A '''42 Pikmin challenge''' is a [[challenge run]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' | 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 type are initially obtained or are needed to get out of a situation in which no other types can be reached (usually in places where that type 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 can be done, but collecting all the fruit requires 11 days. A [[10 day run]] is possible with 46 Pikmin, as extra Blue Pikmin must be grown to obtain all submerged fruit in [[Garden of Hope]]. Otherwise, the player will need an extra day in Garden of Hope after using a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]] in [[Tropical Wilds]]. | ||
