Editing 6 day run

[[Image:Pikscores.JPG|thumb|320px|A screenshot of a completed 9-day run's end-of-game scores screen.]]
A '''9-day run''' is a play-through of [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]] in which the player collects every part of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in the minimum number of days possible, which is nine. Few players are able to do this, as it is very difficult and requires extreme skill in managing the [[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 (species)|Pikmin]] deaths. It is possible to perform this run in conjunction with both [[50-Pikmin run|50-Pikmin-]] and [[zero-death run|zero-death-]]runs.
