Mission Mode
Mission Mode in the Challenge Mode of Pikmin 3. In Mission Mode, the player can complete one of three possible challenges, each which are 7-10 minutes long and are meant to help improve the player's Pikmin skills: Gather the Fruit, Battle Enemies, and Defeat Bosses.
All modes in Mission Mode supposed 2-player split-screen co-op.[1]
Gather the Fruit
The goal in Gather the Fruit Mode is to use the provided Pikmin to collect as much fruit and enemy carcasses as possible on the map within a predefined amount of time. When fruit are hauled back to the Pod, their value will be converted to Pokos, and the player's scores will be based on how much total pokos were earned. 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 in little groups, or inside enemies.
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.
Depending on how many pokos you obtain, your ranking will improve. You can either get bronze, silver, gold, or platinum.
Battle Enemies
The objectev of the mission is to battle enemies to collect their spirits to score points. The enemies you defeat hold a certin amout of spirits like the snitch bug that holds up to 30 spirit points. once the timer is up the spirits that you have collected are counted as your
score.
This video shows a bit about this mission mode and how it works. The mission starts at 1:14 and ends at 2:22
Defeat Bosses
This mode requires the player to defeat a certain boss/bosses with a certain amount of Pikmin. If playing at a higher difficulty, the player can set a time limit for an additional challenge. The amount of Pikmin available for the player to use will carry over if the player is doing a "Boss Rush".
Score is determined by the time left over and/or the Pikmin count.
Some of the bosses fought in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 will be returning exclusively to this mode.
