Radar: Difference between revisions

{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y|hp=y}}

The '''radar''' ({{j|レーダー|Rēdā}}, lit.: "Radar") is a mechanic present in all {{pg}}. It allows the player to view an [[area]]'s layout, as well as the location of various important objects, such as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the [[Onion]](s), and [[:Category:Collectibles|collectible objects]]. In {{p1}}, the radar is unlocked by collecting the [[Whimsical Radar]]. In {{p2}}, it is available from the start. In {{p3}}, it is unlocked when the [[KopPad]] is found.

In {{hp}}, the radar is not present at the beginning of the game but is rewarded to the player once 2,000 [[Sparklium]] has been collected. The radar can be toggled by pressing {{button|3ds|l}}/{{button|3ds|r}}. [[Boss]] areas and [[Over Wintry Mountains]] do not allow the use of the radar.

Initially, the radar only shows the explored parts of the current [[area]], with parts further away from Olimar covered by a darker color. Once that area is completed (regardless of whether the player got all [[treasure]]s), its entire map is revealed for subsequent times the player enters the area.

Here are the icons used in the radar viewer:

!Apearance

In the first two games, the radar shows a monochromatic representation of the [[area]]'s terrain, only really highlighting the walls and water. Some icons point out the location of [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, [[Onion]]s, and a few other things.

In ''Pikmin 3'', players have the ability to tell leaders (and their army of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]) to go to a specific spot on the map automatically, so that they may do something else with a different leader. In order to use the Go Here! functionality, the player must first collect the [[data file]] located on the other side of the [[crystal wall]] at the [[Garden of Hope]]'s landing site in ''Pikmin 3'', or free Brittany in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''.

For ''Pikmin 3'', each "room" has its own texture, and in the following images, the textures were aligned by hand, and when justified, cropped (with a fade-in effect).
