When a game is reading its contents and generating the content to give the player, it is in a state of '''loading'''. Some games load on specific screens while others load more content while the gameplay is happening. The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] use a loading screen. | |||

{{p2}} uses a very similar area loading screen to ''Pikmin'' for loading the main areas, but the name is yellow, its highlights have small glares, and a rippling effect of the same text occurs behind the name. When loading a [[cave]]'s sublevel in story mode, the name in white will appear to fall and bounce one letter at a time into a rippling, dripping liquid over a black screen (although the effect only covers so much text; not all letters in the [[Subterranean Complex]] produce this effect). Below that is the name of the sublevel. The same screen occurs while loading a [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] level, except instead of the liquid effect there is a cloud of red and orange squares that slowly pulsate behind the text. | |||
Before loading a [[2-Player Battle]] stage, the game shows a different loading screen. The stage's name appears at the top, with a fire effect applied behind it. Just under it, the text "Loading..." appears aligned to the right. The second half of the screen has a large box of information. The top of the box lists the two marble-related win conditions, and under that there is a [[random]] advisory for the game mode. This screen only disappears when either player presses {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}}, or automatically 10 seconds after the game is done loading. | |||

When loading an area in {{p3}}, a familiar black screen with the area's name in white appears, with a subtle reflection and rippling behind it. At the bottom, there is a [[random]]ly-picked gameplay tip, preceded by a relevant icon. This tip may get swapped out for another tip if the game takes longer to load. The same screen appears in [[Bingo Battle]], and in [[Mission Mode]], the screen is the same, except it also writes down the type of mission under the level's name. Besides the area loading screens, the game also shows a screen with a static image of a few Pikmin in a green environment when loading the whole game. A loading icon will also appear with a silhouetted Red Pikmin running along a loading wheel. After this screen comes the [[Menu#Title screen|title screen]]. | |||

While technically, it is true that there can be up to four roulette wheel ''spins'' in queue, this can lead to players believing they can only have four ''powers'' in queue, when they can actually have five (the four queued spins plus the current power on standby). | While technically, it is true that there can be up to four roulette wheel ''spins'' in queue, this can lead to players believing they can only have four ''powers'' in queue, when they can actually have five (the four queued spins plus the current power on standby). | ||
