The logs can be accessed from the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection menu]], or from the area completion results screen, using the "Logs" button on the touch screen in either case. Its icon is a [[data file]], and if there are new entries in any of the categories, the button will also contain an exclamation mark.
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.

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.
