In the fanbase, a '''challenge run''' is where a player attempts to [[Completion|complete]] a game, or part of a game, with a special goal or rules. Most challenge runs are not implemented or recognized by the game, and as such, give no in-game reward for completing them. Most challenge runs only apply to the main [[Story Mode]]. | In the fanbase, a '''challenge run''' is where a player attempts to [[Completion|complete]] a game, or part of a game, with a special goal or rules.

The following are the world records for various types of speedruns. Note that, unless otherwise noted, these times are for real-time runs, not in-game timer runs or [[tool-assisted speedrun]]s. The runs are split by category, and different regions of a game may have different timing methods, tools, or glitches, which all affect a player's speed; these differences are further explained on the '''[[region]]''' page. | The following are the world records for various types of speedruns.

{{p2}} has an in-game time counter that displays the time it took to repay the debt or to collect all treasures on the [[high scores menu]]. The game only begins counting time when a [[saved game]] is loaded, and writes the time when it is saved. Because the time it saves is only saved with the granularity of a minute, if a player saves the game within one minute of loading it and then loads the newly-saved save game, the timer will keep the same number of minutes on record and assume no time has passed.

A '''100% playthrough''' is when the player completes all secondary goals in the game on top of the normal [[completion]]. It's normally considered that a "100% run" is a playthrough in which all [[Saved game|recordable]] goals are obtained. For the ''Pikmin'' games, the most basic form of a 100% run is to collect all of the main collectibles in the game, and not just the ones that give the main characters a good result and end up with the game's [[credits]]. More hardcore definitions of 100% would include all [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] entries or [[data file]]s, for instance. There is nothing in the ''Pikmin'' games that can only be obtained on specific times, and will require the player to start a new run to obtain – anything can be obtained at any time, provided there are enough [[day]]s left. The [[Smoky Progg]] can be missed, but nothing is stored in record for its encounter or defeat. | A '''100% playthrough''' is when the player completes all secondary goals in the game on top of the normal [[completion]].

An '''Onionless''' playthrough is when the player must never withdraw Pikmin out of an [[Onion]] (including the [[Hocotate ship]] in {{p2}}).

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]].

In this game, a deathless Onionless run is impossible. There is no way to make progress in the [[Garden of Hope]] if there are Red Pikmin in the Onion. However, because "AshEevee" found a way to kill Pikmin on day 1,{{cite youtube|5Z7KuPo76I4|of killing Pikmin on day 1 in ''Pikmin 3''}} an Onionless playthrough is still possible. On day 1, the player can remove all obstacles to the ship, then kill all of their Pikmin. Unlike the 2 previous games, the Onion will make a sprout immediately, but the player must leave it behind so that they can have a red sprout in the Garden of Hope. Going forward, it's best to leave all Pikmin buried or left behind at the end of each day, so that the player can start each new area with 1 of each type of Pikmin sprout. The [[Formidable Oak]] proves to be a challenge, because the player starts with 5 Pikmin, and there is no way to grow more. However, if the player uses the Candypop Buds inside the oak, the player can cause extinctions for the different types of Pikmin, making the Onion produce more. | In this game, a deathless Onionless run is impossible.

A full playthrough has been completed by "JHawk" in 10 in-game days.{{cite youtube|8vHA2-mKye0|of ''Pikmin 3'' Onionless all fruits in 10 days}} | A full playthrough has been completed by "JHawk" in 10 in-game days.{{cite youtube|8vHA2-mKye0|of ''Pikmin 3'' Onionless all fruits in 10 days}} Amazingly, all fruits can still be collected in the optimal number of days under the Onionless restriction. "JHawk" uses various [[glitches]] to save time, mostly ones that also appear in speedruns of this game, such as clipping leaders through walls, or charging Winged Pikmin at fruits in high places. Regardless, [[Garden of Hope]] and [[Tropical Wilds]] were tight on time, he says. However, [[Formidable Oak]] was the most difficult day, as he only obtained 18 Pikmin from farming extinctions, and it takes about half of the day to even start the boss battle, leaving only the other half of the day to beat the boss with very few Pikmin. Technically, it's also possible to complete the game Onionless in 7 in-game days, though this follows from simply playing the first 6 days like in JHawk's playthrough, then completing [[Formidable Oak]] on day 7 in the same way as day 10 of the playthrough. | ||
