A '''saved game''' (also known as a '''save game''' or simply '''save''') is a record on the progress a player has made on a game thus far, which allows them to stop playing and later return to the point whence they left off. In the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], there are two types of information saved: a trio of playthrough progress slots and the global progress data. In ''Pikmin 3'', there is only one playthrough slot in a Wii U user account, however, in {{p3d}}, 3 save file slots were added to Story Mode.

In the first two ''Pikmin'' games, whenever the game needs to be saved, a prompt appears asking the player if they wish to save the game; exceptions exist, detailed below. The player has the option to refuse the save operation – this is useful should the player have a bad [[day]] and not wish to keep it; the player can refuse the save and return to the [[saved game selection menu]] in order to re-load their progress and try again. Interestingly, the games also ask the player if they can save a new score at the end of a [[Challenge Mode]] level.
