I finally completed my third playthrough! I reached my goal of doing it in less than 30 days and getting every fruit. The amount of pikmin that died was admittidly high. But it's much better than my first playthrough, where the plasm wraith killed all but 12 of my pikmin. Overall this was my best playthrough. Next time I want to minimize my days, collect every fruit, and have under 100 pikmin die.
