Pikmin 1 TAS: Yellow Only Forest of Hope 1 Day Cleared
384This was made possible by my discovery, and the further discoveries by Grassdigger, of bomb clones. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMaOwVbwOTs
In my last video, I discussed my discovery of what I thought was invisible bombs. Turns out, those bombs are actually clones, meaning you can use the same bomb twice!
Forest of Hope requires 31 bombs for all the gates you'd want to destroy in a 1 day clear run, but there are only 29 bombs available. Thanks to this now known glitch mechanic, we are able to clone 2 bombs, and fully clear the area in a day with only yellow pikmin!
What does this imply? Well, there are 3 challenge runs which have been improved. The current theories say you can clear pikmin in:
- 6 days without reds
- 22 days deathless and never withdrawing from onions
- 8 days using one one colour per visitable area
- 10 days Yellow Only
At the moment I'm unsure if this changes anything else, but it sure is heccin' cool. Hope you enjoy the video!
About the TAS:
I came up with the route on paper about a week ago, finally sat down and churned it out in the space of a single evening! It's mad that happened, I wasn't even sure this was possible by a frame perfect TAS, turns out there's plenty of time to spare. With a better route and actual TAS-like execution, I'd save around 20-40s. This was literally the first draft of the route, everything I wanted to work, just worked! I'd change a couple things, but it's nice to get it out of the way first try.
