A '''42 Pikmin challenge''' 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 | A '''42 Pikmin challenge''' is a full playthrough [[challenge run]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' with only 42 Pikmin, the minimum possible number.

* 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.

* 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.

* 1 [[Blue Pikmin]] found at its [[Onion]]. The heaviest [[fruit]] that requires Blue Pikmin is the [[Crunchy Deluge]] in [[Twilight River]] which is submerged, and needs 10 to carry. However, other colors can be thrown into [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds]] in [[Tropical Wilds]] to obtain this amount. | *1 [[Blue Pikmin]] found at its [[Onion]].
