==Don't overburden yourself==
Although it may make the next few days a little easier, killing all the enemies in the level or trying to kill multiple bosses in one day will likely result in multiple resets and frustration. If you end the day often, you won't lose as much progress should you have to reset the day. Be careful not to reset too often, or else the days will pass faster than what is recommended, and you'll find yourself with only a few days left until a game over.

If you end the day often, you won't lose as much progress should you have to reset the day. Despite that, be careful when ending the day early, as it's entirely possible to run out of days and get a Game Over in the [[Pikmin (game)|first]] and [[Pikmin 3|third]] installments.


==Use leaders==
==Use leaders==
The leaders' [[punch]] can take out most of the threatening non-boss enemies rather efficiently. Just be sure to avoid taking too much damage (although this applies less to [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]] due to the ability to heal at [[S.S. Dolphin|the Dolphin]]). Leaders can run around the sublevels of later caves to activate any traps and assess the dangers within the sublevel.
The leaders' [[punch]] can kill most non-boss enemies rather efficiently, especially after recovering the [[Brute Knuckles]] and unlocking the [[Rocket Fist]] in [[Pikmin 2|the second game.]] It is entirely possible for the two leaders to clean out entire sublevels while placing the Pikmin in no direct harm. While Olimar can heal himself in the first game by interacting with the S.S Dolphin, the leaders in ''Pikmin 2'' are not given this luxury, requiring care to be taken when battling with just the leaders, lest one of them go down.

==Use sprays==
==Use sprays==
In [[Pikmin 2|the second game]], sprays are acceptably common, doubly so if you use the spray glitch mentioned above. Do not be afraid to use an ultra-bitter spray to defeat an enemy like a [[Fiery Bulblax]], even if you need to spend an extra day at the [[Perplexing Pool]] in order to obtain more. Ultra-spicy sprays are less helpful, but can still be used to defeat a boss enemy faster.

==Salvage corpses==
In [[Cave|caves]], enemy carcasses yield little [[Pokos]], but in abundant quantities, can be quite rewarding. If you are trying to pay off the debt quickly, be sure to carry any defeated creatures back to the [[Hocotate ship#Research Pod|Research Pod]]. When amassed, their total earnings can make all the difference.
