Pikmin 2 - WR Pay off Debt Route

=====================================
HSS0136's Pikmin 2 Pay off Debt Route
=====================================

Note: Treasure names and Poko values vary from NTSC-J, NTSC-U, and PAL. These differences do not make any differences between NTSC versions, but have been untested on the PAL version. The names and values listed in this guide are for the NTSC-U version.
Note: ENSURE YOU HAVE THE GAMECUBE VERSION. The Wii version does not allow for Early Blues, meaning this route will be useless.
Note: It is recommended that you collect enemy carcasses throughout the run. This allows dumb mistakes to happen or get bad RNG that makes it impossible to collect certain treasures. Poko counts will be rough estimates, usually rounded up.

// Before the timestamp, he actually failed the trick a number of times.
// This is not because he is doing anything wrong, but rather that white and purple Pikmin will randomly select one of the onions to pathfind to, and he happened to get red plenty of times. It will only work if the numbers above the Pikmin turn blue.
- Break down the wall and collect Blue pellets in the meantime.
// At this point, exact Pikmin count really isn't a big deal due to the large number.
