SPEROs [1] (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.
Mission Mode
SPEROs are used as a storage device for the fruit collected in Pikmin 3's Mission Mode, comparable to the Ship's Research Pod in underground areas in Pikmin 2.
Trivia
- The name SPERO may be an easter egg, as it is pronounced as "Sparrow" which is a common bird found in the real world.
- As SPERO is written in all caps, it probably is an acronym, but what SPERO stands for is never mentioned in the Game.
