The '''saved game selection menu''', also known as a '''file select''', allows the player to select which [[saved game]] to play on. There are three saved games, and each one can store info on a session, like the current game [[day]], the collected [[ship part]]s or [[treasure]]s, etc. Upon selecting a saved game, the player will continue from where they left off in the respective slot. This means that they are taken to the [[area selection menu]] in order to start a new day, unless they quit after entering a cave's sublevel are or emerging from one. When the player chooses an empty saved game, they start the [[story mode]] from beginning.

{{p1}} can have up to 3 saved games, and they are represented as 3 bubbles, numbered 1 to 3 from left to right. Each saved game is referred to as a "Ship's Log", and the title of the menu is "Choose a Data File". Each bubble has the day number of the respective saved game inside, just like the day counter on the in-game [[HUD]]. Highlighting a bubble displays additional information about the saved game on the bottom of the screen. The number of [[ship parts]] collected and the number of Pikmin in each type of [[Onion]] is displayed. The player can press {{button|gc|y|wii|1}} to copy the currently highlighted saved game onto another one, or {{button|gc|x|wii|2}} to erase it.

The saved game selection menu in {{npcp1}} adds in functionality similar to {{P3}}'s [[day selection menu]] to the existing menu design, allowing the player to press {{button|wii|-}} and {{button|wii|+}} to change the [[day]] they will play on. This allows them to retry from a specific day, provided the highlighted saved game is in day 2 or beyond. This change remains intact in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|port]].

{{hp}} can have up to 3 saved games, represented by the letters A, B, and C. The menu displays the 3 saved games as rounded boxes, with the letter on the left in a circle (colored red for A, yellow for B, and blue for C), and the highest-numbered [[area]] and total [[Sparklium]] count filling up the rest of the box (colored based on the color of the most recent sector on the [[sector selection menu]]). If every area has been completed with no Pikmin deaths, a gold Pikmin icon will appear to the right of the letter. Empty saved games have the text "New Game" instead. On the left side are 3 buttons, which switch between different functions of the menu. When "Play" is selected (which it is by default), tapping a saved game boxes will open the sector selection menu for that saved game. When "Copy" is selected, tapping a saved game will prompt the player to select another saved game spot to copy that saved game to, and selecting another spot will prompt the player to confirm their choice; doing so will copy the saved game. When "Delete" is selected, tapping a saved game will prompt the player to confirm that they are sure about deleting the saved game; selecting "Yes" will delete the saved game.

The information of the saved game is indicated on the right of the screen, which tells the player their Pikmin amount and the location from the last save. {{button|switch|y}} can be pressed to erase a save file, {{button|switch|x}} can be used to copy one, and {{button|switch|a}} can be pressed to select it, which will go to the location indicated on the right of the screen.
