This theme plays when there isn't another theme to play, which includes the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Main menu|main menu]] and the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map screen]]. The theme is very sparse, consisting of 4 chords that play for 15 seconds each. Each chord is made up of a mix of high notes on sustained piano, xylophone, and pad synthesizer, playing at random-sounding times, before the chord is left to fade until the next one. Some note sequences are similar to main [[Music in Pikmin 2#Leitmotifs|''Pikmin'' motif]]. The calm and open style of this theme sets an effective backdrop to the peaceful nature of the map and the game as a whole.

This theme replaces the main theme when [[flower planting]] is activated, and also overrides other music tracks. Its incredibly joyful nature matches the joy of the player's [[Mii]] while planting flowers, and it does this through a high-pitched ensemble of piano, mallet percussion, woodwinds, and harp, playing simple melodies over mostly major chords, in an overall rather varied piece of music.

}}
This theme plays in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Lifelog group|group of menu screens]] that the [[Lifelog]] is included in. A guitar and a raindrop synthesizer play a short and sustained melody over each chord, with the large space between these melodies filled by the slow swells of a pad synthesizer. The resulting theme is calm and reflective.

}}
This theme plays during a [[Daily Lookback]]. It is a remixed version of the [[Music in Hey! Pikmin#Results|area results theme]] from {{hp}}. On top of a steady beat and a base layer of rising and falling arpeggios, various layers are added and removed on top, including a groovy bassline and a high-pitched synth melody.

}}
This theme plays when viewing information about [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badges]]. It is exactly the same as the [[Music in Hey! Pikmin#Sweltering Parchlands area selection|Sweltering Parchlands area selection theme]] from {{hp}}. This theme has a celebratory melody to congratulate the player on the achievements they've made, but it is undermined by a mellow set of tone colors, reminding the player that is always more to do.

}}
This theme plays in the [[shop]]. It has a very ambiguous sense of time, with percussive patterns of different lengths playing together to create a complex texture, and it is not clear where the downbeat is. The harmony in contrast is very simple and major, moving between F and B-flat chords.

|header = y
}}
This theme plays in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|Garden screen]] where [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be fed [[nectar]]. Its main melody is based on the main ''Pikmin'' motif, played on a percussive cowbell-like instrument. It sits on top of a layer of light drums, and during parts of the loop, a simple bassline and piano part add some simple harmony.

This theme plays when viewing the [[Planter Pack]]. A groovy electronic bassline plays throughout the piece, providing a strong layer that various electronic ostinatos and percussion layers can play on top. The melody is formed incidentally by the interactions of the other parts.
