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 of this challenge has been done. A 10 day run with only 42 Pikmin is impossible, but by growing 46 Pikmin, it's actually possible to retrieve all fruits in 10 days.

Requirements

For a 10 day completion, 5 Blue Pikmin must be grown: one is found at its Onion, whereas the others must be grown using the Pellet Posys.
