It is possible to acquire 1200 Sparklium on Day 2. This objective is somewhat strict, but managing this objective will allow the player to visit [[Blossoming Arcadia]] on Day 3, providing greater opportunities to raise Pup Drive, Sparklium and Raw Materials, which will make the second day of Sun-Speckled Terrace easier for those completing a completion-based low-day run. It is not a mandatory objective, but it is worth considering. | It is possible to acquire 1200 Sparklium on Day 2.

* To access the [[Primordial Thicket]], it is required to end the day spent in Giant's Hearth with a total of 13000 Sparklium across all areas, and both [[Don Bergman]] and [[Yorke]] must be rescued. Yorke will always be found at the Dandori Battle, while Don Bergman will always be first of the castaways found at the bottom of one of the three caves- either dropped by the [[Mammoth Snootwhacker]] in [[Dream Home]], dropped by the [[Man-at-Legs]] in [[Ultimate Testing Range]], or buried on sublevel 3 in [[Cradle of the Beast]]. Neither requires a dose of glow sap. | * To access the [[Primordial Thicket]], it is required to end the day spent in Giant's Hearth with a total of 13000 Sparklium across all areas, and both [[Don Bergman]] and [[Yorke]] must be rescued.

Choosing the right upgrades from Russ can give you an edge in your run. The following benchmarks must be met to acquire them: | |||
* [[Charging Horn]] (450 Sparklium): Charging Pikmin onto an object is faster than individual throwing. | |||
* [[Treasure Gauge]] (1000 Sparklium): When the treasure gauge powers stops blinking, all treasures have been retrieved. This can be used as a good visual cue when going through caves in a hurry, but other visual cues are available. Costs 40 Sparklium. | |||
* [[Ice Blast]] (1500 Sparklium): Can be used to temporarily freeze lakes, allowing non-Blue Pikmin to cross them, without using up large quantities of Ice Pikmin. Important particularly for the [[Blue Onion]] in Sun-Speckled Terrace and the above-ground Flarlic in Blossoming Arcadia, and may also be used to jump up to the [[Seafloor Resort]] from the water below using Oatchi. | |||
* [[Headlamp]] (2000 Sparklium): '''Not required''', but will allow the use of Go Here in dark caves such as those found in [[Sightless Passage]] and [[Below-Grade Discotheque]]. Costs 100 Raw Material. | |||
* [[Bomb rock]] (3000 Sparklium): Required to break down reinforced walls, useful for other things. | |||
* [[Idler's Alert]] (3500 Sparklium): Generally useful. Costs 100 Raw Material. | |||
* [[Rush Boots]] (5100 Sparklium): Will make all days following their purchase that much easier. Costs 120 Raw Material and worth every lump. | |||
* [[Scorch Guard]] (Have either the player or Oatchi be set on fire): '''Required''' to visit the [[Frozen Inferno]], and any run planning to 100% that area must make sure they have unlocked and purchased it before that day. Costs 150 Raw Material. | |||
* [[Gunk Busters]] (Encounter sticky mold or mud): Incredibly helpful when exploring the Primordial Thicket. Costs 240 Raw Material. | |||
* [[Sniff Saver]] (Have Oatchi be poisoned): Allows Oatchi to break poisonous Spotcaps, which is incredibly useful in the Primordial Thicket. Costs 100 Raw Material. | |||
