If the tutorial is literally a "do specifically what I demand from you or I refuse to work completely" situation, I would say its fine to trigger the flags the game needs to not throw a hissy fit if you proved you could theoretically get around them, just like the rule for parts/treasures being allowed to be collected once you managed to push them into the ships beam
True, I felt the same way knowing how near iron clad Pikmin 2 is, but I like how Sample really went out of his way to never press that bag if he could avoid it. Reminds me of Ocarina of Time, namely ZFG's randomizer runs where even if an item is literally impossible to get due to logic (needing the mirror shield to shine light on a sun that reveals a chest that contains the mirror shield, which is required for Twinrova, as light arrows don't work on the sun marks IIRC in that game), he still finds a way to get to Ganon somehow. Not enough to just see the glitch on youtube, do it and them play the game like a casual, that shows dedication and mastery of the game's mechanics to prove it can be done non-TAS.
I highly disagree. He lost and its about time he just fully admits that when the challenge is a fail. There is nothing wrong with playing for the minimum amount but this video almost feels like an April fools joke with how many weirdly specific rules and loopholes he comes up with to make it seem like it was a success. I say this as a fan of the channel and not a hater I know I sound harsh though.
@@kayden2119 but thats boring, and you would already know the minimum amount, its the minimum amount to win, thats a very BORING conclusion, this is way more fun to watch then "how minimum can we use a full team of pikmin to beat pikmin 2?" ive already seen enough videos like that for other games, so im glad he isnt following that trend
@@ShokyoLeaf If you have to make up a whole ruleset to "win" maybe its not meant to be a challenge. Also it seems like cope to call it any more interesting than minimum Pikmin its practically the same challenge one is just way more convoluted.
13:18 In the case of Pikmin 2 that is actually wrong. While it is true that white Pikmin only do half damage in Pikmin 3 and 4, in Pikmin 2 they have the standard damage output just like yellow or blue Pikmin. They changed white Pikmins damage Output in 3 for some reason and People keep complaining about it, so it is an understandable mistake to make since no one really mentions their strength in 2.
5:46 If you're curious, the pikmin 2 decompilation project has already decompiled a significant amount of code, including the explanation for this. It sets one flag that the project dubbed DEMO_Reunite_Captains - and this is a flag that affects several places that can stop normal game behavior. I think you can get out of it by using any paper bag, but that defeats the purpose anyway.
Decompilation project? Is this similar to the one that happened awhile ago with Majora's Mask to make it playable on PC without an emulator, all while running near perfectly and having some QoL changes?
@@espurrseyes42 sort of. That is something you can do much more easily after decompiling a game, but the goal is essentially just to get the original code.
@@espurrseyes42 To add onto what the other comments were saying, the goal of a decompilation project is to essentially reverse engineer a game's source code. Once you have the source code you can understand everything the game is doing, why it's doing it, and modify it with full control over everything.
Normally i hate when people break rules right away in challeneges, but you go so far beyond to complete them that it barely matters and is extremely entertaining to watch either way
Yeah Sample is top tier when it comes to the quality of challenge videos. Going way above and beyond to make sure without a shadow of a doubt that every possibility was tried and tested before breaking a rule and making sure the spirit of the rule is followed as closely as possible. I really loved the visual of him getting the Spherical Atlas to the ship and seeing all the purples jump out the grab it. That looked so natural, I genuinely thought it was how pikmin worked for a hot minute. That's a testament to the quality of his work.
Maybe hot take idk but I think I would separate "breaking the rules right away" from "doing the game tutorial". Tutorials make challenges far more annoying to complete and in my PERSONAL opinion, a creator should not have to trip over themselves trying to figure out how to circumvent each individual game's tutorial when the whole point of the challenge was the meat of the gameplay It just makes it longer and always adds that "aww it's impossible" moment of the video that I've seen so many of I've gotten tired of them. True, sometimes it's interesting skipping game tutorials, but idk, if I was a creator I'd just brush it off, do the tutorial, remove any excess resources, and then play the game, where it's actually all following the core ruleset. Now... It *does* get a little finicky if there are tutorials in the middle of the game... Again, sometimes getting past stuff like that can be the meat of what's interesting about the video, so I won't complain about apologies there. But if it's just at the beginning of the game, then play your challenge my guy, no need for all the "aww I can't do it" nonsense Sample kept it short here at least, which I appreciated.
I've rewatched the Pikmin 1 video of this challenge like a dozen times at this point, seeing the sequel come out of nowhere (understandably) has me excited for more pikminless shenanigans
I feel uncomfortable watching this video because the white Pikmin has the same name as me. Randomly through out the video, I just hear my name. Glad to see I got a shoutout though.
It's one of the few series you can play every game (except Hey Pikmin, RIP e shop) on one console. If only other franchises got a fraction of that respect (though Luigi's Mansion is really close, just need the original ported to Switch, but like Hey Pikmin, you can get it for 3DS).
Not gonna lie the challenge itself might be interesting but your ability to script it with plot twist, cool "No f-ing way" type moments and jokes that land perfectly (like the fake escaping the tutorial or the ending where you seemingly very mad at yourself go over how there was so much money in the cave not mentioning how this money was in fact not available before paying off the debt and that this was in fact all mandatory) is what brings me back to this channel every time a video upload pops up. This deserves way more recognition and you deserve way more praise good sir! Keep up the good work and maybe Pikmin 3 next? :3
I mean this in the most positive way possible but I can't hear the music at 4:50 without instantly thinking about top ten goobie woobies. And yeah the rest of the video was also really good. I especially liked the subterranean complex montage.
Hey Sample, I know you're probably not gonna see this but I felt like I had to share this. I've been watching your videos ever since the Hollow Knight Challenge run and since then you've become my favorite challenge runner on youtube BY FAR. I think a lot of youtubers wouldn't like to hear this but you've helped me fall asleep way too many times to count. I suffer from insomnia and a few months ago I discovered that putting on your videos, seeing these familiar childhood games and hearing your relaxing voice explain the intricacies of a niche game mechanic or a glitch has brought me a lot of comfort and I can honestly, with full confidence, say that you are a BIG part of my nightly routine by now. I don't want to sound parasocial, which I'm not, but I tend to put on your challenge run playlist on youtube when I wanna go to bed and I just let it run until it loops over and over again because I feel a sense of familiarity and safety when listening to your videos. I obviously watch every video when it releases so I don't fall asleep during new content (your content is not boring at all and actually really interesting and engaging) it's just when I rewatch your older videos for the bagillionth time it really helps to put me to sleep (NOT MEANT IN ANY CONDESCENDING WAY) because just like today, I look forward to every new and creative way to break a beloved childhood game of mine and your videos helping my insomnia is really just the icing on the cake. I just wanted to let it all out and if you get the chance to read this comment in the hundreds of comments you receive, I want you to know that your effort and therefore your videos and your personality severely helped improve my quality of life and especially my quality of life. You play a big part in the Happiness I feel these days and I thought if I'm this early to a video I might aswell use the chance to let you know what your videos have done for me. From the heart, thank you so much for everything Sample, I hope you find content creation enjoyable for a long time and continue to help people who might just have the same Issues as me.
Imagine you have to work tomorrow so you need to go to bed, you are about to go eep, and then sample uploads a follow up to his first Pikmin challenge. Guess I'm tired tomorrow.
You could have easily gotten more sprays by just picking any dungeon that had a lot of nectar eggs and just resetting each floor until you got a spray, but _noooo,_ you just HAD to flex on us with a crazy double knapsack jump to get back into the Frontier Cavern lmao. Fantastic video.
Another banger video, I thoroughly enjoy just having your vids play in the background. The combination of dry delivery and sick music choices, are, well as I said, banger quality.
The effort you put into these videos is crazy. Always fun to watch, thanks for the content! (Also, I had no idea the dynamic weight mechanic was a thing. Cool that the developers included that.)
it's as if you know my current obsession Sample (and as if you didn't caused it in the first place with your "Pikmin 1 no pikmin challenge" bc I rewatched it again and went "oh wait i have bought p3 a while ago i should play it") great stuff as always, with stellar commentary and editing, love your style! ps: as someone for whom pikmin 3 is the first game played in the series i am quite upset with it being put in the "bad games shredding machine". i challenge you to now do that game with a pikmin limit as well >:3c (not p4 tho. in p4 the problem is solved with Oatchi and it's just not fun)
Man I freaking love this content! These videos always brighten my day so much more, and once I see that Sample posts a new video I just get so excited. Keep posting man it’s great!
the fact that (barring the tutorial) you only need 1 of each pikmin plus an extra purple pikmin to beat the game is STILL really cool. also shows just how op purples are. i love these videos, can't wait to see what's next(:
I was kinda feeling bummed today but this showed up just in time. I always look forward to your stuff and really makes my day. Every upload has it's own charm and I just appreciate that. Thanks, can't wait for whatever may come in the future.
Honestly, I love this channel a lot. You make your videos really entertaining and it’s one of the only channels I can focus on for more than 20 minutes at a time. And there’s pikmin content which is fueling my hyperfixation. Just wanted to say thanks! :D
o7 thank you for the consistent high quality content, been around since the commentated Kirby:SSU TAS and it's always been bangers. Been loving everything you make, excited to see what comes next. 10/10 good shit
YEAAAAHHH NEW SAMPLE VIDEO !!!!!! your commentary is so entertaining and the challenges are always really interesting, i love seeing the miserably time consuming methods you use to do everything. absolutely perfect video to watch while eating lunch, 10/10
Not sure if anyone commented about it but love the detail of Zero Escape music during the talk about timeline and escaping something. Really nice touch
Another banger video, I'm always amazed at how much sheer time and effort you put into these challenges. The strats you find and use are always so insane, and that isn't even mentioning all the great editing in the actual video itself. Keep up the great work! (also bill is the goat)
I love your videos! I got so excited when this one popped up on my feed, because I've watched almost every one of your videos on the channel. Thanks for the great content and know that your video was my favorite study break from my board exam so far 😂
Really well done video!! The editing is really well done and love how smooth the transitions are to the commentary and how the game sets to black on it's own. Ofcourse the render of the area and enemies are really, really lovely. All around an amazing watch! Also, nice use of Corpse Party chapter 1 theme. Horror game music is always a bop to listen to
I absolutely adore this game franchise and series, and seeing you absolutely destroy it in the best way possible fills me with joy. Thanks :)), cant wait for Pikmin 3, that one's a bit more exploitable.
I've never seen any pikmin content outside of your videos and I'm fine with that, I'd watch Sample play just about anything. amazing production and professional-level commentary alongside friendly dry humour and fun skits
That bit in the beginning hurt my insides at that loud smack on the disc, felt like one of my kids getting slapped in public 🥲 and I don’t even have kids
amazing video! i recommend putting the musics you use in your videos in the description for whoever is interested in them! ive noticed a few youtubers doing it and its great!
12:25 Woah I knew about another mum bump route, but knockback extension is a new tech to me. Gonna have to look into what you can do with that 19:06 Burrow-Nit Transportation is neat, but a Wollyhop Super Jump would have been more efficient.
Honestly I’d love to see you just speed run the games too. It’s really interesting how you explore mechanics in the game and I wanna see how they can be used in normal runs.
This was really cool! I think it's fair to compromise for the sake of keeping the challenge interesting, and your narration really helps keeping this videos interesting. One criticism on the video, maybe, but while people who have watched the Pikmin 1 video know why you allowed 1 of each Pikmin in that video, giving a quick summary in this video about why you did it might still be useful for people who don't have that context, or who forgot it.
Pikmin 2 is love, Pikmin 2 is life, Pikmin 2 best game. Now break it in completely unintended ways that go against everything Pikmin is about for my viewing pleasure!
That was amazing. Your pikmin 1 video is one of my favorite challenge run videos of all time and i rewatched it tons of times by now because its so fun, really happy you are continuing through the series. Now i need to play pikmin 3 so i can see the next video on this 👀
I really liked the way you made exceptions compared to a lot of pikmin challenge runs I've seen (ie, the nudging) it made it more interesting than just "how few times do we need more pikmin"
The purple Pikmin is named Bill, Bill is a nickname for William, William is the purple guy. I appreciate the attention to detail.
Thank you for pointing this out.

Okay look he went hard in that room tho
Time for a classic game of 2
So underrated what the heck-
Me: Wow, I'm surprised how quickly you were able to get out of the tutorial this time!

Of course it's possible, you could probably beat 3 and 4 while you're at it. I don't know why you'd even need more than 1 copy of the game.

I love your videos! I got so excited when this one popped up on my feed, because I've watched almost every one of your videos on the channel. Thanks for the great content and know that your video was my favorite study break from my board exam so far 😂
Eyy we're reaping the benefits of you going full time. Keep up the amazing content
7:00 love the reference to Virtue's Last Reward
both in music and what you are saying!
0:28 rip pikmin 3
dude i love all of these videos, i can't wait for the next *(entertaining)* hell you put yourself through
7:43 my min pik'ed so hard when i heard the pac-man world 2 theme start playing
Somehow, my man still uploads top tier content while breaking his own rules
GOATED
Would not be surprised if I see Pikmin 3 with 1 of Each Pikmin in 3 months
I have to get it out of that dang machine first
@@SampleChample Maybe it is for the best
Really well done video!! The editing is really well done and love how smooth the transitions are to the commentary and how the game sets to black on it's own. Ofcourse the render of the area and enemies are really, really lovely. All around an amazing watch!
Also, nice use of Corpse Party chapter 1 theme. Horror game music is always a bop to listen to
I don’t even really care about Pikmin… but this video had awesome editing and storytelling, and I respect the grind. Well done!
I absolutely adore this game franchise and series, and seeing you absolutely destroy it in the best way possible fills me with joy. Thanks :)), cant wait for Pikmin 3, that one's a bit more exploitable.
So awesome that you did 2 as well !!! I loved loved loved the music choices in the bkg in the first one and this was no different,, great video!
I've never seen any pikmin content outside of your videos and I'm fine with that, I'd watch Sample play just about anything. amazing production and professional-level commentary alongside friendly dry humour and fun skits
Wow! This challenge required a LOT of tricks and effort, props to you for getting it done!
I was gonna go to my college interview but i just had to watch this video
hmmm not sure about that one ngl
Naming the drone pikmin a hexcode for purple was excellent, good bit
but it's 7 digits though? B170C53
That bit in the beginning hurt my insides at that loud smack on the disc, felt like one of my kids getting slapped in public 🥲 and I don’t even have kids
Awesome. I really hope you do a part 3!
amazing video! i recommend putting the musics you use in your videos in the description for whoever is interested in them! ive noticed a few youtubers doing it and its great!
12:25
Woah I knew about another mum bump route, but knockback extension is a new tech to me. Gonna have to look into what you can do with that
19:06
Burrow-Nit Transportation is neat, but a Wollyhop Super Jump would have been more efficient.
Aw man I completely forgot about that trick, would’ve been super cool actually
Literally any pikmin 2 player: "Debt obviously isn't the end of the game"
Pikmin 2 challenge players: "uhhhhh na this is the ending"
Honestly I’d love to see you just speed run the games too. It’s really interesting how you explore mechanics in the game and I wanna see how they can be used in normal runs.
can't wait for the pikmin 3 version of this where you fish out Pikmin 3 from the shredder & put Hey pikmin where it belongs
This was really cool! I think it's fair to compromise for the sake of keeping the challenge interesting, and your narration really helps keeping this videos interesting.
One criticism on the video, maybe, but while people who have watched the Pikmin 1 video know why you allowed 1 of each Pikmin in that video, giving a quick summary in this video about why you did it might still be useful for people who don't have that context, or who forgot it.
Yea that’s fair. I jus didn’t wanna reference the first video too too much since the challenge rules are a lil different
@@SampleChample Yeah, I think a quick refresher in the beginning would have been enough, but I understand that it'd affect the video flow.
Holy shit i was not ready for the kick in the nostalgia that is the Pacman 3d World 2 soundtrack, which kicked in at the start of chapter 4!
Most pumped ive been to see a new video come out in a hot minute. Keep it up man!
Pikmin 2 is love, Pikmin 2 is life, Pikmin 2 best game. Now break it in completely unintended ways that go against everything Pikmin is about for my viewing pleasure!
he's over here playing " 2"
WOOOH! More Sample, baby! Good to have more of you.
Please, I'm begging you, beat all the pikmin games like this! I love it!
The sample chample delivers yet another video I would eat my dinner to
11:28 "The 'Awakening Wood...' wow... okay... THIS PLACE IS MASSIVE"
WAKE UP sample just posted
YEAH NEW SAMPLE VIDEO WOOOO!! Good job with the challenge, the glitches and stuff you show off is mindblowing to me!
That was amazing. Your pikmin 1 video is one of my favorite challenge run videos of all time and i rewatched it tons of times by now because its so fun, really happy you are continuing through the series.
Now i need to play pikmin 3 so i can see the next video on this 👀
Sample's next video is just gonna be him playing the game normally the moment he finds a single obstacle in the challenge.
Guess what? I WAS LUEY! And I WOULDN'T LET YOU CONTROL ME!! >:3
Happy to see Pikmin get some love especially on the challenge content scene! Keep up the good work!
I really liked the way you made exceptions compared to a lot of pikmin challenge runs I've seen (ie, the nudging) it made it more interesting than just "how few times do we need more pikmin"
Love you Sam. Good video, great editing, terrific effort. Thanks for sharing with us what you enjoy to do.
