'''Mission mode''' is an alternate gameplay mode in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It replaces the [[Challenge Mode]] found in previous games. In Mission Mode, the player completes challenges, with three different types existing. Each one has a time limit of between five and fifteen minutes, and awards the player with a ranking based on how well they performed on the mission. | |||
'''Mission | |||
The following rankings exist, and are sorted from worst to best: no medal, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The requirements for each ranking vary between stages and mission types. When a level is complete, a quick summary of the objects collected or enemies killed is displayed, and the player is given a final score. The player can then watch a replay of the entire session. | The following rankings exist, and are sorted from worst to best: no medal, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The requirements for each ranking vary between stages and mission types. When a level is complete, a quick summary of the objects collected or enemies killed is displayed, and the player is given a final score. The player can then watch a [[replay]] of the entire session. | ||
Unlike the Challenge Mode in previous games, this one is available from the start of the game, but certain requirements must be met in order to unlock some stages: for Collect treasure! and Battle enemies!, players start out with only one stage available, and they must obtain at least a bronze medal in order to unlock the next stage on the line. Bosses in Defeat bosses! mode are only made available once they're fought in Story mode. | |||
Gameplay in this mode is identical to that of Story mode, except for the mission type-specific rules, and the fact that the player always has the [[Dodge Whistle]]. If a leader loses all of their [[health]] or if a [[Pikmin extinction]] takes place, the mission is aborted. | |||

All levels in Mission Mode support 2-player split-screen co-op. | |||
Missions marked with an [[File:EShop icon.png|12px|link=Downloadable content|baseline]] are available as DLC, and all items marked with an * are free as long as the game is [[Pikmin 3 updates|updated]]. | |||

For the missions that aren't DLC, the previous mission must be beat before the next one can be unlocked. This is not the case with the boss missions, which require the player to have beaten the boss in story mode first. | |||
== | ==Types== | ||
There are three types of mission, each with a different objective, scoring system, and rules. | |||
===Collect treasure!=== | |||
The goal in Collect treasure! mode is to use the provided [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to collect as many fruit and/or enemy carcasses as possible within a limited amount of time. Pikmin are found either buried, scattered across the map, hidden below plants in little groups, or inside certain enemies, like the [[Medusal Slurker]]. When fruit or an enemy is hauled back to the [[SPERO]], its value is converted to [[Pokos]]. The player's score is based on how many total Pokos were earned. Collecting all fruit and corpses in the stage instantly finishes the mission, and the time left is awarded to the player as extra points. | |||
===Battle enemies!=== | |||
The objective of this mode is to defeat enemies to score points. Each enemy type is worth a certain amount of points; for example, the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] holds 30 points. Only a few Pikmin are available on the map, and the player must bring back enemies to the Onion in order to increase their Pikmin army. As such, a careful balance between combat and reinforcements is needed in order to maximize efficiency. The enemy's score is instantly added to the score counter the second the enemy dies. Once the timer is up, the points the player gains are counted as their score. | |||
===Defeat bosses!=== | |||
[[File:Vehemoth_Phosbat.png|thumb|The Vehemoth Phosbat in 2-player Defeat bosses!]] | |||
This mode requires the player to defeat a certain boss with a given assortment of Pikmin. To fight a boss in this mode, it must be defeated in Story Mode first. The major bosses encounter in Story mode are fought here: | |||
*[[Armored Mawdad]] | |||
*[[Vehemoth Phosbat]] | |||
*[[Sandbelching Meerslug]] | |||
*[[Scornet Maestro]] | |||
*[[Quaggled Mireclops]] | |||
*[[Plasm Wraith]] | |||
The player's medal is determined by the time left over. The Pikmin death count has nothing to do with scoring, but is still shown on the results screen. The requirements are as follows: | |||

Before starting a stage, it is possible to choose | Before starting a stage, it is possible to choose a single-player or 2-player mode. Unlike in ''Pikmin 2'', player 1 is on the right, while player 2 is on the left. With this, player 1 starts as [[Alph]], and player 2 starts as [[Brittany]] or [[Olimar]], depending on the stage. If the level has more than two captains available, either player can switch to the captain that is not being used. Just like in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'''s co-op challenge mode, players share sprays, and each spray used is deducted for both players. In other words, whenever a spray is used, it'll be depleted on the counter of both players' screens. Co-op missions have a separate ranking system from the single player version of the mission. It should be noted that the "Go Here!" function will not work in co-op. | ||
==Rankings== | ==Rankings== | ||
There are five essential rankings for each stage: No ranking, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. No ranking simply means that the player did not earn enough points to earn a medal. The criteria for getting medals is different for each stage, with the points differing every stage. Platinum medals mean that the player has collected all treasure or defeated all enemies before the time limit. Any time after the Platinum medal is acquired will be added as a time bonus to the original score, 30 additional points per second remaining. For Defeat bosses!, the only way to not get a medal is to either have all captains downed or to have a [[Pikmin extinction]]. As long as the boss is defeated, a medal is always awarded. The quicker a boss is defeated, the better the medal. | |||

These scores are only accessible on the results screen at the end of a successful mission, but the top score is available on the screen before the mission begins. World rankings also exists, with which the player can compare their result with the rest of the world. With the [[Pikmin 3 updates|1.2.0 update]], a World Record feature was added, and shows the current world record for the stage. | ||

Every once in a while, when booting up the game, the message {{transcript|Use SpotPass to receive <span style{{=}}"color: orange;">global ranking data</span> from Nintendo for this software?}} appears, and the player is given the choices "Cancel" or "OK". Accepting will make the message {{transcript|This Wii U has been configured to allow the use of SpotPass for this software.}} appear. This prompt actually asks the player if they wish to download the latest global rankings list. | |||
