Challenge run: Difference between revisions

{{p2}} has an in-game time counter that displays the time it took to repay the debt or to collect all treasures on the [[high scores menu]]. The game only begins counting time when when a [[saved game]] is loaded, and writes the time when it is saved. Because the time it saves is only saved with the granularity of a minute, if a player saves the game within one minute of loading it and then loads the newly-saved save game, the timer will keep the same number of minutes on record and assume no time has passed. This means the final result may not match the real time the playthrough took, and can be abused to get times as low as 18 minutes for an all-treasure completion.{{cite youtube|KCxmtdn_PhQ|of a low in-game time run of ''Pikmin 2'' with a 23 minute result}}{{cite youtube|fpVKMgk7RwM|completing sublevel 3 of the [[White Flower Garden]] in under a minute}}{{cite youtube|6-tMPXP69JY|m=10|s=36|demonstrating a change in the low-in-game-time route involving the [[Temporal Mechanism]], [[Pink Menace]], and [[Spiny Alien Treat]]}}{{cite youtube|nMSybTmlERo|of a tool-assisted speedrun completing sublevel 2 of the [[Submerged Castle]] in under 2 minutes}}{{cite youtube|3Ni0ro_9Zeg|of a tool-assisted speedrun completing sublevel 5 of the [[Subterranean Complex]] in under 1 minute}}{{cite youtube|XKwnXSBlyGU|of a tool-assisted speedrun completing sublevel 5 of the [[White Flower Garden]] in under 1 minute}}
