In the first two games, PNF-404 is made out to look like present-day Earth. From space, PNF-404's geography appears to match that of Earth's, and the second game more clearly proves this, as when Olimar lands on or leaves the planet, his ship is shown to be heading towards or coming from Africa. The [[Hocotate ship]] even states at the time of the discovery of the [[Spherical Atlas]] that it exhibits PNF-404's geography as seen from space{{cite quote|{{Notes:Spherical Atlas/ship}}|The Hocotate ship|a dialog about the Spherical Atlas}}: both this and the [[Geographic Projection]] are two halves to a globe that clearly shows Earth and its countries. | In the first two games, PNF-404 is made out to look like present-day Earth.

Besides being wider, the only major difference is that a small peninsula attached to what would've been Asia in the theory was changed to the island with the [[Formidable Oak]]. Almost all of the game's levels are more composed of natural elements rather than man-made remnants, and the small amounts of evidence of humanity left are heavily deteriorated, more-so than in the earlier games, to justify that it has been millions of years after humanity. All of the fruits in the game are based on real fruit, however, many of them are found in places where they would not be able to grow, or with other fruit that they aren't grown near. | ||
This itself may be retconned in ''Pikmin 4'', with all areas (most notably the [[Hero's Hideaway]], which is inside of a house) showing some form of evidence of recent human activity, or at least human structures that do not appear to have aged or experienced noticeable wear.

However, it is still unclear as to why PNF-404's wildlife is different from that of the real world. Either way, as the areas that are explored are too close to one another to get a good view of the planet's geography, it is not clear if it looks the same as it does in ''Pikmin 3''. | ||
