A Check in discussion in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Brittany is talking about Rock Pikmin.
A conversation between the Koppaites.

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3.
Particularly: Add the controls for accessing this feature with all control schemes.

Check in (Talk in the European version of Pikmin 3, and all versions of Pikmin 3 Deluxe) is the name given to a feature in Pikmin 3 where the leaders currently on the ship will discuss recent events or just have miscellaneous conversations. This takes place before the start of each day, while still inside the S.S. Drake, and is triggered by the player by pressing WiiU Y.png / Wiimote Minus.png / WiiU Y.png while on the area selection menu.

It is possible to talk more than once in the same morning, and a different conversation might take place. Recent plot events have higher priority as conversation topics, then gameplay events, and finally idle chatter.

If Cassie was in Pikmin 3 deluxe part 2 (MY ALTERNATE UNIVERSE) Charlie:"WHAT!?"

  • And so they follow the life form.....but then Cassie is not in the life form anymore so they ask the Pikmin to carry Cassie and Brittany will guide the Pikmin*

Script mistakes

There are a couple of mistakes in some of the US version's conversations. In the script for the conversations, there is code to switch a character's icon, but some conversations exist where the icon's code is incorrect. In these cases, the game keeps the same character as before, but uses that character's icon for the specified ID.

  • If the player uses the check in functionality on the day they unlock the Distant Tundra, Alph and Brittany will discuss the data file they got, and Brittany will say If you think it means that they don't eat meat, then...yes., but Alph's icon will be displayed instead. The code was meant to switch to Brittany's icon ID 00, which does not exist. For Alph, icon 00 is his neutral expression. This was fixed in Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and is also not a problem in the European version, which uses the US version's text.
  • For the check in conversation where the crew asks themselves why the Pikmin don't eat the fruit they carry, Alph says But it's all so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste., but with Brittany's sad icon. The code was for Alph's 10 expression, and since it doesn't exit, Brittany's 10 expression is used instead (her sad face). This was not fixed in Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and also happens in the European version, which uses the same text as the US version.

If Cassie was in Pikmin 3 deluxe (THIS IS MY ALTERNATE UNIVERSE) Brittany:"Captain, we need.....66 fruits in all" Charlie:"That shouldn't be too hard, Brittany" Cassie:"Hi, brother" Alph:Captain, who is that?Charlie:"Oh, this is my sister!"

  • Brittany notices the Formidable Oak area has a lot of fruit*

Brittany:"Captain, the Formidable Oak area has a lot of fruit!"

  • And so the S.S Drake goes to the Formidable Oak area*

Cassie:"Oooooh, this is pretty!"

  • Alph and Brittany witnesses

Charlie's sister, Cassie get taken by the plasm wraith* Charlie:"What?" Brittany:"Captain, Cassie just got taken by the plasm wraith"
