Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn/Upgrades

"I see... This is quite the perplexing species of Pikmin." This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn, a fanon game created by DandoriDoondin.

This article or section needs to be cleaned up, either its format or general style. Notes: Table coding is super long and could probably be streamlined a bit.

Upgrades are collectible and unlockable perks in Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn that benefit leaders and Pikmin alike. They can be either bought with Luminum, Solium, and Pokos, or found as treasure. Some major upgrades either require other upgrades or a specific treasure. Upgrades transfer to New Game+ playthroughs, as some important upgrades can only be accessed near the end of the game.

Unlocks

• Master Medallion: unlocks Hard Mode, a New Game+ where the game becomes significantly harder.
• Forever Snake: unlocks Bottomless Pit, an endless cave to explore for a new high score.
• Memory Album: unlocks Boss Rush, a gauntlet of every boss in the game.
• Familiar Key: unlocks Challenge Mode, a series of challenges with various objectives to fulfill.
