A '''50-Pikmin run''' is a playthrough of [[Pikmin 1]] with only 50 [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]], the minimum possible number. Like the [[9-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 challenge''' is a playthrough of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' with only 50 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the minimum possible number. Like the [[6 day run]] or the [[zero death challenge]], it is recommended that players have completed the game at least once before attempting, due to its challenging nature.
==Walkthrough==
===Day 1===
Impact Site(in Pikmin 2 the Impact Site is Wistful Wild)


The [[Gluon Drive]] requires the most Pikmin to carry – a minimum of 50 Pikmin. This means that the main game is entirely beatable with only 50 Pikmin ever being sprouted. The minimum amount of time this has ever been completed is in 8 days. This was done by using a combination of tricks to collect the [[Positron Generator]] on day 2. That enabled the growth of Red Pikmin in preparation for day 3, in which [[The Forest of Hope]] was fully completed in 1 day.{{cite youtube|wVoEDeQpPXk|of the third day in an 8-day run}} The 9 day challenge is far more common due to its relative ease compared to the 8 day run. If the player wishes to only collect the 25 required [[ship parts]], 50 Pikmin are still required but the player must wait out all 30 days for the game to end. Due to the [[Secret Safe]] weighing 85 on the Japanese [[Region|version]], this challenge does not apply for that game version.
