+The '''SPEROs''' (pronounced as 'spare-oh', or sparrow) are intergalactic probes built and launched by the [[Koppai]]tes. Their function is to search out planets that harbor edible matter; in the case of the Koppaites, this means fruit. Many SPEROs were built, yet only one of the last few dispatched actually managed to find a planet with suitable food. This planet is named [[PNF-404]] (which happens to be the home planet of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]) and is a planet with bountiful food to sustain Koppai's population.

 == Mission Mode ==
-In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'''s [[Mission Mode]], a SPERO is used instead of the [[S.S. Drake]]. It picks up spoils brought to it just like every ship in the [[Pikmin series]], but does nothing else.
+SPEROs are used as a storage device for the fruit collected in ''Pikmin 3'''s [[Mission Mode]], comparable to the [[Hocotate Ship|Ship's]] Research Pod in underground areas in ''Pikmin 2. '' It can collect corpses and treasures alike, and can even bring [[Louie]] back to consciousness when he is carried to one. It has no other functions, however.

+==Trivia==
+*SPERO also means "I hope" in Italian. Given the probe's mission, it seems fitting.
+*As SPERO is written in all caps, it probably is an acronym, but what SPERO stands for is never mentioned in the game.
