Grassdigger | Pikmin 2 Glitch: Storing the Impossible Cutscene Timer @grassdigger8695 | Uploaded July 2017 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I've known that this cutscene activates on a timer for a few months, and since then, I've wanted to perform Cutscene Timer Storage on it. However, only recently did I finally discover how to do so!
I reference a lot of information and nomenclature that I used in this video, so please watch this first: youtube.com/watch?v=0HbOnYdQZTg
Before making that video, I thought that discovering red Pikmin was the trigger for Hey Pikmin. However, one of the experiments revealed that even if reds were already discovered, Hey Pikmin was triggered when I whistled a wild red! Hence, I can use other cutscene timers to keep Hey Pikmin from being active while I whistle 4 of the 5 wild reds, and the other wild red will remain until I'm about to end the day. Note that I need to keep Hey Pikmin (close) from activating.
Something I didn't mention in the video: I could have whistled 4 wild reds immediately instead of doing so during the Sprout timer. However, I only have a few seconds to work with at the start of the day, so I prolong doing this until the 20 second Sprout timer.
Anyway, the next challenge was figuring out how I should end the day. I have 3 options for doing so on day 1:
1. Pikmin extinction - I can't whistle a wild red AFTER the extinction, and I can't kill the wild red quickly enough after whistling it to get an extinction. In addition, it is impossible to kill a wild red before whistling it on day 1, as this requires a hazard or the void.
2. Collecting the first treasure - wild reds can't pick up treasure, no matter how hard you try. Hence, I can't move Courage Reactor until all 5 wild reds are whistled.
3. Killing both captains - this is possible by storing the Safe Louie cutscene at the very start, since the bulborb will stay alive. Then, I just have to crush a paper bag, and then my captains can take damage. This is the strategy I implement in the video.
Other than that, I try to store the timer to some different files for experiments. I learned that Hey Pikmin can play on any file, even if either version has played before. However, I figured that maybe unlocking the same unlocks twice would result in a glitch, but nothing really happens in that regard. Hence, storing Hey Pikmin is not useful as of right now. But being able to punch before discovering reds could be important!
Also, happy Fourth of July to all of my 'Murican viewers!
