The {{ps}} takes place over several '''planets'''. Some of these planets have gameplay take place on them, while others have important roles in the [[Canon|story]]. Space travel between planets is a major part of the story of the series. | |||

These planets are where gameplay takes place. | |||

PNF-404 is the main planet of the ''Pikmin'' series. It is the setting of {{p}}, {{p2}}, and {{p3}}, and also appears in the {{ssbs}}. It is heavily implied that this planet is actually Earth in the distant future. | |||

{{hp}} takes place on a separate planet to the main series, very similar to PNF-404, but with a different continental layout and different [[Enemy|creatures]]. Its official name is unknown. | |||

There are a few planets in {{p2}} and {{p3}} that aren't mentioned and are only seen in each game's opening scene, which both show shots of space. They are purely aesthetic, and don't appear or are mentioned anywhere else in the games or series. In ''Pikmin 3'', lots of these planets are nearly identical, but there are still distinguishable "types". | There are a few planets in {{p2}} and {{p3}} that aren't mentioned and are only seen in each game's opening scene, which both show shots of space.

This planet is large, yellow, and has three moons. Hocotate Freight is shown to have delivered supplies to it. The moons are colored green, orange, and blue. | This planet is large, yellow, and has three moons. Hocotate Freight is shown to have delivered supplies to it.

Most of these planets are perfectly rounded, pearly spheres, resembling the gas giants {{w|Uranus}} and Neptune. Others, seen in the [[Drake]]'s takeoff scene seem to have a more rocky texture.

====Asteroid planets==== | ====Asteroid planets==== | ||
These planets are rigid and rocky, and might as well be asteroids. This may suggest that they are quite small, as small planets in real life often develop strange shapes because of a lack of gravity. | These planets are rigid and rocky, and might as well be asteroids.
