The '''Challenge Mode''' in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' is very different from the one in the first game. To unlock it, the player needs to collect [[The Key]] from the final floor of the [[Citadel of Spiders]] in the [[Perplexing Pool]]. Challenge Mode takes place in many [[cave]] areas and the player will need to collect [[The Key]] in each to advance through sublevels, and so complete the level. Challenge mode starts with 5 levels unlocked, and for every level completed, another level is unlocked. There are 30 levels in all, each with a specific amount of starting Pikmin, sprays, time limits, etc.

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.
