Mission settings
Missions settings can be found in root > content > CMCmn > system > mission_set and include a variety of pre-set values for Mission Mode stages - including Defeat bosses! stages.
Pikmin numbers
The Pikmin number parameters determine what Pikmin to display on the stage's preview - these are not necessarily the Pikmin you start with, and the number doesn't even matter; as long as it's greater than 0, it will be displayed (without any number, as shown in the image).
Within the mission_set folder is a miset_mis<mission number>_<mission type>_piknum.szs file for each Mission Mode stage (all three modes). This .SZS file is a SARC archive and can be extracted using Abood's SARC-Tool. Inside is a single .TXT file which you can edit using any general text editor.
There are 14 values - however you may see more numbers in the file; these aren't valid and will be ignored by the game. This is the order (from left-to-right) of the values:
- Purple Pikmin
- Blue Pikmin
- Red Pikmin
- White Pikmin
- Yellow Pikmin
- Winged Pikmin
- Rock Pikmin
- Violet Candypop Bud
- Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud
- Crimson Candypop Bud
- Ivory Candypop Bud
- Golden Candypop Bud
- Pink Candypop Bud
- Grey Candypop Bud
