Pikmin: Wide World/Achievements

Pikmin: Wide World features a wide array of achievements, inspired by Badges in, that challenge a player's skills. Besides being crucial in unlocking a special, hidden Pikmin type for use in alternate game modes, hunting and unlocking achievements provides no rewards or benefits other than player satisfaction and bragging rights. Achievements persist between save games, being affiliated with a user's profile rather than individual save games, which means multiple save games can contribute to fulfilling achievement criteria. They are unlocked permanently when the requirement to do so is met, and they can be viewed through the main menu on the title screen, and the pause menu during gameplay in Story Mode. Achievements are placed into five separate categories, which are Story, Battle, Challenge, Bottomless Abyss, and Universal. While achievements in the first four categories can only be obtained in their respective game modes, universal achievements can be unlocked in any game mode. Achievements are listed in no particular order, but they are grouped by game mode and similarity in goals.
