2.enemys pop up in new places to eat you,
3.day is longer,
4.you can work a little bit at night (a second or so)
5.Pikman take longer to find and be reproduced by by pellets (as in it's hard to find them in the ground)
6.areas are not the same in Challenge mode (including pellets and Pikmin in the ground)
Enjoy the mode!!!

To the right, around the corner is a clam type thing with a pearl in it's mouth. Stand next to it and put your site in it's mouth just next to the pearl. Grab a pikmin with a bomb rock and toss it it. It should land in, run out and throw it's bomb rock. Do this twice to kill it. Have them take it back to the onion and you get about 50 pikmin seeds!!!

How to get Purple Pikmin!
First, you need to all of the color Pikmin. Then go to the very first stage. From your space shudle, take out 28 yellow pikmin. Next, go to the cardboard box and get three of your yellow pikmin, and make them each pick up a bomb rock. After that, go to the stream. Then, when you get there throw all three of the yellow pikmin with bomb rocks into the stream. Next, when the night is over go into your space ships. After that, go back there in the morning and call the three yellow pikmin out of the water. Then they should be all purple. That was my hint for this day on Pikmin!
