Every game in the Pikmin series can be completed in varying degrees. Some players may consider their play time completed after just beating Story Mode, while others may want to finish everything the game has to offer. The following is a list of completion goals that exist in every game. Some of these objectives are acknowledged by the game, and unlock new content or mark something in the player's stats, while others consist of subjective goals that, in general, most players would consider part of "100%" completion of a game.
PikminEdit
- Reach an ending
Pikmin has 3 endings: the bad ending, reached by playing all 30 days without getting enough ship parts, the good ending, reached by getting at least the 25 mandatory ship parts by the end of the 30 days, and the best ending, reached by getting all 30 ship parts.
- Collect all ship parts
Getting all 30 ship parts is the main way that Pikmin's Story Mode can be completed.
- Complete all Challenge Mode stages
Since each stage has a maximum number of Pikmin that can possibly be grown, it is possible to complete Challenge Mode by getting the maximum score on each stage. However, The Distant Spring is nearly-impossible to complete in this manner, as described here.
Pikmin 2Edit
- Repay the debt
Pikmin 2's first main completion goal is reached after 10,000 Pokos have been obtained. Once it has been accomplished and the player is in an above ground area, the day automatically ends via a fanfare and the game's Debt Repayment Cinema.
- Collect all treasures
Pikmin 2's second main completion goal and ending occurs when all 201 treasures have been collected. Much like getting 10,000 Pokos, reaching this goal causes the current day to end via a fanfare and special cinematic when the goal is reached and the player is also above ground. This also fully completes the Treasure Hoard.
- Completing the Piklopedia
By interacting with or defeating all the creatures (depending on the entry), it is possible to unlock all 81 entries in the Piklopedia.
- Complete all Challenge Mode stages
On top of clearing all 30 Challenge Mode stages, the player can also beat each one with a pink flower (which is done by completing the stage with no Pikmin deaths), thus effectively completing Challenge Mode. Doing this unlocks a secret cutscene.
Pikmin 3Edit
- Defeat the final boss
Pikmin 3's ending occurs when the Plasm Wraith is defeated in the Formidable Oak. There are 4 variants of the ending, and which is seen depends on how many fruits are collected.
- Collect all fruits
The best ending occurs when all 66 fruits are collected. This is the standard way of completing Pikmin 3's Story Mode.
- Story Mode 100%
In addition to collecting all fruits, Story Mode can be fully completed by collecting all data files and gear.
- Get all badges
In Pikmin 3 Deluxe exclusively, there are 50 badges that can be unlocked by completing various tasks in each of the game modes.
- Complete all Mission Mode stages
Playing all 36 Mission Mode stages at least once records each stage as having been attempted. In the original Pikmin 3, this requires purchasing the DLC.
- All platinum medals in Mission Mode
Getting a platinum medal in both single-player and co-op on all 36 Mission Mode stages effectively completes the mode.
- Complete Olimar's Assignment
Reaching the end of all 4 days in Olimar's Assignment reaches the ending of the Side Story.
- Complete Olimar's Comeback
Reaching the end of all 10 days in Olimar's Comeback reaches the ending of the Side Story.
- All platinum medals in the Side Stories
Getting a platinum medal on all 14 Side Stories stages effectively completes the mode.
- All Bingo Battle stages
Unlocking all 12 Bingo Battle stages by completing the previous stage, and unlocking all variants of all stages by playing each one at least 3 times, effectively completes the mode.
Pikmin 4Edit
- Rescue Olimar
The primary ending of Pikmin 4, being the ending that reaches the game credits, involves rescuing Captain Olimar.
- Cure Oatchi
After returning to the planet to cure Oatchi's tail, a few more areas are left to investigate, along with the final boss battle.
- Clear all main missions
Clearing all missions involves rescuing every castaway (and curing all leaflings), collecting all treasures, and obtaining all Onions and Flarlic.
- Clear all side missions
Besides the things mentioned before, clearing all side missions involves getting all of Oatchi's skills, buying all gear, completing the Piklopedia, getting a platinum medal in all Dandori Challenges, a platinum medal in all Dandori Battles, defeating 1000 enemies, retrieving all of Louie's ingredients, and building all structures. This does not include "Make the World Bloom" and "Grow the Pikmin Population", as these missions renew every time their goal is met and thus can't be cleared.
- Get all platinum medals in Trial of the Sage Leaf
The medal obtained in each sublevel of the Trial of the Sage Leaf is recorded, and it's possible to get a platinum medal on all of them.
- Unlock all standalone Dandori Battle stages
Dandori Battles from the standalone "Dandori Battle mode" option on the title screen have a few different stages that need to be unlocked by playing the stage before them.
- Unlock all gallery videos
On the title screen, there is a "gallery" option that allows the player to re-watch cutscenes. Some need to be unlocked.
- Get all platinum medals in both 1-player mode and 2-player mode
This makes 2 medals appear when selecting a Dandori Challenge or Battle
Hey! PikminEdit
- Defeat the final boss
Hey! Pikmin's ending occurs when the Berserk Leech Hydroe is defeated. In order to do this, the player must first collect 30000 Sparklium and reach the end of the Lushlife Murk to unlock the final area, Fragment of Hope.
- Complete all areas
Reaching the end of all 49 areas (including the secret areas, which requires completing some areas twice) and completing all regular Secret Spots will mark every level as being cleared on the area selection menu.
- Collect all regular treasures
Getting all 125 regular treasures will fill the Treasure Log.
- Collect all treasures
Hey! Pikmin also has 41 amiibo treasures, but the only way to get them all is to have all of the corresponding amiibo, or the Pikmin amiibo.
- Complete the logs
Completing the logs requires collecting all 166 treasures, encountering all 57 enemies, and unlocking all types of Pikmin and pellets.
- Collect all badges
Completing an area "perfectly" will place a gold Pikmin badge on the level's icon in the area selection menu. If this is done for all areas, the saved game selection menu will also have a gold Pikmin badge on that save file. For an area to be completed "perfectly", the following must happen:
- The player must find all 20 Pikmin in the area.
- The player must never let any Pikmin die.
- The player must never use amiibo to help.
Once an area receives a badge, the badge stays there forever, and if the player did something while playing an area that made it impossible to get the badge, they can just try that area again.
