After cleaning the ship, he finds a stash of Pokos under his Pilot's Seat. He realizes that he saw more treasure on the far sides of the planet, twinkling as he left the planet the final time. He told the President and Louie, with the President cutting in and saying to go back and get every last ounce of treasure on the planet.

Enemies/Bosses
All enemies within both games appear with new enemies and bosses to change the playing field and trickiness to higher levels. A Piklopedia will soon be made for the various types of Enemies.
Difficulty (compared to Pikmin 2)
New enemies, bosses and treasures will make this considerably hard and time-consuming with 10 areas and 50 caves, it could take 50+ days to even speedrun Epic Pikvolution successfully. A no-death run is near-impossible, and even if achieveable could contain many resets and several sprays.
Challenge Mode
This contains both challenge modes from both games.
Area CM
All areas will have a CM counterpart with more Pellet Posys and more seed-giving enemies. Pages will be updated with CM walkthroughs and enemies.
Cave CM
Various special caves consisting of up to 10 sublevels will be featured in Cave CM. There are 50 caves to be featured in this mode. A list will be up soon.
