| '''SPERO'''s <ref> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ-7p9gBLBU&t=1m10s </ref> (pronounced as ''''spare-'''oh', or sparrow) are probes sent by the Koppaites to search for a planet with edible sustenance on it in order to save their planet [[Koppai]], as seen in the opening sequence of ''[[Pikmin 3]]. ''SPERO 3 is the last one searching and is the one that finds [[PNF-404]]'', ''a planet with bountiful food to sustain Koppai's population. | | The '''SPEROs''' 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. |

|
| ==Mission Mode==
| | 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]], and also happens to be the home planet of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. |
|
| |
|
| | == 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. ''
| |
| | |
| ==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.
