Hidden mural

Since this subject has no official name, the name "Hidden mural" is conjectural.

Pikmin drawings are found throughout Pikmin 3 and are small drawings of Pikmin doing various tasks. They are normally found in dark or not-so-obvious locations, and most of the time are very small to see, 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 petroglyphs – rock engravings.

Each area in story mode has drawings, and each area only contains drawings of a single Pikmin type. At the moment, three drawings are known to exist in every area, excluding the Twilight River, which only has two known drawings.
