I'd argue no. The trick required to complete the game in 9 days is incredibly difficult, and so far only one of the game's top speedrunners has been able to pull it off, and that's with the 5 extra minutes ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''{{'s}} Normal mode provides. For most people, it's far more useful to see instructions on how to complete the game in 10 days, compared to instructions on completing the game in 9. Obviously the 9-day run should be mentioned, but it shouldn't be the focus of the article. Now, it is true that ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} [[5 day run|low-day completion article]] has been renamed multiple times as glitches have reduced the minimum number of days to collect all treasures. But the difference there is that ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} low-day run has always been difficult and impractical, and the added glitches have only made it more so. ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} 10-day run is much easier and a more integral part of the game, considering it's informed by the basic structure of the game and even acknowledged by the in-game global leaderboard. In my opinion, this article should stay as [[10 day run]] and not be renamed.

Day 5 Glitch
The glitch used in the Pikmin 3 version of the guide is not documented in the wiki. I can't say I'm familiar with it either. Could someone else check to see if it is a real glitch? If so, it should be documented in Glitches in Pikmin 3. Then that sub-section can be linked back here for anyone who needs a more detailed or visual guide to properly pull the glitch off. --TundraDragon (talk) 18:15, May 15, 2021 (EDT)
Renaming to 9 day run
It's official: 10 days is no longer the minimum number of days to complete Pikmin 3. It's now possible to collect the 2 underwater fruits in the Twilight River on the same day as the rest of the fruits in the area, bringing the minimum number of days to 9. Should this article be changed to reflect this?
I'd argue no. The trick required to complete the game in 9 days is incredibly difficult, and so far only one of the game's top speedrunners has been able to pull it off, and that's with the 5 extra minutes Pikmin 3 Deluxe's Normal mode provides. For most people, it's far more useful to see instructions on how to complete the game in 10 days, compared to instructions on completing the game in 9. Obviously the 9-day run should be mentioned, but it shouldn't be the focus of the article. Now, it is true that Pikmin 2's low-day completion article has been renamed multiple times as glitches have reduced the minimum number of days to collect all treasures. But the difference there is that Pikmin 2's low-day run has always been difficult and impractical, and the added glitches have only made it more so. Pikmin 3's 10-day run is much easier and a more integral part of the game, considering it's informed by the basic structure of the game and even acknowledged by the in-game global leaderboard. In my opinion, this article should stay as 10 day run and not be renamed. What do you think? — Soprano(talk) 18:55, June 16, 2022 (EDT)
