'''Difficulty''' is a feature in {{p3d}} that alters aspects of the game in order to adjust how easy or hard it is. These aspects include the length of a [[day]] and the strength of [[Enemy|enemies]].

Upon creating a save file on the [[Menu/Saved game selection|file selection screen]], the player will be prompted to choose a difficulty. There are 3 options: '''Normal''', '''Hard''', and '''Ultra-Spicy''', with the latter only being unlocked once the player has completed the story mode in Hard difficulty, or completed the [[Pikmin 3 Deluxe#Demo|demo]]. This selected difficulty cannot be changed for the rest of the [[saved game]].
Upon creating a save file on the [[Menu/Saved game selection|file selection screen]], the player will be prompted to choose a difficulty. There are 3 options: '''Normal''' ({{j|ふつう|Futsū}}), '''Hard''' ({{j|むずかしい|Muzukashī}}), and '''Ultra-Spicy''' ({{j|ゲキカラ|Gekikara}}), in increasing order of difficulty. The lattermost can only be unlocked once the player has completed the story mode in Hard difficulty, or completed the [[Pikmin 3 Deluxe#Demo|demo]].


==Effects==
At any point in the saved game selection screen, the player can press {{button|switch|zr}} to change a file's difficulty, but doing so prevents the player from earning any [[badge (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|badge]] related to completing [[Story Mode]] in a given difficulty, in that file. If the player uses this option to change to the exact same difficulty the file is already at, nothing will happen.
===Normal===
Normal mode is the easiest difficulty. In it, days last 18 minutes. The mid-day chime plays after 9:00 minutes, the sunset warning begins after 15:50 minutes, and the sunset countdown begins after 17:27 minutes. Enemies usually have lower health than on the Wii U original.{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/jf1lf9/enemy_hp_comparison_how_to_test_it/|Enemy HP Comparison + How to test it.|reddit|published={{date|21|October|2020}}|retrieved={{date|14|October|2020}}|rname=health_research}}


===Hard===
==Differences==
Hard mode is the intermediate difficulty. In it, days last 13 minutes, which is the same as in the original Wii U version. The mid-day chime plays after 6:30 minutes, the sunset warning begins after 10:50 minutes, and the sunset countdown begins after 12:27 minutes. Most enemies have twice as much as health than on normal difficulty.{{cite web|rname=health_research}}
The following is a list of known differences between difficulty modes. The Wii U version of ''Pikmin 3'', which is most similar to ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'''s Hard difficulty, is included for comparison's sake.

===Ultra-Spicy===
==In other game modes==
Ultra-Spicy mode is the hardest difficulty. In it, days are shorter than 13 minutes, and enemies are stronger. Most notably, the [[100 Pikmin limit]] of Pikmin on the field is reduced to a 60 Pikmin limit. Fruits also provide half the amount of [[juice]] that they normally would.
{{stub|section=y}}
Internally, other game modes use rules based off of specific difficulty modes. Each stage is capable of specifying what difficulty mode it uses.
 
==Badges==
There are three [[badge (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|badges]] the player can gain from completing [[Story Mode]] on any given difficulty, without changing it at any point.
* '''Pikmin Challenger''': Obtained by beating Story Mode on Normal, Hard, or Ultra-Spicy difficulty.
* '''Pikmin Professional''': Obtained by beating Story Mode on Hard or Ultra-Spicy difficulty.
* '''Pikmin Master''': Obtained by beating Story Mode on Ultra-Spicy difficulty.
