-A '''42-Pikmin run''' is a full playthrough [[challenge run]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' with only 42 Pikmin, the minimum possible number. The game can either be minimally finished or completed to 100% with this amount. Although the heaviest object, the [[Wayward Moon]], requires 20 Pikmin to carry and no [[obstacle]] requires more than 20 Pikmin to pass, more than 20 are necessary to finish the game. This is because the player is limited to how many of a color are initially obtained or are needed to get out of a situation in which no other colors can be reached (usually in places where that color is first found). Use of [[Candypop Buds]] makes growing more Pikmin unnecessary in many cases though they are not readily available in others. A [[7-day run (Pikmin 3)|7-day run]] of this challenge has been done, while a [[10-day run]] collecting all the fruit is likely possible.
+A '''42 Pikmin challenge''' is a [[challenge run]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', in which the [[Story Mode]] must be beaten with only 42 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the minimum possible amount. The game can either be minimally finished or completed to 100% with this amount.
+Although the heaviest object, the [[Wayward Moon]], requires 20 Pikmin to carry, and no [[obstacle]] requires more than 20 Pikmin to pass, more than 20 Pikmin are necessary to finish the game. This is because the player is limited to how many Pikmin of a type are initially obtained or how many are needed to get out of a situation in which no other types can be reached (usually in places where that type is first found). The use of [[Candypop Bud]]s makes growing more Pikmin unnecessary in many cases, though they are not readily available in others.
+A [[7 day run]] of this challenge can be done, but collecting all 66 [[fruit]]s requires 11 days. A [[10 day run]] is possible with 46 Pikmin, as extra [[Blue Pikmin]] must be grown to obtain all submerged fruit in the [[Garden of Hope]]. Otherwise, the player will need an extra day in the Garden of Hope after using a Blue [[Candypop Bud]] in the [[Tropical Wilds]].__NOTOC__
 ==Requirements==
-* 20 [[Red Pikmin]] to move the [[cardboard box]] in [[Tropical Wilds]] at the beginning.
+* 20 [[Red Pikmin]] to move the [[cardboard box]] in the [[Tropical Wilds]] in the [[day 1]] tutorial.
 * 6 [[Rock Pikmin]] obtained from a [[Medusal Slurker]] in [[Garden of Hope]]. Any number of Rock Pikmin can be used to break [[crystals]] and [[Gate#Crystal wall|crystal walls]].
-* 5 [[Yellow Pikmin]]. The [[iron ball]] in the [[Distant Tundra]] cave does not need to be pushed, as it is possible to go out of bounds and escape the cave. [[Golden Candypop Buds]] can be found in the level to gain more Pikmin to complete [[Electrode|electrodes]] with. Yellow Pikmin (up to 30) obtained with Charlie at the beginning do not count and are never seen again after he is captured.
+* 5 [[Yellow Pikmin]]. While the [[iron ball]] in the cave where Yellow Pikmin are first found requires 20 Pikmin to push, it is possible to go [[out of bounds]] and escape the cave without them. Yellow [[Candypop Buds]] can be found elsewhere in the [[Distant Tundra]] to gain more Yellow Pikmin to complete [[Electrode|electrodes]] with. Note that it is possible to skip activating the Yellow Onion, and as a result complete the game with 37 Pikmin remaining, though the 5 Yellow Pikmin given to the player are still used.{{cite youtube|AtKi2VM1ivM|demonstrating the Yellow Onion skip|published={{date|13|January|2021}}|retrived={{date|15|January|2021}}}} While up to 30 Yellow Pikmin are obtained with Charlie in the day 1 tutorial, these Pikmin do not count and are never seen again after Charlie is captured.
-* 10 [[Winged Pikmin]] to lift the [[Flukeweed|flukeweeds]] on the stick blocking the lilypads in [[Twilight River]]. No [[Pink Candypop Bud]] is found until [[Formidable Oak]], so 10 must be grown. This amount is sufficient for lifting any [[Gate#Bamboo gate|bamboo gates]] and [[Clipboard|clipboards]] also.
+* 10 [[Winged Pikmin]] to lift the [[dam]] blocking the lily pads in the [[Twilight River]]. No Winged [[Candypop Bud]] is found until [[Formidable Oak]], so 10 must be grown. This amount is sufficient for lifting any [[Gate#Bamboo gate|bamboo gates]] and [[Clipboard|clipboards]].
-* 1 [[Blue Pikmin]] found at its [[Onion]]. The heaviest [[fruit]] that requires Blue Pikmin is a [[Portable Sunset]] in [[Distant Tundra]] which must be broken off a branch and become submerged, then need 15 to carry. However, other colors can be thrown into [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds]] in [[Tropical Wilds]] to obtain this amount.
+*1 [[Blue Pikmin]] obtained from the Blue [[Onion]] when it is first discovered. The heaviest [[fruit]] that requires Blue Pikmin is the [[Crunchy Deluge]] in [[Twilight River]], which needs 10 Blue Pikmin to carry. However, Winged Pikmin can be thrown into Blue [[Candypop Buds]] in the [[Tropical Wilds]] to obtain this amount.
