BE SURE THAT THE BULBORB HAS BEEN RETRIEVED BY THE ONION BEFORE THE CUTSCENE PLAYS) - Nectar - As the Courage Reactor is about to be retrieved, switch to Olimar and call all reds off the wall DAY 5 > Put all reds on the wall > EMERGENCE CAVE - clear all sublevels DAY 6 > ENTER HOLE OF BEASTS - Take out all Pikmin - Walk to the black wall, on your way throw four reds onto the 2, 1 pellets and two reds onto the female sheargrubs - Switch to Louie, call 4 reds from the onion and throw them onto lone nearby 1 pellet and three female sheargrubs behind it - Call 2 reds from the onion and throw one on each far 1 pellet - Pluck until approximately 14/15 reds, put them onto the gate - Return to onion with Olimar and Louie and pluck remaining reds - Down the honeywisp and then put the remaining reds on the wall - Nectar - Move Healing Cask down from the stump with a purple :: Kill cloaking burrow-nit > HOLE OF BEASTS - clear all sublevels > ENTER WHITE FLOWER GARDEN - get the one purple from the ship and go to White Flower Garden - IF YOU ARE NOT DOING FAST EARLY BLUES, MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE BLUE PIKMIN CUTSCENE BEFORE ENTERING > WHITE FLOWER GARDEN - clear all sublevels, skip Toxic Toadstool on sublevel 4 > ENTER SNAGRET HOLE - Early Blues (get Chance Totem moving) - Grow 20 Blues with Olimar while Louie breaks down Snagret Hole entrance gate > SNAGRET HOLE Sublevel 1: Crystallized Clairvoyance Sublevel 2: Combustion Berry Sublevel 3: clear Sublevel 4: All treasures if Cupid's Grenade can be collected without wasting time. If not, skip Cupid's Grenade. Sublevel 5: clear Sublevel 6: Only collect Stupendous Lens or Triple Sugar Threat if possible. Neither of these treasures are required, but they will add 120 and 60 Pokos to your total, respectively, acting as a buffer to skip potentially slow treasures later on. Sublevel 7: clear > ENTER BULBLAX KINGDOM All runners have slightly different preferences on how exactly to do this split and their variation is negligible except at a top level. Your general route should be: - build the bridge in front of the globe - start digging Pilgrim Bulb - get Sunseed Berry (throw one purple on it) - get globe moving - get Healing Cask moving - BK napsacks - pluck, exchange reds with blues, nectar all while growing blue Pikmin. I suggest watching a top-level run perform this segment. > BULBLAX KINGDOM Sublevel 1: clear Sublevel 2: clear Sublevel 3: skip Sublevel 4: clear Sublevel 5: skip UNLESS the treasure is so unbelievably close that it would be stupid not to get Sublevel 6: clear Sublevel 7: clear > End the day DAY 7 > ENTER SUBTERRANEAN COMPLEX - get all blues and put them on the main wall - switch captains, get purples/whites/reds, throw 5 reds and 3 purples on Utter Scrap - break rock - build bridge - napsack > SUBTERRANEAN COMPLEX Sublevel 1: If the tape is in a very slow position, but the Nouveau Table is easily attainable, skip the tape. If both treasures are in awful positions, you can skip this sublevel completely if you got Stupendous Lens. That also means that you are unable to use your Snagret Hole 6 buffer for the rest of the run. Sublevel 2: clear Sublevel 3: All treasures unless you got SL/TST on SH6 and haven't skipped any sublevels (except BK5/a tape), instead skip 1. Sublevel 4: grow until 30 whites, nectar Sublevel 5: skip (rimwalk!) Sublevel 6: clear Sublevel 7: clear Sublevel 8: skip unless you haven't skipped anything, then exit via geyser instead. Sublevel 9: clear > ENTER FRONTIER CAVERN - get purples out of ship - 10 blues / 3 purples on Fossilized Ursidae > FRONTIER CAVERN Sublevel 1: clear Sublevel 2: clear, unless you can skip a "small" treasure (50 pokos left to skip), instead skip Joy Receptacle if it's slow.
