=== Day 2: [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] === | === Day 2: [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] === | ||
The first timed day must be completed in the Sun-Speckled Terrace. At this stage | The first timed day must be completed in the Sun-Speckled Terrace. At this stage of the game, [[Oatchi]] is still in his small form, and the player also cannot construct [[clay]] structures yet. This blocks many areas of the Terrace from being accessed, chief among them being the [[Dandori Battle]] cave, required to reach Hero's Hideaway. As a result, all low-day completions must spend at least one additional day here, and thus the pressure to collect as much as possible is lesser as a result. There are, however, some objectives that should be completed. | ||
* [[Russ]] must be rescued. The first castaway you find will always be Russ, but there are only two possible castaways to rescue- the one in [[Last-Frost Cavern]] and the one in [[Crackling Cauldron]]. Either will do, but one must be done. | * [[Russ]] must be rescued.

* [[Ice Pikmin|Ice]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]] should be discovered. 10 Ice Pikmin can be found in Last-Frost Cavern, and 5 can be found on future visits, while 20 Yellow Pikmin can be found in Crackling Cauldron per visit. A single visit to each cave should offer sufficient numbers for the first day. | * [[Ice Pikmin|Ice]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]] should be discovered. 10 Ice Pikmin can be found in Last-Frost Cavern, and 5 can be found on future visits, while 20 Yellow Pikmin can be found in Crackling Cauldron per visit.

=== Pup Drive === | |||
There is a limited amount of Pup Drive available over the course of a low-day run, particularly since the Pup Drive gained from curing leaflings with glow sap is not available. This means that focusing on the most useful demands is of utmost importance. | |||
* Command Lv. 2: This enables the Go Here! command, an essential for optimising multitasking. Requires 3 Pup Drive. | |||
* Super Buff Lv. 2: Completing [[Leafy Showdown]] is mandatory, meaning an Oatchi strong enough to carry the weight of a Golden Sniffer can come in handy, in addition to its use collecting other treasures. Requires 6 Pup Drive. | |||
* Super Buff Lv. 3, Swallow: The extra stage, for collecting 100 weight objects, is more useful for All Areas than it is for those that seek only to reach the credits. Requires 8 Pup Drive. | |||
* Doggy-Paddle Lv. 3: Allowing Oatchi to operate underwater allows Blue Pikmin to work elsewhere, or not even be called at all. Only appears on Day 5. Requires 4 Pup Drive. | |||
* Pluck Lv. 1: Giving Oatchi the ability to pluck increases your options for plucking wild Pikmin found in caves. Requires 1 Pup Drive. | |||

This alone will only be worth 1130 Sparklium. To gain the last 70 Sparklium, enemy corpses must be obtained. The enemies in the Last-Frost Cavern are worth 11 Sparklium total, and the ones in Crackling Cauldron 29 total. After gathering each corpse in the first runs of each cave, either three additional runs of Last-Frost Cavern are necessary, or a second run of Crackling Cauldron plus one run of either cave. | This alone will only be worth 1130 Sparklium.

Although the tactical implications are great, there are strong downsides to attempting this route. This will make it difficult, if not impossible, to acquire three [[Bomb rock]]s to blow up the reinforced wall and complete the [[Dandori Challenge]] in the west of Blossoming Arcadia on Day 3, necessitating a second visit to that area. As a result, the All Areas Complete Low Day cannot make use of this route.

Additionally, unless 3600 Sparklium is acquired on Day 3- a strict but achievable goal- the Rush Boots will not be available until after Day 4. Even more importantly, Oatchi will not have access to Doggy Paddle for the day in Blossoming Arcadia, requiring one or multiple extra Ice Bombs in order to navigate the Misshapen Pond effectively. | ||
