'''Menus''' in video games allow the player to navigate outside the game world, and the {{pg}} have several of these menus. Some menus allow access to gameplay or other menus, while others allow the viewing of bonus content, while others change the settings of the game. Menus in the ''Pikmin'' games tend to have a consistent graphical style featuring heavy use of bubbles.
