Pikmin 4 Academy Rewards in Bloom: Costumes, Maps and Points

Which activity grants which reward?

Use the activity column, not just the name of the game. The official campaign separates demo completion from exams, Story progress and point thresholds. On November 3, the new demo is available, but its qualifying exams begin after the full edition launches on November 12, including that day’s special session.

Requirement	Bloom reward described by official sources	Important boundary
Complete the new demo	Red Pikmin 4 Oatchi-Rider Costume	Same reward as the corresponding Story condition
Take the demo’s Mushroom Mash or Treat Transport exam	Special Story-linked postcard	Practice does not count; exams open after release
First view of Day 2-or-later Story results in the full game	Red costume and corresponding postcard	Identical rewards previously received cannot be received again
Take Mushroom Mash’s exam in the full edition	Special postcard	Campaign art is still labelled “In development”
Reach 600 Dandori Points	Special Cave Map	Usable after the Secret Cave feature releases in Bloom
Reach 1,400 points	One non-red Oatchi-Rider Costume variant	One permanent color choice
Reach 2,500 points	Special postcard	A separate point milestone

The help center confirms the special-postcard category for the full-game Mushroom Mash task. The campaign’s development placeholder does not establish its final illustration or an additional unnamed prize.

Which costume color should you choose at 1,400?

The official choices are Green, Orange, Blue, Purple and Pink. You choose one, and the help page says it cannot be changed afterward. Red belongs to the separate Story/demo reward; it is not one of the five choices at this threshold.

This is a cosmetic choice, not a source-backed gameplay-stat comparison. The reviewed sources do not assign a better point yield or exploration advantage to one color. Choose the appearance you want before confirming.

Use the points table to plan the numerical gap. It does not decide or submit your costume choice.

Can you collect the Cave Map and use it immediately?

The campaign says the map becomes usable after Secret Caves releases in Pikmin Bloom. Nintendo’s Direct describes that feature as scheduled for winter. A reward requirement or map image does not establish that the cave mode is already open on November 3.

Keep “reward earned,” “reward delivered,” and “feature available to use it” as three separate checks. A delivered map with future usability is different from a gift that never arrived.

Do the demo and full game give duplicate copies?

Not for the identical rewards covered by the campaign restriction. Previously receiving the corresponding costume or postcard does not create another entitlement by meeting the equivalent condition in a different version.

For a first claim, follow the linked-gift checklist. For something missing, check account and delivery history before unlinking accounts or repeating the activity. The exam schedule explains the launch boundary for exam-only rewards.

Which official sources support this guide?

• Official Bloom campaign: activity rewards, permanent choice and future map use.
• Official linked-gifts help: names, thresholds and delivery restrictions.
• Nintendo’s demo notice: completion costume and launch exception.
• Pikmin Day Direct: Secret Caves timing.

Checked November 3, 2026; future rewards are requirements, not a claim of personal receipt.
