How I Beat Pikmin Without Making Pikmin

Mokaygee mentioned! :o Wow an actually well researched video for a cool challenge run! Some notes while watching: -I would have been happy to provide help and solutions if you had any questions. -Squish climb is just called pellet clipping, but you can call that first specific pellet clip the squish climb if you want. -Incredible map explanation with custom model cinematography! -It would be nice if you explained that you did this with savestates. Oh, you did at 21:12. Excellent!! -@MintyMeeo -TRR's FN TAS is my favourite TAS on youtube. -32:47 clever. -34:30 I appreciate the effort it takes to get the libra to misbehave correctly. -38:40 I wish you'd have shown ADF coming ashore. Wait 42:42 :o -43:47 It's because CR is so big it's hitting so many different floor triangles. It's also such a light part (the opposite of dense like IJ or ADF) that it's willing to slide easily. Same with GD. Parts don't like to change their angle and you're trying to force this constantly. -50:20 You like naming things, huh. Anyway you don't need to go in and out of the threat range, you can just leave a single pikmin at the edge of the blowhog's threat range. I did this for IR in my red only, I left the red on the nectar island while 2 pikmin attacked it for half the day. -56:50 Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the screen The 2nd person who's seen it was xHaii, interestingly the only other known person who also did a legitimate 29/30 red only run. Oh and you could totally have just bombed the gate but I have the feeling watching this video that you changed the rules in the editing process. You wanted to not USE pikmin as much as possible, which is also why you didn't break the 9 gate in DS. That's not a very cinematic fact though so it makes sense not to include it. -57:05 HAD ME POGGING legitimately. 2 hours isn't very long to try to recreate this. Did you use the set RNG code? -1:00:40 Aww. Anyway you're right that the bombs don't spawn on the lower ledge, confirmed by Meeo. It's a combination of the RNG to spawn the bombs next to the ledge, inside each other, then also one of them gets pushed down the ledge as they resolve their positions. Overall fantastic video, this is my favourite Pikmin challenge video by a non-runner. Because it uses so many things I had to come up with for a challenge run that is so close to my heart. -Mokay

Ever since watching Sample's video on PvZ blindfolded I just image he's always wearing the blindfold and just see's everything with some magic third eye or something.

"If we had to kill to escape purgatory, then that only means we're stuck in hell" might be one of the rawest lines I've heard in a YouTube video

As someone who does Pikmin challenge runs for a living, watching this was absolutely insane. This video puts all my runs to shame, good work!!

34:30 "You expect me to explain that? I got no clue why that happens." Thay is the most speedrunner statement ive heard in a while

28:25 "A pikmin is a pikmin, you can't say it was never made" Well TJ "Louie" Pikmin, allow me to explain...

I love how your challenges frequently end up as “what if we had very limited resources” rather than “what if we had no resources”. It makes it so much more interesting.

I think that playing the game with only 3 pikmin is the best way. With only 3 pikmin, you grow attached to them and something something power of friendship triumphs over all

This man is still one of the two reasons why the category of challenge runs should exist. Exploit and shenanigan demonstrations are some of the most fun things you can experience in video games, and every single one of these videos (including games I've played too much of) shows such wonders.

Stephan and Stefanie two completely innocent names for red pikmin that mean absolutely nothing nothing at all

Pikmin content: ✅ Challange Video: ✅ Pizza Tower/Omori Music: ✅ 1 Hour + Length: ✅ Channel = Sample: ✅ Oh yeah, this is going into the "Videos Taking College Grade Deep Dives Into Video Game Physics for Absurd Reasons to Fall Asleep to" Playlist right next to Bismuth DK64 TAS and Panankoek's breakdown of Invisible Walls!!

Olimar finds a new species, says "hey buddy," kills him, then gets sad and decides to quit for the day by flying away in his rocket with no engine... Yep, everything checks out. 👍

im new to your channel, and your style of editing and humor isnt entirely what im used to, but oh my gosh you nail everything perfectly. the quick and easy to understand explanations, the super fun visualizations, and u manage to keep the same pace and tone throughout the entire video, its all just so awesome. i wasnt one of the ppl who edured the huge wait this video apperently had, but if it made this possible, it was well worth it. amazing quality stuff, awesome video

i love imaging standing next to a greenscreen just punching air for the editing lol

Bro has been playing pikmin for the last 5 months. I pray for your sanity

I have noticed a drastic increase in Pikmin content from creators I follow recently and I am absolutely here for it. Pikmin was nearly a third of my childhood, so any time I see it I get happy.

Why is Sample's videos so freaking good. Not one of them miss. Also don't worry about any "Cheating" It made for a great video. I think that's what matters.

I would've never guessed that the key to the proverbial kingdom was just... Olimar really feeling the need to scratch his back or something.

I'm at only one third of the video (day 4 finished) and WOW not only are the strats REALLY cool but I love the visualisations with the maps recreated in 3D and you punching or throwing things arround it, really fun way to convey the plans. Another Sample Banger right here!

Sample if you had a million subscribers I wouldn't question it. Your editing style, demeanor, bits, and schmovement are all exceptional and you should feel proud of the effort you put in! I'm proud of your triumphs too. I fell in love with your hollow knight video, and I've been floating with heart eyes at each one since. Whenever you post, I get the notification and know that my evening is going to be a great one, and they inspire me to view the games I play in a different (albeit mostly unpractical) light. Thank you for sharing your curiousity with me.
