Pikmin 4 was played blind in this run, and I'd set it up to play it at the earliest possible moment by preloading it from the Australian eShop. As a result, the run started around 1:00 PM EST on July 19th, 2023. After sleeping that night, the Pikmin 4 portion of the run started at 10:00 AM on the 20th, and concluded about 35 hours later, with another session of sleep in the middle. These sessions of sleep are counted towards my run time.

The run actually continued past that point, because I opted to play Olimar's Shipwreck Tale and the Leaf Sage Trials afterwards, just in case those ended up also being part of the run. I wanted to be sure I did absolutely everything that could possibly be part of this run, so that all this effort didn't end with it being rejected because I missed something. But 54:37:55 is the point that the run would have ended, had I somehow already known the rules. (And then an hour of break time is taken off of that)
