Pikmin 2 - 6 Day Completion (Awakening Wood in 1 Day) ShadowLugia 2018-04-15 | It's finally possible, thanks to muratsubo's discovery of "Carrying Capacity Charge" - twitter.com/muratsubo/status/977540083719880705The speed of spicy-sprayed leaf Pikmin (the speed of flowers) is added to an object when Pikmin start carrying it, and the speed of leaf Pikmin (once the spray runs out) is subtracted from it when the Pikmin are whistled off. You can chain this adding and subtracting of unequal speed amounts to build up speed on any carryable object in the game except captains, who have a fixed speed.After years of fantasizing about it, the Decorative Goo can be obtained on the first (and now only!) visit to Awakening Wood. Thanks to the entire Pikmin community for coming together to make this a reality through the many hours all of us spent testing and routing this crazy day.The original plan was for this video to be of the entire 6-day completion, but I started having capture card lag issues at the end of day 5 that made it unwatchable. The other 5 days look almost exactly like how they did in 2012's 7-day completions; the only major difference this time around is Awakening Wood.This is by far the hardest day in a Pikmin 2 low-day completion run, both in terms of actual difficulty and the amount of patience required. 20+ sprays must be farmed from eggs while underground, requiring many hours of resetting certain sublevels to get a spray drop, which is then duplicated. As you can see, I enter the final cave with 3 "seconds" left in the day. The above-ground segments, though not incredibly difficult to pull off, must be played very well, or else there is not enough time in the day to charge the Decorative Goo.The actual charging of the Decorative Goo is a complete nightmare and should only be attempted if you hate yourself. I spent at least 10 hours on the last segment alone, since actually getting the Goo into position is controllable but very hard. I got extremely lucky in this video - most attempts end up with the Goo just moving backwards into the water over and over again, and me sobbing into my hands.Please note that I am not the first person to beat Pikmin 2 in 6 days. That title goes to HSS0136, who did it on April 2, 2018. Baryte and xHaibara have also finished 6-day completions as of the time of uploading this video.
