During gameplay, it is possible to open a '''pause menu'''. When this [[menu]] is opened, the gameplay is halted, making this the primary way of pausing the game. It varies significantly between games.
During gameplay, it is possible to open a '''pause menu'''. When this menu is opened, the gameplay is halted, making this the primary way of pausing the game. The contents of the pause menu vary significantly between games and game modes, but in general, they contain options to return to another [[menu]] screen or to change basic settings.

This menu is opened with {{button|gc|start|wii|+}} ({{button|wii|-}} in ''New Play Control! Pikmin''), and it is simple, with only three options. The first is titled "Continue" and resumes the gameplay. The second option, called "Go to Sunset", opens a sub-menu, asking "Go to Sunset?", and the options "Yes" and "No". By selecting "Yes", the day automatically ends and the [[Day#Sunset|sunset]] cutscenes begin. By picking "No", the player is taken back to the main pause menu. The sunset option is grayed out during [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]]. The third option is called "Continue from Last Save" ("Continue from previous save" in ''New Play Control! Pikmin''), and when picked, a sub-menu opens, asking if the player is sure. By picking "Yes", the player is taken to the [[saved game selection menu]]. Picking "No" returns to the main pause menu. This third option is called "Quit Challenge Mode" while in Challenge Mode, and by choosing "Yes" to the question, the game returns to the [[Challenge Mode menu]].

In {{p1}}, the pause menu is opened with {{button|gc|start|wii|-|switch|-}}, and it is simple, with only three options. The first is titled "Continue" and resumes the gameplay. The second option, called "Go to Sunset", opens a sub-menu, asking "Go to Sunset?", and the options "Yes" and "No".

In this menu, the pause button also picks an option. Care should be taken not to accidentally pick an option while attempting to unpause the game.

The ''Pikmin 2'' pause menu is more complex, containing the [[radar]] and a lot of other information, as well as a menu similar to the one in ''Pikmin''. This menu is separated into three pages, which can be changed by pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl}} and {{button|gc|r|wii|padr}}.

This menu is separated into three pages, which can be changed by pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl|switch|padl}} and {{button|gc|r|wii|padr|switch|padr}}.


The "[[Radar]]" page contains the radar on the right side, with the name of the [[area]] or [[cave]] on top of it. To the left is the number of Pikmin on the Onions, on the [[Hocotate ship|ship]], following the current leader, and idle. These numbers, besides the idle one, are listed for each Pikmin type.

If playing in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] or [[2-Player Battle]] mode, the entire menu is replaced with a simple message box, akin to the one in ''Pikmin''. This contains the option "Continue" and the option "Give Up"/"Quit" (Challenge Mode or 2-Player Battle, respectively). The former unpauses the game, and the latter returns to the respective game mode's main menu, without asking for a confirmation. In Challenge Mode, however, a brief cutscene plays showing the Research Pod beaming the leaders and flying away.

The pause menus are significantly changed in {{p3d}} from what they were in ''Pikmin 3'', containing many more options.

The pause menus are significantly changed in {{p3d}} from what they were in ''Pikmin 3'', containing many more options. The stylus mode icon has been removed. The options visible depend on where the pause menu is being viewed from, as a button can be used to bring up the menu on nearly every screen in the game. This button is the {{button|switch|+}} button in most cases, but in 2-player mode when each player is using a single Joy-Con, player 2 can press the {{button|switch|+}} or {{button|switch|-}} button to pause, depending on which is available, and player 1 cannot pause the game. There is often a prompt in the bottom-right corner of other menus labeled "Options", and the menu is called the "Options menu" in-game. A list of all the possible buttons is shown below.

====Basic Information====
The Basic Information menu contains lots of information about the game and how to play it. It contains 6 categories: "Pikmin Types", "Story", "Mission", "Side Story", "Bingo Battle", and "Options". The left side of the screen is a list while the right side contains an image and some text about the topic selected. The list can be navigated with {{button|switch|lstick}}, and selecting a category with {{button|switch|a}} will show a list of pages within that category, in a different graphical style to distinguish them from the category buttons.

{{game help|hp|Sounds like the pause/unpause sound might be different depending on whether you're in a regular area or a Secret Spot. Confirm, check Sparklium Springs too, and if the sounds are different, document that here.}}
In {{hp}}, pressing {{button|3ds|start}} or {{button|3ds|select}} during an area will bring up a pause menu with 4 options. The first is "Continue Expedition", and resumes gameplay, doing the same thing as pressing {{button|3ds|start}} or {{button|3ds|select}} again. The second is "Restart Area", which starts the [[area]] from the beginning. The third is "Return to Area Select", which returns to the [[area selection menu]]. The fourth is "Call for Pikmin" and has the [[amiibo]] logo on it. Selecting it brings up instructions for scanning an amiibo, and says that scanning the Olimar or Pikmin amiibo will call additional Pikmin into the area.
 
==Trivia==
[[File:P2 pause menu broken Pikmin icons.jpg|thumb|Close-up of the Pikmin icons.]]
* The Pikmin icons shown following Olimar in ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} "leader" box are composed of two rectangles instead of one. Each rectangle uses the same texture that represents half of a Pikmin with no pupils, except the second rectangle mirrors the texture. These two rectangles aren't correctly aligned, and the second one is much darker than the first. These details are impossible to see normally, and require emulators with free camera in order to zoom in.
*In the North American instruction manual of the [[GameCube]] version of ''Pikmin'', the "Go to Sunset" option in the pause menu is instead labeled as "Wait until night".
* When navigating the menus of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' that have page selection buttons on the left, and page contents on the right, tilting the stick up and down to select buttons on the list will cause the controller to rumble. However, for unknown reasons, the rumble may sometimes not happen.
