Ultra-Spicy mode is the hardest difficulty. In it, days last 13 minutes, and enemies are stronger. Most notably, the [[Pikmin limit|limit of Pikmin on the field]] is reduced from 100 to 60. Fruits also provide half the amount of [[juice]] that they normally would. There are the same number of nectar eggs as there are in the original Wii U version.
