What if you could enter Emergence Cave on day 1? - Pikmin 2

Could entering the Emergence Cave on day 1 help speedrunning the game? Could it create new challenges? Does it simply result in a glitchy mess? To answer these questions, I moved the paper bags out of the way and recorded my findings. I might've not tried everything that you can do, but I still documented the most interesting bits. Long story short, there are a lot of glitches, but no real breakthroughs for speedruns.
There is an Action Replay code that makes the game ask if you want to save before entering a sublevel. This is the code I used; it only works on the European version:
04515154 00000001
Table of contents:
0:00 Introduction and simply entering the cave
1:30 Spherical Atlas on day 1
1:47 Emergence Cave challenge (repaying the debt with corpses)
2:15 Bringing 15 Pikmin instead of all of them
2:46 Courage Reactor on the same frame as entering the cave
3:44 Entering the cave before the game is ready - before switching to Louie
4:43 Entering the cave before the game is ready - before reuniting leaders
5:54 Pikmin extinction on day 1
6:48 Utter Scrap on day 1

if the courage reactor ends that day, then what would happen if that was your last treasure to pay off the debt? (it getting you to 10000 or over)

[@zeropointer125]

@SuperInkLink64 I doubt it will crash. Probably just prioritize one over another.
The question is, if the End of Day takes president, will you repay the debt at the start of the next day, or will you never be able to repay your debt.

Olimar: Congratulations Pikmin it is infinite day plus we are GODS! Pikmin: YAY! Olimar: But we can't get purples and if we leave the cave we are no longer gods (Plus there's a glitch that you can get a pikmin extinction on day one)

0:15 *Olimar walks over to Louie* Louie: 👁👄👁

Good to see you again!

[@srb2Espyo]

Thanks! I'm always messing about with some thing or another, so I could decide to make a video at any moment.

[@totalytaco3715]

Where are the files where the object placement is kept? how do you edit the enemies / objects

[@srb2Espyo]

I wrote some guides and lists of files on this wiki: pikmintkb.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page It should have everything you need to know.

[@totalytaco3715]

thanks, I'll have a look

[@quotebalrog]

Can you make a tutorial on how you hacked the overworld? been wondering on how to do so

[@srb2Espyo]

I'll add some form of explanation to the Technical Knowledge Base in the future: pikmintkb.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page
Either way, right now, I only really know how to move objects, not much else.

And this is where the lands of torture began

[@newgameplus2674]

It actually is possible to enter Emergence Cave on Day 1 without the use of mods or hacks. It requires a few glitches to set it up and the execution is incredibly precise, but it is possible.
Here's some video proof in case anyone wanted to see it themselves:

So You Can Skip Awakening Wood And Perplexing Pool Entirely? I Mean Theoreticly

[@ghostformanek5664]

No, wistful wild doesn't unlock until after you unlock perplexing pool even if you repay the debt before going to awaking wood.

[@CheerUpCrewcut]

Huh, Interesting.

[@megamixer_257]

Pikifan4 IndigoCobra57 Yeah right

[@milkforever]

Im have a Lot Of Questions.
¿What we Need to Do?
¿There is Time Limit?
¿The Time Continues in a Cave?

[@PuffyBuffy25]

You need to collect treasure to save your company in debt
There is only time limits for the day and you have unlimited days
Time does not continue in the caves.
