The '''music''' of [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']] accompanies every mode of the game, from themes during gameplay to scores of cutscenes and menus, in order to provide a more engaging and focally directed experience. Generally, the textural style of the music reflects either the game's new mission from [[Hocotate]], the organic overworld of [[PNF-404]], or the specific visual theme of a [[cave]]; by vastly varying its unique instrumentations, register, and rhythms. During gameplay, each piece of music sets the mood for the particular environment, and adapts dynamically to what tasks Pikmin are carrying out, the identity and condition of the controlled [[leader]], and the time of [[day]]. Some tracks even adapt specifically to the actions of bosses. Between gameplay, pre-rendered cutscenes are scored with a large orchestra, and in-game cutscenes are scored with small ensembles. In general, compared with [[Music in Pikmin|the music of the previous game]], the soundtrack of ''Pikmin 2'' is less melodically driven, and more atmospheric, although this iteration of the game contains quite a few {{w|leitmotif}}s, or musical gestures that become associated with characters or ideas. | The '''music''' of [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']] accompanies every mode of the game, from themes during gameplay to scores of cutscenes and menus, in order to provide a more engaging and focally directed experience.

The soundtrack to ''Pikmin 2'' does not have an official album, unlike {{p1}} did with [[Pikmin World]].

Hajime Wakai and Kazumi Totaka's differing equipment can be used to determine which of the two composers was responsible for each particular song, as their songs will use samples recorded from their respective synthesizers. Additionally, the lists of songs in the various "trackMap" files, located in both the <code>/user/Wakai</code> and <code>/user/Totaka</code> folders respectively, also seem to attribute some songs to one of the two different composers. | Hajime Wakai and Kazumi Totaka's differing equipment can be used to determine which of the two composers was responsible for each particular song, as their songs will use samples recorded from their respective synthesizers.

However, this polka section was probably not considered likely to be heard; not much time is spent in the Bonuses menu. | ||

This seems to be the cutscene score on which all other [[Ship's dialogs|ship dialog cutscene scores]] are based. The introduction during which the catalyst of the dialog occurs is a simple melody on marimba, sometimes accompanied by hand percussion in cutscenes farther from the ship. After the introduction, time freezes and the ship begins explaining. During this time, a looping texture plays, since the dialog can last indefinitely. Simple, background pad instruments and electronic percussion (plus hand percussion like castanets) connect the ship's character to the dialog and to the lesson this cutscene teaches. | ||

Normally, this area's sunset theme has the melody played out by a music box, mirroring the other areas. But in the US and European versions of the GameCube original, there is a special version of the sunset track. The melody in it is played on instruments similar to the main Wistful Wild theme (flutes and such). This version only plays through once at the beginning of sundown, and when the song loops, it uses the standard all-music box version from there on out. This can be witnessed by pausing the game, or by opening an [[Onion]]'s menu, and does not happen at all in the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|New Play Control!]]'' versions. | |||

The 14 '''[[caves]]''' of the main game and the 30 caves of [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] use a total of 24 different compositions (plus a default 25th in Challenge Mode) for their sublevels (not including sublevels set exclusively for boss battles).

Several of these themes have multiple variants, which feature a slightly different melody, different instrument, or both. The cave themes are different from the area themes in that they are minimalistic and randomly generated, to reflect the more minimalistic and random layout of cave floors. Specifically, normal cave themes have very few instruments playing at once, and the main instruments either have preset rhythms and select randomly from a pitch set, or (more usually) have preset samples that play on randomly selected beats. That being said, the music will still dynamically add mixes to reflect parameters in gameplay. These parameters are the same as the [[#Areas|area themes]], but since there are no Burgeoning Spiderworts underground and since the time of [[day]] has no impact inside caves, there are no Spiderwort mixes or Sunset versions of these themes. The selection of a cave theme for a certain sublevel seems to depend on the design and content of the sublevel, although this happens more noticeably with some themes than with others; in Challenge Mode this is even less of a priority. Additionally, for some reason the music heard in Challenge Mode will lack the tempo reduction when a leader's health drops to 50%. The reason for this is unknown. | ||

Caves often tend to include more purposely synthetic-sounding instruments, since the landscape is likewise more unfamiliar than general [[area]] terrain. Although instruments in cave themes may sound like a particular natural instrument, there are timbres that distinguish this instrument as synthesized. For example, the main instrument here mimics a trombone, but still has enough differences in attack and cutoff to be an independent sound. It should also be noted that the same tabla groove from "[[#Fire|Fire]]" is used here, but it is now an electronic sound. The bass tabla from the aforementioned song has been replaced by the same bass sound used in ''[[#Emergence Cave 2|Emergence Cave 2]]''. | Caves often tend to include more purposely synthetic-sounding instruments, since the landscape is likewise more unfamiliar than general [[area]] terrain.

Bizarrely, in the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch]] version of ''Pikmin 2'', the samples for this song's lead instrument are missing.

As another example of synthetic instruments mimicking their real-life counterparts, the main melodic wind instrument in this piece is created with {{w|physical modeling synthesis}}, which is a unique form of sound synthesis that attempts to replicate the natural noise and intricacies of real-life acoustic instruments. Although this lead may not be designed to sound like any exact blown instrument, the timbre does slightly resemble a sort of single-reed. A pulse is implied in this piece, but a meter to organize that pulse is not as definable, especially when the percussion is randomly ordered. The highly varied instrumentation and erratic timing of patterns may influence the mixed and random selection of enemies on these floors. | As another example of synthetic instruments mimicking their real-life counterparts, the main melodic wind instrument in this piece is created with {{w|physical modeling synthesis}}, which is a unique form of sound synthesis that attempts to replicate the natural noise and intricacies of real-life acoustic instruments.

This simple theme | This simple theme only plays in toy-based sublevels, particularly in one layout with a wooden toy railroad. The theme itself sounds toylike, and takes a much more chipper, less atonal mood than other themes in the game, or even in the [[Glutton's Kitchen]]. The organ gestures are randomly selected, but each gesture is so similar that the general melody easily becomes recognizable. | ||

Heard in any sublevel containing a [[Giant Breadbug]]. Technically this is a boss theme since it is unique to the Giant Breadbug boss battle, but it functions like a cave theme in its randomness, and the player determines the changes in the music rather than the boss. Although the rhythms and structure of the theme are stable, the pitches selected to fill those rhythms are very random, across most of the instruments in the ensemble. The melody is similar to the group move fanfare played on baritone saxophone. | Heard in any sublevel containing a [[Giant Breadbug]].

This theme is very similar to "[[#Jellyfloat|Jellyfloat]]", with a mostly synthesized ensemble and an irregular time signature conveyed by one repeating gesture. Although the scenery of the sublevel, an underground submerged stump, does help this particular synthetic theme feel more organic. Two synthesized brass instruments are featured as the main randomized element of the piece. Both of them play in unison, one of them being detuned slightly, resulting in the chorus effect heard in-game. Interestingly, the tempo, drum kit, and tablas (along with their groove pattern) are identical to what's used in "[[#Fire|Fire]]". The shared instruments superimpose a 4/4 rhythm on the irregular gesture played by sine-waves. | This theme is very similar to "[[#Jellyfloat|Jellyfloat]]", with a mostly synthesized ensemble and an irregular time signature conveyed by one repeating gesture.

No matter what sublevel is being explored in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], collecting [[The Key]] will yield this theme (unless the leaders are still actively engaging a boss, in which case the theme is heard when the boss is defeated). Although the random organ and trumpet gestures can convey many different chord progressions on their own, the steady piano playing A♭ keeps the progression of the whole piece sounding like a suspended D♭ progression. There is no resolution to D♭, so this theme actually gives the player a sense of tension to continue on to the next sublevel or the end of the cave, augmented by the ticking clock, of course. It should also be mentioned that this track yields no swing variation if Louie takes the lead. | No matter what sublevel is being explored in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], collecting [[The Key]] will yield this theme (unless the leaders are still actively engaging a boss, in which case the theme is heard when the boss is defeated).

Due to an oversight, the bass drum can only be heard if the current sublevel's song was either ''[[#Soil 1|Soil 1]]'', ''[[#Soil 2|Soil 2]]'' or ''[[#Soil 3|Soil 3]]''.
