Released in December 2001, Pikmin is a unique real-time strategy type of game. Captain Olimar, no bigger than a quarter, has crash landed on a planet and in a month will die from oxygen poisoning. He finds strange creatures who grow in the ground and names them Pikmin, then calls upon them to help reassemble his broken space ship.

Let's start out with big congratulations to Sess, who finally found a way to crack DS and bring it down to 2 days. I believe he was also the first one to officially complete this challenge all the way through. My strategies for days 5 and 7 in the Distant Spring are based almost entirely on his.

This only took a few days to produce, and most of the runs are very nice. Due to many complaints, I didn't spin the camera rapidly for these runs when I had time to kill (I do, however, change the camera angle a lot-that's just the way I play).

The two hardest runs are days 3 and 5. This run of day 3 was not quite as smooth as the day 3 of the 10/50 taping (which was pretty much flawless), but its passable. This run of day 5 turned out very well though (although the level had to be replayed many, many times due to the random factors of the Snitchbugs).

Well, that about covers it. Enjoy.
