{{hp}} has a '''log''' feature in which [[Captain Olimar]] writes a log about the [[Enemy|creatures]] and [[treasure]]s he encounters in his journey throughout the game. This feature has no name, being referred to only as "Logs" in the likes of the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection menu]], and is similar to the [[Piklopedia]] and [[Treasure Hoard]] in {{p2}}. It also allows the player to view 3D models of each entry, but unlike ''Pikmin 2'', the models appear in a void, and cannot be interacted with other than rotating the [[camera]] and triggering a couple of random animations. While viewing an entry, the top screen shows Olimar's log on the subject, while the bottom screen shows the 3D model, as well as a few buttons, detailed [[#Interface|here]].

There are four categories in the logs menu: "[[#Pikmin Log|Pikmin Log]]", "[[#Creature Log|Creature Log]]", "[[#Treasure Log|Treasure Log]]", and "[[#amiibo Log|amiibo Log]]". Although entries are not specifically numbered, each one in a category has its own reserved spot in the list, and if the player has not yet encountered the subject, then a question mark will appear in place of its icon.

== Interface ==
The logs can be accessed from the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection menu]], or from the area completion results screen, using the "Logs" button with a [[data file]] for an icon, present on the touch screen in either case.
When the logs are entered, the game automatically selects the Pikmin Log category. Whilst on a category, the top screen contains the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]'s pod saying a quick description of the category, while the bottom screen has a grid with the icons of each entry. Undiscovered entries will show a question mark instead. Only 15 entries fit per page, so if there are other pages, a button will appear on the left and/or right side allowing the player to go to the previous or next page, respectively. Dots on the bottom-left, below the grid, represent the current page and how many there are in total.
Upon touching an entry's icon, that entry is opened. The top screen then contains Olimar's thoughts about the entry, as well as the name on the top. The bottom screen shows a 3D model of the entry. To the right of the model is the silhouette of a Pikmin, so that the player can compare the model's size to that of a standard Pikmin. This silhouette will not appear when viewing a Pikmin, naturally. The bottom screen also has two buttons at the top, that show the first and second pages of the journal text, in case the current entry's text can't fit in one page. These buttons are disabled if it does fit in a single page. Buttons also appear on the left and right edges allowing the player to quickly see the previous or next entry, respectively, if there are any entries before or after. The player can also drag across the main model viewing area to rotate the camera around. Tapping the camera button on the top-left of this window will reset the camera to the default position, and tapping anywhere on the window itself will make the Pikmin or enemy perform an action, from a small pool of possible actions, that depend on the entry.
On any screen of the logs menu, there are four buttons on the very bottom of the touch screen. The "Return" button returns to the area selection menu or area completion results screen. The [[Red Pikmin]] icon opens the Pikmin Log category, the [[Mockiwi]] icon opens the enemy log category, the [[Loop of Beginnings]] icon opens the Treasure Log category, and the [[Colossus in Suspenders]]'s icon opens the amiibo Log category. When viewing an entry, the only way to return to the category view is through one of the category buttons, since the "Return" button always leaves the logs menu.
If there are any unread entries, the "Logs" button on either the area selection screen or area completion results screen will contain a red exclamation mark, and any categories with unread entries as well as the icons of the unread entries themselves will have the word "NEW" on top of them.
