Mokaygee | Pikmin 4 Olimar's Shipwreck Tale Speedrun in 29:45 @Mokaygee | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Extremely solid run outside of SS.
Done using Jhawk's Day 1 route, slightly modified at the yellow growth phase but it's not really faster. Just in general allows for more yellows grown on average. I also bomb the dirt gate because my route uses 1 less bomb in BA. The rest of the days were the routes I was already using up until now, so not much has changed. If you're curious, the route is a heavily modified version of Ice Cube's 4 day segmented run, with an RTA focus.
About the problems in Serene Shores:
What happened is the rare glitch where a Pikmin isn't transported when you move base. This usually happens right after something is collected, but in general you just have to hope it doesn't happen if you want to be fast. I panicked at the blue withdrawal phase, and at the time I thought it was just a yellow not in my party but available, so I tried again. This was 10s raw timeloss. Then when I figured out the backup to just put away a red and take out a blue, I had lost 10s more in game time, but arguably it wasn't pure timeloss because I would have had to wait and speed up the bowsprit later. So the total timeloss from this was 15-20s, which would have taken me below 29:30. Bummer.

In this video I attempt to explain slightly easier routes for Forest of Hope than you will see in top level runs. If this helps beginners learn the speedrun and not get held up by the wall of Pikmin 1s FoH 1 day skill barrier, then the goal has been fulfilled.
This is a tutorial for the 6 day route of Pikmin. That might be confusing because the route I show involves completing the Forest of Hope in 2 days, but its still considered the 6 day route.
Please forgive a few mistakes that I made in the gameplay, just do your best to remember the overall route and work on your own ability to execute it. If youre curious the major mistakes I made were:
Beginner route doesnt have to have 10 on the far bridge, it depends on how fast you are up to the Sagittarius collection.
Beginner route you should wait for geiger counter because theres no reason to speed up the bridges anyway.
I messed up the snagret execution in the intermediate route because of drowning across the bridge. The timestamp for a correctly executed snagret quick bury is 7:50
I messed up the order of things to collect on day 3. Best is to get the radiation canopy first, then finish with the radar and bolt but its actually very close.
Timestamps:
00:00 Beginner route day 2
12:24 Beginner route day 3
18:39 Intermediate route day 2
31:47 Intermediate route day 3")
