The Distant Spring is the hardest stage in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], giving the player 18 minutes and 54 seconds to reach a maximum score of 752 Pikmin. While it is theoretically possible to reach this score,{{cite youtube|_p1wH5CkmkM|of a tool-assisted superplay of the level in which 752 points are reached}} no human has reached it, with the highest recorded score being 728.{{cite youtube|1dmeIDoCPJs|of a Challenge Mode run with 728 points}} The reason for its difficulty is the large number of dangerous [[Enemy|enemies]] compared to the other Challenge Mode stages, and the fact that most enemies drop randomly-colored [[pellet]]s which have to be carried to the right [[Onion]] to get the most Pikmin. | |||

*The [[enemy reel]] shows The Distant Spring having different enemies, ship parts, and being more plain, without the hollow tree stumps.
