Drablands Challenge

Drablands Challenges are more difficult versions of Levels in.

Overview
Drablands Challenges are special challenges added onto regular Levels, making them significantly more difficult. They become available once the main boss of the given Area is defeated. With the exception of the Den of Trials, each Area features Drablands Challenges, where each Level contains three types of challenges, each with varying goals and difficulty. Drablands Challenges can range anywhere from decreasing the Links' Heart Containers, requiring that they clear a Level within a certain time limit, or even neglect to provide them with items intended to solve certain puzzles in favor of different items. In addition to simply providing the Links with new goals, enemies that do not normally appear in the Levels may become present during these challenges. The Material rewards that the Links can earn at the end of a Drablands Challenge differ from the Materials they would receive if they were to complete the Level normally.

Completion List
The Drablands Challenge Completion List is a bulletin board that appears in every lobby of Hytopia Castle, with the exception of the Coliseum lobby. It lists Link's progress in completing the Levels and their Drablands Challenges. Whenever Link completes a Level or a challenge, either over multiplayer or with Doppels, a Triforce-shaped marker will be added to the Completion List to signify its completion. If however Link skips a Level's Stage during single-player, then the Level will not be marked on the list after completing it even though it will still be marked in the Level selection screen. Including the ordinary Levels and all of their Drablands Challenges, there are 128 markers to be filled.

On the bottom screen, Link can also check his completion records cleared only through multiplayer or with Doppels. Two tabs on the bottom screen can be pressed to show these individual records. Including both boards, there are a total of 256 challenges to clear, however each challenge is identical between both modes.

After Link completes all challenges of an Area, King Tuft will reward him with a unique, gold-quality Material (E.g. clearing all Woodlands Levels will award him the Supple Leaf), that can only otherwise be obtained through the Coliseum. After Link clears all 128 challenges on the main Completion List (not including the separate boards), the King will reward him with a Gold Rupee worth 300 Rupees.

Trivia

 * During the Nintendo Treehouse Live event at E3 2015, the Drablands Challenges were known as Challenge Courses.
 * Although the selection button to forego a Drablands Challenge simply reads "No", its internal text description is "Do that hero thing you do!".
 * The rim of the pedestal on which Link must place the glowing Orb or the fragile pot resembles King Tuft's collar and hair curls.
