My first speedrun of Pikmin 2. This is the pay off debt category in where you must collect 10000 pokos to pay off the debt. This is basically the any% category for Pikmin 2.
As should be expected of a first run, it is littered with mistakes and sloppy gameplay. Some noteworthy mistakes include clipping back inbounds during Early Blues, Louie dying in SH2, Killing pretty much all of my purples on ScX7, and the mess I made of GK6. All of these were mistakes which I had to reload my save in order to fix. If I can recognize some of these situations more quickly in order to avoid huge mistakes like this in the future, I should be able to sub 2 hours without much trouble.

The difference is slightly reduced because of the lag increase from using explosives at a faster rate, but this technically saves a frame on each hover.
Normally when performing a maximum height bombchu hover, you have to delay the backflip by a frame to allow Link to finish putting his shield away, otherwise you cant do a frame 1 bombchu pull. However, after blocking the explosion during a hover, there is 1 frame where you can pull the sword. Then theres 1 frame where you can backflip or sidehop without swinging the sword. This frame happens to be right on the frame that you normally couldnt perform a maximum height hover.

This was done on Bizhawk 1.13.2, so youll need a compatible version to play back the movie file. The technique itself will of course work on any version of Bizhawk or of the game, though.")
