'''PNF-404''' is the planet that [[Olimar]] lands on in both ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and where [[Alph]], [[Brittany]] and [[Charlie]] land on in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is the natural habitat of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], as well as many other lifeforms, many of them predators of the Pikmin. In the first two games, the planet lacked a proper official name and was often referred to as the "'''Planet of the Pikmin'''" or the "'''Pikmin Planet'''". The inhabitants of [[Koppai]] named the planet PNF-404 when they discovered it in ''Pikmin 3''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]'', it is known as "'''Distant Planet'''".

In the first ''Pikmin'' game, Olimar crash lands on this uncharted planet during his vacation after his ship is struck by an asteroid. Due to the planet's atmosphere being filled with oxygen, which is toxic to Olimar and his people, he must escape the planet before his life support system fails.

''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' also contains a stage from an area in PNF-404. This one is titled exactly the same as the [[Garden of Hope]], and is much more faithful to the actual game area than the arena in the previous games.
