Escaping the Tutorial Area? | Pikmin 3 Glitches

Update as of 08/24/2024.
I went back and tried a couple more things to be clear on what worked and what didn't. I found one singular new thing, that unfortunately led nowhere. If you do NOT kill the Vehemoth Phosbat, but trigger the cutscene for the first appearance for the boss (by connecting the bulb with the yellows in the room where Charlie's day ends), and then you make your way back to that room, the cutscene for Charlie being eaten immediately plays.
Right afterwards, you go to Alph. However, Alph's day is bugged, where it's post-day 1 tropical wilds, with Brittany (even with Brittany, there's nothing special you can do. I tried. I even went back to the landing site). So it seems like triggering literally any cutscene out of order breaks the game, making you unable to progress.
Additionally, entering and leaving the exit of the starting cave for Alph's area crashes the game after a short dialogue, whether you skip the cutscene or not.

Unfortunately, seems like it's pretty hard to sequence break in regards to Day 1, because if you do, you're bricked. Really unfortunate, but the trick is hard to pull off in the first place, so maybe better to not destroy people's thumbs.

There's various things that weren't tested or not reported on in this video.
You CAN clip out of bounds with a snitchbug after getting multiple captains, so it may be possible to keep a glitched onion.

A cutscene occurs when you leave Brittany's cave for the first time. If you don't skip it, the game crashes when it pans over to see Alph, because he's not there.

Landing in Tropical Wilds and going into and back out of the first loading zone to the drake (first sunset after Alph's tutorial day) will crash the game.
The area in which red pikmin are initially found is replaced by a fruit and bulborbs, but interestingly the bridge pieces are still there.

Garden of Hope is unplayable without any pikmin. With, it's unknown if you could get access to rock pikmin.

First time using many options in Premiere, sorry if it's a bit scuffed in portions. Tried to speed up to save time.
