Pikmin 1: Setup for area cutscene skip in Forest of Hope

Timesave estimate lies at:

Time saved = (Cutscene skip timesave) - 8 seconds

My estimate for timesave, with 2 out of 3 part collect cutscenes and the area cutscene skipped, is 23 seconds. If you get all skips, it will save up to 30 seconds. Even if you only get 1 part cutscene skip, it should be about even with the current route.

It's hard to properly estimate the timeloss. The elements of timeloss are: Throwing the pikmin up sooner (increases distance you must walk), very slight timeloss in killing the sheargrubs, and time spent waiting at the ship for parts to arrive.

I hope you understand how cutscene skips save time. They save more than 7 seconds per part cutscene, and about 15 seconds per area cutscene skip. The timeloss in doing these is if you are not frame perfect, and bring up some extra textboxes. This will lose about 1.5 seconds per extra textbox.

It's incredibly inconsistent, however, since you have to go very fast to make it back to stop the nova blaster (risking yellow death) and then you must go very fast to beat the radar back to the ship.

I should add, in the current route, you can do what I do with the nova blaster but instead of calling the pikmin off, skip the part cutscene. This however is outweighed by the potential timesave later. If you don't feel like going for what I do in this video fully, you can still save a little time by attempting to skip nova blaster's cutscene alone.

I believe it is worth the risk for the timesave. Therefore forest of hope is now even more inconsistent. Enjoy! :)

(By the way, I fumbled collecting the nova blaster. Now I know it's faster to just whistle all 50 and collect the NB as soon as you can.)
