This is a simple menu, with only three options. The first is titled "Continue" and resumes the gameplay. The second option, called "Go to Sunset", opens a sub-menu, asking "Go to Sunset?", and the options "Yes" and "No". By selecting "Yes", the day automatically ends and the [[Day#Sunset|sunset]] cutscenes begin. By picking "No", the player is taken back to the main pause menu. The sunset option is grayed out during [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]]. The third option is called "Continue from Last Save" ("Continue from previous save" in ''New Play Control! Pikmin''), and when picked, a sub-menu opens, asking if the player is sure. By picking "Yes", the player is taken to the [[#Saved game selection|saved game selection menu]]. Picking "No" returns to the main pause menu. This third option is called "Quit Challenge Mode" while in Challenge Mode, and by choosing "Yes" to the question, the game returns to the [[#Challenge Mode|Challenge Mode]] screen. | This is a simple menu, with only three options.

The pause menus in {{p3}} are relatively basic, each containing a few main options which must be confirmed by the player upon being selected. In [[Story Mode]], the "Retry Area" button will restart the current day in the same area, the "End Day" button will instantly end the day and play the sunset cutscene (the player will have to confirm a second time if there are Pikmin in the field that are not [[Day#Safe Pikmin|safe]]), and the "To Earlier Day" button ("Change Day" in the European [[Region|version]]) brings the player back to the [[Menu#Day selection|day selection]] | The pause menus in {{p3}} are relatively basic, each containing a few main options which must be confirmed by the player upon being selected. | ||

[[File:P3D Menu Pause.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The pause menu in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', as it appears in [[Story Mode]].]] | |||
The pause menus are significantly changed in {{p3d}} from what they were in ''Pikmin 3'', containing many more options. The options visible depend on where the pause menu is being viewed from, as the {{button|switch|+}} button can be used to bring up the menu on nearly every screen in the game. A list of all the possible buttons is shown below. | |||
;Upper row | |||
*'''Play Co-op'''/'''Play Solo''': Switches gameplay between 1-player and 2-player by bringing up the [[Nintendo Switch]] interface for controller connection. The text will be different depending on whether the game is currently in 1-player or 2-player. Appears only during [[Story Mode]] gameplay. | |||
;Upper middle row | |||
*'''Retry''': Allows the player to restart the current [[day]]. A popup will appear upon selecting the option, containing 3 buttons: | |||
**'''Restart Day''': Makes the screen fade to black and the [[loading]] screen appear. | |||
**'''To Earlier Day''': Makes the screen fade to black and the [[Menu/Day selection|day selection menu]] appear. | |||
**'''Cancel''': Returns to the main pause menu. | |||
*'''End Day''': Allows the player to end the day, skipping to the [[Cutscene#Sunset|sunset cutscene]]. A pop-up will first appear to confirm the player's choice. | |||
*'''To Title Screen''': Allows the player to return to the [[Menu/Title screen|title screen]]. A pop-up will first appear to confirm the player's choice. | |||
;Lower middle row | |||
*'''Hints''': Shows a [[hint]]. The button will glow with sparkles if there is a new hint to look at; otherwise it will look like the other buttons. Appears only during Story Mode gameplay. | |||
*'''Basic Info''': Brings up another menu with lots of basic information about how the game works, such as what each [[Pikmin family#Types|Pikmin type]] does and how certain game mechanics function. Appears in all pause menus. | |||
*'''Control Guide''': Brings up the game's [[controls]]. The left stick can be used to switch between viewing controls for combined Joy-con, single Joy-con, and how controllers can be used in 2-player. Appears in all pause menus. | |||
*'''Other Settings''': Allows various options about the game to be controlled, similar to the [[Menu/Options|options menu]] in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''. Appears in all pause menus. | |||
**'''Radar''' | |||
***'''Mini Radar Display''': Controls whether a small [[radar]] appears in the [[HUD]]. | |||
***'''Mini Radar Orientation''': Controls whether the mini radar is oriented based on the direction the active [[leader]] is facing, or oriented with north at the top at all times. | |||
***'''Radar Orientation''': Controls whether the main radar is oriented based on the direction the active leader is facing, or oriented with north at the top at all times. | |||
**'''Gyro''' | |||
***'''Gyro Function''': Controls whether motion controls are active. If this is set to off, the other 3 options will be greyed out, as they do not apply when the gyro is turned off. | |||
***'''Cursor Control''': Controls whether the cursor is mainly controlled with the {{button|switch|lstick}} stick or with motion controls. | |||
***'''Gyro Control (U/D)''': Controls whether tilting the controller upwards moves the cursor up or down. | |||
***'''Gyro Control (L/R)''': Controls whether tilting the controller left moves the cursor left or right. | |||
**'''More''' | |||
***'''Adjust POV (L/R)''' | |||
***'''Hint Display''': Controls whether the [[hint]] button is visible in the HUD. | |||
;Lower row | |||
*'''Badges''': Opens up a menu to view the [[badge]]s the player has obtained. | |||
