'''Data files''' ({{j|メモデータ|Memo Dēta|Memo Data}}) 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.

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]] app on the [[KopPad]]. This app is unlocked after one data file is collected in the original ''Pikmin 3'', or upon finding the KopPad in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''. The app 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 a few still have it.
