''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' has a soundtrack that generally reflects the small scale of the Pikmin and grows in texture and variation as more [[Ship part|parts]] of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] are recovered. Enemies and sunset can bring about dynamic changes, but the music is often meant mainly to score the natural scenery of the [[areas]] with an array of natural instruments. Contrastingly, themes about [[Captain Olimar]] and his ship are generally synthesized, to suggest their alien nature. ''Pikmin'' has the most melodically-driven soundtrack of the series, but few of its melodies or gestures become motivic. | ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' has a soundtrack that generally reflects the small scale of the Pikmin and grows in texture and variation as more [[Ship part|parts]] of the [[S.S.

This game also introduces in-game cutscenes, which have eclectic pre-rendered scores; and new complements to the music, triggered by conditions such as carrying [[treasure]] or playing as a particular [[leader]]. The music is generally more ambient in this game, but introduced in the cutscenes are new [[Music in Pikmin 2#Leitmotifs|leitmotifs]] that become very popular in this game and the next. | ||

''[[Pikmin 3]]'''s soundtrack has a much more atmospheric and often experimental mood to it, though new melodic motifs and some from ''Pikmin 2'' give it contextual stability. The music's dynamism now occurs regardless if the trigger is on-screen, making the music more effective as a gameplay tool. Afternoon time and variations in weather also provide new parameters for changing the music. ''Pikmin 3'' has the most advanced sound technology of the three games, allowing new instruments to score the high-definition scenery; particularly, unique synthesizer sounds are very prominent in this soundtrack. Quite a few themes in this game are re-orchestrations of ''Pikmin 2'' themes, giving the game itself a more modernized mood while establishing its reference point in the series. | ''[[Pikmin 3]]'''s soundtrack has a much more atmospheric and often experimental mood to it, though new melodic motifs and some from ''Pikmin 2'' give it contextual stability.

In the Wii U game ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', a ''Pikmin''-themed attraction called ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'' features several re-orchestration of themes from the first two games, as well as new compositions inspired by those. While the structures of these derivative compositions are quite true to the originals, their instrumentation is much more frivolous, reflecting the friendly, lighthearted mood of ''Nintendo Land''. | In the Wii U game ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', a ''Pikmin''-themed attraction called ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'' features several re-orchestration of themes from the first two games, as well as new compositions inspired by those.
