(→List of music: The Garden theme is a remix of the Main theme, so adapted the text to show that. I think that the Shop theme is a remix of that too (which means that also contains the Pikmin motif) but I'm not completely sure.) |

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. | ||

This theme plays when an [[expedition]] is started and when viewing Pikmin on an expedition. This exciting piece captures the adventurous nature of the Pikmin on the expedition with a catchy steel-stringed guitar and bass riff that plays a simple pattern around the F chord throughout the song. On top of this are various short melodies played on a banjo or another guitar, featuring plenty of chromatic approaches and slides. The overall style is similar to bluegrass. | |||
