The {{pg}} display a '''loading screen''' while they are loading content to show to the player. This happens in many places, such as when the game starts up or when an [[area]] is being loaded.
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.

===''Pikmin 2''===
The game's startup has its own loading screen, showing the Nintendo logo (the color varies depending on the version), with several Pikmin of one type or various types dropping down on or popping up from it. After a second, the Pikmin jump back down behind the logo, or a Purple Pikmin suddenly drops on the logo, knocking the others away.
{{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 some text graphic 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|gc|a|wii|a}}, or automatically 10 seconds after the game is done loading.

Interestingly, in most cases, the rippled text that appears behind an area's name is not the name itself but something different. On the Valley of Repose, the rippled text is indeed "Valley of Repose", but on the [[Day results menu|Today's Report]] screen, which also has a fiery-ripple effect, the same "Valley of Repose" text is what appears behind "Today's Report". On the Awakening Wood, the text is {{j|今日の成績|Kyō no Seiseki|Today's Results|f=tp}}, and on the Perplexing Pool and Wistful Wild, it is "Challenge Cave", in a slightly different font from the norm.

When loading an area in {{p3}}, a familiar black screen with the area's name in yellow 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 [[title screen]].

{{game help|p4|Document loading screens for Dandori Challenges, Dandori Battles, cutscenes, and the game itself.}}
When loading an area or cave in {{p4}}, the loading screen is mostly black, with the name of the location being loaded in the center in yellow text with a subtle glow of red behind it. Below the area or cave name is the current progress, with statistics for Rescues, Treasures, and Onions. In the bottom-left corner, there will be a tip that will be related to the area or cave you are currently entering. In the bottom-right corner, there is a simple animation of a Red Pikmin silhouette walking. In [[update]] 1.0.2, a progress bar was added underneath the Pikmin that will show the current progress of the loading screen.

When {{pb}} is opened, a loading screen will appear. The background artwork has changed between versions of the app, but always contains [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] carrying [[seedling]]s and/or [[fruit]]. A bar across the bottom will fill up with green and dark green stripes, and will advance to the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Main menu|main menu]] when full. Above the bar there is a reminder for the player to be alert and aware of their surroundings. [[Update]] 41.0 added loading screen tips about the game that appear a few seconds after the safety reminder, changing every few seconds. Tapping the screen will also change the tip.

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).

|-
|Pikmin Ecology||On the surface, you can withdraw up to three types of Pikmin at the same time.

|-
|Ice Pikmin||Chilly Ice Pikmin can freeze any body of water.
|-
|Ice Pikmin||The larger the body of water, the more Ice Pikmin you will need to freeze it.

|-
|Pikmin Ecology||If you have Oatchi transport prey on the surface, a seed for the type of Pikmin you have the least of that have an Onion will be produced.
|-
|Command||If you Command Oatchi to Pick Up a Scent, he'll try to sniff out whatever it is you need to find.
|-
|Command||If the number of Pikmin without an Onion starts to dwindle, have Oatchi search for that Pikmin type's scent.

|Things Oatchi Can't Do||Unfortunately, Oatchi can't climb up a climbing wall or climbing ropes.
|-
|Pluck||If you teach Oatchi the Pluck skill, he'll pluck Pikmin sprouts for you.

====Night expeditions====
Tips for [[night expedition]]s in {{p4}}.
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
! Tip Title || Tip Text
|-
|Night Expeditions||If you defeat all the creatures or protect a Lumiknoll until morning, you can harvest the glow sap you need to cure leaflings.
|-
|Night Expeditions||The light from Lumiknolls and Tricknolls attracts creatures at night.
|-
|Night Expeditions||Tricknolls are linked to Lumiknolls by underground stems. If glow pellets are transported to either one, the Lumiknoll will produce Glow Pikmin.
|-
|Night Expeditions||The farther you stray from a Lumiknoll, the harder it will be to protect it. Don't get too distracted while collecting glow pellets.
|-
|Night Expeditions||Only one glow sap can be collected from each Lumiknoll.
|-
|Night Expeditions||Build structures during the day to make night expeditions easier.
|-
|Night Expeditions||There's no need to move your base during night expeditions.
|-
|Night Expeditions||Creatures are more active at night. Keep an eye on your night radar display to see if they head in the direction of a Lumiknoll.
|-
|Bulborb Larva||Numerous Bulborb Larvae will emerge from a nest at the same time, so if you find one, be sure to destroy it right away.
|-
|Smoky Progg||Break a Smoky Progg's nectar egg to prevent it from hatching
|-
|Smoky Progg||Pikmin will perish in an instant if they touch its body-enveloping Gloom. Don't hesitate! Try hitting it head-on with a Glowmob.
|-
|Night Expeditions||You'll want to defeat Baldy Long Legs quickly. Try blasting it with a Glowmob from directly beneath its head.
|-
|Smoky Progg||You can jump to avoid the Gloom that spews from its mouth.
|-
|Night Expeditions||Don't hesitate to make use of Glow Seeds and items.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||You'll only get one Glow Pikmin for every three glow pellets, so be sure to transport lots of glow pellets.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||Creatures caught in a Glowmob will be rendered temporarily immobile by the brightness.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||Even if they're not hit directly by a Glowmob, nearby creatures can still be affected by it.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||The more Glow Pikmin you have in your squad, the longer creatures will be immobilized by your Glowmobs.
|-
|Night Expeditions||Glow Pikmin are strong against fire, water, electricity, ice, and poison— but watch out, because they can still be squished and eaten.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||The bodies of creatures won't be left behind if you defeat them during night expeditions. Large creatures will transform into glow pellets.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||When Glow Pikmin finish their current task, they'll return to your squad.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||Over time, Glow Pikmin will grow leaves, buds, and then flowers. Their flowers won't fall even if they're shaken off by creatures.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||Even if your Glow Pikmin perish, they won't be included in the number of lost Pikmin.
|-
|Glow Pikmin||For every five Glow Pikmin that propagate during night expeditions, you will get one Glow Seed to take back with you.

|-
|Investigating Caves||If you leave a cave before you're done exploring, you can always go back and resume your exploration from any unlocked sublevel.
|-
|Investigating Caves||Inside caves, creatures will be collected by the S.S. Beagle. You'll get some sparklium in return.
|-
|Candypop Buds||Try throwing Pikmin into Candypop Buds. The buds will release seeds of the same color as their flower.
|-
|Treasure Gauge||Its alerts get stronger as you move closer to treasure and castaways. When there's nothing left to detect, the gauge automatically turns off.
|-
|Cave Exploration||Once you explore a cave 100 percent, creatures will reappear when you return.

|-

|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||It's best to leave the transporting to the Blue Pikmin and the fighting to the Rock Pikmin.
|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||You can freeze water to create a shortcut. However, treasure in the water can't be transported while it's frozen over.
|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||Have Purple Pikmin transport heavy objects. The key to earning medals is picking up those Crimson Banquets.
|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||Winged Pikmin won't be affected by a moving walkway's direction. Use them to transport nuggets.

|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||If you want to move Yellow Pikmin across a body of water, you can have them ride on Oatchi.
|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||If a gate is shut, Pikmin will go around the long way. Flipping switches at the right time is key.

|-
|Dandori Challenge Tips||Hurry to collect raw materials and get right to building.
