The '''KopPad''' | The '''KopPad''' (GPAD in Japan) is a device used by the [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is very similar to the [[Wii U]] GamePad. The device serves many purposes to help the characters through the game, and is likewise a gameplay mechanic for the player. The Wii U GamePad functions as this device during the game. | ||
The KopPad's | The KopPad can be personalized, as its screen rim color matches that of their owner: [[Alph]]'s is blue, [[Brittany]]'s is pink, and [[Captain Charlie|Charlie]]'s is green. After crash-landing on the planet, Alph is separated from his KopPad. As a result, the player can't use it until the first [[bridge]] is built. | ||
In [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], the KopPad can also be used, but it is more limited. In the latter, it has no extra apps at all, and only shows the map. | |||

The '''Fruit File''' is the fourth app on the KopPad. It is installed after the first fruit is recovered, and lists the types and amount of all collected fruits up to this point, sorted by order of collection. Tapping on a fruit will show its name, the amount of juice it's worth, how many of it have been collected, how many Pikmin are needed to carry it, Brittany's notes and finally, if the fruit radar has been unlocked, how many of this type of fruit there are in the game | The '''Fruit File''' is the fourth app on the KopPad.

When the fruit radar is unlocked, the total number of existing pieces of fruit is also displayed, and the total of instances of each fruit also appears in the file. A star on the top-right corner of each cell indicates all existing samples of that fruit have been collected. | When the fruit radar is unlocked, the total number of existing pieces of fruit is also displayed, and the total of instances of each fruit also appears in the file.

By opening the '''camera''' app, the player can use the GamePad much like they would use a real camera.

The GamePad's screen shows the scenery from the view of the leader, holding the KopPad like a camera. As the player rotates and moves the GamePad, the changes are reflected in what's displayed on the screen. With this, the player can view the action from another perspective, and gain visual access to otherwise invisible details, such as the [[hidden murals]]. While it is not possible to walk manually while holding the camera, it is possible to use the camera on a leader under the Go Here! command. | ||

Touching a part of the frame will cause anything at that distance to focus, and scenery at other distances to become blurred; naturally, the farther it is, the further it blurs. | ||

Attempting to enter the camera app while the current leader is [[pluck]]ing, [[dodging]], [[spray]]ing, in pain from being hurt, or lying down on the ground (for instance, from getting [[electricity|zapped]]) will result in the game trying to switch to the KopPad camera mode, but in less than a second cancel it and return to the radar app. In addition, the camera app button does not function at all when the current leader is transitioning between sections of an area, or while the current leader is captured by an enemy other than the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] (for example, while swallowed by the [[Burrowing Snagret]]). | Attempting to enter the camera app while the current leader is [[pluck]]ing, [[dodging]], [[spray]]ing, in pain from being hurt, or lying down on the ground (for instance, from getting [[electricity|zapped]]) will result in the game trying to switch to the KopPad camera mode, but in less than a second cancel it and return to the radar app. In addition, the camera app button does not function at all when the current leader is transitioning between sections of an area, or while the current leader is captured by an enemy other than the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] (for example, while swallowed by the [[Burrowing Snagret]]). | ||

*Oddly, when a leader uses their KopPad to contact another explorer, the latter is seen not holding their KopPad.
