Here we are. It's all been leading up to this. Soon I will be the first person to beat pikmin 1 with only red pikmin! Countless hours of theorising and glitch hunting to increase the maximum amount, and now 30/30 is possible. In this series I will show the modern strategy to collect all parts with only reds.

Distant spring has the highest number of obstacles per part, each part has at least one non-standard trick to collect it, in fact all but one them have at least 2 tricks. It’s only natural DS takes the most number of days to complete.

Sometimes a part will clip through the floor due to a sudden application of some force, such as a hitbox from a bridge or bulbear. How it behaves out of bounds is something I've started calling a part warp. I don't know properly how it works, but parts can reappear above ground after a short time, either exactly where it clipped into the ground or, much more usefully, somewhere completely different, like the other side of a gate, or near the landing site. I used this phenomenon a lot for parts in DS.

The distant spring clear was a frustrating one. Lots of individual parts require part pushing. Since my original strategies, I've heavily reduced the distance to push (with better waypoint displacement locations) and the effort required (using object to indirectly push denser parts).

I think I've discovered that my least favourite thing is trying to push parts through gates with wollywogs. I could have finished DS 1-2 days faster if I had gotten PS, ZR and IJ2 through the gate in a single day. After a little while of trying I decided to just continue 1 day slower than it would have been. The low-day completion doesn't matter terribly to me at the moment. I don't expect I will try to lower the human day count completion from 24, which it will be.
