Heard when the first [[Red Pikmin]] is plucked. In ''Pikmin 4'', each new type of Pikmin that is discovered will introduce itself with its own variation of the ''Pikmin 2'' motif. Each of these variants is identical in structure, with various acoustic instruments like clarinet, violins, and a shaker making up the accompaniment (a glockenspiel also helps invoke the Pikmin as a whole). The motif, however, will be played on an instrument that is characteristic of the Pikmin it is associated with. Red Pikmin, for example, use a synthesizer for their theme.

Heard right after any of the Pikmin discovery themes, except for the Glow Pikmin. A simple, quirky waltz on pizzicato violins loops during the Rescue Corps members' discussion on the newly discovered Pikmin type, with some more brief references to the ''Pikmin 2'' motif played on an alto recorder.

Heard when the first [[Glow Pikmin]] is discovered during a [[night expedition]]. This variant of the Pikmin discovery theme takes an uneasy turn due to the unique circumstances it takes place in, though a glockenspiel is kept in this version since the Glow Pikmin are still a very helpful type of Pikmin. A theremin is also present, playing upon their ghost-like appearance.
Heard when the first [[Glow Pikmin]] is discovered during a [[night expedition]]. This variant of the Pikmin discovery theme takes an uneasy turn due to the unique circumstances it takes place in, and is scored on a theremin to play upon this Glow Pikmin's ghostly appearance. Despite this, a glockenspiel reassures the player that this species of Pikmin is still a friendly one. Similar to the other discovery themes, a loop immediately follows, but with the glockenspiel taking the place of the recorder this time.
