I upload occasional spurts of glitch/challenge videos for Pikmin 2. I sometimes branch out into Pikmin 1 and 3D Mario games.

Creating an "Impossible" Pikmin Save File
I quickly put this video together in response to this video by Press A: ua-cam.com/video/fpnCAntXy8o/v-deo.html
This video was made possible by the discovery of day 1 extinction by TRR010: ua-cam.com/video/Tjw4LSKJobg/v-deo.html
I didn't record days 1-7, but my day 1 basically matched the above video, I grew more reds on days 2-3, and I skipped days 4-7.
On day 8, first I get to the area with Positron Generator by laying down next to a pellet and clipping OoB. Then, I throw just under 100 reds into the arena with the Mamuta. However, I can't simply C-Stick the reds to the Mamuta, since they won't attack the Mamuta, and the Mamuta won't attack them until it's attacked. To get reds to attack the Mamuta, I need to get on the other side of it. The only way I can do this is by warping to the Main Engine by approaching the Positron Generator, so this is exactly what I do, once I free it from the clam. I had the reds in the arena attacking the stone wall, and they follow me once they give up attacking it. Finally, I can dismiss the reds close to the Mamuta, and they'll attack each other. I whistle as many reds as I can during this process to keep the Mamuta from dying. At last, I have over 91 reds buried in the arena.
Now, this save file is stuck in Impact Site from day 9 onward. Olimar only has access to 9 or less reds, so the intended way to the sprouts is permanently blocked by the cardboard box. The back way is also blocked by the stone wall, and invisible walls block Olimar from getting to the arena from OoB. Since both parts weigh 20, it's impossible to carry either of them to the ship, so the 1 part requirement to reach Forest of Hope is impossible to meet.
P.S. I also tried to bury pikmin in inaccessible locations in Final Trial by using bomb rocks on flower pikmin in those locations (each flower that dies has a ~20% chance of being replaced with a sprout the next day), but I couldn't get this to work.

Pikmin 2 Glitch: Where's Your Pellet, Posy?

The user PikHacker recently made me aware of certain object caps in Pikmin 2. He found one of these caps at memory address 0x801f9674: 48 pellets.

This required specific conditions to test. Only Valley of Repose and Awakening ...

There are a lot of misconceptions about the theoretical 5-day completion.

Trying to think of something witty but I can't. Nice vid. Gottem.

nice 👍🏻
nice indeed :)
grassdigger is back!
Grassdigger?? That’s a name that hasn’t been uttered in centuries……
Inspired by press A?
For finding an impossible save file, yea.
GRASSSDIGGERR!!!!!
OH GRASSDIGGER, I thought you killed yourself in the especial 500 subs video XD, fine to see your come back, I didn't know you can go to the part of water without breaking the wall...
Yep, here's an example of TRR doing it to collect the Positron Generator with only reds: ua-cam.com/video/cB2E8pCVqco/v-deo.html
@@grassdigger8695 Aaah, nice tip haha
This showed up literally as I was watching the parent video. I hope Press A gets to see and signal boost this.
Oh there's invisible walls preventing Olimar from just glitching in? Nice find
Yea, around the OoB sections by the box in particular.
Babe, wake up, new Grassdigger video! (... I don't care if it's 2 in the morning, we're watching this now)
Now this is satisfying.
It’s been a hot minute. Glad to see one of these after all this time- always happy to learn new wacky Pikmin tech. Hope life’s treating you well.
Thank you for making a new video after so long..
That notification caught me off guard
Interesting! Always nice to see more Impossible Save Files and the like. And a GrassDigger video after so long too! I'm not holding my breathe, but I'm hoping for a slow comeback if you have the time and such! I've been out of the loop though - what's with File 2 being on Day 04 as opposed to Day 4 like File 3? Hopefully a glitch that lets you pass Day 30 (even if the numbers skip Days 31-99 and instantly go to Glitch Numbers)? I should look into some glitching myself actually, I've been playing on the Switch version lately for an ASAP Run. Missed the series a lot over the past 4 years (for...other reasons).
I thought someone might notice that day 04, lol. I accidentally corrupted that save file on my Dolphin, and even after erasing it, or copying over it, I couldn't make it go away.
@@grassdigger8695 Ahh, how strange! That's a pity then that it isn't a "proper" glitch of sorts.
@@MinkeyTheFiftyFirst Yea, not possible without loading save states I don't think.
@@grassdigger8695 I think that's a sign of a bad memory card/corruption to the card itself.
This video's a bit of a one-off, I have higher priorities at this point of my life, but I wanted to throw a quick video together in response to another video on this topic. I hope you enjoy it! UPDATE: TRR informed me that you can clip through the stone wall with a pellet, so this isn't truly impossible. However, I may have another approach that would work, but I'm not sure if or when I can look into it further.
Holy cow new vid I clicked right away
New grassdigger video!!!!
Seeing the speedup again... I don't know if 7 years is too soon to call it nostalgic (I think it's fine myself, although maybe I have a soft spot for nostalgia), but it's just really nice to see in that sort of sense.
Yea, honestly my editing skills are probably just as good now as they were then, lol. You don't see speedups too often in challenge videos today. At the time, these videos were more of a "proof" that I beat the game without pressing A, I wasn't going for style points.
@@grassdigger8695 Oh yeah, I do appreciate that side of things too (showing proof of concept, even though you probably could've gotten away with pressing not-A in subsequent visits...except I guess in really specific areas where it might've been interesting to see A-only - although I guess it's better to 100% go A-only anyway as it keeps you in the habit of not pressing the other buttons). I just like the speedup for how the in-game music sounds during it (plus I think it works better than skipping it as sometimes there's the case of what exactly did you do down there, although I guess a mini-montage of "did this, did that, did etc." would've worked fine too, but that would've not been as musical).
@@MinkeyTheFiftyFirst I see what you mean, there's something fun about hearing music and sound effects that you're familiar with at different speeds.
Rewatching these after so long (...I forget if I even knew of your account back in late 2017...but wow has it been a decent chunk of time, a lot has changed for even just me since then), and that Empress Bulblax fight at 39:50 was great - had me almost choking on my sandwich!
I know, this challenge feels like it was so long ago, but it was easily my favorite playthrough of the game! Lots of unique challenges came up, especially with killing bosses, Titan Dweevil in particular. It was the first time since I was a kid that the bosses felt like an actual challenge.
@@grassdigger8695 It really does. That's why I love these kinds of challenges so much. I did a Swordless playthrough of Zelda OoT about a year prior, and that was a whole lot of fun for me as well!
UPDATE: This save file is no longer truly "impossible" because it was later found that the underwater wall can be destroyed without blue piks. This allows the player to get to Frontier Cavern and obtain purples from there. Still, it's funny to imagine a save file where such a time-consuming awful glitch is required for progression.
I was wondering what would happen if a pikmin extinction occurs during a cutscene?
The extinction cutscene would play right after the cutscene being played. If you're asking if it would work with the breadbug glitch in the video, I'm not sure, you're booted out of the cave after the extinction cutscene so you couldn't tell.
I'm also wondering if White pikmin is eaten for first time during cutscene is playing what would happen there?
@@deathblowringo4168 same thing, the cutscene tied to the white being eaten would play right after the current cutscene
Thanks for the telling me those cutscene interactions, I know cutscenes in Pikmin 2 are weird than you think.
@@deathblowringo4168 no problem! There's certainly a lot of oddities with cutscenes in this game.
0:21 thanks for showing me the bug when i was a kid, it's so nostalgia ❤
Louie activities
Nice video man!
Dont strech the game out
Goated
I know pikmin 1 is very different than this game, but what happens if you try to hack the day counter to go above 30? does it just force you to watch the ending cutscene?
Hmm good question, I'm not sure.
The game functions normally, but if you end the day, you will get the ending cutscene. If you switch the day counter when the day is ending, after Olimar gets in the S.S. Dolphin, the ending will play right after
Olimar and Louie spend 11.7 million years on PNF-404 The player spends 106,000 years playing pikmin 2 (aka literally hell)
how it feels eating anything in a dream
The game loses it "ERRRRRRR"
Funny how the music keeps going then randomly ERRRR
It's always good to get that audio confirmation that something is indeed wrong with the game.
This is underated.
will you make pikmin 4 videos?
Not sure yet, my schedule this summer doesn't have much wiggle room for games at the moment.
based
... is this even usefull?
Nope :)
Ujadani my beloved
Weird that they included the unlock condition on top of the 20 for the whites but NOT the purples…
Right? I don't understand why they would program them differently. It's not like it could have come up in testing, there's no way to progress beyond White Flower Garden glitchless without whites.
I know this challenge is long over and you might have found a way to not unlock purples by now, but if not, you could just ban the use of purples in combat, only allowing them for the 3 treasures that absolutely require them.
That's fair, but a lot of boss KO's require the strategic use of purples, for instance, I don't think you could defeat Raging Long Legs deathless without throwing as many purples as you can on it at the right time. The challenge was already hard enough even with purples :)
Hey, did you hear? Pikmin 1 and 2 are out on Switch now! Pikmin 4's only about a month away too
Indeed! I'm not sure if I'll get them on Switch or not, there's always the possibility of some new glitch being introduced, and maybe I can capture gameplay better on it.
@@grassdigger8695 Seems like they left the more "visual quirk"-type glitches alone (I posted a video of the silent whistle and the flower Pikmin seed glitches) but I have heard that they patched some other glitches? I can't back that up though it was just a non-specific "They patched some glitches so it's slower to speedrun than GCN/NPC!" Also, you can switch between GameCube and Wii controls in the Switch ports which is very nice (The ports themselves seem to be based off of the PAL Wii versions running at PAL60 however)
@@ToaderTheToad Interesting, yea I saw somewhere that you can't do cutscene skips when you collect parts in Pikmin 1, but I'm not sure what else.
@@grassdigger8695 Update, I actually found out that at least Pikmin 2 is based on the NPC! North American release (Meaning NA treasure placements are used) Despite this, the game still calls wollywogs wollyhops like in the European NPC! games
8:54 isnt there a similar quick-kill strat where you just swarm all your pikmin into the "crevice" where the empress bulblax curls up?
I believe that's what they do in speedruns, yea. The timing is very tight though, if I recall, the Empress Bulblax will often shake off the Pikmin before they finish.
How do you feel knowing this has been achieved?
It's pretty neat that it turned out to be pretty close to the template presented in this video! I just couldn't foresee how annoying getting up the ledge with the bulborb would end up being, lol. That's why I never went for a 5 day completion of my own.
なるほど、すごく興味深いですね! 1日目を終えるには敵にやられる以外なく、洞窟に入るには事前にピクミンを地面に植めておく必要があるのか。
こんにちは!はい、1日目に洞窟に入りたい場合は、事前にピクミンを埋めておく必要があります。または、まだ入手できる場合は、黄ピクミン5匹または青ピクミン5匹を口笛で吹いてもいいです。 (このコメントはGoogle翻訳を使って英語から日本語に翻訳しました。)
Kinda crazy to think it’s been three years since you last uploaded. I can still recall just how excited I was when you released part two of the Low Piklopedia challenge. Your videos taught me so much odd and obscure game knowledge about Pikmin 2 and never failed to brighten my day. I hope you’re doing well! If you ever decide to come back, know you’ll always have a good few avid viewers in your corner.
I'm doing well! I'm glad my videos have been able to brighten your day, and I appreciate your kind comment. I've had a lot of other stuff going on in life, and I haven't made my channel a priority these last few years, but in the last few weeks I've made good progress on a new challenge that I want to upload at some point during the summer.
@@grassdigger8695 yay
I have a strange and irrational fear of things (mostly in video games) that *should* be small being gigantic and taking up the whole screen, for reasons I do not understand. And this glitch does a surprisingly good job at triggering this weird fear. That is... terrifying.
Does it help to think that the Pikmin are not growing larger but rather shrinking into a more negative size?
why's Louie in the hole of heroes what did you do
I must have had a cheat code active that let me go to any map.
would there be some way to do this but with making the speed slower using mamutas or nectar to give Pikmin flowers?
There's a way to do this in 2-Player Battle Mode by getting the cherry powerup that makes all your Pikmin flowers, then using it while Pikmin are carrying something. Next time they carry it as leaves, it'll be slower, and if you go negative, they end up going back and forth, if I recall, I don't know why.
WHAT?????
