There are five essential rankings for each stage: No ranking, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. No ranking simply means that the player did not earn enough points to earn a medal. The criteria for getting medals is different for each game mode, with the points differing every stage. Platinum medals mean that the player has collected all treasure or defeated all enemies before the time limit. Any time after the Platinum medal is acquired will be added as a time bonus to the original score, 30 additional points per second remaining. For Defeat Bosses!, only the time matters, and the quicker a boss is defeated, the better the medal; if it is defeated too late, the player might not receive any medal.

The game keeps track of the five best scores. These scores are only accessible on the results screen at the end of a successful mission, but the top score is available on the screen before the mission begins.

Each medal has a different look based on their ranking and the game mode. The loading screen tips state that each medal gives the player an honorary title. These titles do not change anything in the game. In the score tally screen, when a medal is obtained, a Pikmin can also be heard cheering the player. While hard to understand due to the Pikmin's voice, when slowed down, the different voice clips can be figured out.{{cite youtube|mGla9ZOj9KI|of sound effect trivia in ''Pikmin 3''|m=2|s=27|published={{date|10|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|11|June|2019}}}} The following table illustrates the medals for all rankings, as well as the title given by the tips and the cheers said by the Pikmin.
