The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] and its world is built with distinct pieces of imagery, audio, and typefaces. A large portion of the assets used in the games are made from scratch and are proprietary to [[Nintendo]], though occasionally, some of these assets may be taken or contain elements from external sources. This can include commercially-available software libraries, or real-life objects and hardware.

==Audio samples==
==Audio==
Similar to graphics, creating game audio often involves the sampling of various sound libraries. The games within the ''Pikmin'' series are a good example, where a large amount of audio can be sourced back to a number of different commercially-released products. These products are used to create the individual instrument samples and sound effects in the games, as well as pieces of streamed music. All of the music in {{P1}}, {{P2}}, and [[Music in Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']] use audio from digital instruments and synthesizers; instances of musicians performing live on real acoustic instruments are highly uncommon in the games. The [[Music in Pikmin 3#Side Stories|new music]] composed by Babi for {{p3d}} is one of the very few occasions where this was done.{{cite web|https://www.grandfunk.net/works/2228/|Production credits|GRANDFUNK's website}}

===''Pikmin''{{'s}} music===
Since there is a history of many different composers and sound effect programmers contributing to the games, there is a large variety of synthesizers and sample libraries that have been used. Listed below are all of these currently known products.
[[Music in Pikmin|''Pikmin'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Hajime Wakai. He uses the [[#Kurzweil K2500|Kurzweil K2500R]] and [[#Roland SC-88|Roland SC-88]] synthesizers, and the SampleCell II software. The two aforementioned synthesizers make up the vast majority of sounds heard in the soundtrack, though a few sample CD-ROMs are also seldom used; these CD-ROMs are formatted for SampleCell II, which serves the function of a sampler.

===''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Hajime Wakai and Kazumi Totaka, and features a wider range of products used. The Kurzweil K2500R and Roland SC-88 are once again prominently used by Hajime Wakai. SampleCell II no longer sees any use by Hajime Wakai for this title; instead, sounds from InVision Lightware 1, East-West Drums + Percussion, and the AKAI CD3000 Sound Library can be heard, all of which came packaged with the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G52ErOIwXAY AKAI CD3000] sampler. Kazumi Totaka uses the [[#Yamaha S90|Yamaha S90]] and a slew of different sample libraries for his music.

===''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Asuka Hayazaki, Atsuko Asahi, and Hajime Wakai. It was the first main title to have a soundtrack consisting wholly of streamed music; singular instrument samples do not exist individually within the game itself, although sampling can still occur within the music creation process. The Kurzweil K2500 is still prominent in this soundtrack, but it is being used by Asuka Hayazaki, alongside her {{w|Korg Triton|KORG Triton Studio}}.

===''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 4|''Pikmin 4'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Asuka Hayazaki, Kenta Nagata, and Soshi Abe. Due to the recency of this soundtrack, it is the most subject to complex sampling techniques and higher sound design standards. The majority of the instruments used are also now software instruments. Although a few old sounds from the Kurzweil K2500 and Roland SC-88 are still occasionally used, every instance of a preset is merely a singular sample; no evidence suggests these hardware synths were physically present during production.

===''Hey! Pikmin''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Hey! Pikmin|''Hey! Pikmin'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Masato Kouda and Kento Hasegawa. Since these two composers are unique to this title, the utilized libraries are also notably unique to this soundtrack. Similarly to ''Pikmin 3'', its soundtrack is streamed, though the absence of older hardware synthesizers marks a turning point in the desired fidelity of instruments; this game's musical compositions mainly consist of software instruments, and this preference over older, less realistic hardware instruments can be further examined in the music of ''Pikmin 4''.

Many of Yamaha's synthesizers produced around 1998 to 2003 featured support for the "Modular Synthesis Plug-in System". This allowed for the synthesizers's preset count to be expanded by plugging in an expansion board. In total, [https://soundprogramming.net/synthesizers/yamaha/yamaha-plg-expansion-boards/ 12] of these boards were produced. A few of them contain just basic sets of additional samples, while others are fully-fledged synthesizers.

Because of their availability, usage of these fonts in other media may be mistaken as a [[Pikmin in other media#Pikmin_font|reference]] to the ''Pikmin series.

*The in-game instruments that play the sequenced music of ''Pikmin 1'' and ''Pikmin 2'' use {{w|Envelope (music))|envelopes}}, of which there exist four types with different attenuations. There exists a basic "Linear", "Square", and "SquareRoot" attenuation, but only the fourth type gets used, curiously named "SampleCell".<ref>From instruction <code>0x80478be0</code> of the US Demo 17 ''Pikmin 2'' DOL; function <code>JASOscillator::relTableSampleCell</code> with debugging symbols.</ref> This fourth envelope type is similar to the SampleCell II software's instrument attenuation, suggesting that the instruments may have been programmed and designed in this software, prior to their in-game implementation.
