====Sun Meter====

|Pikmin

|Pikmin 2

|Pikmin 3

}}

Whenever the sun icon reaches one quarter, one half, or three quarters into the meter, it pops out for a second, and the sound of some small bells plays. At the middle of the day, these bells play twice in a row, and in ''Pikmin 2'', two church bells can also be heard. These minor details call the player's attention, and help them keep track of the passage of time. Just before sunset, the half-hour chime of ''{{w|Westminster Quarters}}'' plays, except slightly different, with the notes G♯⁴, C⁵, A♯⁴, D♯⁵, C⁵, G♯⁴, A♯⁴, D♯⁴. In Japanese schools, the half-hour chime of ''Westminster Quarters'' indicates the beginning or end of a period.

On the bottom-left corner, an icon for each available [[leader]] can be seen, each inside a bubble. To the right of the bubble, there is a [[#health wheels|health wheel]], representing the leader's health.

====Standby Pikmin====

|Pikmin

|Pikmin 2

|Pikmin 3

}}

In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', to the left of the [[#Pikmin counter|Pikmin counter]], there is a bubble with the icon of a Pikmin inside. This icon represents the type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] closest to the current leader. When the [[throw]]ing button is held, a Pikmin from this type will be grabbed, as it is the closest one. There are however some times in which a different Pikmin is held, likely caused due to calculation errors on the game's behalf. This problem is more prominent in the first game. If there are no Pikmin nearby, a hollow figure in the shape of a Pikmin will appear instead. The icon shown in this bubble will also reflect the Pikmin's [[maturity]].

====Pikmin counter====

|Pikmin

|Pikmin 2

|Pikmin 3

The Pikmin counter displays statistics about the player's Pikmin, and these statistics vary by game.

{{clear}}

====Spray counter====

|Pikmin 2

|Pikmin 3

}}

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', after the player has created at least one [[spray]], a counter will appear on the left side of the screen.

====Treasure Gauge====

In ''Pikmin 2'', the Treasure Gauge appears on the HUD, above the Pikmin counter, after the [[Prototype Detector]] has been collected. It helps the player to track down every treasure in the game.

{{clear}}

====Sublevel====

When in a [[cave]] in ''Pikmin 2'', the day counter is replaced with a sublevel counter. Much like with the day counter, the word "SUBLEVEL" appears atop a bubble, that contains the sublevel number inside. When on the final sublevel, the words "FINAL" and "FLOOR" appear instead, in yellow.

{{clear}}

===''Pikmin 3'' main===

====Juice counter====

This counter appears on the top-right corner of the screen, below the [[#Day|day counter]], and merely states how many bottles of [[juice]] the player currently has. This does not get updated during the day, seeing as recovered fruits are only juiced when the day ends. If this number reads 0 and the player has not collected any fruit yet, the bottle will blink in an orange color to draw attention to the fact that there won't be food to consume if the day ends. Otherwise, if the number shows a 0, 1, or 2, the bottle will gently blink yellow.

====Recovered fruit list====

This list shows all of the fruits collected in the current day right under the juice counter. A new column of fruits is started after every 7th fruit collected. If a fruit is in more than two pieces, the list will show a piece of the fruit with a counter next to it showing how many pieces have been collected, until the entire fruit has been retrieved. In 2-player mode in {{p3d}}, this is at the center of the screen.

====KopPad button====

====Hints button====

{{clear}}

===''Hey! Pikmin'' main===

These HUD elements appear in ''Hey! Pikmin'' exclusively.

====Time====

In ''Pikmin 2'''s Challenge Mode, the sublevel counter is replaced by a timer. The word "TIME" is on top of an oval bubble, which contains the time left inside. When the timer reaches 10 seconds, it becomes red. Upon entering a new sublevel, some more time is added, and the timer's numbers pop out for a second to signal this change.

{{clear}}

====Pokos====

This item is on the top of the screen, with a [[Poko]] symbol to its left. The number inside the square bubble indicates the amount of Pokos collected thus far in this challenge, and whenever it changes, the digits pop out momentarily.

{{clear}}

====Deaths====

Much like the Poko counter, a number inside a rectangular bubble indicates the number of Pikmin who died in this challenge so far. This counter is to the right of the Poko counter, and the icon to its left is that of a Pikmin [[soul]]. Likewise, the digits pop out when this number changes.

====Roulette wheel====

If the player has at least one power in hold, the [[2-Player Battle#Roulette wheel|roulette wheel]] will appear on the right side of their screen. When the roulette is spun, several squares with icons will roll down, until it eventually stops. The square of the standby power will pop out and wiggle about; a flashy {{button|gc|y|wii|-}} icon will also appear above it.

{{clear}}

====Marbles====

On the lower-right corner of each player's screen, four bubbles appear. These indicate how many yellow marbles the player has collected, with each one retrieved filling up an empty bubble with a marble icon.

====Collect Treasure! counter====

This meter displays how many [[Poko]]s the player has collected. This meter also displays how close the player is to achieving the next medal (bronze, silver, gold, platinum). The meter doesn't show notches below zero or above the platinum score.

{{clear}}

====Battle Enemies! counter====

This is the Battle Enemies! counterpart to the above Poko bar, showing the amount of enemies that the player has defeated. Unlike the Poko meter, this meter also displays the amount of enemies left to defeat.

{{clear}}

====Pikmin Reunion counter====

This variant of the Collect Treasure! counter appears in [[Pikmin Reunion]], and contains a box to display how many [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] the player has collected.

{{clear}}

====Time====

The time remaining to clear a Mission Mode or Side Stories stage. It shows the time remaining, and flashes to warn the player when a quarter of the allotted time has elapsed. It is in the top right corner of the screen.

{{clear}}

====Time counter====

This counter displays the time remaining in Side Story missions based on completing a single task within a time limit. It replaces the standard timer. The medal displayed changes as the timer counts down. It is in the top left corner of the screen.

{{clear}}

====Roulette wheel====

The roulette wheel shows the player what power-up they currently possess, and how many powers, up to a total of five, the player has in reserve. The powers are earned via [[Cupid’s Grenade]]s.

====Radar toggle====

This label notifies the player that they can press {{button|wiiu|padd}} to open the [[radar]]. The label is only shown while Off-TV Play is enabled.

====Stylus controls buttons====

{{stub}}

These stylus controls are for the moves that cannot be performed by touching anywhere on the map or using a shoulder button. They are spray (functionally identical to the normal spray command), dismiss (which doubles as the charge command during lock-on) and Apps (which activate the map, Go Here!, and the apps available on the GamePad when using other control schemes. The item command also appears here in Bingo Battle, shown by a [[Cupid's Grenade]] icon.

===''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' action menu===

{| class="wikitable sortable"

! Leader swap

| Swaps to the specified leader. Leaders in the area follow a specific order, and when there are two choices to swap to, the leader on the left action is the one that comes earlier in the order, and the leader to the right action comes later. In [[Story Mode]], the order is always Alph, Brittany, Charlie, but in [[Mission Mode]], it depends on the mission. The order can be found in the corresponding mission's article.

| Matches the icon of the leader to swap to.

| When there are leaders to swap to. If there is only one leader to pick, only the left action will be available.

There is also a small cone that points downward, to the center of the cursor. This cone, present in all games, has a color that reflects the type of the current [[#Standby Pikmin|standby Pikmin]], and is colored white if there is no Pikmin available for standby.

In ''Hey! Pikmin'', a small white cursor appears underneath the stylus when it is pressed on the screen, and doesn't appear otherwise.

===Fraction numbers===

|Pikmin

|Pikmin 2

|Pikmin 3

}}

{{game help|p3}}

When something is being carried, two numbers will appear on top of it, one on top of a dash, one below. The number on the top indicates the minimum strength needed to carry the object (i.e. the weight), whereas the bottom number shows the total strength of the Pikmin currently grabbing hold of it.

Fraction numbers also appear in several other situations, albeit less commonly.

* When Pikmin are standing on top of a [[scale]] (a pair of scales being consisted of two, for the sake of clarity), the bottom number will always be 1, and the top number will indicate the weight of the Pikmin on top of it. These numbers are always colored in pale blue.

* When dragging a cardboard box, the top number indicates the Pikmin needed to get it moving, and the bottom one indicates the Pikmin that are pushing. These numbers are always colored in rock gray with pale blue outline.

In the ''Pikmin'' games, an object's [[health]] is not represented with numbers, as is the norm in strategy games, but rather, by a pie chart in a circle. When an entity has all of its health, the wheel will not be visible; it only appears when damage is taken. The pie chart inside the wheel makes a full circle when the health is full, and opens up clockwise, from the top, as damage is sustained, finally opening all the way and disappearing when all health is lost.

In ''Hey! Pikmin'', an enemy's health is displayed as a small bar instead of a wheel. The bar starts filled with magenta, and as the enemy's health decreases, the magenta portion decreases and the grey proportion increases, from right to left.

===Lock-on display===

{{game help|p3d|Document what stuff looks like when the player is locked-on to something.}}

In {{p3}}, objects which the cursor has locked-on to are highlighted in blue, with camera control being taken away from the player to focus in on the thing in question. A new blue overlay appears when locking on around all but the middle of the screen, with the object's name being displayed on the middle-left side of the screen, and with lots of [[Koppaite text]] on the edges of the screen.
