'''Lock-on''' (or "lock on", {{j|ロックオン|Rokkuon}}, lit.: "Lock On") is a combat and exploration mechanic in {{p3}}. This feature makes the action focus on a certain [[enemy]], [[obstacle]] or other object. This allows players to maneuver around it and not lose its sight, making attacking easier. In the Wii U release of ''Pikmin 3'', locking-on also allows the player to obtain the target's name and to order the Pikmin army to [[charge]]. | '''Lock-on''' (or "lock on", {{j|ロックオン|Rokkuon}}, lit.: "Lock On") is a combat and exploration mechanic in {{p3}} and {{p4}}.

Lock-on is achieved by getting the [[cursor]] near enough to an object that can be locked on to, and pressing the corresponding button when the game indicates that locking on is possible. Unlike other Nintendo games that have lock-on functionality (e.g. ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''), the player does not need to hold the button in order to keep it. Moving far enough away from the target will also cancel the lock-on automatically. | Lock-on is achieved by getting the [[cursor]] near enough to an object that can be locked on to, and pressing the corresponding button when the game indicates that locking on is possible.
