Grassdigger | Pikmin 2: "A-Button Only" Challenge (Day 6) @grassdigger8695 | Uploaded December 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this challenge, all I can use is the control stick and the A-button. This means no whistling, no switching captains, no disbanding, no napsack, no sprays, no C-stick, no camera, and no pausing.

Today's big objective is finishing everything I can do in Awakening Wood, including all of Snagret Hole. Getting Chance Totem is quick and easy, and getting Air Brake is a little trickier. I have to do 2 long purple tosses, and if I mess one up, that purple will drown. I also fight the aboveground Snagret, which is quick and easy with a bunch of purples. Then, I tackle Snagret Hole.
Sublevels 1-5 aren't too bad with all of the purples I have to destroy my enemies. Electricity is simple to get rid of with purples too. Even the Snagrets aren't too bad. Sublevel 6 is the first challenge. A large number of layouts would be plain impossible, and most layouts can become impossible if I don't play my cards right. When Pikmin carry treasures underground, they only travel through areas that have been explored. Thus, I avoid walking through water areas. This allows Pikmin to take dry paths to the ship, even if it's a longer path.
Lastly, I fight the Pileated Snagret. My plan was to do a 1-cycle. As the Pileated Snagret starts attacking Pikmin, you can actually stun it with purples (as long as their pound connects). If you stun if for long enough with enough Pikmin on its head, it should die before it eats the Pikmin. However, the Pileated Snagret didn't end up attacking in the first cycle. I ended up going with it. Most of the Pikmin were out of my control, but when the Pileated Snagret got up slowly, they would latch onto its head, which was nice. Otherwise, I got control of as many Pikmin as possible and threw them at the Snagret's head to keep it from attacking. In the end, I finished another boss fight deathless.
To end things off, I kill both captains to end the day about 5 minutes before it would normally end.
