Some challenges require the player to complete the game with the lowest number of Pikmin possible.  

*''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]]''}}.

In this game, Onionless playthroughs are considered more interesting with the additional rule that no Pikmin deaths are allowed. Such playthroughs are abbreviated as '''DLOL''', which stands for Deathless Onionless. Right away, an [[out of bounds]] glitch is required in [[The Forest of Hope]] in order to reach the Yellow Onion{{cite youtube|U8Wp0VcLS30|of an out of bounds glitch in The Forest of Hope}}, since reds cannot be withdrawn from the Red Onion. The player must complete the entire area with just yellows, which is possible with various [[glitches]]. In [[The Forest Navel]], the player must approach the Blue Onion right away and grow an entire army from 1 blue sprout. [[Candypop Bud]]s must be used to make other Pikmin types, and so that the player has 0 blues when arriving in [[The Distant Spring]]. This way, the Blue Onion will make a sprout in The Distant Spring, and the player can once again grow an army in order to complete this map. Lastly, the player must obtain 15 Pikmin in [[The Final Trial]], but they only start with 1 blue sprout (if they arrive with 0 blues). The only way to obtain the required number of pikmin is to throw the blue into a Candypop Bud of a different color, and repeat the process 15 times so that the Blue Onion makes a total of 15 sprouts. Then, the player can kill the [[Emperor Bulblax]], and harvest its five 5-pellets in order to have 40 pikmin to carry the [[Secret Safe]] (note that the Secret Safe weighs 85 in the Japanese version, so this challenge is not possible to complete in this version).

A full playthrough has been completed by "Mokaygee" in 23 in-game days{{cite web|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}QG26LW-s1ME&index{{=}}2&list{{=}}PL1tbaKnaSPjdwSVF-fU3ygRfK5ZYxqAbs|Playlist of an Onionless ''Pikmin'' playthrough|YouTube}}. 23 days is believed to be the lowest number of days needed to complete this challenge by a human, but Mokaygee has made a [[Tool-assisted superplay]] completing Forest of Hope in 1 day Onionless{{cite youtube|K4Tttv76bUQ|of [[Forest of Hope]] in 1 day Onionless (TAS)}}, making 22 days theoretically possible.

There are a few obstacles in an Onionless playthrough in this game. First of all, the Red Onion must produce a sprout on day 2, and when arriving in [[Awakening Wood]]. Otherwise, the player will be unable to obtain pikmin for the rest of the playthrough. In order to start day 2 with 0 reds, a [[glitch]] called "Day 1 Extinction" is required{{cite youtube|IieBje4CqMo|of Day 1 Extinction}}. Also, in order to arrive in Awakening Wood with 0 reds, all of the player's reds must be killed, or converted to purples. Lastly, the player must grow 100 purples in 1 day in order to collect [[Doomsday Apparatus]]. Doing this is not hard, it simply requires the player to visit [[Cavern of Chaos]] 20 times, which is tedious, but doable.

A full playthrough has been completed by "Grassdigger" in 7 in-game days.{{cite web|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}J5M2X900BIk&list{{=}}PLSM88llr5kvv6FGF2yJanJXFvfdMkzm-A&index{{=}}2|Playlist of an Onionless ''Pikmin 2'' playthrough|YouTube}}. A handful of glitches were utilized in order to complete the challenge in just 7 days, including the "rest skip" glitch{{cite youtube|ChcaITxJxJs|of the Rest Skip glitch}}. Unfortunately, a [[6 day run]] does not seem possible under Onionless restrictions, as Awakening Wood simply takes too much time to complete. Note that the player who completed the challenge had 1 death during the playthrough. However, it's actually possible to do a Deathless Onionless playthrough, thanks to a different glitch{{cite youtube|G8gKxF_ZpfE|of Day 1 Extinction with 0 deaths}}. Unfortunately, a Deathless Onionless playthrough currently requires 8 days to complete, as 1 more day is needed in Valley of Repose in order to obtain enough pikmin to crush the 35-weight paper bag. No one has completed a Deathless Onionless playthrough of ''Pikmin 2'' yet.
