'''Mission Mode '''is the [[Challenge Mode]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. In Mission Mode, the player can complete one of three possible challenges, each which are 5-15 minutes long and are meant to help improve the player's Pikmin skills: Gather the Fruit, Battle Enemies, and Defeat Bosses.

'''Mission Mode''' ({{j|ミッション|Misshon|Mission}}) is an alternate gameplay mode in {{p3}}. 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.


There are 5 stages in Mission Mode. For details on them, click the name of the area to go to its page: 
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.
*[[Tropical Forest]]
*[[Silver Lake]]
*[[Thirsty Desert]]
*[[Twilight Hollow]]
*[[Shaded Garden]]
All modes in Mission Mode support 2-player split-screen co-op.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfY3r9BbYu8</ref>


==Gather the Fruit==
Gameplay in this mode is mostly identical to that of story mode in the way it is [[controls|controlled]], 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 [[gear]]. If a leader loses all of their [[health]] or if a [[Pikmin extinction]] takes place, the mission is aborted.
The goal in ''Gather the Fruit'' Mode is to use the provided [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] to collect as many fruit and enemy carcasses as possible on the map within a limited amount of time. When fruit is hauled back to the SPERO, their value will be converted to [[Poko]]s. The player's score will be based on how many total Pokos were earned and how long it took to complete the area. When enemies are defeated, additional Pokos will be added to the score and more fruit will drop onto the stage. Pikmin are found either buried, scattered across the map, hidden below plants in little groups, or inside certain enemies, like the [[Medusal Slurker]].


When a level is complete, the player can watch a top-down playback of the entire level session, showing icons to indicate the captains, fruits, enemies, and Pikmin. 
==Types==
There are three types of mission, each with a different objective, scoring system, and rules.


Depending on how many Pokos you obtain, you will receive a ranking. From worst to best, they are Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. To obtain a Platinum ranking, you must collect all fruit and enemy corpses on the map before time runs out. This ranking system works similarly in the Battle Enemies. 
===Collect Treasure!===
The goal in Collect Treasure! mode is to retrieve as many [[fruit]]s, [[Nugget|treasures]], and/or enemy carcasses as possible within a limited amount of time. Players can find Pikmin to use either at the starting point, buried, scattered across the map, hidden below plants in small groups, or inside certain enemies, like the [[Medusal Slurker]]. In most missions, there is no [[Onion]], meaning that players cannot grow any more Pikmin than the ones provided throughout the stage, although [[Twilight Hollow Remix]] and [[Beastly Caverns]] have Onions. For levels with no Onion, any recovered corpses go into the [[SPERO]] to exchange for [[Pokos]]. When Onions are present, the corpses are instead brought to them to create more Pikmin as well as earn Pokos. Additionally, Beastly Caverns is the only level to have [[pellet]]s, which will only create more Pikmin and not earn Pokos. Regardless of level, all fruits and treasures are taken to the SPERO to be converted to Pokos. The player's score is based on how many total Pokos were earned. Collecting all objects that can be converted to money in the stage instantly finishes the mission, and the time left is awarded to the player as extra points, with each stage giving a different value per second remaining.


==Battle Enemies==
===Battle Enemies!===
The objective of this mode is to defeat creatures to collect their spirits to score points. The enemies you defeat hold a certain amount of spirits. For example, the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] holds up to 30 spirit points. Once the timer is up, the spirits that you have collected are counted as your score. 
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. Some stages in this mode are remixed versions of [[Story Mode]] areas, featuring different object placement to the story versions of these areas, with sections of the area not relevant to the stage blocked off by large {{w|cinderblock}}s.

{{game help|p3d|It looks like the health of each boss reflects the normal [[difficulty]] level. Confirm for every boss.}}
{{game help|p3|For both ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', check which boss battles show a notification when the player doesn't have enough Pikmin to do the job. (e.g. no Winged Pikmin to damage the Scornet Maestro with.) Add that info to this article and the boss's article.}}
 
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.
 
==Levels==
{{game help|p3|Finish describing the way stages are unlocked.}}
{{game help|p3d|Finish describing the way stages are unlocked.}}
 
There are 36 stages in Mission Mode, of which 16 are [[downloadable content]] in the original ''Pikmin 3'' but are part of the base game in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''. All stages support 2-player split-screen co-op. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', [[Tropical Forest Remix]], [[Tropical Wilds Remix]], and [[Fortress of Festivity]] are free stages, and are only added to the game if it is [[update]]d. Unlike the Challenge Mode in previous games, Mission Mode is available from the start of the game, but certain requirements must be met in order to unlock some stages.
 
For ''Pikmin 3'' on the Wii U, bosses in Defeat Bosses! mode are only made available once they're defeated in [[Story Mode]] for the first time (regardless of collecting their spoils). For the other mission categories, 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. For the missions that aren't downloadable content, the previous mission must be beat before the next one can be unlocked.
 
For ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', Defeat Bosses! missions follow the same unlock requirements as before, but for the Collect Treasure! and Battle Enemies! missions, the player starts with the first five stages. Completing one stage, regardless of medals, unlocks 5 stages from the first and second Wii U DLC pack, depending on which mode the player plays in. Once all of those are beaten, stages from the third DLC pack from the Wii U version are unlocked.

The player's medal is determined by the time left over. Pikmin count has nothing to do with scoring.
==Co-op==
Before starting a stage, it is possible to choose between single-player or 2-player co-op mode. In co-op, player 1 is on the left of the screen, while player 2 is on the right of the screen. Player 1 starts the stage 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. Players share [[spray]]s, so any sprays used will deduct from the counter of both players. Co-op high scores are listed separately from single-player high scores. The "[[Go Here!]]" function cannot be used in co-op.


==Downloadable Content==
==After hours==
On October 1st, 2013, during that month's Nintendo Direct, Iwata annouced downloadable content (DLC) for ''[[Pikmin 3]]'''s mission mode. Nintendo offered Stage 6 for free if you update your ''Pikmin 3 ''software.'' ''The following packs are available in the eShop:
A feature that was added in {{p3d}}. If the player's time is up when they are playing through a normal mission, they will be sent to the results screen, but a button labeled "Continue" (with an "After Hours" blurb) will be present. Picking this option allows the game to continue where the player left off, but without a goal or a chance to increase the score they got. This allows the player to check out how the rest of their mission would have gone if they hadn't run out of time, so they can better plan for next time, or to just complete the mission without caring for the score.
*Round 1: "Collect Treaure" Pack (Stages 7-10) for $1.99 USD. 


==Trivia==
When the mode is entered, the gameplay resumes from the exact point the player left at, after a brief "Ready... Go!" pause. Everything is the same, except now the music changes to a [[Music in Pikmin 3#After hours|simple track]], the clock present during gameplay is replaced with a pink "After Hours" box, and the timer (now pink) counts up instead of down. This timer has no purpose other than showing to the player how much longer they are taking to complete the mission. The player can now finish the stage like normal, lose, retry the entire mission from the start, or quit from the [[pause menu]]. Finishing the stage successfully will bring the results screen up again, the game will tally everything up, and show the player a total score, although this time the results screen makes note that this was in after hours mode, including a blurb that shows how much extra time was needed. This score is not saved and, naturally, this time there is no option to play after hours in.
*Mission Mode and Bingo Battle are the only modes in which you can find [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''.
 
*The song that plays during all the missions was used all the ''Pikmin 3 ''trailers.
Players can only enter after hours when they run out of time, so the option isn't present if the goal was met, if a leader was knocked out, or if all Pikmin have been lost. In addition, it is not present during [[Defeat Bosses!]] missions, and although the [[Side Stories]] game mode is similar to Mission Mode, it does not have after hours. When the player presses the button to enter after hours mode, the game asks if they are sure they wish to continue playing, and reminds them that no record will be saved. Regardless of the player's choice, the game will save the score obtained so far and then proceed to leave or to resume gameplay, depending on the choice. If the player loses the mission during after hours, the game simply marks the stage as played, saves, and returns to the mission category's mission selection menu. But by completing the stage successfully, the game will save when the results screen is left in order to mark the mission as complete, but nothing else. This is useful, for instance, to unlock stages 6 to 10 of a category, since the player needs to have completed stages 1 to 5 first.
 
Oddly, due to a [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Aesthetic 2|glitch]], playing in handheld mode will result in the rendering resolution to be increased when the game enters after hours mode.
 
==Rankings==
{{see also|Pikmin 3#Global rankings|t1=Global 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 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.
 
The game keeps track of the five best scores in both single-player and co-op. These scores are only accessible on the [[Challenge results menu|results screen]] at the end of a successful mission, but the top score is available on the screen before the mission begins.
 
===Details===
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.

The medals are visible on the screen with the mission's briefings. A second medal appears if the challenge was completed in co-op mode. The platinum medals also have the [[Koppaite text]] {{kt|P|I|K|M|I|N}} {{kt|P|L|A|T|I|N|U|M}} on them, which means "Pikmin Platinum".

==Trivia==
[[File:P3 Out-of-Bounds Map Enemy.jpg|thumb|An odd second enemy bubble to the west of the map, when the Plasm Wraith's mission is highlighted.]]
*Mission Mode and [[Bingo Battle]] are the only modes in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' in which players can find [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]].
*The music that plays during all stages, with the exception of stages 11 to 15, was used in all of the ''Pikmin 3'' trailers.
*Mission Mode and Bingo Battle have an exclusive [[mini-boss]]: the [[Baldy Long Legs]]. It appears plentifully in both modes, although it is never found in [[Story Mode]]. Instead, there is the similar [[arachnorb]], the [[Shaggy Long Legs]].
**This is likely due to how long the Shaggy Long Legs fight can be, which would be impractical for a time-sensitive challenge.
*If a new record is achieved, and said record does not fit on the world rankings chart, the word "Unexpected" (US), "Invalid" (Europe), or "{{j|想定外|Sōtei-gai|unexpected|f=tp}}" (Japanese) will appear in the score's bubble on the ranking screen. The bubble will also be pointing outside of the chart to the right.{{cite youtube|lJvCkMJzSa8|of a run that triggered the "Unexpected" message|m=2|s=36}}{{cite youtube|sAb5Hg5S1LA|of a world record that triggered the "Invalid" message|m=2|s=8}} This is true for {{p3d}} as well.{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/jpiu07/got_a_high_score_in_silver_lake_past_the/|Got a high score in Silver Lake, past the leaderboards graphics into the unknowns of "unexpected"!|Reddit post|published={{date|7|November|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}}
*If the player goes into the Defeat Bosses! mission selection screen and highlights the Plasm Wraith's mission, they can then pan the radar on the GamePad to the northwest, where they will find a second enemy bubble, out of bounds. This bubble represents the [[Mysterious Life-Form]], according to the game's files.<ref><code>/content/CMCmn/generator/mapE/mis_boss.szs/1.txt</code>, line 93 &ndash; <code>Metaboss</code>'s (Mysterious Life-Form) coordinates are at <code>-5650.00000000 0.00000000 6330.00000000</code>.

*The icons for the first 5 Collect Treasure! stages all feature a Pikmin carrying a [[nugget]] while facing right, and each icon features a different type of Pikmin. The icons for the first 5 Battle Enemies! stages all feature a [[mini-boss]] or a similarly tough enemy.

Latest revision as of 04:43, September 13, 2024

Another elevated area containing Insect Condos as well as a group of Purple Pikmin and a few other treasures such as a Sunseed Berry and a Cupid's Grenade.
Some fruits in Twilight Hollow.

Mission Mode (ミッション?, lit.: "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.

Gameplay in this mode is mostly identical to that of story mode in the way it is controlled, and that the player never starts out with any ultra-spicy sprays, although it is possible to get some via Burgeoning Spiderworts 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 gear. If a leader loses all of their health or if a Pikmin extinction takes place, the mission is aborted.

Types[edit]

There are three types of mission, each with a different objective, scoring system, and rules.

Collect Treasure![edit]

The goal in Collect Treasure! mode is to retrieve as many fruits, treasures, and/or enemy carcasses as possible within a limited amount of time. Players can find Pikmin to use either at the starting point, buried, scattered across the map, hidden below plants in small groups, or inside certain enemies, like the Medusal Slurker. In most missions, there is no Onion, meaning that players cannot grow any more Pikmin than the ones provided throughout the stage, although Twilight Hollow Remix and Beastly Caverns have Onions. For levels with no Onion, any recovered corpses go into the SPERO to exchange for Pokos. When Onions are present, the corpses are instead brought to them to create more Pikmin as well as earn Pokos. Additionally, Beastly Caverns is the only level to have pellets, which will only create more Pikmin and not earn Pokos. Regardless of level, all fruits and treasures are taken to the SPERO to be converted to Pokos. The player's score is based on how many total Pokos were earned. Collecting all objects that can be converted to money in the stage instantly finishes the mission, and the time left is awarded to the player as extra points, with each stage giving a different value per second remaining.

Battle Enemies![edit]

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. Some stages in this mode are remixed versions of Story Mode areas, featuring different object placement to the story versions of these areas, with sections of the area not relevant to the stage blocked off by large cinderblocks.

Defeat Bosses![edit]

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3.
Particularly: For both Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe, check which boss battles show a notification when the player doesn't have enough Pikmin to do the job. (e.g. no Winged Pikmin to damage the Scornet Maestro with.) Add that info to this article and the boss's article.

Missions in this mode require the player to defeat one of the main bosses 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.

Levels[edit]

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
Particularly: Finish describing the way stages are unlocked.

There are 36 stages in Mission Mode, of which 16 are downloadable content in the original Pikmin 3 but are part of the base game in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. All stages support 2-player split-screen co-op. In the original Pikmin 3, Tropical Forest Remix, Tropical Wilds Remix, and Fortress of Festivity are free stages, and are only added to the game if it is updated. Unlike the Challenge Mode in previous games, Mission Mode is available from the start of the game, but certain requirements must be met in order to unlock some stages.

For Pikmin 3 on the Wii U, bosses in Defeat Bosses! mode are only made available once they're defeated in Story Mode for the first time (regardless of collecting their spoils). For the other mission categories, 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. For the missions that aren't downloadable content, the previous mission must be beat before the next one can be unlocked.

For Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Defeat Bosses! missions follow the same unlock requirements as before, but for the Collect Treasure! and Battle Enemies! missions, the player starts with the first five stages. Completing one stage, regardless of medals, unlocks 5 stages from the first and second Wii U DLC pack, depending on which mode the player plays in. Once all of those are beaten, stages from the third DLC pack from the Wii U version are unlocked.

Collect Treasure![edit]

Battle Enemies![edit]

Defeat Bosses![edit]

Co-op[edit]

Before starting a stage, it is possible to choose between single-player or 2-player co-op mode. In co-op, player 1 is on the left of the screen, while player 2 is on the right of the screen. Player 1 starts the stage 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. Players share sprays, so any sprays used will deduct from the counter of both players. Co-op high scores are listed separately from single-player high scores. The "Go Here!" function cannot be used in co-op.

After hours[edit]

A feature that was added in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. If the player's time is up when they are playing through a normal mission, they will be sent to the results screen, but a button labeled "Continue" (with an "After Hours" blurb) will be present. Picking this option allows the game to continue where the player left off, but without a goal or a chance to increase the score they got. This allows the player to check out how the rest of their mission would have gone if they hadn't run out of time, so they can better plan for next time, or to just complete the mission without caring for the score.

When the mode is entered, the gameplay resumes from the exact point the player left at, after a brief "Ready... Go!" pause. Everything is the same, except now the music changes to a simple track, the clock present during gameplay is replaced with a pink "After Hours" box, and the timer (now pink) counts up instead of down. This timer has no purpose other than showing to the player how much longer they are taking to complete the mission. The player can now finish the stage like normal, lose, retry the entire mission from the start, or quit from the pause menu. Finishing the stage successfully will bring the results screen up again, the game will tally everything up, and show the player a total score, although this time the results screen makes note that this was in after hours mode, including a blurb that shows how much extra time was needed. This score is not saved and, naturally, this time there is no option to play after hours in.

Players can only enter after hours when they run out of time, so the option isn't present if the goal was met, if a leader was knocked out, or if all Pikmin have been lost. In addition, it is not present during Defeat Bosses! missions, and although the Side Stories game mode is similar to Mission Mode, it does not have after hours. When the player presses the button to enter after hours mode, the game asks if they are sure they wish to continue playing, and reminds them that no record will be saved. Regardless of the player's choice, the game will save the score obtained so far and then proceed to leave or to resume gameplay, depending on the choice. If the player loses the mission during after hours, the game simply marks the stage as played, saves, and returns to the mission category's mission selection menu. But by completing the stage successfully, the game will save when the results screen is left in order to mark the mission as complete, but nothing else. This is useful, for instance, to unlock stages 6 to 10 of a category, since the player needs to have completed stages 1 to 5 first.

Oddly, due to a glitch, playing in handheld mode will result in the rendering resolution to be increased when the game enters after hours mode.

Rankings[edit]

See also: Global 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 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.

The game keeps track of the five best scores in both single-player and co-op. 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.

Details[edit]

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.[1] 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.

Collect Treasure! Battle Enemies! Defeat Bosses! Title Pikmin cheer
Bronze A bronze medal in Collect Treasure! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A bronze medal in Battle Enemies! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A bronze medal in Defeat Bosses! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. Lieutenant "Good!"
Silver A silver medal in Collect Treasure! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A silver medal in Battle Enemies! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A silver medal in Defeat Bosses! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. Captain "Great!"
Gold A gold medal in Collect Treasure! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A gold medal in Battle Enemies! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A gold medal in Defeat Bosses! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. General "Excellent!"
Platinum A platinum medal in Collect Treasure! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A platinum medal in Battle Enemies! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. A platinum medal in Defeat Bosses! stages in Mission Mode in Pikmin 3. Royalty "Perfect!"

The medals are visible on the screen with the mission's briefings. A second medal appears if the challenge was completed in co-op mode. The platinum medals also have the Koppaite text 'P' in Koppaite text 'I' in Koppaite text 'K' in Koppaite text 'M' in Koppaite text 'I' in Koppaite text 'N' in Koppaite text 'P' in Koppaite text 'L' in Koppaite text 'A' in Koppaite text 'T' in Koppaite text 'I' in Koppaite text 'N' in Koppaite text 'U' in Koppaite text 'M' in Koppaite text on them, which means "Pikmin Platinum".

The fanfare that plays when the player acquires a platinum medal or successfully defeats a boss:

Trivia[edit]

An out-of-bounds enemy bubble on the Plasm Wraith mission map.
An odd second enemy bubble to the west of the map, when the Plasm Wraith's mission is highlighted.
  • Mission Mode and Bingo Battle are the only modes in Pikmin 3 in which players can find Purple and White Pikmin.
  • The music that plays during all stages, with the exception of stages 11 to 15, was used in all of the Pikmin 3 trailers.
  • Mission Mode and Bingo Battle have an exclusive mini-boss: the Baldy Long Legs. It appears plentifully in both modes, although it is never found in Story Mode. Instead, there is the similar arachnorb, the Shaggy Long Legs.
    • This is likely due to how long the Shaggy Long Legs fight can be, which would be impractical for a time-sensitive challenge.
  • If a new record is achieved, and said record does not fit on the world rankings chart, the word "Unexpected" (US), "Invalid" (Europe), or "想定外? (lit.: "unexpected")" (Japanese) will appear in the score's bubble on the ranking screen. The bubble will also be pointing outside of the chart to the right.[2][3] This is true for Pikmin 3 Deluxe as well.[4]
  • If the player goes into the Defeat Bosses! mission selection screen and highlights the Plasm Wraith's mission, they can then pan the radar on the GamePad to the northwest, where they will find a second enemy bubble, out of bounds. This bubble represents the Mysterious Life-Form, according to the game's files.[5]
  • The icons for the first 5 Collect Treasure! stages all feature a Pikmin carrying a nugget while facing right, and each icon features a different type of Pikmin. The icons for the first 5 Battle Enemies! stages all feature a mini-boss or a similarly tough enemy.
