The '''SPEROs''' are intergalactic probes built and launched by the [[Koppai]]tes. Their function is to search out planets that harbor edible matter; in the case of the Koppaites, this means fruit. | The '''SPEROs''' (pronounced as 'spare-oh', or sparrow) are intergalactic probes built and launched by the [[Koppai]]tes. Their function is to search out planets that harbor edible matter; in the case of the Koppaites, this means fruit. Many SPEROs were built, yet only one of the last few dispatched actually managed to find a planet with suitable food. This planet is named [[PNF-404]] (which happens to be the home planet of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]) and is a planet with bountiful food to sustain Koppai's population. | ||

SPEROs are used as a storage device for the fruit collected in ''Pikmin 3'''s [[Mission Mode]], comparable to the [[Hocotate Ship|Ship's]] Research Pod in underground areas in ''Pikmin 2. '' It can collect corpses and treasures alike, and can even bring [[Louie]] back to consciousness when he is carried to one. It has no other functions, however. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*SPERO also means "I hope" in Italian. Given the probe's mission, it seems fitting. | |||
*As SPERO is written in all caps, it probably is an acronym, but what SPERO stands for is never mentioned in the game. | |||
