The ''' | The '''main menu''', also called the '''title screen''', is the hub for most other [[menu]]s in a ''Pikmin game''. From it, the player can continue to the main [[Story Mode|story mode]], continue to an alternative game mode, or open various other menus. This menu is presented upon booting up the game, but after some other minor screens. If the player does not press anything on the menu, they will be taken to the [[Cutscene#Attraction mode|attraction mode cutscenes]] in the first two games or the opening cutscene in ''Pikmin 3''. | ||

In {{p3}}, the screen fades in to show a detailed portion of [[PNF-404]], on a forest-like location. A tree trunk can be seen in the distance, and a river takes most of the attention of the scene. Occasionally, Pikmin of varying types are seen moving about in the distance. The game's logo gradually fades in, and the message "PRESS {{button|wiiu|a|wii|a}}" appears. After any of those buttons are pressed or the touchscreen is tapped, the three menu bubbles appear.

Interestingly, the terrain shown on | Interestingly, the terrain shown on this menu bears a striking resemblance to the [[Awakening Wood]]'s western corridor. The trunk stump and the surrounding area closer to the screen matches with the small open space where the [[Geographic Projection]] can be found. The river path further beyond matches all the way with the path south of the treasure in the Awakening Wood. Finally, at the end of the path, there is a curved tree. This is almost exactly the same tree with the [[Snagret Hole]]. This can be best seen using a model editor for both pieces of terrain, since the water and perspective don't allow one to see the connection very clearly. | ||
