'''Challenge Mode''' in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' is a challenge to grow as many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as you can in a single day. It can be unlocked when you discover all three types of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in Story Mode. Levels are unlocked as you encounter them in the main game. 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 speed of each area's music is increased slightly. [[Bomb Rock]]s are found in greater numbers, too.

==Trivia==
*Using advanced strategies, it is possible to reach a cap on the number of Pikmin for all levels, except the Distant Spring. That means that tied world records are not uncommon. Despite that, once emulation of Gamecube games becomes reliable enough, Tool-Assisted Speedrunners will try to reach the maximum number in The Distant Spring. The maximum Pikmin that can be grown in each level is:
**The Impact Site: 278
**The Forest of Hope: 569
**The Forest Navel: 482
**The Final Trial: 299

Challenge Mode in Pikmin is a challenge to grow as many Pikmin as you can in a single day. It can be unlocked when you discover all three types of Pikmin in Story Mode. Levels are unlocked as you encounter them in the main game. 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 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 speed of each area's music is increased slightly. Bomb Rocks are found in greater numbers, too.
