I'm just a little curious what people have
achieved in Challenge Mode so far. I haven't really tried seriously,
and probably won't, but I got a 202 on Impact Site. Anybody willing
to beat this? |

Oh god, not another game for SnapDragon to
compete at.... >_<
^_^
I've only tried it once,
and I got 78 on Impact Site. I'll probably try it again sometime...

LOL... yeah, here I am competing yet again, but
not too seriously. :) 219 on Impact Site is sweet, Mythos! Way to
go! I've been playing a ton of SSBM, but maybe I'll come back to
Pikmin and try all the levels. |

Haha. Not even close... I found it really
difficult to get all three 20s and all three 10s in one day, but I
finally got lucky and managed it. You must have some great Pikmin
organizational skills. :)
By the way, <bump>. Might as
well keep this topic alive. |

Well Snap, it wasn't always like that. At the
beginning I was only seperating with X button, I found that I was
severely limiting my capabilities. Since it may not be so obvious to
everyone, allow me to clear it up.
When you have a big group
of Pikmin and you only want to throw one particular colour, walk
over one of the preferred colours (your cursor colour, and the
pikmin 'bubble' at the bottom of the screen will say what colour
you're about to throw) and press and hold the A button, they will
sort out into their own ranks without leaving your command. It also
makes it easier to switch to another colour after doing this. Oh,
and this may just be common sense, but try going for the bigger
pellets first.
Basically, my strategy for starting a level
is getting at least 30 of each colour (while upgrading to flower at
every chance) and then going for the far away pellets first. It
doesn't matter if you don't have enough of one colour (unless the
pellet is surrounded by flames, water, or a high ledge.) You can
always sort out the pellets back at base. Oh yeah, and once you have
the 30 each, don't bother pulling anymore pikmin, it just wastes
time. Anything over 100 automatically gets stored into the onions.
Hope somebody found at least some part of this mini-faq
useful. Say, maybe I should write one. --- "Fantasize Marge...

Well, I find that an extra 10 guys following you
around doesn't hurt, but I'll only do it if all of my guys are
carrying. While I wait for them to get back to the Onion, I'll pull
the ones that are planted, and then I'll be able to carry more per
trip. It doesn't help a lot, of course, but every little bit
helps...

True... I did say "at least" 30 of each colour.
That way you can get hard to reach number 20 pellets if need be and
some 5's or a 10 on the way. Naturally, it's totally modifiable. For
example, on Impact, an even number is really good, but for the
enemy-intense maps, more reds will certainly help. |

Got a couple of competitive scores: Impact
Site - 224 Forest of Hope - 412
Right now I'm thinking of
optimizing the main game. I've somehow managed to get 5 parts and
140 Pikmin (most flowers) after the first two days; in theory, maybe
getting 30 parts in 9 days is possible! Tough, though. |

Hey Alex and Liqwid, thanks for the words! I'm
glad that I was able to shed a bit of light onto challenge mode. As
for the challenge mode score, 235 is definetely not unbeatable, but
I'm still more interested in surpassing Snap's 412 Hope score, and
his 9 day record.
As of yet, I haven't played for a while,
but I think this is a worthy thread to keep alive. |

I believe there's a maximum Number of Pikmin in
each stage, since there's only so many pellets/enemies. Thus, there
is a strategy for getting what's worth the most, and getting it
faster, evading the worthless enemies and defeating others quickly
without any lossess. Since there's a maximum, I'm going to go
through each level with just Olimar to see what there is, and count
up the maximum possible Pikmin Count at the end of the day to report
them (surely people won't try to claim anything much higher than
these!)

Ok, I've finished working on all 5 levels...
that was fun! Here are my scores, all on tape.
Impact Site -
238 Forest of Hope - 438 Forest Navel - 314 Distant Spring
- 380 Final Trial - 290
Final Trial is a FUN one... with a
fair bit of work, I've developed a strategy that lets me get every
single enemy and Pellet (delivered to the proper colour) in the
level! The only way to improve my score is to lose fewer Pikmin. And
for my 290, I managed to only lose 10 or so, so it'll be tough to
improve. I think this one will make a great movie.
I think
that's it for me until somebody beats my scores. Get working!
:)
Myst: That's a good idea, but I doubt anyone will ever get
all the pellets and enemies except on Final Trial and (perhaps...?)
Impact Site. Also, from what I can tell, you can knock a number of
pellets out of the Flint Beetle before it goes under. (The 1st and
3rd times you hit it are both pellets) There's a limit to how often
you can do this, of course, but I don't know what it is, and it
would probably be impractical on a real run. |

Well, I certainly have my work cut out for me.
Of course, I'm glad to have great pikmin counts to work up to!
Oh, and btw, has anyone else had recurring dreams where
you're a pikmin and there was no one around to pull you out of the
ground? Scares the heck outta me. |
