Good work. You've clearly done your research knowing my pet name for the map polygons as "floor triangles". It felt nice coming up with these strats myself, and of course the A button challenge is way harder than fewest throws so i dont blame you for not doing it. When you had issues attempting tricks, i would have been happy to go over it with you for example floor boundaries. Puffy Blowhog is easy to do 1x A by a human, BLL can probably be done 10xA with enough patience. You can do CR 0x by luring a water dumple outside it's threat range, then killing it next to the wall. It's pretty easy too.

Great video! I love seeing Pikmin challenge runs like this.

The good ending is definitely more interesting and compelling though.

Beady Longlegs has a coding to check for pikmin on it's body when all four legs are in a perfect square and if it detects one, it shakes. This means you MUST get a pikmin on it the moment AFTER it has "rested" and is starting a new walk sequence for maximum damage. This could feasibly cut down the number of throws.

I can't guarantee this is doable by a human, but *allegedly*, Beady Long Legs might be possible to reduce to just one throw. Running around its feet can change its behavior when it comes to trying to shake off pikmin, but RNG/luck is also a thing. Can definitely be done with TAS, though! Armored Cannon Beetle can be reduced to one throw and Puffy Blowhog POSSIBLY to zero throws if you lure Shearwigs over to yellow pikmin holding bomb rocks I haven't heard of anything else that might work to improve this, but subtracting 27 from your already impressively low number is nothing to shake a stick at
