Yo what the heck? It's crazy seeing my video referenced by someone else. Nice run, though! It's cool to see all these exploits executed in a single run. I've seen them before, in some old 50 Pikmin, 6 Day TAS way back when, but it's interesting to see them completed by a human!
Hey CowFoodYum, love your Pikmin videos man. Super happy you found this. Hopefully you didn’t take any offense to it. It was just meant to be a silly video. Your original vid is what got me into Pikmin challenge runs.
Welcome, enjoy your stay and have fun watching little guys run to their doom despite your instruction! (No but seriously, Pikmin is amazing, give it a try)
I love that people are still interested in Pikmin 1. It's my favorite, it's aesthetic and lonely feel is just so unique. Love these videos please keep making more!
This was actually super impressive! Maybe the challenge should be called “can you beat the game with the fewest Pikmin while not using candy pop buds” but also that’s a long title! Haha anyways none the less these Pikmin videos are awesome! I love Pikmin and your one of my favorite Pikmin UA-camrs! Thank you for the fun content and keep it up man! :)
@@pressaTD maybe with the fewest pikmin plucked would've worked better? That way it accounts for the candypop buds without specifically calling them out
50-pikmin candypopless is a shorter challenge name, and accurately explains it! 50 is the (current until proven otherwise) lowest number you need to beat the game with all mandatory parts, and you're not using candypops!
Reading the comments I suppose it needed to be more obvious that the candy pop situation is really not that deep 😅 he literally praised the run he is referencing y’all
Playing with a fixed number of pikmin of only 20 reds, 20 blues and 10 yellows and using olimar as a invincible diet forklift... is genuinely impressive, but there is always been one thing that bothered me about the video and that thing is, *that* *the* *whole* *video* *is* *a* *lie* . Well it's technically true that he only uses 50 pikmin in his run he kinda uses a loophole to do it, and that loophole is restarting the day when you restart the day it goes back to the beginning of the day, so if you rewind the day you come back to when you still had 50 pikmin, but the catch is. That it doesn't raise your total pikmin count, so technically he still had 50 pikmin in his run, but where it falls apart for me is how he disregards all the parallel universes he lost which obviously doesn't add up to 50. And i know the game doesn't look at it this way, but i do. I don't see the difference between losing all pikmin or just swapping timelines using the reset button. In my eyes a undisclosed number were used not 50. So it bates the question, can you actually just use 50 Pikmin to beat the game or do you have to use this international game design option loophole to do it? Well let's find out. Btw don't take this seriously at all, it's sarcasm and is by no way my opinion i made it because i though it was funny comment idea.
Mans out here coming at peoples throats. First backlogs now cowfood. What have they done to you? XD Just kidding, love all of y'alls channels and love to see the different ways to approach the same challenge.
Why are people so salty over a fun video game challenge? But in the heart of the video: What would be the minimum amount without the "lying down" glitches?
90, if you count each pikmin converted by a candypop bud as an entirely new pikmin. You need 20 red pikmin to complete day 1, 15 yellows to get the Libra, and 40 blues to get the Anti-Dioxin Filter, which adds up to 75 total. However, the Chronos Reactor is impossible to get glitchless without converting 20 blue pikmin into yellow pikmin, because you need yellows to reach the part but can't get them over the water via normal means (I guess with really good pikmin calling skills you could swim them over, but resetting the pikmin drowning timer like that might count as a glitch, so we'll disregard it). fortunately, with 40 blue pikmin (that you needed anyway for the Anti-Dioxin filter), you can avoid having to convert any Yellow Pikmin back into blue pikmin by converting exactly 20 blues and then using your other twenty blues to carry the part once it's off the ledge, and then you can save the stranded yellows by coming back at the end of the day and whistling them into your party, letting cutscene power teleport them across the water. Then those yellows can be used to grab the Libra, meaning you'd only have to sprout 70 pikmin instead of 75. Here's how the route would go: *Sprout 20 red pikmin on day 1 to grab the Engine. *You need at least 30 pikmin in total in order to get enough parts to reach the Forest Navel, because you need 4 more parts to do so and the area only has 3 that can be carried with less than 30 pikmin. You could technically get the job done with 29 reds and 1 yellow, but if you need 10 more pikmin anyway, might as well just get 10 yellows. *Get 40 blue pikmin. If you want to mimimize total pikmin numbers as well as sproutings, you can grow 20 blue pikmin the regular way, and then unlock the Distant Spring and get the remaining 20 blues via candypop bud - just make sure you've done everything you wanted with your reds before you convert them, as you'll never be able to turn any pikmin back into red pikmin for the whole run. *Use your blues to get the Anti-Dioxin Filter and the Zirconium Rotor, as you won't be able to get them after the next step. *Grab the Chronos Reactor, converting 20 of your blues into yellows to get it down from the ledge and then using your other 20 blues to carry the part the rest of the way. Go back to whistle the stranded yellows into your party at the end of the day so that you don't lose them to nightfall. *Now that you have at least 20 yellows, go back to the Forest Navel and get the Libra. *Everything else should be pretty cut and dry. If you grew your 40 blues the old fashioned way, then you'll end the run with 20 red pikmin, 30 yellow, and 20 blue, but since twenty of those yellows were originally blue pikmin that got converted via candypop buds, that's 90 total pikmin sprouted. If you used a candypop bud to get more blues while keeping total pikmin count as low as possible, you'll have 50 pikmin and 40 candypop uses, which is still 90 total pikmin sprouted.
Slight error in your calculations- you can't convert all 20 of your reds into blues. That triggers an extinction and will spawn one red pikmin automatically, which is an additional pikmin that we want to avoid.
@@mleem1771 I never said to convert all 20 of your reds into blues, you just need to make sure you won't need any of the reds you do convert later - and you'll have to convert at least 11 of them, since you enter the Distant Spring with only 10 yellow pikmin, and can't convert all 10 of them into blues for the same reason you can't convert all 20 red pikmin. I guess I should have said "make sure you've done everything that you'd need more than 9 red pikmin for". (You might think that you'd need 10 red pikmin in order to push the last box in the Final Trial, but it's possible to throw yellow pikmin over the water such that they can reach the box without having to navigate the fire at all, so it really doesn't matter what combination of red vs. yellow you toss into the blue candypop bud as long as you don't trigger an extinction of either type.)
I'm glad you included the bit explaining that you can't just shove the Gluon Drive in front of the Dolphin. I was wondering if you could do that, or maybe shove it in front but then have a single pikmin "carrying" it to trigger the cutscene.
Fun fact: It takes 85 Pikmin to beat the Japanese version of Pikmin 1, because the Secret Safe has a weight of 85, instead of 40 like all the other versions.
@@pressaTD blues only should be a lot less hectic than yellow only I’d imagine, no more pushing parts across the water. (blissfully ignorant of all the bombs needed) Yup, the extra throw height won’t mean a thing!
While I appreciate the video, it's certainly interesting and worth the watch, do we really have to ship of theseus (or in this case, Pikmin of olimar) our way to determining the validity of the previous run?
His run was completely valid, I was just trying to show off it was possible without them, while trying to add in some fun drama. Like I said don’t take it seriously lol
@@pressaTD it was a really interesting video! Don't worry I'm only joking around. I just thought the philosophical quandary about "whether or not a Pikmin's soul remains in tact after being tossed into a candy pop bud" was too funny to pass up
This is really cool. Though considering that you finished the run in the same number of days as my last regular playthrough, I'm definitely encouraged to do better myself.
I’d love a video where you actually find out what the least amount of pikmin required is without any of the glitches. So basically no glitches and no flowers
2:33 You can throw Pikmin on top of the grubs to insta-kill them through their temporary invulnerability in Pikmin 1. Figure they removed it in 2 for being too unforgiving or obscure of a mechanic.
I enjoyed the video! Though in defense of candy pop buds, there are never 50 pikmin at one time regardless of what number of them are a certain color overall, so it’s still 50 in my eyes even with the candy pop buds
Did people only watch until 1:45 and _then_ decide to comment or something? He says VERY EXPLICITLY that it really isn’t that serious, and it’s just for fun. Media literacy at an all time low istg
The joke doesn't land, and feels a little too arrogant and pretentious. Even watching the rest of the video, it doesn't leave a good taste, and it taints the rest of the experience.
@@htineZ420 idrc about the sanctity of the game except in a run that specifically bars glitches, but I don’t know what’s the worth of the out-of-game semantics that candypop buds “technically” create more Pikmin when you’re also using glitches is my point. Both are fine
After all the drop kicking/body slamming parts you had to do in previous videos, I'm sure this run was a real cakewalk and breath of fresh air since you could use a few blues to speed up the process.
you need 20 reds for the engine, 40 blues for the filter, and 20 yellows for the chronos reactor meaning the absolute minimum pikmin you can beat the game with while not using candypop flowers is 80. I'm not accounting for exploits though...
oh my gosh, I was too late posting my video on this same topic. all though now I'm curious if my answer matches yours. (Also note to self, better schedule challenge videos so other people don't beat me to the punch.) Edit: impressive use of tricks I didn't know while recording, guess our numbers were different.
i personally disagree with the notion that candypop buds 'increase' the pikmin count due to them 'transforming' pikmin and not actually adding to the overall population count, but i *am* interested in what a glitchless run vs any% run looks like. playing the game as 'intended' is just as interesting as playing when pushing the game to its absolute limits imo :) i would consider myself both uninterested in personally pushing games, but also unskilled to do so, so seeing people able to to use glitches and tricks is always fun.
I'm curious what the minimum day count is under this restriction. There's a TAS that manages the 6 day completion with 50 total Pikmin, but I wonder how much restricting to 50 sprouts slows you down.
I think 6 days is the lowest amount possible, no matter what. You need 1 day for the tutorial, 1 day for forest of hope, 1 for forest navel, 1 to go back to the impact site, 1 for distant spring and 1 for the final trial.
The best a human has done is 8 days, and it's unlikely a 7 or lower will be done by a human due to difficulty of part pushing in FN and time restraint in DS.
I like your runs but I feel like you might to work on your script for your videos more. They can be extremely repetitive with lots of "and then"-ing. I think you also do a bit of a repetitious cadence thing where you start louder then fade off.
The difference between Candypop Buds and swapping your pikmin via the onion is this: You're actually transforming your Pikmin from one type to another with a candy pop bud, while with the onion you're putting pikmin away to get more out.
I watched your yellow pikmin only challenge first and admittedly this one feels a lot less impressive in comparison No offense or anything, it's just funny to think about.
Oh for sure, after doing that yellow only run I needed something a bit easier. But I’m working on a blue only run right now that’s just as insane as the yellow lol.
I definitely wasn’t trying to disparage the run. I do praise it multiple times in the video. I just wanted to show off that it was possible without using the buds.
I don't really see how using the flowers is a loophole. It changes a Pikmin from one color to another it doesn't create a new one. The intro made me not want to watch the rest of the video because it's so distasteful, there we're other ways to communicate how you did this challenge.
Sorry you felt that way, I was just trying to make a stupid overly dramatic intro. I really don’t think he lied. I was just trying to come up with fun way to frame the video.
I'm sorry, you may have "completed" the game, but to pull it off you resorted to cheating. It's one thing to exploit a game mechanic to avoid growing more pikmin, Cowfoodyum used candy pop buds while you utilized Olimar's ability to nap to nudge ship parts. The problem with your run is that you also had to glitch out of bounds to pull it off, which completely invalidates it.
Glitches are a part of the game, he didn't use an external cheating device. In my opinion as long as anyone can do the run right now without an external cheating device then it counts as beating the game.
@@alejandrobernard3828 Speedrun terms are the best way to look at this, like another comment on the video already has - "any%" and "glitchless" are different categories, and this would be "any%". Both valid, just different approaches.

Calling candypop buds a "loophole" doesn't really make sense.. Trying to disparage another's run by coming up with arbitrary rules is kinda lame :\
I definitely wasn’t trying to disparage the run. I do praise it multiple times in the video. I just wanted to show off that it was possible without using the buds.
@@pressaTDgrrrr….
Tell me you didn’t watch the whole video before commenting without telling me.
@@barmacidic2257 More like not watched the first 5 minutes, everything's literally explained before the run even starts proper xD
@@ironmilutin erm… yuh🤤🤤
I don't really see how using the flowers is a loophole. It changes a Pikmin from one color to another it doesn't create a new one. The intro made me not want to watch the rest of the video because it's so distasteful, there we're other ways to communicate how you did this challenge.
Sorry you felt that way, I was just trying to make a stupid overly dramatic intro. I really don’t think he lied. I was just trying to come up with fun way to frame the video.

This is a very negative take. I think what they did counts as only 50 Pikmin, just say you're doing it without flowers
I be mad unsub just kidding
I'm sorry, you may have "completed" the game, but to pull it off you resorted to cheating. It's one thing to exploit a game mechanic to avoid growing more pikmin, Cowfoodyum used candy pop buds while you utilized Olimar's ability to nap to nudge ship parts. The problem with your run is that you also had to glitch out of bounds to pull it off, which completely invalidates it.
Glitches are a part of the game, he didn't use an external cheating device. In my opinion as long as anyone can do the run right now without an external cheating device then it counts as beating the game.
@@alejandrobernard3828 Speedrun terms are the best way to look at this, like another comment on the video already has - "any%" and "glitchless" are different categories, and this would be "any%". Both valid, just different approaches.
@@TARDISES Yeah, that's how I was thinking about it.
Do you mean the internal features
