{{rename|9 day run|9 days is officially the minimum number of days to complete ''Pikmin 3'' now, after the discovery and execution of several glitches. However, a 9 day run is extremely difficult, and a 10 day run is the only practical run to perform. Should this article be renamed or not?}} | |||
A '''10 day run''' is a [[challenge run]] in {{p3}} which involves collecting all 66 [[fruit]]s and defeating the [[Plasm Wraith|final boss]] in the minimum number of [[day]]s possible, which is 10. This challenge is very difficult, and requires careful routing, extensive multitasking, precise management of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and using several [[Glitch|exploits]] to save time. Fortunately, ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} forgiveness in restarting days makes the challenge not as hard as low-day runs in the other games. The 10 day run does not require collecting the 4 spacesuit [[upgrade]]s, but collecting the Dodge Whistle is recommended. It is possible to combine this run with other challenge runs, such as the [[zero death challenge]]. | A '''10 day run''' is a [[challenge run]] in {{p3}} which involves collecting all 66 [[fruit]]s and defeating the [[Plasm Wraith|final boss]] in the minimum number of [[day]]s possible, which is 10.

*As long as you carefully manage the Rock Pikmin and keep destroying the Plasm Wraith's plasm, you will be able to defeat it quickly and easily. If all went well, you can pat yourself on the back, as you have just completed the ''Pikmin 3'' 10 day challenge run. | *As long as you carefully manage the Rock Pikmin and keep destroying the Plasm Wraith's plasm, you will be able to defeat it quickly and easily.

== | ==History== | ||
10 days is the intended minimum number of days to beat ''Pikmin 3''. This includes the [[7 day run|7 days]] necessary to complete all the story objectives, and an additional 3 days to revisit areas and collect fruits. These additional days are necessary because [[Blue Pikmin]] can only be unlocked after visiting the Distant Tundra, Tropical Wilds, and Twilight River, and there are underwater fruits in each of these areas, meaning a revisit is required to collect the underwater fruits. The game acknowledges this, by showing the "Days required to take home all fruit" global leaderboard with a scale from 10 days to 99 days. | |||
However, the discovery of the [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Invincible Pikmin|invincible Pikmin glitch]] opened up the possibility of using non-Blue Pikmin to collect underwater fruits, as long as there was a way to make these Pikmin invincible and therefore able to go underwater. On {{date|22|May|2022}}, it was confirmed by "Drought Ender" that the glitch could theoretically be used with [[Winged Pikmin]] to collect the 2 underwater fruits in the [[Twilight River]] on the same day as the rest of the fruits in the area,{{cite youtube|HTQMfKtU5aE|demonstrating getting a Winged Pikmin to carry the Crunchy Deluge|published={{date|22|May|2022}}}} making a 9-day run possible. However, the trick to do this is frame-perfect, making it incredibly difficult to perform within the time limit of a day. On {{date|15|June|2022}}, "Ice cube" managed to collect all fruits in the Twilight River on day 5 for the first time, and completed the full run the next (real-world) day, proving that a 9-day run was doable.{{cite youtube|yC6Uhgg35dg|collecting all fruits in the Twilight River on day 5|published={{date|15|June|2022}}}} This was the first day reduction in ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} history, and likely the last, considering there is a fruit under a [[Flukeweed]] in the Tropical Wilds and a fruit behind a [[bamboo gate]] in the Distant Tundra. | |||
