The [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]] have some '''menus''' that allow the player to pick an action or change an option. These can directly or indirectly affect gameplay. The menus in the series are normally decorated with a bubble theme. Generally, the [[throw]] button can be used to confirm an option, and the [[whistle]] button can be used to go back to the previous menu.
'''Menus''' in video games allow the player to navigate outside the game world, and the {{pg}} have several of these menus. Some menus allow access to gameplay or other menus, while others allow the viewing of bonus content, while others change the settings of the game. Menus in the ''Pikmin'' games tend to have a consistent graphical style featuring prominent use of bubbles.

*In ''Pikmin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Onion menu, attempting to take out more Blue Pikmin than there are in the Onion results in a message that contains a [[Mistake|typo]]. The message gets filled with the plural name for the Pikmin type, followed by "Pikmin", instead of the singular name. This leads to the message "There are no blues Pikmin to take out." The correct message would be "There are no blue Pikmin to take out." This has been fixed for {{npcp1}}.
