Olimar's '''voyage log''' (called '''ship log''' in the | Olimar's '''voyage log''' (called '''ship log''' in the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin|New Play Control!]]'' version) is what [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] writes in about his adventure, at the end of each [[day]], in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]. The player can read the page before the [[Menu#Sunset|end of the day screen]]. The entries can also be accessed at a later time by pressing {{button|gcn|Y|wii|+}} on the [[Menu#Area selection|area select screen]]. | ||
There are 71 messages in all, with a few of them categorized as [[unused content in Pikmin|unused content]]. In-game, the log chosen depends on the activities that happened that day. For example, if Olimar discovered a new mechanic about the Pikmin, he'll write about that, and if not, he might write about any new enemy he found that day. If there is nothing of interest to write about, Olimar will write a miscellaneous journal entry, reminiscing about life on his [[Hocotate|home planet]] and about his chances of survival. | There are 71 messages in all, with a few of them categorized as [[unused content in Pikmin|unused content]].

Below are transcriptions of all the entries. Underscores ("_") represent a variable number, like the current number of recovered [[ship parts]].

Unless otherwise mentioned, these entries are for the [[GameCube]] version and have been kept the same for the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' re-release. | |||
