All levels have a time limit (in units that do not represent seconds), within which one must advance to the next sublevel or fail the challenge. Every sublevel, some more units of time are added to the existing amount. Being awarded a white flower upon completion means that one or more [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have died, while a no-death completion earns a pink flower. A widely held misconception is that in order to beat Challenge Mode, one must collect all the treasures ''and'' have no Pikmin losses, but only the key on each level is required. To unlock a special [[Cutscenes|cutscene]] with [[Louie]], the player must complete the Challenge Mode with all pink flowers.

The final score the player receives depends on the amount of Pokos gathered, the amount of Pikmin that survived at the end, and the amount of time left on the timer before leaving. If the run is ended because a [[leader]] lost all his [[health]], then the number of Pikmin and time remaining will be set to 0 when tallying up the score. The final score value is obtained by summing the three factors, but the number of Pokos and number of remaining Pikmin are multiplied by 10, as detailed in the following formula:
