A '''50-Pikmin run''' is a playthrough of ''[[Pikmin]]'' with only 50 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the minimum possible number. Like the [[6-day run]] or the [[zero-death run]], it is recommended that players have completed the game at least once before attempting, due to its challenging nature.

The [[Gluon Drive]] requires the most Pikmin to carry – a minimum of 50 Pikmin. This means that the entire main game is entirely beatable with only 50 Pikmin ever raised. The minimum amount of time this has ever been completed is in 9 days. Due to the [[Secret Safe]] weighing 85 on the Japanese [[Region|version]], this run does not apply for that game version.
A '''50-Pikmin run''' is a playthrough of ''[[Pikmin]]'' with only 50 [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]], the minimum possible number. Like the [[6-day run]] or the [[zero-death run]], it is recommended that you have completed the game at least once before attempting due to its challenging nature. Until the [[Gluon Drive]] is collected, it is only possible with no Pikmin deaths and is therefore harder than the [[zero-death run]].

A 50-Pikmin run is a playthrough of Pikmin with only 50 Pikmin, the minimum possible number. Like the 6-day run or the zero-death run, it is recommended that players have completed the game at least once before attempting, due to its challenging nature.

The Gluon Drive requires the most Pikmin to carry – a minimum of 50 Pikmin. This means that the entire main game is entirely beatable with only 50 Pikmin ever raised. The minimum amount of time this has ever been completed is in 9 days. Due to the Secret Safe weighing 85 on the Japanese version, this run does not apply for that game version.
