blackmage200, here comes the counterstrike...

FN - 405

I tweaked my 401 strat to be able to get the two flowers in the puffstool area, and then had a nice run. I was right where I needed at noon and then the final part went so smooth I had everything in with 4 ticks to spare. I think I can up this to 410, but I would need a similar run mixed with some luck.

Now here's the preemptive strike...

FN - 410

This run was sweet. I have found that the only way I can have a chance at getting the last three 20's in on time is if I'm putting my 10 yellows on the bridge to the pearl at noon. This run I was all the way to the red 20 when the noon bell went off, so that enabled me to easily get the extra 5 pellet in.

blackmage, I don't know how much I have left in the tank. There are two 5's still out there and a blue 1, that would make 422, but I don't see how to get them yet...

Dang it, it always seems like as soon as I find a high score rankings thing for a game I have, it has already been going on forever.

It happened to me with Home-Run Contest on Super Smash Bros Melee, with Super Monkey Ball, and now with Pikmin. I'm just too slow to keep up ^ . ^
From: Rouge7 | Posted: 8/1/2002 1:00:14 PM | Message Detail
Sotek252, don't be discouraged. The leader board was expanded to a top 15 just recently. I would post some scores...

blackmage200, I've been working on 420 for FN. I know it can be done because I had a 405 run with a fairly big mistake in it and still had three 5's all at least in the onion area. Have you made any progress?

Everyone else, where are you? What's going on with the DVD, challenge mode walkthrough, etc...

Ok, I only have 2 scores that make the top15 right now. These are according to the last update so I'm not sure if they are still records or not.

Forest Naval - 172 ===== 15th place
Distant Spring - 215 ===== 14th place

All the other levels I don't have really good scores on right now.

I just found out there is a Pearl in Distant Springs so I had to go and get it. And of course, I also had to post my new score too...

Distant Springs - 259 ===== 12th place

By the way, does anybody know of a site that has some medium difficulty strats for Challenge Mode? I don't want to try the really hard ones that get posted quite yet.

DVD update!

SnapDragon is sending me his FoH and FN runs, both of which contain the high scores for those levels (so far: FoH is maxxed, and FN probably isn't max-able but Snap is still a long way ahead of anyone else).

Ferret, if you're out there, your 582 seems to be the high-water mark for DS. If you think that's it, any chance you could mail me the tape? I can send it back after I rip it.

I just ordered a 25-pack of DVD-Rs for about $50 shipped, about $2 each. That's low enough that I can start monkeying with it and not feel too bad if I burn a few coasters while I learn.

Progress will be slow - it's probably a couple of months from being real, but I am planning to go ahead with it, and if it all works, I'll be happy to make copies for people who want them. Looks like media and postage costs will come to $5 or less, so figure somewhere around there for people who just want me to burn a copy and mail it to them. If I get bazillions of requests, I might have to ask some other folks to get their copies and then help out with burning further copies.

More as warranted,

TM

Finally...

FN - 420

It seems like I have to have a "learn a lesson" run before I can hit my goals on this level. This time, I had a 414 run that was nice, but I ran out of blues at the end and in my panic I flat out forgot to get the last blue 5 and was unable to find the blue 1 that I just put a red on until it was too late (that's why it was 414 instead of the nice round 415). The lesson was I needed to get the blue 10 moving before the yellow 20 in the puffstool area. I made this change and when I was ready for the final blues, the blue 10 was back and I used those pikmin.

blackmage, I think that's it. All that's left is that stupid blue 1 near the yellow 10 out behind the first blue 10. There doesn't seem like a good time to get this, I tried to get it at the end of the 420 run, but the countdown was down to 4 or so and it had no chance. Looks like I need a vastly different strat to go any further...

Just wondering... maybe it would be a guide idea if some of you veterans could post guides for getting a high Pikmin count... like each of you taking an area to write a guide for challenge mode on. It would be a big help to those with less experience like me. Just an idea.

Razor Leaf, there is a challenge mode walkthrough in the works that Xe123 is organizing, he's still waiting on some submissions. In the meantime, if you want to go back through this board, I know you'll find my walkthrough for FN and a link to Tomatoman's IS walkthrough. I know Ahlyis has one for FT either here or on a similar topic, check something like, "Can somebody make a challenge mode walkthrough". Sotek252 has suggested a medium difficulty walkthrough that I think is a good idea...

I didn't do as good as I thought I'd be, all blues is my thing, but it's just a bit tricky, as some times you need yellows. I got one pearl before my yellows died a horrible, icky, sticky, gruesome death.

I have this on tape also, and this run was cleaner than the 420 I got on tape. Getting that last blue 1 proved to be pretty simple once I figured it out.

The latest leaderboad has some of my scores wrong. I have a 492 on the Forest of Hope and it is listed under the Distant Spring, my high for DS is only 464

Apologies Rogue7 - i guess i missed that - it only affects your position on DS, so apologies to Nathan Ian Bowers who should be above you.

Shadow Ninja Guy, don't get worried by not being able to get 300+ on FoH. I couldn't until about a month ago.

Make sure you're getting 80 odd pikmin to attack with and make sure you're getting at least 1 pearl of the 2. Keep trying - i still am.

Rogue7, will your 422 run for FN be available for download - i really wanna see it.

Lewellyn, my brother runs a website and I've asked him to put my video on it. The other project I want him to help me with is making a copy of the 422 & 420 runs with audio commentary (the 420 is more interesting because I make a lot of little mistakes). If you want, e-mail me your address and when I get a regular copy I can mail it to you...
