'''Data files''' are collectibles scattered around the surface of [[PNF-404]] in {{p3}}. They appear as glowing yellow {{w|Secure Digital|SD cards}} that float in place. Data files may contain text and/or images, and there are 120 of them in all. There are 88 that must be physically picked up and 11 more received by doing certain optional tasks (such as collecting a spacesuit [[upgrade]]). The remaining 21 are automatically obtained during progress through the main story.

Once one has been collected, it disappears from its spot, and is added to the [[Exploration Notes]] menu on the [[KopPad]]. This app is unlocked upon finding the KopPad, and keeps a collection of all obtained data files. When the active [[leader]] touches a data file, a brief [[cutscene]] takes place, where the gameplay pauses, the leader is seen celebrating, and the data file is opened automatically. If, however, an inactive leader touches a data file, the object will still be collected, but the gameplay will not pause, nor will the file be opened – instead, the leader in question will announce they have found a data file. In the Hard and Ultra-Spicy [[Difficulty|difficulties]] in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the cutscene does not take place for most data files, though some still have it.

Data files seem to be the medium in which [[Captain Olimar]] stores his notes in {{hp}}. This is because the button that brings the player to [[Hey! Pikmin logs|the logs]] is a data file.
