Editing Mushroom battle

{{game icons|pb=y}}
'''Mushroom battles''' are a feature of {{pb}}, unlocked at [[level]] 8. Mushrooms of various types and sizes appear around the world, and players can send groups of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to [[Combat|attack]] them. Multiple players can join a battle, and participants will receive [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruit]] and a [[postcard]] as a reward, and a score that measures how well they did. Up to three mushroom battles can be done by a player in a day, but additional battles can be joined by spending a [[#Mushroom Recharge Ticket|Mushroom Recharge Ticket]].

The amount of Pikmin that can be sent on a mushroom battle by a player will increase over time based on the player's [[level]], starting at 10 Pikmin and reaching a maximum of 40 Pikmin at level 20. The [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Mushroom Battles|mushroom battle selection screen]] lets the player choose which Pikmin to send and shows the strength of the squad and how long the battle will take. The higher the strength, the faster the Pikmin will be at completing the battle. Up to 5 people can battle a single mushroom at once, each sending their own groups of Pikmin, and after reaching this number, additional players can join (up to a maximum of 20 for all small, normal, and large mushrooms, and 30 for giant mushrooms) by using a Mushroom Recharge Ticket. Players can also call their [[friend]]s for help in the mushroom by using a [[Mushroom Battle Bullhorn]].

==Mushrooms==
[[File:PB Map Mushroom Tutorial.jpg|thumb|200px|A small red mushroom on the map screen. The red circle indicates its health.]]
Mushrooms grow at points of interest in the real world, similar to [[Big Flower]]s. They can only be seen and interacted with when they are less than 600 meters away from the player. After the mushroom is destroyed, it grows back in the same location 5 minutes later, without any input. As of the update on {{date|13|December|2023}}, mushrooms that have not been cleared for 24 hours will automatically regrow at 18:00 UTC. Whether regrowth is automatic or following the destruction of the previous mushroom, the mushroom type that grows is randomized.

Mushrooms come in various types that differ in size and type. The hierarchy of the sizes are small, normal, large, and giant, with each size increasing in [[health]]. The larger the mushroom, the bigger the reward for destroying it. There are 12 basic types of mushrooms &ndash; 7 regular colors, and 5 special types. Fire Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Red Pikmin]], Water Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Blue Pikmin]], Electric Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Yellow Pikmin]], Poisonous Mushrooms can only be fought by [[White Pikmin]], and Crystal Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Rock Pikmin]]. All other types can be fought by Pikmin of any type. The type of mushrooms determines the type of [[nectar]] players can get as a reward.

!How those mushroom healths are calculated
|-
|
Mushroom health is based on the attack strength of the corresponding Pikmin type. It is calculated by the formula 100 × floor(1080 × '''''scale''''' × (23 + '''''type''''')), where '''''scale''''' and '''''type''''' are given by the following tables:

==Process==
[[File:PB Small Red Mushroom Selection Menu.png|thumb|150px|The screen that appears when a mushroom is selected.]]
[[File:PB Small Red Mushroom Selecting.png|thumb|150px|Selecting Pikmin for a mushroom battle.]]
When a mushroom is selected, either from the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map screen]] or [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Expeditions|expedition list]], the camera will focus on the mushroom, with a photograph of its corresponding real-world landmark behind it. The screen displays some basic information about the mushroom, such as its remaining [[health]], the time left until it is destroyed, and the rewards for destroying, as well as circles that can be filled with icons of the [[Mii]]s of the players who have joined the battle. 

If the player that joined the mushroom is on the player's [[Friend#Friend list|friend list]], their icon have a green border. If the player that joined the mushroom joined from the player's [[#Mushroom Battle Bullhorn|Mushroom Battle Bullhorn]] invitation, their icon will have a pink border. Clicking on another player's Mii icon will open a menu that allows you to send a [[#Reactions|reaction]] and view their total [[#Attack power|attack power]]. If the player is on your friend list, you also have the option to send them a [[postcard]] or a [[Shop#Gift bundles|gift]]. If the player clicks on their own icon in this menu, they will be able to view their total attack power, what reactions they have received, and buttons to either edit their Mii or open their friend list.

There is a Join button which when clicked progresses to the selection screen. The button will be grayed out if the participant limit has already been reached. If the player has run out of daily tries, a Mushroom Recharge Ticket will be displayed inside. In the selection screen, the player can manually choose which Pikmin to send, or have the game automatically select Pikmin with the Auto button. The Auto button will always select the top 40, which will changed based on how their Pikmin list is currently sorted. By tapping a Pikmin in this list, it can be added to or removed from the group that is being sent to attack the mushroom. 

The minimum size of this group depends on the size of the mushroom being battled, as shown in the table below.
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"

The maximum size of the group depends on the player's [[level]], as shown in the table below.

Pikmin with an advantage against that mushroom type (see the next section) may jump in the list when selected for the battle. Selected Pikmin also appear in front of the mushroom in the camera view. Since {{date|14|December|2022}}, after selecting at least 1 Pikmin, a [[nectar]] button appears in the lower half of the screen and can be tapped to feed the selected Pikmin. The player will be taken to a separate [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden screen]] where selected Pikmin can be fed. There is a GO button in the lower right corner; tapping it sends all the selected Pikmin to attack the mushroom. If the player has run out of daily tries, they will be asked to use a Mushroom Recharge Ticket before proceeding. Additional tickets can be purchased from this screen by tapping the "Add Tickets" button.

[[File:PB Small Red Mushroom Battle.gif|thumb|150px|Red Pikmin destroying one part of a small red mushroom.]]
Once the Pikmin are sent on the mushroom battle, they rush towards the mushrooms and start attacking them. Most Pikmin types latch on to a mushroom and start attacking it at a constant rate, with each attack doing some damage. [[Rock Pikmin]] instead jump towards a mushroom from a distance and roll back to jump again. From time to time, Pikmin get off the mushroom, walk back to their starting position, and walk back to the mushroom to start attacking again. Each hit decreases the health of the mushrooms, though not by a set amount; see the [[#Time|Time]] section for more details. From time to time, one of the mushrooms in the group will collapse, leaving the Pikmin attacking it to start attacking another one. The intervals at which mushrooms break depend on the number of the mushrooms in the cluster: 4 for small, 7 for normal, and 10 for large, such that mushrooms break at regular intervals. For example, in a large mushroom group, one of the mushrooms will break for each tenth of health depleted. After joining a mushroom battle, player icons can be tapped to send a reaction, chosen from four different types of reactions. A reaction can be changed at any time once sent. Mushroom battles can be left using the "Leave" button. Doing so will not give the player an extra attempt for the day.

When the health is fully depleted, the mushroom battle is cleared. The player is provided with their score, the time it took to destroy the mushrooms, and a star rating, followed by the Pikmin bringing a [[postcard]] about their battle and a small number of [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]] to be given to the player. Each Pikmin that was sent on the battle also gains some [[friendship]] (though this actually happens at the start of the battle, not the end).

!How joining mushroom battles worked before {{date|14|December|2022}}
|-
|
Prior to update 59.0, players could not leave current battles or send reactions to one other. The selection screen did not display rewards. Only up to three mushroom battles could be done in a day, as Mushroom Recharge Tickets had not yet been introduced to the game. Selected Pikmin could not be fed nectar from the selection screen.

==Attack power==
When the player is selecting Pikmin for the mushroom battle, a power value appears in the bottom-right of the upper display, alongside an image of two Pikmin. This shows how strong the selected squad is against that mushroom. Adding a Pikmin will increase the value by some amount. This amount depends on the [[Pikmin family#Types|type]] of Pikmin, whether it is a [[Decor Pikmin]], its [[maturity]], its [[friendship]], and the color of the mushroom being attacked.

[[File:PB Mushroom Battle Strength Increments.png|thumb|150px|Different attack displays indicating the anticipated star rating of a battle, based on attack total alone.]]
As the requirements for each star rating are met by the squad's total attack, the display changes in design, colour and effects. While the total attack is less than the required score for 2 stars, the display is green and shows a single star between the two Pikmin icons. Once the attack total exceeds the score for 2 stars, the display changes to yellow backed by a golden glow, and two stars are shown between the Pikmin icons. When the squad's attack grows greater than the required score for 3 stars, the display changes to a light orange colour, backed by an orange glow with small orange sparks, and three stars appear between the Pikmin icons. And when the attack total overtakes the score needed for 4 stars, the display changes to a darker orange, with a vibrant blue glow backed by white sparks and multicolored fireworks, and four stars are shown between the pair of Pikmin icons.

Each Pikmin type has a base attack power. These attack powers are shown in the table below.

!How attack power was calculated before {{date|14|December|2022}}
|-
|
The attack power of a Pikmin originally depended on 5 variables: the [[Pikmin family#Types|type]] of Pikmin, its [[friendship]], its [[maturity]], whether it was a [[Decor Pikmin]], and the color of the mushroom being attacked. The equation below was the overall equation for calculating the power contributed by a single Pikmin; the paragraphs below explain what each variable means.

{{equation|PB Challenge Power Formula.png}}

Each Pikmin type had a base attack power. [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]] all had the standard base attack power. [[White Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] were slightly weaker, while [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] were slightly stronger. The exact values used are in the table below.

!Base attack power
|-
|Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin
|4
|-
|White and Winged Pikmin
|2.8
|-
|Purple and Rock Pikmin
|5.2
|}

A Pikmin's [[maturity]] contributed to how strong it was. Leaf Pikmin had the standard attack power, and each maturity level above that increased the power slightly. Rare flowers, such as pansies and roses, were stronger than regular flowers. Bare Pikmin, obtained by feeding them too much [[nectar]], were slightly weaker. The exact values used are in the table below.
{|class="wikitable"

|1
|-
|Bud
|1.1
|-
|Normal flower
|1.2
|-
|Seasonal flower
|1.3
|-
|Bare
|0.9
|}

A Pikmin's [[friendship]] contributed to its strength. For the purposes of the formula, the value used was the number of completed hearts. The fractions of a heart between full hearts didn't matter, so a Pikmin with 1.1 hearts of friendship and a Pikmin with 1.8 hearts of friendship had the same attack power of 1. The number of full hearts ranged from 0 to 4, so a value in this range was used in the formula.

If a Pikmin is a [[Decor Pikmin]], 4 points were added to its attack power. This variable in the equation could be either 0 (for non-Decor Pikmin) or 4 (for Decor Pikmin).

The final variable was the type of mushroom, and this was the last step in calculating attack power. If a Pikmin was the same color as the mushroom, its attack power was multiplied by 2. In other cases, certain Pikmin types may have an advantage or disadvantage against certain mushroom types. The multipliers for each Pikmin-mushroom combination are in the table below.

As an example, picture a standard [[Purple Pikmin]] with 2.5 hearts of friendship and a bud on its head, against a red mushroom. This gives it a base damage of 5.2, a maturity multiplier of 1.1, a friendship value of 2, a Decor bonus of 0, and a mushroom multiplier of 1.1. Putting these values in the formula gives (5.2 × 1.1 × (1 + 2/10) + 0) × 1.1, or 7.5504. The game would round this up to 8 for displaying to the player.
|}

==Time==
[[File:PB Mushroom Time Bonus.png|thumb|150px|The time bonus awarded after clearing a mushroom battle.]]
The amount of time it takes to destroy a mushroom (in seconds) is calculated by taking the health of the mushroom, dividing it by the total attack power of the Pikmin attacking the mushroom, and multiplying it by 100. For example, a normal-size mushroom with 397,400 health, attacked by a group of Pikmin with 450 attack power, should take 88,311 seconds to destroy, or 1 day, 31 minutes and 51 seconds.

When another player joins the mushroom, the remaining time is recalculated based on the current health remaining on the mushroom and the total attack power of all Pikmin of all players attacking the mushroom. Using the previous example, if another player joins the mushroom after 1 hour, the mushroom will have 381,200 health left. If they join with 500 power (giving a total of 950 power), the remaining time will become 40,126 seconds, or 11 hours, 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

Although the game presents damage as something dealt by each individual attack, each Pikmin hit actually does as much damage as it needs to decrease the health of the mushrooms at a linear rate such that they are fully destroyed at the calculated time.

!How time was calculated before {{date|14|December|2022}}
|-
|
Originally, the amount of time it took to destroy a mushroom (in seconds) was calculated by taking the health of the mushroom, dividing it by the total attack power of the Pikmin attacking the mushroom, and multiplying it by 4. Battles would also automatically end after exactly 2 days if they were not done by then.
|}

==Reactions==
During a mushroom battle with multiple participants, players can send reactions to other participants. There are 4 types of reactions: "Hello", "Thank You", "Nice Mii", and "Nice Squad", each with an icon. Each player can only send 1 reaction to each other participant, and can change this reaction. The total number of reactions of each type each player has received is visible during the battle. They cannot be viewed at the end of the battle, though they do influence [[#Titles|titles]].

==Scoring==
[[File:PB Mushroom Results.png|thumb|150px|The screen that appears when a mushroom battle is cleared, and the total score is shown.]]
At the end of a mushroom battle, the game gives the participants a score and a star rating. The score is equal to the total strength of all Pikmin in the battle, plus a time bonus. Star ratings range from 1 star to 4 stars, and depend on the final score. The score required for each star rating depends on the type of mushroom, and is displayed before joining the battle and after the battle ends.

To calculate the time bonus, the game compares the final time at the end of the battle to various breakpoints that depend on the type of mushroom. The time bonus will either be equal to 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% of the attack power of all participants, depending on how the time compares to the breakpoints. The breakpoints are calculated by dividing the health of the mushroom by each of the score thresholds for each star rating, and multiplying by 100 to give a result in seconds. This effectively means that if only one player was in the battle and they had a squad strength equal to one of the score thresholds, the length of the battle would be one of the breakpoints. Clearing the battle slower than the 2-star breakpoint gives a time bonus of 5% of the attack power of all participants. Clearing the battle faster than the 2-star breakpoint and slower than the 3-star breakpoint gives a time bonus of 10% of the attack power of all participants. Clearing the battle faster than the 3-star breakpoint and slower than the 4-star breakpoint gives a time bonus of 15% of the attack power of all participants. And clearing the battle faster than the 4-star breakpoint gives a time bonus of 20% of the attack power of all participants.

As an example, a small purple mushroom (which has 93,900 health) would have the following breakpoints:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! Stars !! Attack Required !! Maximum Time !! Bonus
|-
| ☆ || 0 || >4:32:10 || 5%
|-
| ☆☆ || 575 || 4:32:10 || 10%
|-
| ☆☆☆ || 1160 || 2:14:54 || 15%
|-
| ☆☆☆☆ || 2380 || 1:05:45 || 20%
|}
Note that it's not enough for the attack power to be higher than the score threshold, the time must be faster than the breakpoint. Players joining the battle after it begins will increase the attack power but not decrease the time elapsed so far, so additional strength may be required to make the final time less than the breakpoint.

!How scoring worked before {{date|14|December|2022}}
|-
|
At the end of a mushroom battle, the game gave the player a score and a star rating. Star ratings were presented as ranging from 1 to 3, but they actually ranged from 1 to 4. The score obtained was dependent on the attack power of the Pikmin group and the size of the mushroom, and the star rating was dependent on the score.

The exact formula for calculating scores was never worked out before the scoring system changed. However, it was clear that it was based around thresholds for each star rating. For small mushrooms, the minimum scores for each star rating were multiples of 720 &ndash; 1440 for 2 stars, 2160 for 3 stars, and 2880 for 4 stars (the maximum score). These thresholds were doubled for normal-sized mushrooms, doubled again for large mushrooms, and doubled again for giant mushrooms. Score was calculated according to the time taken to defeat a mushroom, relative to its size and color. This was especially apparent when multiple players joined at different times, as the delay would result in a decline in score, compared to a scenario where the same players joined in unison. Because time requirements were scaled based on mushroom health, attack requirements for a certain score were the same across all mushroom colors, so long as the size was the same. However, this scaling did not factor the matching Pikmin color's base attack. As an example, higher scores could be achieved on purple and grey mushrooms with less Pikmin, as Rock and Purple Pikmin naturally possess the highest base attack of all Pikmin species.

The following table shows the approximate minimum total attack power for each star rating and mushroom size, based on experimental data. Note that results when teaming up for mushroom battles may vary due to differences in joining times. The values for giant mushrooms are not exact and are based on rough calculations.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! Mushroom size !! ☆☆ !! ☆☆☆ !! ☆☆☆☆
|-
| Small || 185 || 326 || 565
|-
| Normal || 296 || 731 || 2,000
|-
| Large || 832 || 1,623 || 2,963
|-
| Giant || 1,134 || 2,194 || 4,534
|}
|}

==Rewards==
Once a mushroom battle is complete, a [[postcard]] and some [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]] will appear, and the Pikmin the player sent will collect them. Each participant receives the full reward (rewards are not split between participants). If too few Pikmin were sent on the battle to carry all the rewards, only some rewards will be collected; the postcard has the highest priority. Small fruits, special fruits and postcards only require 1 Pikmin each to retrieve them, big fruits require 6 Pikmin per unit, and giant fruits need 8 Pikmin apiece. The fruits received depend on the type of mushroom and the star rating. The following table shows the minimum score for each star rating and the in-game display for fruits received by reaching that star rating. See the [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|Fruit (''Pikmin Bloom'')]] article for information on the amount of nectar each fruit type can provide.

Note that the rewards displayed only indicate the size and color of fruit that will be obtained, rather than a guaranteed specific fruit. As an example, a lemon in the display indicates that the reward will yield a big yellow fruit, meaning either a lemon or an orange. The same is true if an orange is displayed. Another example would be if muscat grapes are shown. In this case the rewarded fruit will be a giant white fruit, meaning either muscat grapes or a melon, with the same being true if a melon is displayed instead.

[[File:PB Mushroom Nectar Reward Result.jpg|thumb|Rewards from a 3☆ Small Mushroom, showing the nectar types.]]
Each fruit has a chance of giving either regular nectar or the rare seasonal nectar that is currently available. Fruits giving rare nectar will glow while fruits giving regular nectar will not. There will always be at least 1 fruit that gives rare nectar. The types of nectar provided by mushrooms has changed over time, and past distributions can be seen in the [[#History|History section]].

!How those score thresholds are calculated
|-

The score thresholds appear to be calculated by the formula ('''''health''''' + '''''shift''''') × '''''factor''''', where the '''''health''''' is the mushroom's health, and the '''''shift''''' and '''''factor''''' are given in the table below:

==Titles==
[[File:PB Mushroom Battle Titles.png|thumb|The participant list screen displayed after completion of a mushroom battle, with titles awarded to each player.]]
Titles are awarded to each player upon completing a battle. These titles consist of a combination of an adjective and a noun, with interchangeable options for either category. The title each player receives is random, though is influenced by the [[#Reactions|reactions]] each player receives, as well as other factors, though the exact system is not known. Titles were added in the {{date|14|December|2022}} update, and more words have been added in updates since then.

==Mushroom Recharge Ticket==
[[File:Mushroom recharge ticket icon.png|thumb|150px|A mushroom recharge ticket.]]
[[File:PB Mushroom Tickets.jpg|thumb|200px| Mushroom Recharge Tickets, as displayed separately or in a stack in the [[shop]].]]
Mushroom Recharge Tickets are an item that allow player's to join mushroom battles they wouldn't otherwise be able to join. It is a consumable item that can be bought from the [[shop]] (either individually or in stacks of 11), or obtained as rewards from [[event]]s. The player's total remaining Mushroom Recharge Tickets can be viewed on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Expeditions|expeditions]] screen.

After a player has used up all three of their free daily tries, a ticket can be used to join additional battles. To do this, the player must open the menu for the mushroom they wish to join. The join button will have an icon of a Mushroom Recharge Ticket inside it, as will the GO button. Click both the join button and then the GO button will not use the ticket, but will instead open a confirmation menu. If the player has no tickets, they can instead purchase tickets from this menu.

If 5 players are already battling a mushroom, players can use a Mushroom Recharge Ticket to join that mushroom, which allows up to a maximum total of 20 players to join the battle. In battles against Giant Mushrooms, a maximum of 30 players can join using this method. If the ticket is used to join a mushroom with more than 5 players, it will not use one of their free daily tries.

==Mushroom Battle Bullhorn==
[[File:PB Mushroom Battle Bullhorn.png|thumb|200px|The Mushroom Battle Bullhorn.]]
The Mushroom Battle Bullhorn is an item that allows players to invite their [[friend]]s to join a mushroom battle remotely. Unlike other items, this item cannot be bought from the [[shop]]. Similarly to the [[Detector]], players get one free bullhorn to use each day. On weekends when Giant Mushrooms spawn during [[Event|Event Challenge]]s, players get three free bullhorns to use both days of the weekend. The player's total remaining Mushroom Battle Bullhorns can be viewed on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Expeditions|expeditions]] screen.

To use a bullhorn, players must first be participating in a mushroom battle. On the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Mushroom Battles|mushroom battle selection screen]] of the mushroom, there will be a "Call Friends for Help" button that, when tapped, will prompt the player to select up to 4 of their friends to join the battle. Users who receive the invite will have to spend one of their daily tries to join the battle. If they have ran out of tries or if the mushroom already has 5 participants, invitees will have to use a [[#Mushroom Recharge Ticket|Mushroom Recharge Ticket]].

After using the bullhorn, the player who sent the bullhorn can edit their invites to add more invites if they previously didn't fill up their bullhorn invites, or change who they are inviting, as long as the invite has not been accepted. Once a mushroom finishes and all player's [[#Titles|titles]] appear, anyone who joined from the player's bullhorn call will have the word "Helper" next to their name. This will only appear for the player who called them to the mushroom, and will not be viewable for any other participants.

==Event Mushrooms==
For some [[event]]s, special types of mushrooms are temporarily added.
{{see|Mushroom battle/Event Mushrooms}}

==Strategy==
[[File:PB Attack Power Infographic 2.png|thumb|300px|An infographic explaining the calculation of attack power.]]
{{guide}}
When you first unlock mushrooms, you likely won't be able to get very high scores because of the limit on how many Pikmin you can send on them. At this stage, focus on attacking larger mushrooms as they give more rewards for low star ratings, and send Pikmin you want to increase the friendship of, since mushroom battles give a small amount of [[friendship]] to participating Pikmin.

After gaining a few [[level]]s and increasing your maximum group size, you'll start being able to get higher scores. To optimally prepare a squad for a battle, select Pikmin that are the same color as the mushroom you'll be attacking, and Pikmin with higher friendship values (preferably [[Decor Pikmin]]). You can feed Pikmin [[nectar]] to raise their attack powers further.

==History==
{{box|This table does not mention the increase of [[Mushroom Battle Bullhorn]]s to 3 on weekends where Giant Mushrooms spawned during [[event]]s. Any increase of daily Mushroom Battle Bullhorns mentioned here was for a different reason.}} 
The following changes have been made to mushroom battles over time:
{|class="wikitable"
!width=150px|Date
!Changes
|-
|{{date|27|October|2021}}
|At the time of {{pb}}'s launch, this was the distribution of nectar types for each mushroom type: brown, white, and gray mushrooms give white pansy nectar, red and pink mushrooms give red pansy nectar, blue and purple mushrooms give blue pansy nectar, and yellow mushrooms give yellow pansy nectar.
|-
|{{date|21|December|2021}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: brown, yellow, blue, white, and gray mushrooms give white poinsettia nectar, and red, purple, and pink mushrooms give red poinsettia nectar.
|-
|{{date|22|January|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: brown, yellow, blue, white, and gray mushrooms give white camellia nectar, and red, purple, and pink mushrooms give red camellia nectar.
|-
|{{date|14|February|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution for the [[Event/Other events#2022 Valentine's Day Event|2022 Valentine's Day Event]]: brown, white, and gray mushrooms give white rose nectar, red and pink mushrooms give red rose nectar, blue and purple mushrooms give blue rose nectar, and yellow mushrooms give yellow rose nectar.
|-
|{{date|15|February|2022}}
|Reverted nectar distribution to the previous camellia nectar rewards.
|-
|{{date|19|February|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: all mushroom types give red plum blossom nectar.
|-
|{{date|24|February|2022}}
|Temporarily increased the number of challenges that can be done in a day from three to six, and doubled the [[friendship]] gain from challenges, for the [[Event/Other events#Challenge Days|Challenge Days Event]].
|-
|{{date|1|March|2022}}
|Reverted to the standard amount of [[friendship]] gain, and returned the number of challenges that can be done in a day from six to three.
|-
|{{date|13|March|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: all mushroom types give white cherry blossom nectar.
|-
|{{date|22|March|2022}}<br>(Update 41.0)
|Increased the mushroom interaction radius from 400 to 600 meters.
|-
|{{date|23|April|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: brown, white, and gray mushrooms give white tulip nectar, red and pink mushrooms give red tulip nectar, blue and purple mushrooms give blue tulip nectar, and yellow mushrooms give yellow tulip nectar.
|-
|{{date|27|April|2022}}<br>(Update 44.0)
|Renamed challenges to mushrooms in the user interface, corresponding with the introduction of the new [[weekly challenge]] feature.
|-
|{{date|21|May|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: brown, white, and gray mushrooms give white rose nectar, red and pink mushrooms give red rose nectar, blue and purple mushrooms give blue rose nectar, and yellow mushrooms give yellow rose nectar.
|-
|{{date|1|June|2022}}
|Changed the nectar distribution: brown, white, and gray mushrooms give white, white carnation, white rose, or white hydrangea nectar, red and pink mushrooms give red, red rose, red carnation, or red hydrangea nectar, blue and purple mushrooms give blue, blue rose, blue carnation, or blue hydrangea nectar, and yellow mushrooms give yellow or yellow rose nectar.

|-
|{{date|4|July|2022}}<br>(Update 48.0)
|Added the display of each individual Pikmin's attack power when selecting Pikmin for a mushroom battle. This implementation had an issue where every Pikmin's displayed power was rounded up to the next integer, and the total attack power at the top of the screen was the sum of all the displayed attack powers for the selected Pikmin rather than the true values, resulting in the displayed total being higher than the true total (which was still used for calculating score and time).
|-
|{{date|12|July|2022}}<br>(Update 49.0)
|Fixed the rounding issue in the previous update.
|-
|{{date|30|July|2022}}<br>(Update 50.0/50.1)
