Days

• A Day in Pikmin 3 Deluxe lasts exactly 13 minutes.
• Pikmin only need to be in a Captain’s group at the end of the day to be considered 'safe'. You can continue working until the last second.

Captains

• A Captain given a ‘Go Here’ command will run at the speed of a leaf Pikmin, which is slower than if controlled manually.

Pikmin

• A planted Pikmin will become a Bud after 2 minutes.
• A planted Pikmin will become a Flower after 4 minutes.
• Red Pikmin deal 1.5 times the damage of Blue and Yellow Pikmin.
• Pink Pikmin deal 0.5 times the damage of Blue and Yellow Pikmin.
• Yellow Pikmin dig at 2 times the speed of Red, Blue, Rock and Pink Pikmin.
• Placing double the required Pikmin on a resource will mean it moves at 2 times the speed it otherwise would. There is no benefit to carry speed unless double the required amount are moving the object.

Ultra Spicy Spray

• It takes 10 Ultra Spicy Berries to create one spray.
• One Ultra Spicy Spray lasts for a total of 30 seconds.
• Pikmin affected with Ultra Spicy Spray will automatically, and permanently, mature to their Flower state.
• Ultra Spicy Spray causes Pikmin to move faster, and deal extra damage.

Game Flow

There are 7 story 'elements' that, upon completion, will be the only thing you can do in that day in terms of progressing the plot. It will not be possible to complete the next story element within the same day after doing said event, as you will need the day to end to be able to move to another area and access the next 'part' of the game’s narrative. This means it is not possible to finish the game in any less than 7 days.

The 7 story elements are:

• Crash Landing (Introduction)
• Armored Mawdad (Retrieve Mobile Phone)
• Venemous Phosbat (Rescue the Captain)
• Sandbelching Meerslug (Extend Signal Range)
• Scornet Maestro (Cosmic Drive Key Here? Nope)
• Quaggled Mireclops (Cosmic Drive Key Here? Nope)
• Plasm Wraith (Final Boss, and Cosmic Drive Key)

You’ll still be unlocking new Pikmin up until the start of the Quaggled Mireclops event, which is when you find the Blue Pikmin. A speed run should aim to reach this point, and rescue the Blue Pikmin, as soon as possible as this gives you the most versatility when re-visiting areas.
