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.

Plays in the [[final results menu]] for [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. This theme is mostly identical to [[Music in Pikmin#Voyage Complete|''Voyage Complete'']] from {{p1}}, but with added instruments.

Plays when discovering Pikmin for the first time in the prologue.
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 version of the discovery theme 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 a instrument that is characteristic of the Pikmin it is associated with. Red Pikmin, for example, use a synthesizer for their theme.

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.

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}}.

A boss battle theme often used for bosses found aboveground. This song is organized as a drumline cadence, with the base theme being played exclusively on percussion instruments found in a marching band. When the boss is defeated, a "boss defeated" cue plays.
So far, this theme has only been heard when battling the [[Tusked Blowhog]] at the last sublevel of [[Hectic Hollows]]. It is played by several bongos and deep-sounding drum instruments. It also plays a "boss defeated" cue when the enemy is defeated. It is unknown if this track is featured anywhere else in the game.
 
For every type of boss, a unique layer of pitched instruments that is characteristic of the creature will be added to the music:

Heard when the Waterwraith first appears in the story mode of ''Pikmin 4'', 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}}.

{{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.

*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.
*When Pikmin are riding on [[Oatchi]], they may sing a short song. These songs include the brief passages from the [[Awakening Wood]], the [[Garden of Hope]], the [[Waterwraith]] attack's theme, the [[Dandori Battle]] theme, the same humming from ''Pikmin 2'', or a new unique song.
