[[File:7dayrun.jpg|thumb|250px|A completed 7 day run.]]
The '''7 day run''' is a [[challenge run]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that involves progressing through the game's major objectives as quickly as possible to reach the end of the game in just 7 in-game [[day]]s. Collecting all 66 [[fruit]]s is not possible in this time, as at least 3 more days are required to 100% the game (see [[10 day run]]). Fruit is only necessary to collect for survival purposes and it's possible to finish the game having only collected a single fruit (the [[Crimson Banquet]]). However, any combination of fruits is allowed and up to the player. This run can be done in conjunction with a [[zero death run]], [[42 Pikmin run]], or both.

== Strategies ==
While this run can be completed using intended strategies, doing so is very difficult. [[Sequence break]]s can make certain parts of this challenge much faster. Examples include:
* Skipping building the bridge in the [[Distant Tundra]] by climbing out of bounds and pushing down the [[iron ball]], or alternatively going straight to the boss via the back entrance.
* Clipping underneath a stationary lily pad in the [[Twilight River]] to unlock [[Winged Pikmin]] without building the cyan bridge.
* Clipping to the [[Peckish Aristocrab]] plateau in the [[Garden of Hope]] revisit to skip building the pot-shaped bridge.
* Pushing down the [[paper bag]] in the [[Formidable Oak]] by using the [[Dodge Whistle]] (in the original ''Pikmin 3'') or repeatedly [[Charge|charging]] (in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'').
