This theme plays when there isn't another theme to play | This theme plays when there isn't another theme to play, which includes the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Main menu|main menu]] and the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map screen]]. The theme is very sparse, consisting of 4 chords that play for 15 seconds each. Each chord is made up of a mix of high notes on sustained piano, xylophone, and pad synthesizer, playing at random-sounding times, before the chord is left to fade until the next one. Some note sequences are similar to main [[Music in Pikmin 2#Leitmotifs|''Pikmin'' motif]]. The calm and open style of this theme sets an effective backdrop to the peaceful nature of the map and the game as a whole. | ||

Its incredibly joyful nature matches the joy of the player's [[Mii]] while planting flowers, and it does this through a high-pitched ensemble of piano, mallet percussion, woodwinds, and harp, playing simple melodies over mostly major chords, in an overall rather varied piece of music. | ||

A guitar and a raindrop synthesizer play a short and sustained melody over each chord, with the large space between these melodies filled by the slow swells of a pad synthesizer. The resulting theme is calm and reflective. | ||

It is a remixed version of the [[Music in Hey! Pikmin#Results|area results theme]] from {{hp}}. On top of a steady beat and a base layer of rising and falling arpeggios, various layers are added and removed on top, including a groovy bassline and a high-pitched synth melody. | ||
