'''Mushroom challenges''' are a feature of {{pb}}, unlocked at [[level]] 15. Mushrooms of various colors and sizes appear around the world, and the player can send a group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to [[Combat|attack]] them. Multiple players can join a challenge, and participants will receive [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruit]] and a [[postcard]] as a reward, and a score that measures how well they did. | |||
The amount of Pikmin that can be sent on a mushroom | The amount of Pikmin that can be sent on a mushroom challenge by a player will increase over time based on the player's [[level]], starting at 10 Pikmin. The [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Mushroom challenge|mushroom challenge selection screen]] lets the player choose which Pikmin to send, and the strength value of the selected Pikmin can be seen in the top left corner. The higher the strength, the faster the Pikmin will be at completing the challenge. | ||
Only three mushroom challenges can be done by a player in a day. Up to five people are able to join in on a single mushroom challenge. | |||

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.

The hierarchy of the sizes are small, normal, and large, with each size increasing in [[health]]. The larger the mushroom, the bigger the reward for destroying it. There are 11 colors of mushrooms – 8 regular colors, and 3 elemental types. Fire Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Red Pikmin]], Water Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Blue Pikmin]], and Crystal Mushrooms can only be fought by [[Rock Pikmin]], while all other types can be fought by Pikmin of any type. The color of mushrooms determines the type of [[nectar]] players can get as a reward. | ||

A list of all the player's Pikmin appears, and by tapping one, it can be added to or removed from the mushroom attacking group. The maximum size of the group depends on the player's [[level]]. Pikmin with an advantage against that mushroom type (see the next section) may jump in the list when selected for the challenge. Selected Pikmin also appear in front of the mushroom in the camera view. There is a GO button in the lower right corner; tapping it sends all the selected Pikmin to attack the mushroom. | ||
Pikmin | [[File:PB Pink Mushroom Battle.gif|thumb|right|150px|Winged Pikmin destroying one part of a small pink mushroom.]] | ||
Once the Pikmin are sent on the mushroom challenge, 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. | |||
When the health is fully depleted, the mushroom challenge 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 challenge and a small number of shiny [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]] to be given to the player, providing them with [[nectar]] of an uncommon type. Each Pikmin that was sent on the mushroom challenge also gains some [[friendship]] (though this actually happens at the start of the challenge, not the end). | |||

When the player is selecting Pikmin for the mushroom challenge, a power value appears in the top left corner of the screen. This shows how strong the selected squad is against that mushroom.

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. | 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.

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 – 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 exact formula for calculating scores was never worked out before the scoring system changed.

Each fruit has a chance of giving either regular nectar or cyclamen nectar. Fruits giving cyclamen nectar will glow while fruits giving regular nectar will not. The types of nectar provided by mushrooms has changed over time, and past distributions can be seen in the [[#History|History section]]. | |||

==Halloween mushrooms== | |||
[[File:Halloween mushroom icon.png|thumb|A Halloween mushroom.]] | |||
During the [[Event#Halloween|Halloween event]], from {{date|24|October}} to {{date|31|October|2022}}, all mushrooms became Halloween mushrooms. These mushrooms functioned mostly the same way as normal mushrooms, but had a number of differences: | |||
* Visually, they had orange tops with purple spots. | |||
* They came only in the "Large" size, and functioned as large brown mushrooms for Pikmin type strength matchup and score threshold purposes. | |||
* They had a set amount of 9,273,600 health. | |||
* Pikmin with [[Decor Pikmin#Jack-o'-lantern|Jack-o'-lantern Decor]] were very strong against these mushrooms, being 100 times as strong as they normally would be (a 100× attack power multiplier), while other Pikmin had their normal strength. | |||
* The score thresholds were different from regular large mushrooms, making it easier to get higher star ratings. The minimum attack power to get a 3-star rating was 8640, and getting a 4-star rating required multiple players. | |||
* The fruits received as rewards for destroying these mushrooms either give white or red types of nectar, and were the same sizes as regular large mushrooms for the same star rating. | |||
* A different [[Music in Pikmin Bloom|music]] track played during battles against these mushrooms. | |||

When you first unlock | When you first unlock mushroom challenges, you likely won't be able to get very high scores because of the limit on how many Pikmin you can send to a challenge. 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 challenges 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 | After gaining a few [[level]]s and increasing your maximum challenge group size, you'll start being able to get higher scores. To optimally prepare a squad for challenges, select Pikmin that are the same color as the mushroom you'll be attacking, and Pikmin with higher friendship values (preferably [[Decor Pikmin]]). Feed them all a rare type of [[nectar]] (the types you get from completing challenges), and send them on the challenge. With a high enough level and enough Decor Pikmin, you should eventually be able to reach 4-star scores on small mushrooms. | ||
Getting 4-star ratings on larger mushrooms requires multiple players, so if you have friends who play ''Pikmin Bloom'', consider working together to complete a challenge as quickly as possible. | |||
