eventually, but it hardly seems worth it when this category is a bit silly anyway. This was my first run to complete a 7 day, my original estimate was sub 1 but this was sub 58, so I'm pretty happy to leave it there.
Only a couple more things to do on Switch before I move on to something else!
