Rush Boots speed comparison - Pikmin 2

I decided to test how quick the Rush Boots are in Pikmin 2. I found a large stretch of walkable terrain, and recorded two runs of Olimar going from one end to the other. One had the Rush Boots on, the other didn't.
To achieve this, I created a savestate in Dolphin at the starting point. For both cases, I held Down on the same frame, some time after the savestate. For one of the runs, I edited the variable that controls what Exploration Kit treasures you have (029429DC in EU P2) some frames after the savestate, but before I began running. Since this change immediately impacts your speed, altering this variable is a clean way to get the exact same starting conditions, and only changing the Rush Boots.
This experiment is as close as you can get to perfect. Both tests start on the same exact spot and same exact time, and go through the exact same paths. The "finish line" is a bit arbitrary, but I tried to find the first frame where Olimar's headlight is no longer moving a significant distance. I eyeballed it, but even if I chose the wrong frame, at most, the results are one or two frames off. But with a stretch this long (over 25 seconds), the error isn't any more than 0.1%, so honestly, this is good enough for all practical purposes.

An extra eight seconds over the size of the Perplexing Pool, hm?
To be honest, I hate trying to control my Pikmin at those speeds, but I imagine it's good for when you're working solo.

rush boots are fast, more news at eleven

I still play this game to this day

Hmmm, I suppose this would imply flowered White Pikmin are 1.3x faster than average flowered Pikmin? I’ve always wondered the exact measurements for how much faster/slower White/Purple Pikmin are, I don’t think their Tp values for the formulas used in the carrying speed accurately reflect that.

Only ten likes but over 2k subs?
Something wrong I can feel it

[@FakestLoogi]

If I were to guess most of those subs were from their PvZ videos

Yeah, just haven't had content to upload, but I'm active in other Pikmin places.
