Although speedruns are normally judged using real time, some ''Pikmin 2'' speedruns may only take into account the time written by the game on the [[Menu#High scores|high scores menu]]. The game only begins counting time when when a [[saved game]] is loaded, and writes the time when it is saved. Because the time it saves is only saved with the granularity of a minute, if a player saves the game within one minute of loading it and then loads the newly-saved save game, the timer will keep the same number of minutes on record and assume no time has passed. This means the final result may not match the real time the playthrough took, and can be abused to get times as low as | Although speedruns are normally judged using real time, some ''Pikmin 2'' speedruns may only take into account the time written by the game on the [[Menu#High scores|high scores menu]].

*''Pikmin 2'': 37 Pikmin challenge to collect all the treasures except for the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] with only 37 Pikmin. 35 are initially required plus only one Yellow and Blue Pikmin whistled away from the group they're found in. This allows for a full run, without the tedious task of growing 100 Purple Pikmin, but with the added challenge of having less Pikmin to work with.{{cite youtube|rRF7jgOi23E|of a completed 37 Pikmin run in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''}} | *''Pikmin 2'': 37 Pikmin challenge to collect all the treasures except for the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] with only 37 Pikmin. 35 are initially required plus only one Yellow and Blue Pikmin whistled away from the group they're found in.

==Low day low Pikmin count== | |||
The superlative challenge runs of a ''Pikmin'' game not only complete the game in as few in-game [[day]]s as possible, but with the lowest number of Pikmin as possible. Some runs will prioritize having a low day count, while other runs will prioritize having a low Pikmin count. However, the most exceptional of playthroughs manage to minimize both simultaneously. | |||
The following are descriptions of some playthroughs in each game: | |||
*''Pikmin'': A '''6-day 50 Pikmin''' [[Tool-assisted_superplay]] was completed by "TRR"{{cite youtube|PRhKs4GMMD4|of a 6-day 50 Pikmin TAS in ''[[Pikmin]]''}}. A human has not managed to do this yet. Currently, the best a human has done is a '''50 Pikmin 8-day''' completion by "Mokaygee"{{cite youtube|Maacr6-FCeE|of something like day 2 of Mokaygee's 50 Pikmin 8-day run}}{{cite youtube|wVoEDeQpPXk|of day 3 of Mokaygee's 50 Pikmin 8-day run}}{{cite youtube|6MxXalQWMwo|of days 4-8 of Mokaygee's 50 Pikmin 8-day run}}, and a '''6-day 80 Pikmin''' completion, also by Mokaygee{{cite web|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}j2qMYb44Esk&list{{=}}PL1tbaKnaSPjfvSes3AV144l9ShdHxOb48|Playlist of Mokaygee's 6-day 80 Pikmin completion|YouTube}}. | |||
*''Pikmin 2'': A '''6-day 101 Pikmin''' completion was done by "HSS0136"{{cite youtube|zBCT23iF1u0|of a 6-day 101 Pikmin completion in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''}}. This playthrough even manages to skip discovering Yellow Pikmin, making this the most difficult challenge in ''Pikmin 2'' completed by a human. If [[Doomsday Apparatus]] is skipped, one can do a '''37 Pikmin 7-day''' completion, which HSS0136 has also done{{cite youtube|rRF7jgOi23E|of a 37 Pikmin 7-day completion, skipping [[Doomsday Apparatus]]}}. Currently, no attempts have been made at minimizing the Pikmin count in a 3-day debt repayment playthrough. | |||
*''Pikmin 3'': Unfortunately, this game is the only ''Pikmin'' game where completing the game in minimal days and the minimal pikmin count simultaneously isn't possible. A '''42 Pikmin 11-day''' completion was done by "Ice Cube"{{cite youtube|I6Nbx70NzLk|of a 42 Pikmin 11-day completion in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''}}. A '''10-day 46 Pikmin''' completion was also done by Ice Cube{{cite youtube|m_kA2EwtTO0|of a 10-day 46 Pikmin completion in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''}}. However, simply beating the game with minimal days and a minimal Pikmin count is possible. A '''7-day 42 Pikmin''' playthrough was also done by Ice Cube{{cite youtube|8ShGOIdUdyU|of a 7-day 42 Pikmin playthrough of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''}}. | |||
