A '''10 day run''' is a [[challenge run]] in {{p3}} which involves collecting all 66 [[fruit]]s and defeating the [[Plasm Wraith]] 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 playthrough of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' in which the player collects every [[fruit]] and defeats the [[Plasm Wraith]] in the minimum number of days possible, which is 10. Very few players are capable of completing this, as it requires exploitation of several [[glitch]]es, careful management of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and extreme patience. Fortunately, as ''Pikmin 3'' gives the player the ability to retry any day, it is not as hard as speedrunning the previous [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. There are no limits on Pikmin deaths, but it is still possible to complete this run without losing any Pikmin.
 
While it is not necessary to collect all of the optional [[Spacesuit upgrades|upgrades]] that are hidden throughout the game, it ''is'' required to collect the Dodge Whistle, as it is needed on day 10.

As ''Pikmin 3'' is more linear than the previous ''Pikmin'' games, there is not much deviation the player can afford to make in this run. Some alterations are possible, but below is a rough outline of what the player needs to get done on each day. This guide works ideally with the [[Wii]] Remote, and is possible on any [[Update|game version]].
