Grassdigger | Pikmin 2: 6-Day Completion, No Deaths (Day 3) @grassdigger8695 | Uploaded July 2018 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
6-Day Completion is finally possible! I collect every treasure in 6 days, spending 3 days in Valley of Repose and just 1 day everywhere else. I also don't let Pikmin die. Thanks to many people's contributions that made this possible!

I have successfully completed Awakening Wood in 1 day! I am the fifth person that we know of to do this. Here are the others:
1. HSS0136: youtube.com/watch?v=govlosZaj-0
2. Baryte: No video
3. xHaii: youtube.com/watch?v=pTZYB1dTd4M
4. ShadowLugia: youtube.com/watch?v=W5ACKzAJ_tg
5. Me. However, I do think I'm the first to do this in 0 deaths!
I recommend watching these videos, we had different routes and unique play-styles.
Now, I list all of the discoveries that I utilize to complete Awakening Wood.

-Goo Clip with 15 spicy sprays by HSS0136. youtube.com/watch?v=3qpv2wzSTiY
A huge thanks to these people for finding these things!
The breakthrough discovery in this list was charging. I'll briefly explain it here. We say that a treasure is "charged" when spicy leaf Pikmin lose their spice while they carry the treasure. To understand the glitch, it's important to know that leaf Pikmin have a carry speed of 1 and spicy Pikmin have a carry speed of 2. Now, when a spicy Pikmin picks up a treasure, it contributes 2 speed. Once the spicy Pikmin loses its spice and I whistle it off, only 1 speed is taken off of the treasure. Thus, the treasure has a net gain of 1 speed per leaf Pikmin that lost a spicy spray. Note that leaf white Pikmin have a speed of 3, while spicy white Pikmin have a speed of 4. Also, leaf purple Pikmin have a speed of 0.6, and spicy purple Pikmin have a speed of 1.6. Thus, leaf whites and purples would also give the treasure a net gain of 1 speed each. Note that any bud Pikmin would give the treasure a net gain of 0.5 speed each.
I greatly appreciate the Pikmin Speedrunning Discord for their contributions to this accomplishment. We tossed many ideas back and forth with each other, and we may have disagreed on certain things (such as whether to do early blues once or twice), but now 3 of us have managed to do Awakening Wood in 1 day. I once thought that discovering bitter sprays would be better than discovering spicy sprays, as we could get spicy drops from petrified enemies. However, urban from the Discord convinced me that collecting spicy berries would be faster. This is one example of many complications that we had think through with big brains.
I actually managed to do Goo Clip twice. However, 4 Pikmin died on my first attempt. Being the first person to do a 6 day run with 0 deaths was appealing, so I spent a few more hours before I managed to do Goo Clip again, but now with no deaths. Here is the video of the run including my first Goo Clip with 4 deaths: youtube.com/watch?v=hnV1AzYLI8A
Lastly, if you want to obtain a 6-day completion, feel free to try it out! But be warned that Goo Clip will be elusive, and you'll need to do it dozens of times before you'll get it, even with perfect execution. Thus, patience, composure, and reserves of sanity are required: be warned.
If I missed anything or didn't explain something from the video clearly, please feel free to ask about it in the comments!
