The [[HUD#Sun Meter|Sun Meter]] at the top of the [[HUD]] indicates the amount of daylight left, so effectively, the time the player has left on the current day. A number on the top right corner indicates the current day. In the [[Story Mode]] of ''Pikmin'' games, a day lasts between 13 and 18 real-life minutes, depending on the game, version, and [[difficulty]] mode, as explained [[#Durations|here]]. Alternative game modes have days with varying lengths. As the day goes by, the lighting on the area changes much like it does on Earth, but enemy behavior and area layout remains constant all throughout. | The [[HUD#Sun Meter|Sun Meter]] at the top of the [[HUD]] indicates the amount of daylight left, so effectively, the time the player has left on the current day.

When a smaller enemy is killed, it respawns in its original place on the very next day. This is not true for larger enemies like [[Red Bulborb]]s, which take more days to respawn. Additionally, if an enemy's corpse is not brought back to an [[Onion]] before the end of the day, the corpse will disappear. Some enemies only appear in certain days. Some of the most notable enemies with this characteristic are the [[Smoky Progg]], which disappears after day 14, the [[Ujadani]], that only appear every 30 days, and the [[Goolix]] and [[Mamuta]] on [[The Impact Site]], that appear in alternating days. For a list of all enemies that appear in exclusive days, please read the list of enemies on the corresponding [[area]] article. | ||

Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Olimar's Final Smash is called '''End of Day'''. It shows Olimar jumping into his [[Hocotate ship|ship]] then rocketing off into space as night approaches. The stage below becomes infested with mature Bulborbs that deal heavy damage to foes; following this, the ship crashes and explodes, hurting all nearby enemies. Strangely, Pikmin will be left behind and are immune to the predators, but not to other players. | ||
