Red Pikmin Only: Secret Safe Collection Method (THEORY)
35I would like to stress this is not a part collection in the legitimate manner.
I used the moonjump cheat to access the ledge to push a bomb down. This simulates a bomb spawning on the lower, accessible ledge. Therefore this cannot be accepted as a full run. It is just a demonstration of the theory.
It IS possible for a bomb to naturally spawn on the lower ledge. This is an incredibly rare occurrence. It has happened to me once ever and I only know of one other instance where it was lower.
Supposing the bomb is lower you can push it to the edge then use it to clip up there. This clip is very very finnicky. Using savestates, I as able to do this a few times but without them i may have struggled. Before I give this a real attempt on console, I will need to figure out a more consistent spot to do the clip.
Anyway, that was the important discovery that enabled us to reach the ledge, pikminless. Killing bulblax is the next phase. This isn't necessarily easy. I only have one shot, so in the real run I will be more careful to have a maximum of 60 deaths (I will have 100 pikmin in the fight). I have plenty of time to do this, as I was done with day 19 way before sunset.
I needed to bypass the stone gate somehow. The next phase was to push the SS into the water, waypoint reset it and then push it in front of the bridge which in turn pushes it onto dry land. You cannot push the safe around the bomb side as the slope is too great. My original idea was to push the safe around to the fire geyser side and then eventually the pikmin would carry it the correct direction. This too proved impossible as I was unable to push it up the slight slopes. I managed to push it further than I thought, using the pikmin carrying olimar and pushing uphill against another slope. To my dismay it didn't work. I expect TAS can collect SS in a day, but I chose to waypoint reset it and finish up.
Please excuse the laggy cutscenes and menus, this was obviously done on emulator.
