When you've refined the Distant Spring so much that having to collect a bunch of corpses first still lets you finish barely before first sundown warning.
I think my mind may have been blown about 10 separate times during this video. The absolute brilliant plan of raising a bunch of pikmin using the dumple & prog combo? Unreal. Just flawless. I mean, damn, you even used bombs to BOTH blow up the wall and kill that bulbear! I know multiple people have already asked this, but I also would love to understand the water dumple trick, which is the only mechanic I hadn’t seen before. My guess is it’s only possible in TAS, right?
To think at one time in this game's history, people thought you couldn't complete an area in a day. Now we've beaten all 3 main areas in 1 day each, without using Onions. Crazy.
I've never seen that Water Dumple glitch before! If I had to guess how it works, because the Smoky Progg ignores all things to head straight for the onion, when the Water Dumple is done chasing you and wants to go back to its default area, somehow it thinks its default area is the same as the Progg's i.e. the Onion.
That was... incredible. Launching all the Dumples toward base (Except one, to use to ledgeclip later), abusing the Smoky Progg to uproot all the Pikimin while they were still burgeoning, teaching a Yellow how to swim to move the Gluon Drive, and still taking the time to return the blue count to 0.
When I saw the title of this vldeo, I couldn't understand what it's meanig. But after watching, I finaly got it. No way, you used "Pull out megaphone". Finaly, l'm sorry for my unskilled English. I'm rooting for you.
@@Nic_2751 It an argo range issue. I don't understand it in technical terms but in simple terms its being on the edge of it's agro range for whatever reason it bugs out and just slide infinity while trying to return to it's home position.
I think he took the meaning of onionless very seriously, if all the Pikmin are buried they don't die at sunset and Olimar doesn't put them in the onion during the end of day cutscene. That way is as onionless as possible and 0 deaths
Normally if Pikmin are left out on the field after sunset, they die instantly. However, buried Pikmin will not be affected by sunset, meaning if you use Candypop Buds at the end of a day the sprouts will remain when you return.
