'''Challenge Mode''' is an alternative game mode in {{p1}} that challenges the player to grow as many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as they can in a single [[day]]. The mode has 5 stages, with a stage set in each [[area]], but the areas are modified from how they are in [[Story Mode]], with [[pellet]]s, [[Enemy|enemies]], and [[obstacle]]s in different locations, and [[ship part]]s not appearing. In addition, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] is not present during play, meaning [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] cannot replenish his spacesuit's [[health]]. In Challenge Mode, the areas are slightly darker than their Story Mode counterparts, and the tempo of each area's [[Music in Pikmin#Areas|music]] is increased slightly.<ref>Each song receives a 20% tempo increase in Challenge Mode, as concluded by [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}#Tempo change|this brief study]]</ref> When the time is up, the number of Pikmin that have been raised is displayed, and the top 5 scores for each stage are [[Saved game|persistently recorded]].

Challenge Mode is unlocked when all three types of Pikmin are discovered in the game's main [[Story Mode]] for the first time, and once unlocked, Challenge Mode will be available forever on the [[main menu]], under Options. Stages are unlocked as they are encountered in Story Mode, again, for any [[saved game]].

==Maximum score==
Because there are only so many enemies and pellets within a stage, there is a maximum number of Pikmin that can be grown in each of them. This number is very high and difficult to reach, especially for the larger stages.

{|class="wikitable"
! Area || Maximum score
|-
! The Impact Site
| 278
|-
! The Forest of Hope
| 569
|-
! The Forest Navel
| 482
|-
! The Distant Spring
| 752
|-
! The Final Trial
| 299
|}

==Time limits==
In Challenge Mode, [[day]]s have a different duration to what they do in [[Story Mode]]. Usually, all days last for the same amount of time, which is roughly 13:30 minutes, but in Challenge Mode, this day length is multiplied by a specific value. The following multiplier values were taken directly from the game's files.

{|class="wikitable"
! Area || Duration || Multiplier
|-
! The Impact Site
| 10:48 || 0.8
|-
! The Forest of Hope
| 18:54 || 1.4
|-
! The Forest Navel
| 16:12 || 1.2
|-
! The Distant Spring
| 18:54 || 1.4
|-
! The Final Trial
| 13:30 || 1.0
|}
