To do: Expand descriptions of each game's story mode. |
Story Mode (or Story mode) is a generic term for the main mode of a video game. It is the mode where the actual storyline and canon takes place. The Pikmin games all have a story mode, and it is always the top item in the main menu. Story modes are contrasted with alternative game modes such as Mission Mode or 2-Player Battle.
Features
