A guy who wants to make Pikmin 4 99% Pikminless. Unfortunately, he still has to play the previous three mainline games. :(

Minimum Pikmin Run (Pikmin 4)

A minimum Pikmin run in Pikmin 4 is a play style that revolves on completing the game with the fewest Pikmin. Due to the inclusion of Oatchi, many tasks can be accomplished without Pikmin.

Pikmin Uses

These are instances that define a Pikmin use.

General

- Interacting with/Throwing them at objects they can lock on to: This allows them to interact with the environment and accomplish tasks. Treasures, enemies, and obstacles are primary examples. This means any uses of the Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Ice Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, Winged Pikmin, Purple Pikmin, White Pikmin, and Glow Pikmin will count as a Pikmin use.

Required

- Growing, converting or getting new Pikmin: There are a few treasures that cannot be collected with just Oatchi, so Pikmin must used or grown. It is advised that these Pikmin should only be used for Pikmin required tasks.

Gray Area-Required

- Dandori Challenges, Dandori Battles, and Trial of the Sage Leaf Pikmin: The Pikmin used in these areas cannot be kept by the player and their deaths do not count to the final results.

Gray Area

- Glow Pikmin: The aforementioned Glow Pikmin is a special type of Pikmin when it isn't used. This type of Pikmin cannot be disbanded, which means tasks in night expeditions and caves must be done carefully and quickly. A Glow Pikmin's maturity blooms faster than other Pikmin types which will count to the "Set the World Abloom" mission. At the end of each night expedition, the player is given a Glow Seed for every five Glow Pikmin. Earning these items will count to the "Friend to All Pikmin" mission. Some things to note are Glow Pikmin deaths are not counted to the final results, and according to this game's Piklopedia, classifies these Pikmin not entirely Pikmin.
