my way of praising this attempt "ROCK AND STONE BROTHA!" kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3tnppiwl8ethrQ.html

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

"Local nerd spend 6 days throwing rocks at invisible bat, kills it" is probably my highlight of the video

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 %.

It probably is impossible but cool idea

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

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

Wow really? That must take forever though lol

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.

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.

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

Now do bulbmin only

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.

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

You love choosing types of Pikmin

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 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

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.

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

Nintendo: you have the play game the way we want you too Press A!: Are you sure about that?

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!

absolutely quality as always, favourite channel atm :)

I love how you use chrono trigger music. So nostalgic, I love that game.

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. 😁

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

I really like your vids and been here for kind of a long time and i hope this series continues😊

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!

Dude this was really cool love Pikmin 3 and congrats on 21k i joined like 6 months ago

I love these videos! they are so cool to watch! I subbed a week ago and I really don't regret it!😊

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!

I found your channel thru the backlogs. I’ve been binging videos ever since

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

It's awful of Nintendo to use invisible walls like this.

I just want to let you know I’ve arrived to your videos and subbed from The Backlogs

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

​​@@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).

I'm very glad you didn't feel like you had to buy the switch version, good call!

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.

"Invisible Walls" We are once again reminded that Nintendo hates fun. That or progressing without certain onion types breaks everything, idk.

I thought I was subbed already but turns out I wasn't! Good thing you mentioned it ❤

Its sad that exist the invisible walls, but GGs, good run!

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

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.

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

"Pikmin 3 has 5 types of pikimin" This is challenge Mode erasure and I'll not stand for it. (For real though, great video)

Nice run. Did you try ultra spicy spray for the hornet maestro at all? (also DougDoug wants his spotify back)

Very impressive! I think you can kill the first boss without Rock Pikmin when you use Bombrocks

Dude, is this your first time? Hell, I’m gonna try this myself

It’s amazing how limiting pikmin 3 is, it feels like an entirely different game to me.

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.)

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".

*Eighty* bucks? Well, I guess I found the Australian. Or the Canadian. Could be either, really.

That rock pikmin in the thumbnail is cursed af haha

"and I finally got my shot' And bro just missed

Press A: *Sees wild pikmin game* *THROWS BARRAGE OF ROCKS UNTIL GAME IS BEATEN*

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.😞

"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

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

Rock pikmin are my favourite pikmin, so it's awesome to see a KZreadr do a rock Pikmin only challenge

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?

Remember to like and sub, this guy deserves it

Idea for the Miestro from my Pikmin: When u get on the Mushroom, Throw another captain there to get to the other mushroom

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

The boulder is pleased with this video

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.

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?

"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 😂

Short answer: NOPE Long answer: Technically, NOPE As much as I understand wanting to keep players from cheesing, invisible walls? Really, Nintendo? T_T

funny thumbnail make me do big laugh haha

I used to see Pikmin 3 as the worst, but honestly after playing it a second and third time on switch it is my new favourite.

Damn, someone on the dev team REALLY hates low% runs.

short answer: you can do it with just rock pikmin if you also use winged and red and yellow pikmin.

I bet enemies will be his biggest obstacle with rock pikmin (clearly)

"A captain" bruh, charlie is the only captain. Brittany and Alph aren't captains.

Beating Pikmin 3 with only Winged Pikmin would just be playing the game normally :)
