{{TOC right}}
The '''voyage log in ''Pikmin 3''''' is a daily log typed by one of the three main explorers of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Much like [[Olimar's voyage log]] from {{p1}}, they can detail events that occur during the day. They are different for each player, as they are written according to what was done or accomplished. If no significant events are accomplished during the day, a random entry from a list of several miscellaneous filler entries is chosen.

Every log entry is signed by the writer at the end. Below is a transcript of all voyage logs, as taken from the game's files. As such, the requirements needed and the writers for some of these are not known, and are merely speculative according to the entry's text. Underscores ("_") represent a variable number, like the number of [[fruit]] types gathered.

==Plot==
{{spoiler}}
Only the latest possible entry is chosen for each day, as sorted in this list. For instance, if the leaders saw the Armored Mawdad, but also defeated it in the same day, the entry log will be for defeating it.

===Before the start===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|{{color|PNF-404|orange}}, here we come! The SPERO's data indicates unlimited food resources! I can't wait to see the look on everyone's face when we bring unlimited food {{color|back to Koppai|orange}}! Wow! My first trip to another planet, and I'll be saving my home, too! My whole body is shaking with excitement... or space sickness; not sure which. Either way, I have a landing to prepare for!}}

I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces when we bring unlimited food {{color|back to Koppai|orange}}! Wow! My first trip to another planet and I'll be saving my home, too! My whole body is shaking with excitement...or space sickness. I'm not sure which it is. Either way, I have a landing to prepare for!}}

===Day 1===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We're shipwrecked on this planet! Some creatures called {{color|Pikmin|orange}} helped me find the S.S. Drake, but our {{color|cosmic-drive key |orange}}is nowhere to be found! We won't be going anywhere without that... Luckily, I made contact with Brittany and will set out to find her tomorrow. When I took off in the ship, the Onion took flight as well. Odd...but amazing!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Here we are, shipwrecked! Now we'll never get all of the planet's food! I made it back to the SS Drake with the help of some strange creatures called {{color|Pikmin|orange}}, but the {{color|cosmic drive key |orange}}was nowhere to be found! Luckily, I was able to contact Brittany and will head out to meet up with her tomorrow. When I took off in the ship, the Pikmin's Onion followed along. Odd...but amazing!}}

===No sign of Brittany===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I wasn't able to locate Brittany, so the {{color|search for edible matter |orange}}must wait. Finding Brittany must be my top priority! She must be starving by now! I know I am. Maybe I'll try to take my mind off my tummy by doing some writing. A little poetry always seems to make me feel better...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|I wasn't able to locate Brittany, so the {{color|search for edible matter |orange}}must wait. Finding her must be my top priority! Poor Brittany, she must be completely starving by now... and knowing her, she won't be very happy about that fact!}}

===No sign of Brittany and out of food===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|The search for Brittany continues...but I've somehow managed to eat the last of my food. Sometimes I wonder why we Koppaites don't have better control over our appetites. But every time I think about it, my tummy starts rumbling... Tomorrow I'll {{color|expand my search|orange}}. With luck, I'll find something—something juicy and delicious.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Still no Brittany...and somehow I've eaten the last of my food already. Sometimes I wonder why we Koppaites can't manage to control our appetites better. But if I think about it for long, my tummy starts rumbling and... Well anyway, tomorrow I'll {{color|widen my search|orange}}. With any luck, I'll find something. Maybe something juicy and delicious...}}

===Saw Brittany===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Whew! Today I managed to make contact with {{color|Brittany|orange}}! She said she was just taking a nap. I wish I could be that calm right now. There's so much I can learn from Brittany. Maybe I'll try some breathing exercises... It's a bit difficult to do those effectively inside this helmet, though.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Today I managed to communicate with {{color|Brittany|orange}}. She said she'd just been taking a nap. I wish I could be that calm right now. There's so much I can learn from Brittany. Maybe I'll try some breathing exercises... Kind of hard to do in this helmet, though.}}

===Saw Brittany and out of food===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|How am I out of food already?! It seems that we Koppaites never have enough food! Finding Brittany remains a top priority, but getting {{color|food|orange}} tomorrow needs to be an absolute-top-priority priority!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|How can I be out of food already?! It seems we Koppaites have a lot to learn about sustainable eating. I still need to find Brittany, but if I don't come back with some {{color|food|orange}} tomorrow, I'm in big trouble.}}

===Saw the first fruit===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|A Fruit Jamboree / I discovered a food source! Such a juicy slice of joy for all of Koppai! The Drake must still analyze, but the sweet taste of hope dances its way across the tip of my ticklish tongue. For now, I do declare that all shall kick their heels in a giant fruit jamboree!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|I may have discovered a food source! I won't know for certain until I get the {{color|giant fruit |orange}}back to the Drake for analysis, but it looks promising. A big, juicy slice of hope for Koppai!}}

===Saw the first fruit and out of food===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|My food is somehow...gone! I knew I should have packed more food for the trip! I hope I can get that {{color|giant fruit|orange}} that Brittany discovered. I really hope it turns out to be edible. And I really, really hope it turns out to be tasty. I'll bring it back to the ship tomorrow to analyze it thoroughly.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|My food is somehow...gone! I knew I should have packed more food for the trip! I hope I can retrieve the {{color|giant fruit|orange}} that Brittany found. I also hope it turns out to be OK for us to eat. And I really, really, really hope it turns out to be tasty. I'll try to get it back to the ship tomorrow for proper analysis (and tasting!).}}

===Collected the first fruit===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|According to the Drake's equipment, the plant I brought back is an edible fruit! That means we can {{color|store the juice for our own food supply|orange}}! Not only that, but we can also take the {{color|seeds|orange}} back home and use those as a food resource. The more seeds we take home, the more people we'll be able to save on Koppai! Hm. Maybe there is something to this "recycling" thing...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|According to the Drake's equipment, the fruit I brought back is edible! What a relief. It means we can {{color|store the juice for our own food supply|orange}}. Not only that, but we can also take the {{color|seeds|orange}} back home and use them to produce more fruit. The more seeds we take home, the more people we'll be able to save on Koppai!}}

===Discovered Rock Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|The Onions go airborne when the sun sets. This must be a defense mechanism against {{color|nocturnal predators|orange}}. I was surprised that the Rock- and Red- Pikmin Onions combined into one when the Drake took off. Guess the color differences don't mean much to them. Interesting...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|It looks like the Onions take to the air when the sun sets. This must be a defence mechanism against {{color|nocturnal predators|orange}}. When the Drake took off I was surprised to see the Red Pikmin and Rock Pikmin Onions combine. Maybe differences in type don't matter much to Pikmin? They certainly make a good team.}}

===Discovered Rock Pikmin and collected the first fruit===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Analyzing the recovered fruit back at the Drake, it was deemed {{color|suitable for Koppaite consumption|orange}}. There's got to be more where that came from. Also, it looks like these {{color|hard-bodied |orange}}Rock Pikmin are sticking around, which is good news. With their help, I'm sure I'll be able to reach Brittany soon.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Back on board, we ran some analysis on the piece of fruit we retrieved and found it {{color|suitable for Koppaite consumption|orange}}. There's got to be more where that came from! Also, it looks like the {{color|hard-bodied|orange}} Rock Pikmin will be joining the gang, which is a reason to be cheerful. I'm sure that with their help I'll be able to reach Brittany.}}

===Reunited with Brittany===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I've finally reunited with Brittany, one of my shipmates. Since she's a botanist, she'll be {{color|making the reports on the food we gather|orange}}. She's also in charge of rationing out our daily food supply, which is depleting unusually fast, now I think about it. Hmm, I'll have to keep an eye on her...}}

===Reunited with Brittany and collected the first fruit===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Back on board, we ran an analysis on the fruit we retrieved and found it {{color|suitable for Koppaite consumption|orange}}. It looks like there is plenty more where that came from! Reuniting with Brittany, finding this fruit... It's still early, but things seem to be taking a turn for the better!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Back on board, we ran some analysis on the piece of fruit we retrieved and found it {{color|suitable for Koppaite consumption|orange}}. There's got to be more where that came from! Reuniting with Brittany, finding fruit... It's still early days, but things look to be taking a turn for the better!}}

===Saw the Armored Mawdad's tree stump===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We discovered a mysterious broadcast signal... What on Koppai could it be? It might be our captain, but something tells me that it could be related to that {{color|person |orange}}who has been leaving all of those data files for us. I'll have to find out tomorrow. The suspense is killing me!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|What in the name of Koppai is that mysterious signal coming from the other side of the wall? Could it be the same {{color|intelligent life form|orange}} that has been leaving us all these data files? Or maybe it's our Captain after all? Tomorrow I intend to find out.}}

===Got Olimar's data file before the Armored Mawdad===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Near the source of that mysterious signal, we found a note left by someone named {{color|Captain Olimar|orange}}. It appears that this Olimar is from Hocotate. Perhaps he's transmitting the signal? Or maybe it's our captain! Tomorrow we'll have to find out what is going on...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We found a data file near the source of that mysterious signal, over the wall. It was by someone called {{color|Captain Olimar|orange}}, who we think may be from Hocotate. Perhaps he's the one sending out the signal? Or maybe it really is our Captain, after all. Tomorrow we'll have to go and find out...}}

===Saw the Armored Mawdad===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We encountered some sort of gigantic creature in a dark, dank cave. Attacks from the Red Pikmin have no effect on the monster's tough exoskeleton. It seems that the {{color|mysterious signal |orange}}we've been tracking is actually emanating from inside the creature! Gross! We'll have to defeat it to get to the bottom of this. I have a feeling this isn't going to be pretty.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We encountered some sort of gigantic centipede lying in wait in a dimly-lit cave. Attacks from the Red Pikmin seem to have no hope of getting through the monster's crystal exoskeleton. The {{color|mysterious signal |orange}}is coming from inside it - but why? I'm afraid that the only way to find out is by defeating this creature.}}

===Defeated the Armored Mawdad===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Thanks to the Rock Pikmin, we managed to defeat the giant creature. We found a {{color|mysterious communication device|orange}} inside its belly. I'm unsure of its origins, but my keen engineer's eye says it's from an advanced civilization. I'll see if I can confirm this once I get it back to the S.S. Drake.}}

I'm unsure of its origins, but my keen engineer's eye says it's from an advanced civilization. I'll see if I can confirm this once I get it back to the SS Drake.}}

===Collected the Data Glutton===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We recovered the communication device that was inside the Armored Mawdad. According to Alph, this device contains parts that may {{color|expand the Drake's communications range|orange}}. I've never seen him so excited! I'm more than happy to write today's report while Alph examines the device. Sometimes he can be so diligent!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We recovered the communications device that was inside the Armoured Mawdad. According to Alph, this device contains parts that may {{color|expand the Drake's communications range|orange}}. I've never seen him so excited. He can't tear himself away from the thing! I'm more than happy to write today's report while Alph examines the device. Sometimes he can be so diligent!}}

===First landing in the Distant Tundra before completing the bridge===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We followed the {{color|captain's signal |orange}}into a desolate tundra. Due to poor visibility, I mishandled the ship, and uh...well, I lost control, and...Brittany was thrown overboard. Searching for her in blizzard-like conditions won't be easy, but I was able to verify that she's safe!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We followed the {{color|Captain's signal|orange}} to a desolate tundra. Visibility was terrible, and I must have messed up somehow because the auto-eject kicked in and threw Brittany overboard. Searching for her in these blizzard-like conditions won't be easy, but I was at least able to verify that she's safe!}}

===Second day in the Distant Tundra before completing the bridge===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I was able to locate Brittany on the opposite shore but haven't been able to reunite with her. We need to regroup soon.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|I've managed to locate Brittany on the opposite shore, but I haven't been able to reunite with her. I hope she's all right over there on her own. We need to find a way to regroup soon.}}

===Third day in the Distant Tundra before completing the bridge===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Quite a bit of time has passed since Brittany and I were separated. At least she has some shelter inside that cave. But it's probably still so cold. I need to find her quickly. If she gets hungry, I hope she knows better than to eat too much snow. The only thing worse than a brain freeze is an empty-stomach freeze!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Quite some time has passed since Brittany and I were separated. At least I know she has shelter inside that cave. I bet it's not very comfortable, though. I need to find a way to regroup with her very soon. Knowing her, she's probably eating piles and piles of snow and giving herself a terrible tummy ache!}}

===Fourth day in the Distant Tundra before completing the bridge===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Quite a bit of time has passed since Brittany and I became separated. She must be so hungry by now, and Brittany gets so ornery when she's hungry. I wish I had some sort of bad-mood sensor I could use to track her down! What am I going to do?!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Quite a bit of time has passed since Brittany and I became separated. Brittany gets pretty crotchety even when she's a little hungry, and she must be ravenous by now. I'd better find a way to regroup with her before she gets too scary to bother!}}

===Completed the double bridge===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We finally completed the bridge over to the other shore! And Brittany discovered a type of {{color|Yellow Pikmin|orange}}! Besides their big ears, I'm excited to find out what other unique characteristics they may possess! I'll have to observe them closely... Good thing they're so cute to look at! Whew! What a day!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We finally managed to get a bridge built between the ship's landing spot and the opposite shore. I wonder if the {{color|Yellow Pikmin|orange}} that Brittany discovered have any unique characteristics besides their big ears? We'll have to observe them closely.}}

===Second day after completing the double bridge===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|An Ode to Captain Charlie / O Captain Charlie, Where could you be? Can you control your appetite? Will you teach me? For many years, I've seen you as a mentor. O Captain Charlie, I really need to work on my rhyming.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|- Ode to Captain Charlie, by Alph - Oh Captain Charlie, where could you be? I'm thinking of you. Are you thinking of me? You have long been my hero, and now you're my friend (I hope). I refuse to believe that you've met a bad end (though Brittany's not quite so sure). Hmm... Poetry never was my strong point.}}

===Saw the Vehemoth Phosbat===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We were hot on the trail of the captain's signal when we encountered a second {{color|monstrous creature|orange}}! It was too dark to get a good look at it, but might this creature hold a clue to the captain's whereabouts?}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We were hot on the tail of the Captain's signal when we encountered a second {{color|monstrous creature|orange}}. It was too dark to get a good look, but I believe it may be the key to the Captain's whereabouts.}}

===Defeated the Vehemoth Phosbat===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Thanks to the Yellow Pikmin, we were able to defeat the Vehemoth Phosbat! And, much to everyone's surprise, we found our {{color|captain |orange}}inside the beast! Wow! And can you believe our luck? He found a data file from someone named {{color|Olimar|orange}}...who has our {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}! But where in the world is this {{color|Olimar|orange}}? Where?! We need that key!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Thanks to the Yellow Pikmin, we managed to defeat a Vehemoth Phosbat. And, much to our surprise, we found our {{color|Captain |orange}}inside the beast! I'm amazed that he was able to stay alive in the stomach of a{{sic}} such a hideous monster. That's a true hero for you! I wanted to hug him, but the smell put me off a bit.}}

===First day before returning to the Tropical Wilds===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Now that we have the captain back safe and sound, we'll begin exploration of this planet in earnest tomorrow. We should see if there are any {{color|undiscovered areas|orange}} in the places we've already visited.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Now that we have the Captain back safe and sound, we can begin exploration of this planet in earnest. We'll start tomorrow. I'm sure there are {{color|undiscovered areas|orange}} even in places we've already visited.}}

===Second day before returning to the Tropical Wilds===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Although we have the captain back, we haven't made much progress over the last few days. The search for edible matter is why we're here, but if we don't find that {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}, we'll never be able to get all this food back to Koppai! We should check the map next time we go out and see if any places look suspicious.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Although we have the Captain back, we haven't made much further progress over the last few days. We're here to search for edible matter, but if we don't find that {{color|cosmic drive key|orange}}, we'll never be able to get all of this food back to Koppai! We should check the map next time we go out, and see if we can find any clues.}}

===Returned to the Tropical Wilds===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We returned to the site of my original crash landing. Something here is sending out an electronic signal. Was it there earlier? It seems that the signal is somehow connected to that {{color|Hocotatian|orange}} who picked up our {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}. It's going to take a team effort to track this thing down! Saving our planet is turning out to be more difficult than I thought it would be...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We went back to the site of my first crash landing. I didn't detect it before, but there's something there emitting a strong electronic signal. We're hoping it has something to do with that {{color|Hocotatian|orange}} who we think picked up our {{color|cosmic drive key|orange}}. If the three of us work as a team, I'm sure we'll be able to find out!}}

===Second day before seeing the Folded Data Glutton===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Several days have passed without any leads on the {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}. Searching for fruit is important, of course, but we really need to track down the signal that seems to be coming from Captain Olimar. The area where I first crashed... I have a feeling something big is there...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Several days have passed without any leads on the {{color|cosmic drive key.|orange}} Searching for fruit is important, of course, but we really need to track down the signal that seems to be coming from Captain Olimar. That area where I crashed... I have a feeling something is there...}}

===Saw the Folded Data Glutton===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Beyond the dense jungle, at the end of a strangely foreboding pathway...we found ourselves in a vast desert. It rather resembles the terrain of Koppai. There we found a new {{color|communication device|orange}}! I'm starting to get a little homesick... That or it's just getting stuffy here in my helmet.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Through the dense jungle, at the end of a strangely foreboding pathway, we came upon a vast desert. It reminded me of the terrain of Koppai, and I've started to feel quite homesick. That, or I'm just getting too much oxygen in my helmet. Anyway, we found a new {{color|communications device |orange}}there!}}

===Saw the Sandbelching Meerslug===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We discovered the intricately designed {{color|communication device |orange}}that was emitting the signal. Unfortunately, a ginormous creature appeared and swallowed it up! The animals on this planet eat everything! The device's signal was really strong, so I think we could use it to boost the Drake's communication system even further. Now, if we could just get to it somehow...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We found the complex {{color|communications device|orange}} that was emitting the signal. Unfortunately, an enormous creature appeared and swallowed it up. It seems the beasts on this planet will eat anything! The signal the device gives out is really strong, so it would be great if we could use it to boost the Drake's communication system. If we can just get to it somehow...}}

===Defeated the Sandbelching Meerslug===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|The Demise of the Meerslug / Poor planners we Koppaites be, but defy us at your own peril. A {{color|communication device|orange}}! Recovered from within the dank belly of the Meerslug. A keen engineer can see that it may {{color|expand the Drake's communications range|orange}}. In such a dark and stinky demise, it takes a keen engineer can see what it may...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We managed to defeat the enormous creature without any of us getting swallowed up! And when we finally did, it spewed the {{color|communications device |orange}}back up. The signal this one gives is stronger than the signal from the last one, and I'm hoping I can use it to {{color|expand the Drake's communications range|orange}}.}}

===Collected the Folded Data Glutton===
*'''Character''': Charlie
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We showed that beastly Meerslug who was boss and retrieved the {{color|communication device|orange}} without incident. Alph is working on incorporating the device's transmitter into the Drake's communication systems. The creatures on this planet will eat anything! What gluttons. I'm glad we Koppaites aren't like that...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We managed to retrieve the {{color|communications device|orange}} that the enormous creature swallowed. Alph is working hard on incorporating parts of it into the Drake's communications system. Well, it seems as if the greedy creatures on this planet will swallow just about anything...including us, if we're not careful.}}

===First landing in the Twilight River===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I've successfully expanded the Drake's communication range, thank you very much! This allowed us to hone in on an unknown signal. I think we are getting closer to that {{color|Hocotatian|orange}} with our {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}! Now I need to rest though. I was up all night working on the communication system, and I deserve...a little... Zzzzzzz...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|I managed to expand the Drake's communications range, so we were able to pick up another unknown signal. I think we're getting closer to that {{color|Hocotatian|orange}} and our {{color|cosmic drive key|orange}}! Now I need to rest though, to get ready for tomorrow's search. Been up all night working...}}

===Saw the Winged Onion===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We discovered a {{color|new type of Onion |orange}}on the other side of the river, but it remains entangled in some sort of web. Based on what we've observed so far, Pikmin seem to evolve according to their environment. I'm thinking that new Pikmin will be helpful in exploring this area. Perhaps they'll join us if we free the Onion.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We discovered a {{color|new type of Onion |orange}}on the other side of the river, entangled in the web of some creature. Based on what we've observed so far, Pikmin seem to evolve according to their environment. It would be useful to have a new type to help us in our exploration. Perhaps we can free that Onion...}}

===Freed the Winged Onion===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We built a bridge and freed the pink Onion, from which a single Pikmin seed popped out. However, I completely forgot to {{color|pluck the Pikmin sprout out of the ground|orange}}, so I'm still not quite sure what abilities these {{color|pink Pikmin |orange}}possess.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We built a bridge and rescued the pink Onion. A single Pikmin seed then popped out of it. However, we completely forgot to {{color|pluck the Pikmin sprout out of the ground|orange}}, so we're still not sure what abilities these {{color|pink Pikmin|orange}} might possess.}}

===Discovered Winged Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|After bridging the river, we secured another Onion from a predator. This Onion then sprouted a {{color|Winged Pikmin|orange}}! These Pikmin can fly and {{color|traverse bodies of water|orange}}. More careful observation is needed to determine any other characteristics they possess.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|After bridging the river, we saved the trapped Onion from a predator. The Onion then sprouted a {{color|Winged Pikmin|orange}}!

===Lifted the dam===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We've made contact with the mysterious {{color|Captain Olimar|orange}}. This is the Hocotatian who we believe has been providing us with the data memos! It looks like he is in danger, though. If something happens to him, we may lose our {{color|cosmic-drive key |orange}}for good! Time to call in the Koppai cavalry!}}

===Saw the Scornet Maestro===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Our only link to the {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}, Captain Olimar, was snatched up by a swarm of flying creatures right before our eyes! At least they didn't swallow him. We then saw a huge creature that may have been the swarm's leader. If we can {{color|defeat that huge monster|orange}}, maybe they'll release Captain Olimar. I hope so...}}

===Defeated the Scornet Maestro===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Well...there's good news and there's bad news. The good news is we freed Captain Olimar! The bad news is we had to leave him out there in the wild.

*'''US text''': {{transcript|The size of this planet is making achieving our goals quite a challenge. We need to simultaneously explore the planet as we gather fruit. In order to achieve that with our limited resources, I've assigned Alph to exploration while Brittany will help me search for fruit. I don't like breaking up the team, but I think it's necessary.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|I am astounded by the size of this planet. We must explore vast unknown expanses as we search for edible matter. To achieve this we clearly need a disciplined chain of command. Alph can explore new areas alone, while Brittany and I look after the food, perhaps... In any case, assigning leaders to work on different tasks is a good way to increase efficiency.}}

===Pikmin 1===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Pikmin always transport their spoils back to the Onion. Upon close observation, it appears that a pellet carried by Pikmin of the same color will spawn greater numbers than one carried by Pikmin of a different color.

===Pikmin 2===
*'''Character''': Unknown

===Pikmin 3===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|It's hard to tell what goes on inside the head of a Pikmin. Sometimes, they seem to behave in an almost trancelike state. The yellow nectar is definitely a big hit with them, though! They don't have eyes for anything else when that stuff is around! They were so happy after gorging themselves on it... I miss my family.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|It's hard to tell what goes on inside the head of a Pikmin. Sometimes they seem to do everything almost as if they're in a trance.

===Pikmin 4===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|The leaf on a Pikmin's head can develop into a bud or a flower. It appears that if Pikmin sprouts are left in the ground, these leaves will develop over time. This is very much like a plant, and yet once they are plucked out of the ground, they have eyes and limbs like the cutest creatures ever! So fascinating!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|The leaf on a Pikmin's head can develop into a bud, and then into a flower.

===Pikmin 5===
*'''Character''': Alph

*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Even Pikmin who are panicking in water and are at risk of drowning try to return to their leader when called with the whistle. If I see Pikmin who are panicking for any reason, I must remember to keep calm myself and try whistling at them.}}

===Red Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|After observing the Red Pikmin, I've come to the conclusion that they are actually fully resistant to fire. They also appear to be extremely ferocious fighters, despite their appearance. They remind me of the captain in that way.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Red Pikmin are fully flame-resistant, which means that they can handle fiery environments with ease. Furthermore, you might not think it to look at them, but they attack with great ferocity and are very useful in a fight. In that respect, they're pretty similar to the Captain!}}

===Rock Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Rock Pikmin are as hard as rocks, so they do a lot of damage when thrown directly at a target. Considering how dense and chunky their bodies are, their legs are surprisingly slender. How they manage to support themselves is a mystery to me!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|I've been observing the Rock Pikmin, and it appears that they are capable of delivering quite a powerful blow when thrown directly at a target. Considering how dense and chunky their bodies are, their legs are surprisingly slender. How they manage to support themselves is a mystery to me!}}

===Yellow Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Fascinating! The Yellow Pikmin actually have a lower body density and can thus be thrown higher than the other Pikmin! This is in addition to their ability to manipulate electricity and the appearance of their adorably large ears.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Fascinating! Yellow Pikmin actually have lighter bodies than other types of Pikmin and can thus be thrown higher. Incidentally, their ability to handle electricity appears to be entirely unrelated to their delightfully large ears.}}

===Winged Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|After observing these Winged Pikmin, my conclusion is that they are not very effective in combat. However, since they possess the ability to fly, they can be extremely useful for accomplishing certain tasks. I will keep an eye out for any opportunities to utilize their unique ability.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Having observed the Winged Pikmin in action, I have to conclude that combat is not their strong point. However, since they possess the ability to fly, they can be extremely useful for accomplishing certain tasks. I will have to keep an eye out for any opportunities to utilise this unique ability.}}

===Blue Pikmin===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Careful observation of the Blue Pikmin has revealed that they have the ability to swim as well as attack in the water! The way they open their mouths is so cute, but I think that is their way of extracting oxygen from the water. There appear to be openings on their cheeks that resemble gills.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|Careful observation of the Blue Pikmin has revealed that they have the ability to swim as well as attack in the water! The way they open their mouths makes them look like they're laughing - it's very cute but in actual fact I think that this 'laughter' is the Blue Pikmin using their gills to breathe underwater.}}

==Areas==

===Tropical Wilds===
*'''Character''': Charlie
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Man, this place is wet! Lotta water, lotta plants. It's good, though! I can feel the humidity even through my suit. This place is suitable for vegetation and vacation.

*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|This place is wet, and the area we explored today was wetter than most. I could feel the humidity even through my suit. But lots of water means lots of plants. It makes sense that we'll be able to find a good supply of food here...}}

===Garden of Hope===
*'''Character''': Charlie
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I've never been a sucker for flowers, but man, this place really takes my breath away! I've never seen flowers so big! I mean, they're such huge monuments of beauty and life and... It's just so... It makes you think about what really matters... Excuse me for a second. I think I got some spacedust in my eye...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|The flowers on this planet are truly beautiful. The area we explored today was full of enormous specimens, quite unlike anything we have back on Koppai. I can't help but wonder... Surely any woman would be bowled over if presented with a bouquet of such giant blooms?}}

===Distant Tundra===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|The weather here varies quite a bit from area to area. We would've been frozen had it not been for our space suits! I'm certain that the captain is still alive somewhere in this tundra. That man never takes his suit off...}}

===Twilight River===
*'''Character''': Charlie 
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I gotta say, the plants on this planet are... evocative! Real evocative, yep! The leaves changing colors, the smells—it's all evocative of times past... Times lost. Times lost out there in space, with...things like water and stirring nostalgia and tickling sensibilities and whatnot. It all lets a Koppaite forget about the battle for just—I've been hanging out with Alph too long...}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|The natural landscapes on this planet have much to offer a man of refined aesthetic tastes such as myself. Being such an experienced ranger, I've travelled all over the galaxy and seen many an interesting sight, but I must admit that the plants and flowers here have moved me in a way that, even with my considerable powers of expression, I find difficult to describe.}}

===Formidable Oak===

*'''US text''': {{transcript|We finally tracked down {{color|Captain Olimar|orange}}, but some sort of mysterious life-form seems to be pursuing him relentlessly. We must get him back to the Drake! I don't know how much more we can take. There isn't any fruit here, and the crew's morale seems to be sinking... We must make this one last push!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|We've finally found Captain Olimar, but it appears he's being pursued by some kind of bizarre life form. We need to try to get him back to the Drake, and escape from this labyrinth. In all likelihood this will be our final struggle. Unfortunately, though, there isn't a single piece of fruit here. Brittany's morale seems to be sinking, but I must get her to make one last push...}}

==Special entries==
These entries are written during special occasions.

===Day 60===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Sixty days have passed since we landed on this planet. My only pleasures are in the juice and the hot bath I get at the end of each day. Luckily, water is plentiful on this planet, and my crewmates always let me have the first soak. Even so, I can't help but get a little creeped out by the captain's rubber ducky. It just floats there, staring at me...}}

Luckily, water is plentiful on this planet. Alph and the Captain always draw the bath and let me have the first soak. Somehow I always find the Captain's Rubber Ducky floating there and staring at me, though. It's a bit off-putting...}}

===Day 70===
*'''Character''': Charlie
*'''US text''': {{transcript|The only beds we have on this voyage are sleeping bags. Each member of the crew has found a favorite spot to sleep in. Alph takes the pilot's seat, while Brittany likes to be close to the food supplies. I prefer to be near the door to stand guard. Being ever vigilant makes restful sleep difficult, but as captain, it's just part of my job.}}

Alph takes the pilot's seat, while Brittany likes to be close to the food supplies. I prefer to be near the door to stand guard. Being ever vigilant makes restful sleep difficult, but as Captain, it comes with the territory.}}

===Day 80===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We've managed to survive 80 days here, far from our native Koppai. And it's all thanks to this planet's fruit. I was assigned to this mission to study the plant life, and if I've learned one thing, it's just how important these plants are to our survival. When I get back to Koppai, I'll show everyone how we can manage our botanical resources for the greater good!}}

===Day 90===
*'''Character''': Charlie
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Since we arrived on this planet, 90 days have passed. We've explored just about every corner we can reach. Still...I can't help but wonder about the other side of this planet. What could be there? It piques my curiosity as an explorer, but I suppose it's not worth the risk this time. Right now, it's more important to think about how to get home!}}

===Got all fruit===
*'''Character''': Brittany
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We've completed our mission and harvested all of the {{color|edible matter |orange}}from this planet. Everyone on Koppai will be so happy to— Oh, but now I'm getting ahead of myself! We still need to get the {{color|cosmic-|orange}}{{color|drive key|orange}}! Let's track that thing down and be on our way!}}

Let's track that thing down and be on our way!}}

===Final day (day 99)===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|We've now exhausted all of our juice, and there doesn't appear to be any more fruit available on the planet. There's only one course left for us. We have to retrieve our {{color|cosmic-drive key|orange}}, and we have to do so tomorrow. If we don't, we are going to be in very serious trouble indeed...}}

==Filler entries==
These entries are written when there all other options have already been shown. Unlike most entries, these can appear multiple times on a single playthrough. The entry used depends on the day.

===Day 35 or earlier===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|I'm marking this as Day _ since we touched down. It still seems unreal that we are 279,000 light-years away from home. This is exactly the kind of experience I've been longing for! I think that saving my home planet is going to be really good for my poetry writing.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|It's been _ days since we first landed on this planet. It still seems unreal that we're 279,000 light years away from home. Sometimes I begin to question whether or not I am really still alive. What if, when the Drake crashed... No, I can't think about it. I just have to keep moving forward!}}

===Days 36&ndash;49===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|Day _ since we first landed. It was rough going early on, but I'm getting used to it here. I wonder if maybe we could stay... Life on such a beautiful planet with an endless food supply?! How great would that be? Oh, but I can't think like that right now! Friends and family back on Koppai are waiting with open arms and empty stomachs!}}

===Days 51&ndash;69===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|It has been _ days since we first landed on this planet. Trapped on an alien world for _ days, and I'm much more exhausted than I ever could have imagined. Our only comfort after _ days is the knowledge of how delicious the food on this planet is. It takes a lot of flavor to keep your spirits up after _ days. A lot of flavor...and a lot of fruit. I think I'm losing it after _ days...}}

It has exhausted us more than I could have imagined. _ days, and our only comfort has been in the delicious taste of the fruit here. We're lucky, I suppose, but it takes a lot of flavour to keep your spirits up after _ days.}}

===Days 71&ndash;89===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|It has now been _ days since we first touched down. I want to go home. I miss my family. I know this mission is important, though, so I will continue to soldier on. My hard work here will just make returning to Koppai all that much sweeter!}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|It's been _ days since we first landed on this planet. I want to go back to Koppai. I want to see my family...}}

===Day 91 or later===
*'''Character''': Alph
*'''US text''': {{transcript|It's been _ days since we first landed on this planet. I'm so tired. Tired as...as...as someone who can't even think of a simile. Even my poetry has left me.}}
*'''Europe text''': {{transcript|It's been _ days since we first landed on this planet. I'm so tired... I've got nothing left to write.}}

== Notes ==
* The filler entry "[[#Days 51–69|Days 51–69]]" in the US version is too long to be displayed properly, and the text cuts off after "I think I".
* The system used for making voyage logs relevant to the player's progress through the story is the same system used to control [[objective]]s, among other things.
