The '''KopPad''' is a [[menu]] in {{p3}} with various functions. It can be used to view the [[radar]], see information about the world, and even take photos. In-universe, it is a device physically used by the [[leader]]s, and looks very similar to the [[Wii U]] GamePad. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', the GamePad represents this device and all its functions take place on the controller; in {{p3d}}, its functions take place on the main screen.
The '''KopPad''' (GPAD in Japan) is a device used by the [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is very similar to the [[Wii U]] GamePad. The device serves many purposes to help the characters through the game, and is likewise a gameplay mechanic for the player. The Wii U GamePad functions as this device during the game.


The KopPad's main use is in [[Story Mode]], where it has 5 [[#Apps|apps]] (6 in ''Deluxe'') that each have different functions. [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] canonically use KopPads in the [[Side Stories]] albeit with fewer functions; both of them comment on their pads in one instance.{{cite quote|No matter... This KopPad thing is proving quite useful.|[[Olimar]]|[[Flower Garden]]}}{{cite quote|This KopPad has been used...|[[Louie]]|[[Flower Garden]]}} In [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], the KopPad can also be used, but it is more limited like in the Side Stories. In the latter, it has no extra apps at all, and only shows the map.
The KopPad can be personalized, as its screen rim color matches that of their owner: [[Alph]]'s is blue, [[Brittany]]'s is pink, and [[Captain Charlie|Charlie]]'s is green. After crash-landing on the planet, Alph is separated from his KopPad. As a result, the player can't use it until the first [[bridge]] is built.


The KopPad can be personalized, as its screen rim color matches that of their owner: [[Alph]]'s is blue, [[Brittany]]'s is pink, and [[Captain Charlie|Charlie]]'s is green. The device is used in [[cutscene]]s to receive calls from other leaders and the [[S.S. Drake]]. At the beginning of the game after crash-landing on the planet, Alph is separated from his KopPad. As a result, the player cannot use it until after the first [[bridge]] is built.
In [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], the KopPad can also be used, but it is more limited. In the latter, it has no extra apps at all, and only shows the map.

{{main|Radar}}
The '''radar''' is the default app on the KopPad. It provides a map of the area, stylized so that water, terrain, structures, and boundary walls are high-contrast and easy to distinguish. It has a static level of zoom, and by default, the map is centered on the active leader. In ''Pikmin 3'', it is always visible on the GamePad if the player has [[Off-TV Play]] off, and unexplored parts of an area won't appear drawn out in the radar until the player approaches them. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the entire area is always drawn out, though unexplored portions are darker.

{{main|Data file}}
 
The '''Exploration Notes''' are a collection of all [[data file]]s found. The 120 data files are divided into six categories on this menu. This app is installed after one data file is recovered. If a category has no unlocked data files, it merely appears as an × symbol.

If a category has no unlocked data files, it merely appears as an × symbol. The following categories exist:
*[[File:P3 Exploration Notes Pikmin Behavior icon.png|24px]] [[Pikmin Behavior (Exploration Notes)|Pikmin Behavior]] (Pikminology in the European [[Region|version]])
*:These files explain the behavior and abilities of the Pikmin.
*[[File:P3 Exploration Notes Controls icon.png|24px]] [[Controls (Exploration Notes)|Controls]]
*:This category tells the basic controls of ''Pikmin 3'', as well as what to do in some special events.
*[[File:P3 Exploration Notes Indigenous Life icon.png|24px]] [[Indigenous Life (Exploration Notes)|Indigenous Life]]
*:Similar to the Piklopedia in ''Pikmin 2'', this discusses the wildlife and [[plants]] of [[PNF-404]], but is much less detailed, and focuses more on tips.
*[[File:P3 Exploration Notes Area Hints icon.png|24px]] [[Area Hints (Exploration Notes)|Area Hints]]
*:These notes provide hints on what to do in the immediate area.
*[[File:P3 Exploration Notes Olimar's Log icon.png|24px]] [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|Olimar's Log]]
*:These are personal notes from [[Olimar]]. They give an idea as to what Olimar has been doing on PNF-404 during the events of ''Pikmin 3''.
*[[File:P3 Exploration Notes Other icon.png|24px]] [[Secret Files|Other]]
*:This category is very different from the rest, in that it gives no helpful information or storyline. Each of these is a Secret File, with only a number and some Pikmin. Collecting all ten unlocks access to special cutscenes available online through the Wii U's internet browser only.

===Fruit File===
[[File:KopPad Fruit File Pikmin 3 Deluxe.jpg|thumb|left|A screenshot of the completed Fruit File.]]


The '''Fruit File''' is the fourth app on the KopPad. It is installed after the first fruit is recovered, and lists the types and amount of all collected fruits up to this point, sorted by order of collection. Tapping on a fruit will show its name, the amount of juice it's worth, how many of it have been collected, how many Pikmin are needed to carry it, Brittany's notes and finally, if the fruit radar has been unlocked, how many of this type of fruit there are in the game. The file for a fruit becomes available to view when the first specimen of that fruit is first juiced (including the first piece in a bundle of fruit, like the Dawn Pustules).
===Pikmin Info===
[[File:KopPad Pikmin Info.jpg|thumb|left|The Pikmin Info screen.]]
The '''Pikmin Info''' screen shows statistics about the Pikmin count. The top of the screen enumerates how many Pikmin there are of each type inside the [[Onion]], as well as on the field (idle or not). The total number of Pikmin on the Onion and the total on the field are also present.


When the fruit radar is unlocked, the total number of existing pieces of fruit is also displayed, and the total of instances of each fruit also appears in the file. A star on the top-right corner of each cell indicates all existing samples of that fruit have been collected.
The bottom half of the screen has three more numbers: the number of Pikmin that are under a leader's squad, the number of Pikmin working, and the number of Pikmin idling.

{{main|Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)}}
The '''Piklopedia''' shows all of the enemies that the player has beaten so far. There are 55 entries in the Piklopedia, with each enemy getting its own entry. Inside each entry, the player can find comments on the enemy from each [[leader]], a short video of the enemy in action, the areas the enemy can be found, and how many have been killed throughout all Story Mode playthroughs. The Piklopedia is only found in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''.

[[File:Pikmin 3 camera.jpg|thumb|left|The camera app.]]
By opening the '''camera''' app, the player can use the GamePad much like they would use a real camera. The GamePad's screen shows the scenery from the view of the leader, holding the KopPad like a camera. As the player rotates and moves the GamePad, the changes are reflected in what's displayed on the screen. (In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the player uses the joystick, rather than motion.) With this, the player can view the action from another perspective, and gain visual access to otherwise invisible details, such as the [[hidden murals]]. While it is not possible to walk manually while holding the camera, it is possible to use the camera on a leader under the Go Here! command.

On top of allowing a pseudo-first person view, this camera also allows the player to take images and share them on [[Miiverse]] on the original Wii U version, or save the taken pictures to the Nintendo Switch's album in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''. {{button|wiiu|lstick}} can be used to zoom in and out, with the default level of zoom being 1.3×, the minimum being 1.0×, and the maximum being 3.0×. Touching a part of the frame will cause anything at that distance to focus, and scenery at other distances to become blurred; naturally, the farther it is, the further it blurs.

{{button|wiiu|zl}} toggles the flash function. With it enabled, pictures will be taken with flash. This can be useful to lighten up otherwise dark pictures. Interestingly, the flash also causes an {{w|Tapetum lucidum#Eyeshine|eyeshine}} effect on Bulborbs, and most other creatures.

{{button|wiiu|zr}} or {{button|wiiu|a}} takes a picture. Before Miiverse's shutdown, users could create a post about this picture, as detailed [[Miiverse#Pikmin 3|here]]. Pictures that are taken, whether they are posted on Miiverse or not, also have a chance of appearing on the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection screen]], when the area they were taken in is highlighted.

Attempting to enter the camera app while the current leader is [[pluck]]ing, [[dodging]], [[spray]]ing, in pain from being hurt, or lying down on the ground (for instance, from getting [[electricity|zapped]]) will result in the game trying to switch to the KopPad camera mode, but in less than a second cancel it and return to the radar app. In addition, the camera app button does not function at all when the current leader is transitioning between sections of an area, or while the current leader is captured by an enemy other than the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] (for example, while swallowed by the [[Burrowing Snagret]]).

If one opens the camera underwater, sound become muffled, and some underwater sounds will play, in order to sell the idea that the player is underwater, same as the leader they are controlling.
==Badges==
In {{p3d}}, there are three [[badge (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|badges]] the player can gain from use of the KopPad:
*'''Shutterbug''': Take a photo with the KopPad's camera.
*'''Archaeology Hobbyist''': Take a photo of five hidden murals.
*'''Legendary Archaeologist''': Take a photo of all fifteen hidden murals.

*Oddly, when a leader uses their KopPad to contact another explorer, the latter is seen not holding their KopPad. Although unlikely, it is possible that it is placed on a stand to allow a better view of the recipient, as they can be seen leaning forward to turn it off.
