The '''music''' of [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']] accompanies every mode of the game, from themes during gameplay to scores of cutscenes and menus, in order to provide a more engaging and focally directed experience. Generally, the textural style of the music reflects either the game's new mission from [[Hocotate]], the organic overworld of [[PNF-404]], or the specific visual theme of a [[cave]]; by vastly varying its unique instrumentations, register, and rhythms. During gameplay, each piece of music sets the mood for the particular environment, and adapts dynamically to what tasks Pikmin are carrying out, the identity and condition of the controlled [[leader]], and the time of [[day]]. Some tracks even adapt specifically to the actions of bosses. Between gameplay, pre-rendered cutscenes are scored with a large orchestra, and in-game cutscenes are scored with small ensembles.

Heard in the [[2-Player Battle menu]]. This wartime-esque theme has a strong melody of fourth and fifths with fanfare-like arpeggiating trumpets to promote the imminent battle. As the theme progresses, the harmony gets more intense; from soft strings and glockenspiel, to stable horn intervals, to both plus bugling trumpets. | Heard in the [[Menu#2-Player Battle|2-Player Battle menu]].

Heard in the [[Challenge Mode menu]]. This theme actually uses the same motif as the 2-Player Battle theme, disguised under a different rhythm in the accompaniment. Eventually the theme takes on its own identity under a new chord progression, and then the marimba becomes the center instrument for a time. Overall the register is higher and the instruments smaller; even the snare drum is a small piccolo snare. The piece keeps relatively the same intensity for its duration, as this mode is not about combat, but cooperation. | Heard in the [[Menu#Challenge Mode|Challenge Mode menu]].

Heard in the [[options menu]]. This theme is entirely synthesized, with a melody not present until late in the track on a sine-wave-like lead (since the options menu is not likely to be frequented). Instead, most of the tune is a C drone in pad strings, an arpeggiating square wave, and quick, evolving chords on a flute-like synthesizer. This structure is a bit similar to the theme of [[Music in Pikmin#The Forest Navel|The Forest Navel]], but again, nothing in this theme is as prominent or developmental. | Heard in the [[Menu#Options|options menu]].

Heard in the | Heard in the [[Menu#High scores|high scores menu]]. This extremely subtle theme is a jazz waltz, complete with brushed swinging drums, a walking bass line, and a celeste playing a quaint, quiet, almost childish melody.

Heard in the [[ | Heard in the [[Menu#Bonuses|bonus menu of cinemas]]. This is a simple playful waltz played on [[wikipedia:Calliope (music)|steam calliope]], an instrument that was usually reserved for circus acts or riverboats but could sometimes find itself at a theatre in the early 20th century. Eventually joined by accordion, electric bass, and a simple bass drum and snare kit, the tune becomes a sort of polka waltz. However, this polka section was probably not considered likely to be heard; not much time is spent in the Bonuses menu. | ||

Heard in the [[area selection menu]]. This strong theme is a re-elaboration of the motifs in the main theme, mostly performed on flute. Booming contrast between the low basses, harmonies in mid-range horns and strings, and high flutes and celeste makes this one of the most orchestral loops in the game, which also earned it and [[Music in Pikmin#View|the area selection theme in the first game]] an orchestral arrangement and performance in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhbU0dAvbpc "Symphonic Legends" orchestral game music concert]. | Heard in the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection menu]].

Heard in the [[Piklopedia | Heard in the [[Menu#Piklopedia|Piklopedia]] or [[Menu#Treasure Hoard|treasure hoard]]. This quiet theme in 5/8 time signature has a low melody on fretless bass, enhancing its subtlety. As the theme goes on, the bass gets more ornamental in its style, but the piece mainly stays at one intensity level, so as not to distract from the articles to be read. This theme also contains instances of the [[Music in Pikmin#The Distant Spring|"cymbalesque"]] synthesized instrument from the first game, used as complements to the harmony. | ||

Once again, the natural environment below has been left temporarily, and as such the instrumentation changes to more synthetic pads, leads, and percussion. The piece works well as a theme to [[Mail|communicating with Hocotate]]. | ||

Militaristic snare drum is combined with cinematic strings and treasure-associated synthesizers to demonstrate that a mission is most certainly complete. It can either function as a celebration of victory if many treasures were salvaged, or an ironically didactic tune if the mission was aborted or if many Pikmin were lost. If the cave is completed in this menu, and the player waits for 3 minutes and 50 seconds, [[Easter egg#Totaka's song|Totaka's song]] will be played in C.

Heard | Heard after a cave in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] has been successfully exited. Using complex gestures in synthesized bass, marimba, and snare drum, this composition definitely conveys the relay of information. The melody, in a different meter and over a different harmonic progression, is the main motif from the "today's report" menu theme, again stating that this menu is the end of the challenge. | ||

Very different from [[Music in Pikmin#Carry, Fight, Increase and be Eaten|the first game's attraction mode theme]], this theme is simply African drums and percussion along with a modal melody on a flute and a Pikmin making small noises to the beat. The entire track has a low pass filter, probably so as not to distract from the video. But the high register of the melody and Pikmin's voice convey the scale of the pre-rendered cutscenes very well. | ||

Heard during the [[Cutscene#Pikmin 2|introduction cutscene]], which plays upon starting a new game, or occasionally during attraction mode. This orchestral suite begins with the [[Media:HocotateMotif.ogg|"Hocotatian motif"]] elaborated, until its regality is abruptly silenced by booming percussion as the [[S.S. Dolphin]] is struck by a meteor. A brief major turnaround in the strings recaps the events of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], and the S.S.

[[The President]]'s monologue about [[Hocotate Freight]]'s debt has no score, to focus attention on the President's words. Then a brief tuba-like sound effect characterizes the spaceship that takes the S.S. Dolphin, and a series of string stabs drives in the severity of the company's debt. As Captain Olimar drops his souvenir, a flute dramatizes the its rolling to [[Louie]]'s feet, and this augments into a brief arrhythmic section characterizing the characters' confusion over the bottle cap. When the [[Hocotate ship]] abducts it, short whole-tone runs in the strings build tension until a crash of cymbals reveals the artifact is worth 100 [[Pokos]]. A sort of [[wikipedia:Word painting|word painting]] ensues as the debt is lifted by 100 Pokos, causing a melodic line to ascend up to a harp glissando. | ||

After the introduction, time freezes and the ship begins explaining. During this time, a looping texture plays, since the dialog can last indefinitely. Simple, background pad instruments and electronic percussion (plus hand percussion like castanets) connect the ship's character to the dialog and to the lesson this cutscene teaches. | ||

This theme is quite multi-layered; it has marimba and trumpet playing a call and response of the ''Pikmin 2'' motif, underneath which a celeste and english horn play [[wikipedia:Polyrhythm|polyrhythms]]. After all the instruments but the celeste relax into a held G major chord, the piece smoothly transitions to the same synthesized loop as the new Onion discovery cutscene (above), since the ship has begun its dialog. | ||

The ''Pikmin 2'' motif is mentioned here, but the brass instruments trying to play it seem to fail and squeak arbitrarily. Meanwhile a dissonant marimba and percussive tubular bell form the rhythm underneath. After this chaotic intro, the ship addresses how to save the suffering Pikmin over a distressed pad loop. An oboe plays arpeggios of the harmony's [[wikipedia:Minor major seventh chord|minor major ninth chord]], while the pad strings are predominantly minor, a tense turn from the usual ship's dialog loop. | ||

The final note transitions to scoring the strange occurrence of lights on the planet's surface, using pad synthesizers, handbell, and echoes of a Pikmin group singing along to the ''Pikmin 2'' motif, until natural instruments return in a resolution when Olimar realizes the [[Onion]]s have accompanied him. Pentatonic glissandos on the harp play the red Onion's movement in particular. The Hocotatian motif returns when the ship reappears, with its pilot now overjoyed. As the ship rises above the atmosphere, returning to Hocotate, one last development of the success motif returns with full orchestra, jingle bells, and a choir-like pad, until a fade to the surface of PNF-404, with a drone-like harmony in violins and violas as cellos and celeste calmly salute the ''Pikmin 2'' motif a final time in C, the end of which signals the end of the game. | ||

The cave themes are different from the area themes in that they are minimalistic and randomly generated, to reflect the more minimalistic and random layout of cave floors. Specifically, normal cave themes have very few instruments playing at once, and the main instruments either have preset rhythms and select randomly from a pitch set, or (more usually) have preset samples that play on randomly selected beats. That being said, the music will still dynamically add mixes to reflect parameters in gameplay. These parameters are the same as the [[#Areas|area themes]], but since there are no Burgeoning Spiderworts underground and since the [[day]] does not progress, there are no Spiderwort mixes or Sunset versions of these themes. The selection of a cave theme for a certain sublevel seems to depend on the design and content of the sublevel, although this happens more noticeably with some themes than with others; in Challenge Mode this is even less of a priority. | ||
The | The list of themes below is in a reasonable main-game order: [[Emergence Cave]], [[Hole of Beasts]], [[White Flower Garden]], [[Citadel of Spiders]], [[Bulblax Kingdom]], [[Snagret Hole]], [[Subterranean Complex]], [[Frontier Cavern]], [[Shower Room]], [[Glutton's Kitchen]], [[Submerged Castle]], [[Cavern of Chaos]], [[Hole of Heroes]], [[Dream Den]]. It should be noted that any names for these themes are conjectural; the themes in this list are named according to the dominant sublevel design with which they are associated. Also, the recordings of these themes are recordings of single iterations; the themes are random and will not play the same way twice in-game. | ||

Loosely named for the majority of sublevels in the main game with an abundance of [[fire]] hazards. The cave themes get more experimental with this rhythmic bed over which one instrument can improvise random pitches. The main instrument still plays to a specific timing, however; each two measures the note density increases from 1 to 2 to 3-5, and then resets. A noticeable factor in this composition is the echo in the normal version, giving the sublevel ambiance a sense of depth. The treasure mix in this piece does not complement the melody but the rhythm. Instead, the combat mix adds harmony to the melody. | |||

Caves often tend to include more purposely synthetic-sounding instruments, since the landscape is likewise more unfamiliar than general [[area]] terrain. Although instruments in cave themes may sound like a particular natural instrument, there are timbres that distinguish this instrument as synthesized. For example, the main instrument here mimics a trombone, but still has enough differences in attack and cutoff to be an independent sound. | Caves often tend to include more purposely synthetic-sounding instruments, since the landscape is likewise more unfamiliar than general [[area]] terrain.

Again the melodic instrument appears to resemble a real-life instrument (a cello), and small artifacts of white noise and its manner of switching between notes distinguish it from a cello. A pulse is implied in this piece, but a meter to organize that pulse is not as definable, especially when the percussion is randomly ordered. | |||

But when the rollers are defeated, a false turn from the "boss defeated" cue becomes a remix of the boss theme in B♭, with horn squeaks and a parody of the original melody signaling that the threat of this boss has been nullified. The Waterwraith's defensive shake even has a unique cue during this time. | ||

Briefly (although this would barely be heard over the sound effects in-game), one can hear clicking where the string sample ends and loops. | ||

However, unlike the first game, this jingle has three sections instead of two, and while the first section is tonal and coherent, the latter two sections take radical turns into atonal patterns. The end of the third section eventually brings the melodic line back to the beginning key, so that the loop can begin again. The current leader determines the key and instrument of the jingle.
