This is far and away the hardest full collection because of the huge amount of RNG involved. There are 25 unmarked spectralids in the group, and I need to hit every one of them in the fairly short amount of time after I first go near them before they fly away. They fly in mostly random directions which makes it hard enough, but it's also random where they spawn. About half of their spawnpoints put them high above the ground which means that it's not only harder to hit them, but you also have less time to get them because once they start flying away they're almost immediatly too far off the ground to hit. It's also possible for them to spawn in the only room you can access, and their aggro timer starts when you go near them, not when you attack them. This makes it impossible to farm pikmin before engaging them, so you just have to reset immediately in this case.

It's also random how many queen candypop buds spawn in each room for the most part (you're guaranteed at least 1 in each large room I think but 10 pikmin doesn't cut it). Depending on where the spectralids spawn, sometimes it is possible to get them all using only 18 pikmin, but ideally you want 26-42. I think that the spawn position I got here is the easiest one because they are all low to the ground and sometimes they get stuck flying into the wall which makes them easier to hit, but it's still very difficult to get all of them before they fly away. This is actually the second run I had where I got all of them, but the first time I got no spicy spray drops and I misrouted, so I missed it by about 5 seconds. I'm pretty happy to be done with this one; I probably reset around 75 runs before I finally got it.

I lost a lot of time at the end looking for the last candypop bud because this was the first time I had ever had it spawn there which threw me off a bit.

A full collection means that I collected everything in the level that counts towards a final score count. This includes treasures, enemy bodies, and pikmin.

These full collection videos do not include mitites that can spawn from eggs as each egg has a 5% chance of spawning mitites and the universe would end before I got perfect RNG if I wanted to try to get those. There are some guaranteed mitite spawns, however, and I do collect those.
