A 103-Pikmin run is a full playthrough of Pikmin 2 with only 103 Pikmin, the minimum possible number. Like the 8-day run or the zero-death run, it is recommended that players have completed the game at least once before attempting it, due to its challenging nature.
The Doomsday Apparatus is the heaviest treasure in the game, and the one requiring the most carriers – 100 purple Pikmin. Besides these, the player must also keep one red, yellow, and blue to prevent Pikmin extinction, adding up to a minimum of 103 Pikmin to collect all 201 treasures.
An extra challenge is to try this run without sprays. The minimum amount of time this has ever been completed in is 8 days.
