'''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]].
The '''Challenge Mode''' in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] challenges the players to grow as many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as they can in a single day. It is unlocked when all three types of Pikmin are discovered in the game's main story mode. This is independent of log file, and once unlocked, the Challenge Mode will be available forever on the title screen, under Options. Levels are unlocked as they are encountered in the main game, again, for any ship log. The areas are slightly different from the ones in story mode, having different enemies and obstacles in different places, and lacking in ship parts. In addition, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] is not present during play, meaning [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] cannot repair his spacesuit, so the player must take great care as to not let Olimar fall. In Challenge Mode, the areas are slightly darker than their in-game counterparts, and the tempo of each area's music is increased slightly <ref>Each song receives a 20% tempo increase in Challenge Mode, as concluded by [[Talk:Challenge Mode (Pikmin)#Tempo change|this brief study]].</ref>.


==Stages==
When the time is up, the number of Pikmin that have been raised is displayed, and the top 5 numbers for each level are persistently recorded.

==Maximum score==
{{clear}}
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.
==Maximum Pikmin==
Using advanced strategies, it is possible to reach a cap on the number of Pikmin for all levels, except the Distant Spring, as it's too big to be fully covered within the time limit. That means that tied world records are not uncommon.

==Time limits==
==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.
Interestingly, when in Challenge Mode, the levels have a different duration. In the main game mode, all levels last for the same amount of time, which is roughly 13:30 minutes. The following values were obtained using memory watches with Dolphin, a GameCube emulator.
