The '''area selection menu''', also called the '''world map''', is a [[menu]] that allows the player to select an [[area]] to explore. In the main series of {{pg}}, it appears before the start of each [[day]], and provides information on each area so the player can make the best choice on which one to select. It only shows areas that have been unlocked, and thus changes appearance over the course of the game. As a major part of [[Story Mode]], the area selection menu is much more detailed than most other menus, and it provides access to various features, such as the [[Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard menus|Piklopedia]], to give the player a rest in between days.

In {{p1}}, the area selection menu contains an aerial view of a section of the [[PNF-404|Pikmin planet]], with bubbles on top in set locations representing [[area]]s. By moving {{button|gc|stick|wii|stick|switch|lstick}}, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] and the [[Onion]]s will fly between the bubbles. Pressing {{button|gc|a|wii|a|switch|a}} while over one of the bubbles, and then confirming that in a message box, will select the area, bringing up the [[loading]] screen.

Various information is shown about the currently-selected area and the current state of the game. The top-left of the screen says the name of the area. A preview image appears on the right side of the screen, as well as some stars that represent the area's [[ship part]]s. A gray star indicates an uncollected part, and a yellow one indicates a part that has been collected. The bottom of the screen shows the total number of salvaged ship parts, and the total number of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of each type in the Onions. In the top-right corner, a day counter can be seen, much like the one on the in-game [[HUD]]. On the bottom-right, a box tells the player that they can press {{button|gc|y|wii|+|switch|+}} to open [[Olimar's voyage log menu|Olimar's voyage log]]. The player may also press {{button|gc|start|wii|-|switch|-}} to open a message box, asking them if they want to remain or return to the [[title screen]].

In {{p2}}, the area selection menu contains an aerial view of a section of the [[PNF-404|Pikmin planet]], with yellow markers on top in set locations representing [[area]]s.

The top of the screen contains general information about the [[saved game]]. In the center, there is a display of the total number of [[Poko]]s the player has collected in that [[saved game]]. (Before repaying the debt, this appears as a proportion out of 10000.) On the sides, there are indicators that pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl|switch|padl}} opens the [[Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard menu#Piklopedia|Piklopedia]] and pressing {{button|gc|r|wii|padr|switch|padr}} opens the [[Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard menu#Treasure Hoard|Treasure Hoard]].

The bottom of the screen contains information about the area that is currently selected. This includes the area's name, and the number of treasures collected in the above-ground part of the area and in each of the area's [[cave]]s. (Before repaying the debt, just the number of collected treasures is displayed, but after repaying the debt, the number of collected treasures and the total number of treasures are displayed.) If all treasures in a cave or above-ground area have been collected, the number will sparkle. There is also a [[day]] counter. The player can press {{button|gc|start|wii|+|switch|+}} to open a prompt, asking them if they wish to remain in this menu or go to the [[title screen]].

The sector selection menu shows a globe of the [[Hey! Pikmin planet|''Hey! Pikmin'' planet]] on the bottom screen, which can be orbited around by dragging the {{button|3ds|stylus}} stylus on the touch screen. Each sector is represented by a large landmass on the planet with a colored outline around it. The sector number is indicated above the landmass in a rounded box in the same color as the outline. Only sectors that are mostly visible from the current viewing angle have their numbers visible. Upon tapping a sector's continent or box, the top screen, which shows a closer view of the planet from a low angle, will quickly pan to show the sector selected, along with its name. Upon tapping the sector again, the area selection menu for that sector will be opened. The top screen also shows the text "Select Sector", the total amount of [[Sparklium]] collected, and the number of [[treasure]]s collected in that sector. The bottom screen has a button to return to the [[title screen]].

The bottom screen has a button to return to the [[title screen]].


The area selection menu is like a traditional level map. It shows the areas within the sector as large colored bubbles on top of a landscape background on the bottom screen. Each bubble shows which treasures have been collected in the area as small icons which can be grey dots (for an uncollected treasure) or yellow stars (for a collected treasure), and also shows the area's number. [[Secret Spot]]s are shown on the map as small purple bubbles, and [[Sparklium Springs]] are shown as small blue bubbles. Lines of white dots connect the areas, and smaller yellow dots connect the areas to Secret Spots or Sparklium Springs. Tapping a bubble will select it, placing a cursor over it, and tapping it again will confirm it, entering the area. The top screen shows an animated background representing the currently selected area, as well as the currently-selected area's name, and icons of the treasures collected there. The bottom screen has buttons to return to the sector selection menu, view the [[Hey! Pikmin logs|logs]], open the [[options menu]], scan an [[amiibo]], and enter the [[Pikmin Park]]. The top screen also shows the text "Select Area", the sector number, and the total amount of Sparklium collected.

Each sector has a color on the sector selection menu, and a similar color is used for the area bubbles on the area selection menu. The [[Brilliant Garden]] is green, the [[Verdant Waterfront]] is blue, the [[Sparkling Labyrinth]] is purple, the [[Ravaged Rustworks]] is yellow, the [[Leafswirl Lagoon]] is orange, the [[Sweltering Parchlands]] is red, the [[Snowfall Field]] is light blue, the [[Lushlife Murk]] is pink, and [[The Final Stretch]] is dark red.

*In ''Pikmin''{{'s}} area selection menu, the name of the currently chosen area displays in front of the S.S. Dolphin and Onions, as seen when the player selects [[The Distant Spring]].
