A 6 day run is where a player completes Pikmin 2 in 6 days by collecting all 201 treasures. This is achieved by collecting each type of Pikmin on the first possible day, with both Blue Pikmin and White Pikmin on day 3, and completing the Awakening Wood, Perplexing Pool, and Wistful Wild in a single day each. The following is a brief outline of such a run.
Because the Blue Pikmin don't respond to the leader's whistle, a 6 day run on the New Play Control! version is a lot harder, but by using glitches it is possible.[1]
Outline

The following article or section contains guides. |
The order of some days can be moved around – for example, finishing Valley of Repose can wait until after finding Yellows at Perplexing Pool (though this increases the difficulty of Perplexing Pool, which is arguably the hardest day), or Wistful Wild can be completed before Valley of Repose.
Day 1
- This is the same as in any other run through the game. Unless you're in a speedrun where time is critical, let your Red Pikmin grow to flower status before plucking them, to increase their performance.
Day 2
- Complete Emergence Cave.
- Find the Purple Pikmin.
Day 3
- Complete Hole of Beasts and White Flower Garden.
- Find the White Pikmin.
- Collect Geographic Projection.
- Complete the remaining caves.
- Use the seesaw block glitch to find and raise Blue Pikmin. Then, use the carrying charge glitch to carry the Decorative Goo over the gate.
Day 4
- Collect all overground treasures.
- Complete Subterranean Complex and Frontier Cavern.
Day 5
Note:All overground treasures must be collected before completing the final caves so that you can clear out the area before the day ends. This is because the debt clearing cutscene (which can only happen while above-ground) instantly ends the day.
- Find the Yellow Pikmin.
- Collect all overground treasures.
- Complete Citadel of Spiders, Glutton's Kitchen, Shower Room, and Submerged Castle.
Day 6
- Collect all overground treasures.
- Complete Cavern of Chaos, Hole of Heroes, and Dream Den.
History

To do: Add important history landmarks from before the carrying charge glitch. |
On March 24th, 2018, "muratsubo" discovered a glitch that allows Pikmin to carry an object at much faster speeds than normal.[2][3] Over the next days, speedrunners attempted to find time-saving uses for the glitch, and the idea of using it to get the Decorative Goo over the gate was instantly brought up. Several experiments were made to get it to work.[4][5][6] Eventually, it was proven to be possible to bring the Decorative Goo outside of the Blue Pikmin den, with enough speed.[7][8]
On April 2nd, 2018, "HSS0136" used that same glitch to get the Decorative Goo past the electric gate near the blue Onion, allowing the treasure to be recovered without the player needing to go unlock and use Yellow Pikmin[9], and as such, allowing the Awakening Wood to be completed in one day, and knocking the day total from seven to six.
