'''Secret Files''', known as '''Secret Memos''' in Europe, are a type of [[data file]]s found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Unlike most data files, these do not give any direct tips or information. Instead, they simply have a picture of some Pikmin with a random number from 0 to 9.

If a player collects all ten of these memos, the numbers they form, in order, will create a secret code. Once they are all collected, the player can then go to a Wii U exclusive website, http://www.nintendo.co.jp/pikpiksecret using the Wii U's Internet Browser, and enter their code to watch one of five secret video exploration logs. Each code is pre-written, and maps to a specific video. If the player wishes to see a different video, they must restart their [[saved game|save file]] from [[day]] 1 and obtain a different combination.

Although there are five videos so far, a sixth one exists, but is not accessible through normal means.


So far, five videos can be seen, although a sixth one exists, but is not accessible through normal means. The codes are also made up of four digits that repeat twice, and each language has its own codes, which can be seen by changing languages in the System Parameters. Finally, each language's code list is unique (i.e. there's no pattern to convert codes from one language to another).
