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. The maximum score is extremely difficult to reach, due to 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 maximum score has never been reached by a human in the GameCube and Wii versions, and has only been done as a [[tool-assisted superplay]].{{cite youtube|_p1wH5CkmkM|of a tool-assisted superplay of The Distant Spring in Challenge Mode in which 752 points are reached}} In the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]], the challenge has been done by a human.{{cite youtube|R_8yqJhVTI4|of the first The Distant Spring Challenge Mode attempt by a human to reach 752 points}}
