The '''[[music]]''' of ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'' is a collection of re-orchestrations of music from the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] and new tracks composed specifically for the attraction. The music accompanies every aspect of the attraction, from gameplay to inter-gameplay cutscenes. The soundtrack also honors the ''Pikmin'' series' norm of dynamically changing depending on gameplay events, even though the events of this attraction are greatly simplified. Specifically, an electronic drum track is added when enemies are nearby, and sometimes the tempo and key of a theme depend on how much time is remaining in a timed challenge. The music's mood is generally not nearly as serious as the [[Canon|canonical]] stories' soundtracks (because the themes must exist in the dual diegesis of ''Pikmin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s canon and ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' frivolity), but the realism of the synthetic instruments used is unrivaled, even by the [[Music (Pikmin 3)|sound technology]] used for ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

The theme to stages 13-16, set in a snowy winter environment. This is quite a complex re-orchestration of the [[Music (Pikmin 2)#Valley of Repose|Valley of Repose's theme]], adding an improvisational xylophone part, a harmonic clarinet part, and a beat in electronic drums to keep rhythm similarly to the other themes. The whole theme has many streams of musical information, which actually directs the player's attention away from discerning the music and toward focal gameplay (a common technique in ''Pikmin'' music). One can hear the enemy mix in this rendition, played on marimba, even when no enemies are present, meaning it is merely for harmonic aesthetics.

Heard in any dark underground section of a stage. This is an original composition featuring tuned gongs (a popular instrument in the later ''[[Pikmin 3]]''), vibraphone, and flute over another electronic beat. The piece is quite avant-garde, having no easily defined key, although the dominant-tonic function at the end of the loop suggests the piece gravitates around C. The melody is fully chromatic and functions rather independently of the established harmony, reflecting the loose and mysterious form of caves that is only revealed in small circles of light.
