'''Dandori Battles''' are special [[caves]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. While accessed from the [[area]]s in [[Story Mode]], they function more like an alternative game mode, similar to [[2-Player Battle]] in {{p2}} and [[Bingo Battle]] in {{p3}}. There is also a mode in the title screen that allows players to do Dandori Battles without any relation to Story Mode.

In Dandori Battles, the player (marked with blue) competes against their opponent (marked with red) to see who can earn the most points. Carrying [[treasure]]s, [[pellets]] and [[enemies]] to the player's designated [[Onion]] earns the player points based on their weight, and the player with the most points when the timer runs out is declared the winner. Both participants will use the same type of Pikmin. Unlike other game modes, Onions in a Dandori Battle produce live Pikmin that do not go through the [[sprout]] stage.
In Dandori Battles, the player (marked with blue) competes against their opponent (marked with red) to see who can earn the most points, which are noted with a symbol resembling the letter D. Carrying [[treasure]]s, [[pellets]] and [[enemies]] to the player's designated [[Onion]] earns the player points based on their weight, so that, for example, a [[Bulborb]] is worth 12 points while a pile of [[gold nugget]]s is worth as many points as its number of fragments. The player with the most points when the timer runs out is declared the winner. Both participants will use the same type of Pikmin. Unlike other game modes, Onions in a Dandori Battle produce live Pikmin that do not go through the [[sprout]] stage.

'''Dandori Battle mode''' is a mode selectable from the [[title screen]]. Here, the player can challenge a second player or a CPU to a round of Dandori Battle. When challenging the CPU player, it is also possible for two players to team up.

In addition to any of the created player characters from the game's save files, [[Shepherd]] and [[Collin]] are playable as well. Olimar and Louie can be unlocked as opponents after reaching certain points in any file of the main story. If Dandori Battle is played before [[Pikmin_4_player_character|creating a character]] on any save file, only Collin and Shepherd are playable.

The same 6 maps from [[Story mode]] are available to play on, however they must all be unlocked by playing on the stage before it at least once (similar to [[Bingo Battle]]). Levels are unlocked simply by finishing a battle, regardless of who wins. This also happens if the battle is retried and then aborted(?). In order to unlock a map, no matter what the current Story Mode progress is, the previous map must be completed first. For example, completing Trial Run twice does not unlock Dandori Castle.

There is 1 Dandori Battle cave per [[area]] in Story Mode, but each stage is played sequentially and not tied to the area they are entered from. Below is a list of every Dandori Battle cave entrance available and how to access them.

The player must complete the battles in the first three areas in any order to unlock [[Hero's Hideaway]]. From there, each area's Dandori Battle cave will need to be completed to unlock the next area (or in the [[Primordial Thicket]]'s case, the [[Cavern for a King]]). While the first 3 stages can be played in any of the first 3 areas, the player can only enter Leafy Showdown in Hero's Hideaway, Hot Sandy Duel in Giant's Hearth, and Final Battle in Primordial Thicket.

=== Sneak Bomb ===
The Sneak Bomb is a special item. It resembles a [[bomb rock]], but is larger, sits on a wooden platform, and cannot be armed by subjecting the bomb to physical stress. It must be carried to the opponent's Onion, at which point it will explode and cause them to lose points. The lost points will then be converted into Dandorium weights, which can be brought back to either Onion.
