The 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 real life, a game day lasts around 13 minutes, varying slightly per game. In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)#Time limits|''Pikmin'''s Challenge Mode]] though, every area has its own duration. 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. Any objects that are moved from their original spot will remain in the new spot on any following 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. 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.

When the countdown finishes, two cinematic sequences take place. The first shows the captain [[Whistle|whistling]] and ordering every Pikmin to get on their Onions or ship. All Pikmin under the control of a captain and idle ones near the ship and Onions will climb safely into their respective Onion or ship. Any Pikmin that are buried will remain buried in the same spot, and can be plucked on another day. Every Pikmin that is near an onion away from the landing site will still climb to their onion, despite not being shown. After everyone is apparently gathered, the captain(s) climb on board of the ship.

However, any [[pikmin]] left behind are seen wandering towards the ship and onions as they are leaving, being eaten by the main enemies that appear during the ships take off.
