Hello Everyone!
I Just wanted to make a thread about pikmin speedrunning and everything you should know.
Gc Vs Wii
The Gc and Wii versions have similar routes but are different because of the wii versions ability to throw pikmin farther. EX: getting Sagittarius on day 2 with 8/9 day route
Throwing
In Gc it is faster to throw by swarming the pikmin around you with c-stick and mashing the A button. On Wii there is two options: One, you can run around inside your pikmin army and mash A or you can C-throw(using down arrow)
NTSC vs PAL vs NTSC-J
in pal version the game runs at 50 fps so the days go by slower but tasks and movement are also slower. In Japanese version the secret safe weighs 85 instead of 40 and the days are slightly longer.

There is a playlist made by Captainx24 on youtube for pikmin speedruns: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbLfswHl_MIJ5-tAHplI1WpzXv9ijT3PN this playlist even includes a tutorial
Terms
MD-mysterious Death; refers to when a pikmin dies randomly (usually when swarming an enemy) This may also mess with the pikmin counter
c-throwing-using the c-stick to throw faster
water wall- the gate in forest of hope that requires blue pikmin but can be broken down with bomb rocks
IS-impact site
FOH-forest of hope
FN-forest navel
DS-distant spring
FT-final trial
Other things to know
the game can be completed in 6 in game days
leaderboards: speedrun.com/pikmin
World Record: 1:02:53 (6 days) by iid01 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjSdmy6bNF0
There is a TAS for this game
This is just the basic information you need to know about speedrunning all parts. Feel free to ask me questions or add something yourself. Hope you found any of this useful.
