The music for a [[title screen]] has the important role of establishing what the musical style of a game will be, as a listener's first impressions of a soundtrack are likely to be made here; the title screen of ''Pikmin 4'' immediately demonstrates its brand new emphasis on ambience and subtlety, which are two regularly occurring themes throughout rest of the game. This piece is almost entirely solo piano, with an occasional strike of a large {{w|standing bowl}} for bass; the piano is also notably cinematic in style and very high-fidelity. A high-pitched fanfare played by this piano briefly introduces the title of the game, and then begins the main looping section of the piece in a 6/8 time signature. While the chords are mostly consonant, occasional out-of-key notes add an uneasy feel to the piece. A minute into the loop, a delicate performance of the ''Pikmin'' motif can be heard.

Plays when the player is selecting an area in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], unless it is the first [[day]] within the mode in a single gameplay session. The first time the player is prompted to select an area after talking to Olimar (regardless of how far along they are in the Shipwreck Tale), the [[#Rescue Command Post|music]] for the surrounding Rescue Command Post continues playing instead. This theme derives its melody from [[Music in Pikmin#View|''View'']] in {{p1}}{{'s}} soundtrack, but is arranged to sound more like an upbeat march.

Heard when the first [[Red Pikmin]] is plucked. In ''Pikmin 4'', each new type of Pikmin that is discovered will introduce itself with its own variation of the ''Pikmin 2'' motif. Each of these variants is identical in structure, with various acoustic instruments like clarinet, violins, and a shaker making up the accompaniment (a glockenspiel also helps invoke the Pikmin as a whole). The motif, however, will be played on an instrument that is characteristic of the Pikmin it is associated with. Red Pikmin, for example, use a synthesizer for their theme.

After each of the Pikmin discovery themes (except for the Glow Pikmin), a loop will play, which is a simple, quirky waltz on pizzicato violins loops during the Rescue Corps members' discussion on the newly discovered Pikmin type, with some more brief references to the ''Pikmin 2'' motif played on an alto recorder.

Heard when the first [[Blue Pikmin]] is discovered. As with the other Pikmin types, this arrangement of the track features an instrument that is characteristic of Blue Pikmin and the water they inhabit. This instrument is a synthesizer with a low-pass filter and vibrato; the vibrato invokes a sort of gargling or bubbling, while the filtering of higher frequencies mimics the effect that water has on submerged sound.
Heard when the first [[Ice Pikmin]] is discovered. This arrangement of the ''Pikmin 2'' motif is played in a high-register on synth bells, indicating the frosty nature of the Ice Pikmin.

This bed contains echoing textures of dissonant marimba, percussive underpinnings from a gong and bell, and most importantly, atonal drones from a double bass {{w|Double bass#C extension|with extension}}.

Heard when the first [[Glow Pikmin]] is discovered during a [[night expedition]]. This variant of the Pikmin discovery theme takes an uneasy turn due to the unique circumstances it takes place in, and is scored on a theremin to play upon this Glow Pikmin's ghostly appearance. Despite this, a glockenspiel reassures the player that this species of Pikmin is still a friendly one. Similar to the other discovery themes, a loop immediately follows, but with the glockenspiel taking the place of the recorder this time.
Heard when the first [[Blue Pikmin]] is discovered.

A boss battle theme that plays in boss fights against the largest bosses.
This theme can be heard when battling the [[Groovy Long Legs]] at the last sublevel of [[Below-Grade Discotheque]]. It is played by techno noises and an air-horn. It also plays a "boss defeated" cue when the enemy is defeated. There are several additional layers that can be added on top in various conditions. Uniquely, it is the only boss theme that plays when engaging a boss in the Piklopedia, lending credence to the theory that it is being played by the Groovy Long Legs itself.  
 
When the [[Waterwraith]] appears on the Engulfed Castle's final sublevel, the normal boss theme plays as long as the Waterwraith has its rollers; the special attack cue chimes in whenever the Waterwraith shakes Pikmin off. But when the rollers are defeated, the music suddenly shifts to an abstract theme with crotales signaling that the threat of this boss has been nullified. Further attacking the Waterwraith will add various Latin percussion instruments to the music.

A remixed version of the theme in ''Pikmin 2''. Heard when the Waterwraith first appears in the story mode of ''Pikmin 4'', played in the background of an introductory cutscene. Like ''Pikmin 2'', the cutscene begins with the normal ''Pikmin 2'' boss battle intro, but then lapses into a looping music bed as Collin warns of the Waterwraith's threat. This bed contains echoing textures of dissonant marimba, percussive underpinnings from a gong and bell, and most importantly, atonal drones from a double bass {{w|Double bass#C extension|with extension}}. The combined effect sounds quite alien, like the mood set by the Waterwraith.

== Enemy mixes ==
{{game help|p4|Document all the enemy mixes.}}
Whenever the player is near an enemy in the main story, that enemy will add a new layer of instruments to the music. However, there is not one singular enemy mix per song; rather, there is a unique enemy mix tied to every single type of enemy in the game. The instruments that are added are often characteristic of the creature they are associated with, and some few enemies may also have several different enemy mixes, depending on the enemy's current state.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When there are no more days remaining in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], the main area themes speed up and their respective sunset themes are slowed down.
*The Pikmin in the group may randomly sing either a long theme without a distinguishing melody, or a short theme with a distinguishable melody. Among the short themes with melody, the Pikmin can sing themes from areas from past games. So far, the Pikmin have been spotted singing the [[Awakening Wood]], [[Perplexing Pool]], and [[Waterwraith]] battle themes from {{P2}} and the [[Garden of Hope]] theme from {{P3}}, plus a theme with a melody that doesn't seem to align with any previous area theme. In overworld areas, Pikmin can seemingly sing a short tune while there are uncollected treasures in the area, though it is unknown if they can sing long tunes. Inside of caves, Pikmin seemingly can only sing long tunes if there is still uncollected treasure in the current sublevel, and then only sing short tunes after all of the treasure has been collected from the sublevel. It is yet unknown how many Pikmin are required to be in the group for them to sing something.
