A '''6 day run''' is a [[challenge run]] of {{p1}} in which the player collects every [[Ship part|part]] of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in the minimum number of days possible, which is six. Few players are able to do this, as it is very difficult and requires extreme skill in managing the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Many tricks are used in this run to help the players collect the parts faster, or in a different order. There are no limits on Pikmin deaths, though it is possible to perform this run in conjunction with a [[zero death run]].

During the studies that made a 7 day run possible, The Forest of Hope had been found to be completable in one day, but it had to be done on day 3, and with 25 Red Pikmin. This exploited a few mechanics in order to obtain the [[Radiation Canopy]], [[Geiger Counter]], and [[Sagittarius]]. Runners continued investigating the area, and eventually found ways to overcome them all without needing Blue Pikmin. The strategies were optimized further and further with time.

Like the 7 day run, "Himajin" managed to be the first player to complete the game in 6 days, on {{date|30|December|2011}}.
