The '''KopPad''' | The '''KopPad''' (GPAD in Japanese) is a [[menu]] in {{p3}} with various functions. It can be used to view the [[radar]], see information about the world, and even take photos. In-universe, it is a device physically used by the [[leader]]s, and looks very similar to the [[Wii U]] GamePad. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', the GamePad represents this device and all its functions take place on the controller; in {{p3d}}, its functions take place on the main screen. | ||
The KopPad's main use is in [[Story Mode]], where it has 5 [[#Apps|apps]] (6 in ''Deluxe'') that each have different functions. | The KopPad's main use is in [[Story Mode]], where it has 5 [[#Apps|apps]] (6 in ''Deluxe'') that each have different functions. 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 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. The device is used in [[cutscene]]s to receive calls from other leaders and the [[S.S. Drake]]. At the beginning of the game after crash-landing on the planet, Alph is separated from his KopPad. As a result, the player cannot use it until after the first [[bridge]] is built. | 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.

Besides allowing audio and video communication between leaders and the [[S.S. Drake]], the KopPad also allows the explorers to read [[data file]]s, get terrain and Pikmin info, store data on [[fruit]]s, and take pictures of the environment. For these latter purposes, the KopPad comes equipped with installable '''apps'''. Each app has an icon on the KopPad touchscreen that can be tapped to open the respective app. Some apps are installed at certain points in the game (at which point they are installed to all explorers' KopPads simultaneously), and uninstalled apps appear with a × symbol on their icon. If new content was added to an app, the word "NEW" will appear under its icon. The five icons are as follows: | Besides allowing audio and video communication between leaders and the [[S.S.

The '''radar''' is the default app on the KopPad. It provides a map of the area, stylized so that water, terrain, structures, and boundary walls are high-contrast and easy to distinguish. It has a static level of zoom, and by default, the map is centered on the active leader. In ''Pikmin 3'', it is always visible on the GamePad if the player has [[Off-TV Play]] off, and unexplored parts of an area won't appear drawn out in the radar until the player approaches them. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the entire area is always drawn out, though unexplored portions are darker. | The '''radar''' is the default app on the KopPad.

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 file for a fruit becomes available to view when the first specimen of that fruit is first juiced (including the first piece in a bundle of fruit, like the Dawn Pustules). | The '''Fruit File''' is the fourth app on the KopPad.

The '''Pikmin Info''' screen shows statistics about the Pikmin count.

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. (In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the player uses the joystick, rather than motion.) 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. | By opening the '''camera''' app, the player can use the GamePad much like they would use a real camera.

On top of allowing a pseudo-first person view, this camera also allows the player to take images and share them on [[Miiverse]] | On top of allowing a pseudo-first person view, this camera also allows the player to take images and share them on [[Miiverse]]. {{button|wiiu|lstick}} can be used to zoom in and out, with the default level of zoom being 1.3×, the minimum being 1.0×, and the maximum being 3.0×. 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. | ||
{{button|wiiu|zl}} toggles the flash function. With it enabled, pictures will be taken with flash. This can be useful to lighten up otherwise dark pictures. Interestingly, the flash also causes an {{w|Tapetum lucidum#Eyeshine|eyeshine}} effect on Bulborbs, and most other creatures. | {{button|wiiu|zl}} toggles the flash function.

*Oddly, when a leader uses their KopPad to contact another explorer, the latter is seen not holding their KopPad. Although unlikely, it is possible that it is placed on a stand to allow a better view of the recipient, as they can be seen leaning forward to turn it off. | *Oddly, when a leader uses their KopPad to contact another explorer, the latter is seen not holding their KopPad.

*Given that [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] also use KopPads, it's likely they are sold across other planets, including [[Hocotate]]. | |||
