This is a mod of pikmin 2 that removes cutscenes and makes everything faster. I have played through this entire mod many times, and I like going as fast as possible without sticking to a strict route so it's somewhere between a speedrun and a casual playthrough.

There are several problems/quirks with the mod I have encountered that I will document here in case there are plans to update the mod in the future. I will list them in order of most severe to least severe (imo).

- Game crashes if you collect a treasure during the following cutscenes that are left in the mod: poisoned pikmin cutscene, X% debt completed cutscene, water drained cutscene.

- A softlock can occur after collecting the first above ground treasure in Valley of Repose where you get stuck in the ''night time'' version of the map, and nothing is interactable so it's impossible to continue the game. I don't know what exactly causes this so I just get the battery asap.

- Using a spicy spray on pikmin makes them much worse/useless at attacking certain things, like poison jets, sheargrubs, shearwigs, anode beetles, eggs and building bridges. Notice how they build the bridge leading to frontier caver, or attack the egg on HoH sublevel 15.

- Pellet posies that normally alternate color will always stay red after unlocking yellow/blue pikmin.

- Dwarf bulborbs/bulbears can't kill pikmin. They can eat and remove pikmin from the map, but the counter won't go down so you will get them back on the next sublevel.

- Bumbling and swooping snitchbugs will miss 90% of the time when they should have grabbed something.

- Dirigibugs if holding a bomb will not drop it when knocked out of the air. They will keep holding it until they die and then drop it.

- When you re-enter an area after paying off the debt, it will continue from whatever time of day it was when you last exited the day in that particular area. (notice when I go back to perplexing pool after paying off the debt)

- For whatever reason, the stats screen after paying off the debt/collecting every treasure is inaccurate, often showing that no/very few pikmin died when that is not true.

- Not a thing that needs to be fixed, but pikmin drown 2x as fast in this mod so certain speedrun strats don't work.
