Tablet

Collin handing the player a Rescue Corps Tablet.

The tablet is a multi-functional device used by the Rescue Corps in Pikmin 4. It contains several apps that help the rookie Rescue Officer navigate PNF-404. Pressing or  / (twice in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale) at any time will open the tablet menu, with the Radar Map opened by default; pressing  / will let the player select another application. There are 8 apps in total: Radar Map, Status Report, Missions, ID Badges, Gear and Skills, Rescue Journal, Voyage Log, and History and Stats. Apps are unlocked over time, and the ID Badges and Rescue Journal apps do not appear in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale. The tablet is unlocked when Collin gives one to the player during the tutorial in the Rescue Command Post. It is similar to the KopPad in Pikmin 3.

The Radar Map is the default app on the tablet, and it allows the player to view a stylized map of the current area or cave sublevel from above. It is unlocked from the start.

Status Report

The Status Report app screen.

The Status Report app keeps track of Pikmin totals and other relevant information in the current area. It shows the total count of all Pikmin types currently available, how many were grown or lost that day, the completion percentage of the current area, and the changes in the number of rescues and amount of Sparklium and raw material collected that day. It is unlocked when the player reaches day 2.

Missions

Main article: Mission (Pikmin 4).

The Missions app tracks the player's current and completed objectives. There are two tabs: Main Missions and Side Missions. The player can select a specific uncleared mission to pin or unpin that mission, which will make it appear in the lower left corner of the screen during regular gameplay. It is unlocked from the start.

ID Badges

The ID Badges app catalogs the ID badges of all the characters in the game. It is divided into sections: Rescue Corps, Olimar, Leaflings, and Civilian Castaways. Images of each character are displayed in a grid 5 columns wide, and by moving the selector around this grid, the selected character will have their ID badge displayed on the right side of the screen. Each ID badge is unlocked when that character is rescued. Characters that are confirmed to be stranded are preemptively listed with vacant slots. These vacant slots have a silhouette of the character for the missing Rescue Corps members and Captain Olimar, and a generic question mark icon for other characters. This app is unlocked from the start.

The Gear and Skills app allows the player to manage the gear they have bought and Oatchi's skills they have trained. It has three tabs: Rescue Gear, Pup Gear, and Pup Skills. A list of gear or skills is on the left side of the screen, and a description and video of the selected gear or skill is on the right. Gear can be unequipped and re-equipped through this menu, but skills cannot. This app is unlocked the day after rescuing Russ.

The Rescue Journal app allows the player to read a variety of helpful texts. There are three tabs: Tips and Tricks, Captain's Diary, and Shepherd Family History. It is unlocked when the player rescues Shepherd.
