'''PNF-404''' is the main setting of the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. In the first two games, the planet lacked a proper official name and was often referred to as the "'''Planet of the Pikmin'''" or the "'''Pikmin Planet'''". The inhabitants of [[Koppai]] named the planet PNF-404 when they discovered it in {{p3}}. In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. series]]'', it is known as "'''Distant Planet'''".

Internally, in {{p3}}, the files for the [[area selection menu|area selection]] monitor call the view "Pangaea Ultima" (<code>Pangaeaultima_a.gtx</code>, for instance). Similarly, in {{ssbb}}, the Distant Planet stage is referred to by the name "Earth" (<code>STGEARTH</code>, more precisely). These names were only used between developers, and likely used as placeholders, but it makes it clear that the developers see the planet as Earth.

On Nintendo Power issue #278, it is revealed the editors believe that the planet is Earth. The canon and affirmation of this statement is up for debate, however.
