Challenge mode, in Pikmin 1, is a separate from the main game and is selected from the title screen. The goal of Challenge Mode is to raise the largest Pikmin Army you possibly can in a single day; at the end of the day the amount of surviving Pikmin is counted and the top five scores are saved. In Challenge Mode, you are able to pick from any of the areas you've been to (in the story mode), but the areas are very different from the layout in story mode. Challenge Mode is unlocked once all three Onions have been found in story mode in at least one file.
Tempo change
So I figured we should have an exact number on how much the tempo increases in Challenge Mode. I went ahead and listened to the songs in-game, both in normal and in Challenge Mode, and compared the tempo. This is the conclusion I reached
| Area | Normal BPM | Challenge BPM | % increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Impact Site | 100 | 120 | 20% |
| The Forest of Hope | 112 | 134 | 19.64% |
| The Forest Navel | 120 | 144 | 20% |
| The Distant Spring | 116 | 140 | 20.06% |
| The Final Trial | 94 | 113 | 20.21% |
Wow, it's short of surprising; just a simple 20% increase. But now we can say that we have concrete values, at least. — {EspyoT} 20:46, 2 August 2013 (EDT)
