Hidden mural: Difference between revisions

Throughout {{p3}} there are '''hidden murals''' – these are small abstract drawings of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] doing various tasks. Their existence has been acknowledge by Olimar.{{cite quote|While exploring this planet, I often see what appear to be murals. Did the Pikmin draw these? Because they capture each Pikmin's essence perfectly-much more artistically that I would be capable of. I must remember to take photographic documentation.|Captain Olimar|Olimar's Log Vol. 2, File 3}} They are normally found in dark or not-so-obvious locations, and most of the time are too small to see clearly, so to view them with detail, the [[KopPad]]'s camera feature is necessary. The origin of these images is currently unknown, and it is not clear if these are rock paintings or engravings, known as {{w|petroglyph}}s. Each [[area]] in story mode has three drawings, and each area contains drawings of only one Pikmin type, with each of the markings representing that Pikmin in a different [[maturity]].

In ''Pikmin 3'', these drawings are simply Easter eggs with no in-game reward for finding them, but in {{p3d}}, taking photos of the murals with the KopPad's camera earns the player [[badges]]. Taking a picture of 5 yields the "Archaeology Hobbyist" badge, and taking a picture of all 15 results in the "Legendary Archaeologist" badge.
