'''Mission Mode''' ({{j|ミッション|Misshon|Mission}}) is an alternate gameplay mode in | '''Mission Mode''' ({{j|ミッション|Misshon|Mission}}) 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. | ||
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.

Bosses in Defeat Bosses! mode are only made available once they're fought in Story mode. | ||
Gameplay in this mode is mostly identical to that of story mode in the way it is [[control]]led, and that the player never starts out with any [[ultra-spicy spray]]s, although it is possible to get some via [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s and/or ultra-spicy nectar on certain stages. However, there are a few mission type-specific rules, and there is also the fact that the player always has the [[Dodge Whistle]] and none of the other spacesuit [[upgrade]]s. If a leader loses all of their [[health]] or if a [[Pikmin extinction]] takes place, the mission is aborted. | |||

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, the player needs a careful balance between combat and reinforcements to be efficient. 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, but if all enemies are killed, the mission ends right away and the player receives extra points based on the time left | The objective of this mode is to defeat enemies to score points.

Missions in this mode require the player to defeat one of the main [[boss]]es in the story mode, with a given assortment of Pikmin and time limit. To fight a boss in this mode, it must be defeated in story mode first. 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. | |||

These are the 36 stages in Mission Mode, counting the ones available as [[downloadable content]]. [[Tropical Forest Remix]], [[Tropical Wilds Remix]], and [[Fortress of Festivity]] are only added to the game, for free, if the game is [[update]]d. | |||
All levels in Mission Mode support 2-player split-screen co-op. For the missions that aren't downloadable content, 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 (regardless of collecting its spoils). | |||

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 left, while player 2 is on the right. 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 leaders available, either player can switch to the leader 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. | ||

There are five essential rankings for each stage: No ranking, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. No ranking simply means that the player did not get enough points to earn a medal. The criteria for getting medals is different for each game mode, 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, with a certain amount of additional points per second remaining, that depends on the stage. For Defeat Bosses!, only the time matters, and the quicker a boss is defeated, the better the medal; if it is defeated too late, the player might not receive any medal. | There are five essential rankings for each stage: No ranking, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

Each medal has a different look based on its ranking and the game mode. The loading screen tips state that each medal gives the player an honorary title, though nothing change in the game whatsoever. In the score tally screen, when a medal is obtained, a Pikmin can also be heard cheering the player. While hard to understand due to the Pikmin's voice, when slowed down, the different voice clips can be figured out.{{cite youtube|mGla9ZOj9KI|of sound effect trivia in ''Pikmin 3''|m=2|s=27|published={{date|10|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|11|June|2019}}}} The following table illustrates the medals for all rankings, as well as the title given by the tips and the cheers said by the Pikmin. | Each medal has a different look based on its ranking and the game mode.
