In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', when confronted with the [[Beady Long Legs]] or the [[Emperor Bulblax]], the game will change to play their corresponding unique theme, while all other [[Enemy#Boss|bosses]] do not make the song change. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', however, almost all bosses use the common boss theme.

Music in caves is often minimalistic and appears to be chosen according to the difficulty and kind of [[hazard]]s and [[Enemy|beasts]] that await the Pikmin and [[leader]]s. In [[rest sublevel]]s, an unique soft melody plays. When [[The Key]] has been delivered in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|''Pikmin 2'''s Challenge Mode]], a rather weird theme plays for the rest of the sublevel. All levels in [[2-Player Battle]] use the same theme.

The composer of the music for ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' is mainly Hajime Wakai, though other artists such as Kazumi Totaka have also contributed. ''Pikmin 3'''s soundtrack was composed and arranged by Asuka Hayazaki, Atsuko Asahi, and Hajime Wakai.
