A '''10 day run''' is a [[challenge run]] in {{p3}} which involves collecting all 66 [[fruit]]s and defeating the [[Plasm Wraith|final boss]] in the practical minimum number of [[day]]s, which is 10. This challenge is very difficult, and requires careful routing, extensive multitasking, precise management of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and using several [[Glitch|exploits]] to save time. Fortunately, ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} forgiveness in restarting days makes the challenge not as hard as low-day runs in the other games. The 10 day run does not require collecting the 4 spacesuit [[upgrade]]s, but collecting the Dodge Whistle is recommended. It is possible to combine this run with other challenge runs, such as the [[zero death challenge]].

It is possible to complete the game in [[#History|9 days]], but doing so is very difficult and has only been done once.

10 days is the intended minimum number of days to beat ''Pikmin 3''. This includes the [[7 day run|7 days]] necessary to complete all the story objectives, and an additional 3 days to revisit areas and collect fruits. These additional days are necessary because [[Blue Pikmin]] can only be unlocked after visiting the Distant Tundra, Tropical Wilds, and Twilight River, and there are underwater fruits in each of these areas, meaning a revisit is required to collect the underwater fruits. The game acknowledges this, by showing the "Days required to take home all fruit" global leaderboard with a scale from 10 days to 99 days.

However, the discovery of the [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Invincible Pikmin|invincible Pikmin glitch]] opened up the possibility of using non-Blue Pikmin to collect underwater fruits, as long as there was a way to make these Pikmin invincible and therefore able to go underwater. On {{date|22|May|2022}}, it was confirmed by "Drought Ender" that the glitch could theoretically be used with [[Winged Pikmin]] to collect the 2 underwater fruits in the [[Twilight River]] on the same day as the rest of the fruits in the area,{{cite youtube|HTQMfKtU5aE|demonstrating getting a Winged Pikmin to carry the Crunchy Deluge|published={{date|22|May|2022}}}} making a 9-day run possible. However, the trick to do this is frame-perfect, making it incredibly difficult to perform within the time limit of a day. On {{date|15|June|2022}}, "Ice cube" managed to collect all fruits in the Twilight River on day 5 for the first time,{{cite youtube|yC6Uhgg35dg|collecting all fruits in the Twilight River on day 5|published={{date|15|June|2022}}}} and completed the full run the next (real-world) day, proving that a 9-day run was doable.{{cite youtube|ot-_JSn0Rj0|of the first 9-day run|published={{date|16|June|2022}}}} This was the first day reduction in the history of ''Pikmin 3'' low-day runs, and likely the last, considering there is a fruit under a [[Flukeweed]] in the Tropical Wilds and a fruit behind a [[bamboo gate]] in the Distant Tundra.
