Dandori Challenges are a new challenge introduced in Pikmin 4, similar in concept to the Challenge Mode from Pikmin 2 and Mission Mode from Pikmin 3. They can be found by accessing special entrances around the areas in Story Mode. After rescuing a certain castaway, you can also access these from the Rescue Command Post. These challenges are directed by leaflings, who allow you to rescue them once they are completed.

The player is given a specific time limit to find and collect all the sparklium around an area. The Pikmin used and sparklium collected is not kept, but the player may earn raw materials from completing challenges (and some are even given are consultations for losing). This includes any treasures or enemies. Each stage is ranked with a "Dandori Level" of 1 to 5, indicating the level of difficulty. The player can earn medals based on their performance. Only a bronze is required to complete the challenge, but silver, gold, and platinum medals can also be earned.

List of Stages

• Dandori Day Care
• Hotshock Canyon
• Rockaway Cellars

Overtime

Similar to the after hours option in Mission Mode, the player (when playing a stage through the Rescue Command Post) can choose to work overtime to complete the challenge past the time limit if they failed to earn a platinum medal by collecting everything. The cost of doing so is that these results do not get reflected in the game's records. This option can be useful for practicing stages.
