'''Controls''' is a category in the [[Exploration Notes]] menu. These [[Data File]]s explain the basic controls of ''Pikmin 3'', as well as what to do in some special events. Most of them feature images of characters who appear to be [[Olimar]], [[Louie]], [[The President]], [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]]. Seven of the 30 [[Data File]]s are found around the terrain of certain [[areas]], while the other 23 are acquired by completing specific tasks. If there is no location stated for a Data File, it should already be obtained automatically, after meeting certain requirements, such as obtaining a certain item.
