Editing Hidden mural

Throughout {{p3}} there are '''hidden murals''' – these are fifteen small abstract drawings of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] doing various tasks. They are normally found in dark or not-so-obvious locations, and most of the time are too small to see clearly, so to view them with detail, the [[KopPad]]'s camera feature is necessary. The origin of these murals is currently unknown, and it is not clear if these are rock paintings or if they are engravings, known as {{w|petroglyph}}s. Each [[area]] in story mode has three drawings. Each area contains drawings of only one Pikmin type, usually the Pikmin type found in that area, and each of the markings there represents that Pikmin in a different [[maturity]].

 

In ''Pikmin 3'', these drawings are simply [[Easter egg]]s with no in-game reward for finding them, but in {{p3d}}, their existence is acknowledged by Olimar,{{cite quote|While exploring this planet, I often see what appear to be murals. Did the Pikmin draw these? Because they capture each Pikmin's essence perfectly-much more artistically that I would be capable of. I must remember to take photographic documentation.|Captain Olimar|Olimar's Log Vol. 2, file 3}} and taking photos of the murals with the KopPad's camera earns the player [[badge (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|badges]].
