When the time is up, the number of Pikmin that have been raised is | The '''Challenge Mode''' in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] challenges the players to grow as many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as they can in a single day. It is unlocked when all three types of Pikmin are discovered in the game's main story mode. This is independent of log file, and once unlocked, the Challenge Mode will be available forever on the title screen, under Options. Levels are unlocked as they are encountered in the main game, again, for any ship log. The areas are slightly different from the ones in story mode, having different enemies and obstacles in different places, and lacking in ship parts. In addition, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] is not present during play, meaning [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] cannot repair his spacesuit, so the player must take great care as to not let Olimar fall. In Challenge Mode, the areas are slightly darker than their in-game counterparts, and the tempo of each area's music is increased slightly <ref>Each song receives a 20% tempo increase in Challenge Mode, as concluded by [[Talk:Challenge Mode (Pikmin)#Tempo change|this brief study]].</ref>. | ||
When the time is up, the number of Pikmin that have been raised is displayed, and the top 5 numbers for each level are persistently recorded. | |||

Interestingly, when in Challenge Mode, the levels have a different duration. In the main game mode, all levels last for the same amount of time, which is roughly 13:30 minutes. The following values were obtained using memory watches with Dolphin, a GameCube emulator. | Interestingly, when in Challenge Mode, the levels have a different duration.
