Enemies
=Gameplay= The gameplay modes in this game are similar to Pikspore, however, there are a few changes.

Easy Mode
Enemies have less health and are slower. The Pluckaphone upgrade is available from the start, Pikmin seeds become flowers faster, but days are longer and captains are immune to any damages.

Hard Mode
The gameplay is similar to, only without the time limit. Days are shorter, and many upgrades do not exist. Pikmin takes longer to respond to the whistle, and the enemies are faster with more health. Nectar is much rarer as well and there are no sprays. Swarming is the most effective tactic, unlike easy and normal modes. Players automatically get a good ending for completing this.

Classic Challenge
The goal is to grow as many Pikmin as the players can in one day. Enemy sets are customizable, and you can start in any of the difficulty settings.

Key Challenge
The goal is to find the key and bring it back to the within a set time limit and Pikmin amount. Players can start in one of the official caves, or go through new ones. Completing a level without losing Pikmin gets you a Pink Flower bonus.

Treasure Challenge
The goal is similar to Key Challenge, except players have to get every treasure in the cave. The hole to the next sublevel will not open until every treasure is collected in that sublevel. Note that there is no time limit, unlike Key Challenge. Players can start in any of the difficulty settings and in one of the official caves, or go through new ones.

Boss Run
This simple mode is unlocked when players complete the game, the goal is to beat all the bosses in the game, and start with fifteen of each Pikmin type, except for Purple Pikmin, which you get ten of those, totaling your Pikmin count to one hundred thirty. (the one hundred Pikmin limit is disabled in the boss run!) Players have to try and save as many Pikmin as possible because they will not get any more. Following this sublevel are several more, each containing one of the game's bosses.

Cave Creator
This mode is unlocked when players get a certain treasure. Players get to build their own caves and share them with other people.
