The '''[[music]]''' of ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'' is a collection of re-orchestrations of music from the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] and new tracks composed specifically for the attraction. The music accompanies every aspect of the attraction, from gameplay to inter-gameplay cutscenes. The soundtrack also honors the ''Pikmin'' series' norm of dynamically changing depending on gameplay events, even though the events of this attraction are greatly simplified. Specifically, an electronic drum track is added when enemies are nearby, and sometimes the tempo and key of a theme depend on how much time is remaining in a timed challenge. The music's mood is generally not nearly as serious as the [[Canon|canonical]] stories' soundtracks (because the themes must exist in the dual diegesis of ''Pikmin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s canon and ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' frivolity), but the realism of the synthetic instruments used is unrivaled, even by the [[Music in Pikmin 3|sound technology]] used for ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

The theme to the first four stages of ''Pikmin Adventure'', set in a garden-like spring environment. This is an original composition based on the ''Pikmin 2'' motif, first in fipple flute and then in in bagpipes. The progression is very simple, suggesting an easy first few stages, but also a faster tempo and generally more intense than any original ''Pikmin'' series area music, suggesting the faster and more intense pace of ''Pikmin Adventure''.

Heard when the player(s) loses all [[health]] and the game ends. This last rendition of the "''Pikmin 2'' motif" ends on a high staccato F major, bringing whatever mood the previous music portrayed to a sudden and comical halt. Its brevity and sharpness reinstate the lightheartedness of the attraction, while it still seems to create a mocking mood.
