Blowhogs doubly suck (or is that suck AND blow?) because in addition to be disruptive as gently caress they also turn flower Pikmin back to leaf.

Near as I can tell she was absolutely on track to get it done in 8 days until blowhog showed up. They could not have possibly been blown into worse places too. That sucks

It gets even worse in two where Withering Blowhogs purposefully blow the flowers off your Pikmin and then LAUGH AT YOU! :(

Every Pikmin game has to have a some sort of bizarre clip that I don't know why it works but it does

The issue with Pikmin 1 is that the enemies are programmed way smarter than the Pikmin, or so I thought until now

It isn't even errors, its enemies being as trolly as possible.

9 days single segment is still fuckin craziness, especially at a marathon.

What exactly happened to make it go over the estimate? I've never played Pikmin, but from the comments I assume it was just bad luck with enemies?

Puffy blowhog went 'gently caress your poo poo' and absolutely demolished the run.

It then decided to give a parting shot by blowing the flowers off her Pikmin right before she left Distant Spring, too.

There are enemies that grab pikmin and plant them in the ground, and one was over water making it hard to fight. Then a blowhog, an enemy that scatters your pikmin, stalked her and kept loving her up as she tried to get a piece.

Also another enemy hosed up an out of bounds by clipping over terrain, something they'd hadn't seen before.

I'd never think to do it, I love Pikmin but controlling all of them as they trip and do their own thing when they see grass would drive me up a wall. Too much random bullshit.

She was leaving chunks of Pikmin left and right and forgetting what she was doing that the dude kept reminding her about early on.

I was hoping this was going to be in-line with the 100 Pikmin 9 Day Challenge, but then she started letting Pikmin die and that's rear end.

Back when I beat this game it took me a whole (in-game) day to open up the path to the final boss, a whole day to fight him, and a third day to collect the piggy bank, so that Final Trial just now was pretty tight.

It was on track to finish on time but all it took was two very, very bad enemy placements in the same area not even killing Pikmin but simply interrupting their movement for about ~30 seconds to completely trash the route.

8 days is considered the most marathon-safe and consistent route and even THAT'S still crazy volatile--Emily holds the 8 day WR

It's probably due to me watching the stream during nights mostly, but the at-venue crowd has seemed a bit thinner this time around. :(

Also they're gonna be able to raise over $200,000 in one day, right? :ohdear:
