An '''Onionless''' playthrough is when the player must never withdraw Pikmin out of an [[Onion]] (including the [[Hocotate ship]] in {{p2}}). This means that when Pikmin enter an Onion, they will never be seen again in the playthrough, and the player effectively starts with 0 Pikmin when landing in a new [[area]]. In the first 3 games, a handful of glitches are required in order to complete the challenge.

There are a few obstacles in an Onionless playthrough in this game. First of all, the Red Onion must produce a sprout on day 2, and when arriving in [[Awakening Wood]]. Otherwise, the player will be unable to obtain Pikmin for the rest of the playthrough. In order to start day 2 with 0 Red Pikmin, a [[glitch]] called "day 1 extinction" is required.{{cite youtube|IieBje4CqMo|of day 1 extinction}} Also, in order to arrive in the Awakening Wood with 0 Red Pikmin, all of the player's Red Pikmin must be killed, or converted to Purple Pikmin. Lastly, the player must grow 100 Purple Pikmin in 1 day in order to collect [[Doomsday Apparatus]]. Doing this is not hard, it simply requires the player to visit [[Cavern of Chaos]] 20 times, which is tedious, but doable.

In this game, a deathless Onionless run is impossible. There is no way to make progress in the [[Garden of Hope]] if there are Red Pikmin in the Onion. However, because "AshEevee" found a way to kill Pikmin on day 1,{{cite youtube|5Z7KuPo76I4|of killing Pikmin on day 1 in ''Pikmin 3''}} an Onionless playthrough is still possible. On day 1, the player can remove all obstacles to the ship, then kill all of their Pikmin. Unlike the 2 previous games, the Onion will make a sprout immediately, but the player must leave it behind so that they can have a red sprout in the Garden of Hope. Going forward, it's best to leave all Pikmin buried or left behind at the end of each day, so that the player can start each new area with 1 of each type of Pikmin sprout. The [[Formidable Oak]] proves to be a challenge, because the player starts with 5 Pikmin, and there is no way to grow more. However, if the player uses the Candypop Buds inside the oak, the player can cause extinctions for the different types of Pikmin, making the Onion produce more.

A full playthrough has been completed by "JHawk" in 10 in-game days.{{cite youtube|8vHA2-mKye0|of ''Pikmin 3'' Onionless all fruits in 10 days}} All fruits can still be collected in the optimal number of days under the Onionless restriction. "JHawk" uses various [[glitches]] to save time, mostly ones that also appear in speedruns of this game, such as clipping leaders through walls, or charging Winged Pikmin at fruits in high places. Regardless, [[Garden of Hope]] and [[Tropical Wilds]] were tight on time, he says. However, [[Formidable Oak]] was the most difficult day, as he only obtained 18 Pikmin from farming extinctions, and it takes about half of the day to even start the boss battle, leaving only the other half of the day to beat the boss with very few Pikmin. Technically, it's also possible to complete the game Onionless in 7 in-game days, though this follows from simply playing the first 6 days like in JHawk's playthrough, then completing [[Formidable Oak]] on day 7 in the same way as day 10 of the playthrough.

Oatchi is heavily utilized here as you can’t withdraw pikmin from the onion.
[[Oatchi]] is heavily utilized here. Collecting Onions is recommended so when the day starts, the player can replenish Pikmin numbers quickly. Note that if Oatchi carries something to the Onion, it will always sprout Pikmin of the scarcest type that has an Onion integrated.
Collecting Onions is recommended so when the day starts, you can replenish pikmin numbers quickly, be cautious of the fact that Oatchi will only grant pikmin to the type with the lowest amount
