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 of gathering fruit, battling enemies, and defeating bosses.

These are the 26 stages in Mission Mode:

All modes in Mission mode support 2-player split-screen co-op.[1]

Collect Treasure

The goal in Collect Treasure mode is to use the provided Pikmin to collect as many fruit and/or enemy carcasses as possible within a limited amount of time. When fruit is hauled back to the SPERO, their value will be converted to Pokos. The player's score will be based on how many total Pokos were earned and, if the player gets a platinum medal, how long it took the player to complete the area. 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 leaders, fruits, enemies, and Pikmin. 

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 mode.

Battle Enemies

The objective of this mode is to defeat enemies to score points. The enemies you defeat hold a certain amount of points. For example, the Swooping Snitchbug holds up to 30 points. Once the timer is up, the points the player gains are counted as your score.

Defeat Bosses

This mode requires the player to defeat a certain boss with a given assortment of Pikmin. Below is a list of all of the fightable bosses in the mode:


The player's medal is determined by the time left over. Pikmin count has nothing to do with scoring.
