Grassdigger | Pikmin 2: Community Contest #1 (Almost First Place...) @grassdigger8695 | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
EDIT: I made a big mistake! I heard the chrysanthemum before I enterred Bublblax Kingdom, so I only killed 2 chrysanthemums! Hence, this run doesn't count :(
Here are the rules:
- timing starts on selecting a file that has just cleared white flower garden
you can only have cleared hole of beasts and white flower garden; no above ground treasures in awakening wood may be collected.
you must not have moved any above ground treasures
you must not have built any bridges
you must not have broken any walls except the main wall
you must not have any more than 15 whites
you can have as many purples and reds as you wish
- timing ends on opening the dialog to enter bulblax kingdom.
OBJECTIVES (to be completed in any order):
- get blue pikmin
- kill 3 creeping chrysanthemums
- kill 2 cloaking burrow-nits
- collect healing cask
- collect air brake
- discover bitter berries (you don't need to get the spray)
- collect 3 spicy sprays (do not watch the cutscenes beforehand. you must unlock sprays)
- enter bulblax kingdom (done last)
Here is everyone else's times and videos:

This route is modelled after the one eevee used for this competition, but I introduced some optimizations of my own. Namely, I only used a few purples to fight some enemies, used a white to kill a chrysanthemum, and used a swarm of reds to reach Air Brake rather than 2 purple tosses.
The nice thing about this route is that using the napsack to be carried up the ledge near Snagret Hole is much faster than using a Chrysanthemum. However, I'm at a disadvantage for only having 1 captain for most of the run.
The relevant glitches used in this video are:
a load of napsack glitches:
near base - youtube.com/watch?v=46t1OUwmxXc
to Snagret Hole - youtube.com/watch?v=bBM29VTQzjo&t=4525s
to Bulblax Kingdom - youtube.com/watch?v=xVitUEHs7yo
Early Blues: youtube.com/watch?v=jYQ2M3GqELM
I also used a throw glitch to get Healing Cask and a swarm of reds to get Air Brake.
