In {{p1}}, the screen fades in to some tree's leaves passing by the [[camera]]. As the camera goes down, it eventually stops near the ground, where the flowers of some [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be seen, spelling out the game's name. The words "PRESS START" ("PRESS {{button|wii|a}}" in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'') then appear below that, and, in the bottom, the copyright information.

After pressing the requested button (although {{button|gc|a}} also works in the GameCube version), a menu with three options appears: "Start", "Options", and "Challenge Mode", with the last one only being there if [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]] has been unlocked. The first option takes the player to the [[saved game selection menu]], the second one to the [[options menu]], and the third one to the [[Challenge Mode menu]].

In {{p2}}, the screen fades in to show the camera moving down a tree's trunk, with some [[Enemy|enemies]] roaming around it. When it gets to ground level, it stops, showing some white-flowered Pikmin spelling out "PIKMIN" with their leaves, and to the right, some pink-flowered Pikmin spelling out "2". At this point, "PRESS START" (or "PRESS {{button|wii|a}}", in ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2'') appears below the Pikmin, and in the bottom of the screen, the copyright information.

The menu is noticeably changed in {{p3d}}. The logo is expanded to contain the word "Deluxe", and {{button|switch|l}} and {{button|switch|r}} must first be pressed to advance to the main page of the menu.
The menu is noticeably changed in {{p3d}}. The logo is expanded to contain the word "Deluxe", and {{button|switch|l}} and {{button|switch|r}} must first be pressed to advance to the main page of the menu.


The main page of the menu contains 4 buttons: "Story", "Mission", "Side Stories", and "Bingo Battle", arranged in 2 rows with the Story button being on its own row. As all DLC is included within the base game, the Eshop icon over the Mission icon was removed. Below the buttons is a grey box containing a description of the current mode. It is possible to open the [[pause menu]] from this menu with the {{button|switch|+}} button.
The copyright date was changed from "© 2013 Nintendo" to "© 2013-2020 Nintendo". A new "recommended" icon appears over story mode when starting up the game from a new save. The main page of the menu, now more spread out, contains all 3 buttons from the Wii U version: "Story", "Mission", and "Bingo Battle", arranged in 2 rows with the Story button being on its own row. The "Side Stories" game mode has been added in between the "Mission" mode and "Bingo Battle". As all DLC is included within the base game, the hovering eShop icon over the Mission icon was removed. Below the buttons is a grey box containing a description of the current mode. It is also now possible to open the [[pause menu]] from this menu with the {{button|switch|+}} button, unlike the Wii U version.

The main menu for {{p4}} is very basic, only showing clips from previous promotional footage. There is a random chance of the title screen zooming out of an in-universe TV, revealing a group of Pikmin and [[Oatchi]] in a house-like environment where they are eventually attacked by a [[Bulborb]]. If the title screen zooms out this way, the screen on said TV never progresses beyond the initial clip of a [[White Spectralid]]s sitting on a flower.

There are three options that can be chosen:
*'''Story''': This take the player to the [[Saved game selection menu#Pikmin 4|Saved game selection menu]].
*'''Dandori Battle''': This enters the [[Dandori Battle]].
*'''Gallery''': Takes the player to the [[Gallery]], which is unlocked after saving [[Louie]] from any save file.
