Each game in the series has a set of areas that can be visited, and these areas provide a range of environments to grow [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], fight [[Enemy|enemies]], and collect [[:Category:Collectibles|items]]. Each game features an [[area selection menu]] for selecting which area to go to from the areas unlocked. In the main games, this menu is shown at the beginning of each [[day]], and it is not possible to change the area one is exploring during a day. | ||

For | In each game, the [[leader]]s will only be able to access a single area initially, but over the course of the game, more areas will be unlocked. For example, to access to the [[Perplexing Pool]] in ''Pikmin 2'', a specific treasure, the [[Geographic Projection]], must be collected. Gaining access to new areas is a major form of progression through the games. | ||
Areas function differently in each game in the series. In the main games, areas are 3D environments with various rooms and corridors connected non-linearly, while in {{hp}}, areas are linear standalone levels, and are organized into groups called '''sectors''', of which there are 9. The items that are collected in areas vary by game as well. In {{p1}}, [[ship part]]s are scattered around the 5 areas. In {{p2}}, each of the 4 areas contains 3 or 4 entrances to [[cave]]s, which contain most of the [[treasure]]s needed to complete the game. In {{p3}}, 4 of the 5 areas contain [[fruit]], while the last area is a standalone challenge. In {{hp}}, each area contains 1-4 treasures. {{TOC right}} | Areas function differently in each game in the series.
