{{for|the radar in Pikmin Bloom|Detector}}
The '''radar''' ({{j|レーダー|Rēdā}}, lit.: "Radar") is a mechanic present in all {{pg}}. It allows the player to view an [[area]]'s layout, as well as the location of various important objects, such as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the [[Onion]](s), and [[:Category:Collectibles|collectible objects]]. In {{p1}}, the radar is unlocked by collecting the [[Whimsical Radar]]. In {{p2}}, it is available from the start. In {{p3}}, it is unlocked when the [[KopPad]] is found. In {{p4}}, it is unlocked as soon as the player obtains their tablet from [[Collin]].

The [[controls]] needed to access the radar, pan it and zoom it vary from game to game:

In the first two games and their re-releases, the screen that contains the radar also enumerates how many Pikmin are with the current leader, of each type, how many Pikmin there are in the Onions, of each type, and how many Pikmin are roaming through the area, of all types. In addition, the screen also shows the total number of ship parts obtained, in ''Pikmin''.

The radar is disabled during [[Challenge Mode (disambiguation)|Challenge Mode]], but not [[Mission Mode]]. It is completely disabled in any 2-player game mode, except in {{p3d}} and the [[Co-op Mode|Pebble Pitcher]].

== Functionality ==
=== In ''Pikmin'' ===
In ''Pikmin'', the radar is found in [[Olimar's monitor]], once the [[Whimsical Radar]] [[ship part]] is collected. It is on the right-hand side of the screen, and shows an outlined map of the current area. White stars on the map are the locations of ship parts. The map shows colored dots for Pikmin locations; red dots are Red Pikmin, yellow dots are Yellow Pikmin, blue ones are Blue Pikmin, and green dots are Pikmin that are buried in the ground. It also shows Pikmin statistics on the left.

=== In ''Pikmin 2'' ===
In ''Pikmin 2'', the radar is what the [[pause menu]] opens to by default. It works the same as in ''Pikmin'', except it does not outline locations of treasures, and it is available from the very beginning of the game.

=== In ''Pikmin 3'' ===
The radar is the default app on the [[KopPad]], and if [[Off-TV Play]] is off, the map will follow the current leader as they move.

Touching the GamePad in this state will pause gameplay, if it is not already paused. With Off-TV Play disabled, the [[camera]] on the TV screen will also move upwards and point down in a birds-eye view. The player can drag their finger or stylus on the touchscreen in order to pan around; the TV screen camera will also pan accordingly. Effectively, this feature allows the player to view all around the area from a birds-eye view, either with the stylized KopPad map, or from the actual in-game camera.

The map is not fully rendered from the get-go. A {{w|Fog of war#Simulations and games|fog of war}} effect makes it so that the map only renders places visited by the leaders. The TV screen's camera will not show unexplored sections. Once a zone of the map is rendered, it stays that way forever, even if the player returns to a previous day after saving; this can be reset by restarting from day 1. Uncharted areas merely show the background of the KopPad &ndash; a blue and cyan grid. This method of charting is not divided in cells or predefined zones, but is rather quite smooth, with nearly each pixel of the map having an individual "charted" or "uncharted" state. The map is automatically charted as the gameplay takes place, and approximately one camera-width of content can be revealed from any one position.

Two buttons exist on the top left and top right corners of the map app. The icon on the top-left allows the player to toggle the map orientation between always having the north point up (an "N" icon with a triangle pointing upwards), or the same orientation as the camera (a compass icon). Changing this will also change the TV screen's overhead camera. The button on the top-right shows [[Alph]]'s silhouette, and is used to toggle the gameplay pause. If the icon is stopped, the gameplay is paused, but if the icon shows a walking animation, the gameplay continues taking place while the player is examining the map. In this mode, all of the map app's functionalities continue to work as normal, but switching apps will forcefully pause the gameplay. It should be noted that the top-right button does not work with Off-TV Play enabled.

When [[Day#Sunset|sunset]] is approaching, the top of the map app will periodically switch between the message "Pikmin in Danger", and the current amount of Pikmin of each type that will be left behind during the sunset, unless they're gathered in time.

If Off-TV Play is on and the player has the screen showing the KopPad, attempting to disable Off-TV Play with {{button|wiiu|-}} will merely show a message saying that it is impossible to switch. Several bits of decorative [[Koppaite text]] can also be found next to icons and buttons.

In [[Bingo Battle]], the radar cannot be controlled and shows the entire stage at once. It is also limited to the GamePad, giving the player controlling the GamePad a slight advantage.

=== In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' ===
The radar in {{p3d}} must be opened up with {{button|switch|-}}, or {{button|switch|+}} if P1 is using a solo right joycon (and cannot be opened by P2 using a solo joycon regardless of which joycon they are using; their {{button|switch|-|switch|+}} is instead set to pause the game). Since there is no GamePad like in ''Pikmin 3'', the player cannot follow the radar as they play on a different screen, and opening the radar pauses gameplay. Likewise, it is not possible to unpause gameplay while keeping the radar's functionalities open &ndash; the icon that would do this still exists in the radar in this game, but is not a button that can be pressed.

The full map of the area is available right from the start, but like in ''Pikmin 3'', there is a {{w|Fog of war#Simulations and games|fog of war}} effect, and it works in the same way, The only difference being that unvisited portions are simply more transparent, but still visible.

Like in ''Pikmin 3'', entering the sunset stage will make the top toggle between the message "Pikmin in Danger" and an overview of how many Pikmin there are in danger of being left behind. When outside of the sunset stage, that portion will instead present the current [[Story Mode]] objective.

[[Enemy]] locations are visible in explored parts of the area.

In [[Bingo Battle]], each player can open the radar on their side of the screen. This radar does not pause gameplay, cannot be controlled and shows the whole stage at once. Although it is not normally possible to move while the radar is up, the player can control their leader if they are [[throw|holding]] a Pikmin.

=== In ''Pikmin 4'' ===
In {{p4}}, the radar is accessed from the [[Tablet]], via the Radar Map application. The radar's design features blue colours, the shade of which changes based on elevation, with a thick navy border surrounding the edge of the area. Bases are indicated by pairs of magenta circles. After purchasing the [[Survey Drone]] from the lab, it is possible to drop up to three pins in red, yellow, or blue by pressing {{button|switch|y|switch|facel}}. It is also possible to make the player face a certain direction by moving the cursor and pressing {{button|switch|zl|switch|sl}}.

=== In ''Hey! Pikmin'' ===
[[File:Hey! Pikmin radar.jpg|thumb|The radar opened in [[Peculiar Rockfall]].]]
In {{hp}}, the Radar Map is not present at the beginning of the game but is rewarded to the player once 2,000 [[Sparklium]] has been collected. The Radar Map can be toggled by pressing {{button|3ds|l}}/{{button|3ds|r}}. [[Boss]] areas and [[Over Wintry Mountains]] do not allow the use of the Radar Map.

Initially, the Radar Map only shows the explored parts of the current [[area]], with parts further away from Olimar covered by a darker color. Once that area is completed (regardless of whether the player got all [[treasure]]s), its entire map is revealed for subsequent times the player enters the area.

Here are the icons used in the Radar Map:
{| class="wikitable"
!Object
!Appearance
|-
| Olimar || Big white dot
|-
| Pikmin || Smaller light red/blue/yellow dots, clearer against darker background
|-
| Obstacles || Light blue, even afterwards as background
|-
| Moved obstacles/built bridges || Dark blue
|-
| [[Doorway]]s || Gray-black holes
|-
| Treasures || Glimmering
|}
{{todo|Get images of these symbols and add them to the main legend table.}}

== Appearance ==
In the first two games, the radar shows a monochromatic representation of the [[area]]'s terrain, only really highlighting the walls, water, and the locations of gates. Some icons point out the location of [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, [[Onion]]s, and a few other things. While the first two games use the same radar presentations, they have differing art-styles for their radar textures: ''Pikmin''{{'s}} area maps are depicted with a smooth style and a blurry fadeout for the edges of the map, while ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} area maps are drawn in a non-smooth style more similar to pixel art, with a more matte fadeout for the edges of the map.

In ''Pikmin 3'', it provides a map of the area, stylized so that water, terrain, structures, and boundary walls are high-contrast and easy to distinguish, but textured to be similar to the actual terrain. There are several icons for all sorts of important objects. As ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' has slightly different area textures than ''Pikmin 3'', the radar textures are also changed in the ''Deluxe'' version.

In ''Hey! Pikmin'', the radar is monochromatic, with terrain represented by dark colors and in-bounds areas represented by light colors. The front side of areas uses a blue color scheme and the back side uses a purple color scheme.

== Go Here ==
In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', players have the ability to tell leaders and [[Oatchi]] or [[Moss]] (and their squad of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]) to go to a specific spot on the map automatically, so that they may do something else with a different leader. In order to use the Go Here functionality, the player must first collect the [[data file]] located on the other side of the [[crystal wall]] at the [[Garden of Hope]]'s landing site in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', free Brittany in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', or reach Command level 2 in ''Pikmin 4''.

=== Choosing a destination ===
With the gameplay paused and the radar open, a [[File:GoHerePyramid.png|16px]] (in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'') or a crosshair (in ''Pikmin 4'') appears on the center of the map. When the map is panned, the cursor stays on the center, and hence, follows the panning. As the shape moves, a set of arrows originating from the current leader mark a trail from the leader's icon on the map to the spot the pointer is at. After a small delay, a prompt with the leader's icon and the words "Go Here" will appear near the cursor. Selecting this button by tapping (in ''Pikmin 3'') or pressing {{button|wiiu|a}}/{{button|switch|a}} will make the leader take the path shown towards the target location. In the case of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' and ''Pikmin 4'', {{button|switch|a}} can be pressed before this prompt appears. There are scenarios in which it is not possible to use the Go Here command, as detailed below.

=== Path algorithm ===
The planned path is always the shortest one required in order to reach the destination. This path-finding system also takes into account insurmountable [[obstacles]] and water, disallowing the travel if the player tries to enter a body of water with non-[[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] or non-[[Winged Pikmin]] in their party (unless [[Oatchi]] or [[Moss]] is in the squad and is able to swim). [[Hazard]]s and [[Enemy|enemies]] are ignored when deciding the path.

If the cursor is placed in an invalid or out of bounds area, then Go Here will not be able to be selected for use. If the path to a certain location is blocked off by an uncleared obstacle or another feature that can't be overcome, the shown path will trace to the point of the obstacle. In this scenario in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the cursor will turn pink and the early termination of the path will be represented by a pink &#x274c; sign, and the rest of the path with pink arrows. In ''Pikmin 4'', the path beyond the obstacle will turn red, and the termination point will be represented by a red &#x1f6ab; sign.

To note is that the Go Here feature will not work while the leader is [[pluck]]ing, [[dodging]], [[spray]]ing, in pain from being hurt, lying down on the ground (for instance, from getting [[electricity|zapped]]), captured by an [[enemy]], on top of a [[lily pad]], and strangely, on the first two ledges in the Tropical Wilds where the [[Armored Cannon Larva]] is.

=== Leader movement ===
{{game help|p3|Does having other leaders in the squad also reduce the speed cap to its minimum in the Wii U version?}}
If the leader reaches their destination successfully, a dialog will appear on-screen with a message stating that they reached their destination. If an obstacle blocked their way or the path was otherwise obstructed, a message indicating this will appear instead. If the leader is [[Health|damaged]] during their walk, they will cancel their task altogether.

The player can use leaders under the Go Here function, but most action inputs will not work, and the leaders will continue moving by themselves. The exception is the [[whistle]] button, which will make the current leader stop in their place and cancel the Go Here walk, and, in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', the ability to use the KopPad, most notably, the [[#Camera|camera]] feature. A small bubble appears near the leader's head notifying the player that it is possible to cancel.

Leaders under the Go Here function move at a speed slower than manual running, and the exact speed depends on what Pikmin are on their group. In order to make sure no Pikmin lags behind, the leaders walk at the same pace as the slowest Pikmin in the group (given that [[Maturity|leaf]] Pikmin are slower than other maturities, and that [[Purple Pikmin]] are slower than other Pikmin types). However, they have a maximum speed cap that stops them from going faster than what a player-controlled leader would run. Additionally, in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', having other leaders in the squad reduces the speed cap to the same as if there were leaf Pikmin in the squad. 

Leaders become [[Idle#Leaders|idle]] upon reaching their destination, which also means that if there are buried Pikmin close by the destination, they will automatically begin [[pluck]]ing. If they were not able to reach their destination, they will become idle in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', or will walk in a circle indefinitely until the path is cleared in ''Pikmin 4''.

== Replay ==
{{stub|section=y}}
While in the [[day results menu]] and [[mission results menu]] in ''Pikmin 3'', the radar is used to provide a replay for the past day or mission. In {{p3}} for Wii U, the replay is always on the GamePad. The player can use the touchscreen to move the seek bar. In {{p3d}}, the replay menu is opened by pressing {{button|switch|-}}, and the seek bar is moved with {{button|switch|rstick}}.

== Mini radar ==
[[File: P3DX Prerelease Garden of Hope Dirt.jpg|thumb|250px|A gameplay scene with the minimap visible.]]
In {{p3d}}, there is a small version of the radar visible during gameplay, in the form of a circular minimap in the lower right corner of the screen. The map in this view is quite different from the standard view, being much more in the style of {{p1}} and {{p2}}. Terrain is shown in dark blue, [[water]] is shown in light blue, and [[out of bounds]] terrain is shown in black. Walls are shown as light blue lines. [[Fruit]], [[leader]]s, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], [[obstacle]]s, the [[S.S. Drake]], and the current signal (if there is one) are shown as icons on the map, or around the edge if they are outside the range of the mini radar. Unlike the standard radar in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', unexplored portions do not show up, and the player sees the blue background grid instead.

This mini radar only exists in [[Story Mode]]. When playing with two players, each player's screen gets its own radar. The mini radar can be zoomed in and out slightly, between two levels of zoom, by tilting {{button|switch|rstick}} up or down.

== Legend ==
{{game help|p3d}}
The radar can show the following icons:

Besides those, the radar also illustrates the following:
*[[Water]], with stripes that alternate between dark and light, in the first two games, or blue color in ''Pikmin 3''.
*[[Obstacles]], in ''Pikmin 3'', with an icon for each. Some of these icons have more than one version that signify how much more of the obstacle is left to clear.
*The leaders' footsteps in the past few seconds, in ''Pikmin 3''.

In ''Pikmin 3'', multi-part fruits also have different icons, and grapes have icons that represent different levels of individual grape collection. Upon collecting 10 different types of fruit, the Fruit Finder will be unlocked. Fruits will be then shown on the KopPad whether the area has been discovered yet or not.

== Map textures ==
These are the textures used by the games to represent the areas on the radar.

For the first two games, these are the raw textures, without any tinting or resizing applied. They do have some empty space for in-game icon alignment purposes, but the following images have that space cropped for convenience. In all textures up corresponds to the North, except for The Final Trial one, in which the opposite is true.

For ''Pikmin 3'', each [[segment]] has its own texture, and in the following images, the textures were aligned by hand, and when justified, cropped (with a fade-in effect).

For ''Pikmin 4'', the base terrain is one texture, while every body of water or mud has its own texture placed on top of the base terrain in the right location. In the following images, the water bodies have been manually placed.

== Oddities ==
=== ''Pikmin 2'' manual ===
{{todo|Get info for the Japanese instruction manuals.}}
The instruction manuals for ''Pikmin 2'' and ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2'' have a section explaining how the radar works, and in most versions, a legend of its symbols. The legend for the dots that represent the Pikmin is different between the different manuals, and all of them have some quirks to point out.

The North American GameCube version lists the five main Pikmin colors but bizarrely, a sixth color as well: a soft pink color. It is unknown what this color is meant to represent. The European GameCube version of the manual only lists the five main Pikmin types. The North American ''New Play Control!'' version's instruction manual doesn't have a legend, and only has a shorter overview of how the radar works. It does however have a list of the radar dot colors some pages ahead, in the section describing the differences between Pikmin types. Finally, the European ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2'' manual brings back the legend of symbols, and includes an explanation of the dark green color used to represent buried Pikmin sprouts.

All instruction manuals use a very dark purple for the Purple Pikmin, which is different from the light magenta seen in-game.

=== ''Pikmin 3'' radar ===
The radar in ''Pikmin 3'' has a number of peculiarities and [[mistake]]s to it.

With [[Off-TV Play]] disabled, if the map app's orientation is set to be the same as the camera's angle, there is a desynchronization between the angle shown on the KopPad and the TV screen's angle, on certain places. This can make it quite difficult to pan while looking at the TV screen. The following locations are affected, and the angles provided here are estimates:
* The cave with the [[Velvety Dreamdrop]] in the [[Tropical Wilds]] has a 45&deg; difference.
* The [[Calcified Crushblat]]'s arena has a 100&deg; difference.
* Charlie's crash site in the [[Distant Tundra]] has a 90&deg; difference.
* The wooden bridge leading to the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] arena has a 15&deg; difference.
* The first segment of the Vehemoth Phosbat's arena has a 100&deg; difference.
* The actual arena itself has a 45&deg; difference.
* The [[Shaggy Long Legs]]' arena on the Distant Tundra has a 15&deg; difference.
* The top of the [[Formidable Oak]], on the outside, has a 45&deg; difference.
* Inside the Formidable Oak, the corridor area has a 45&deg; difference, and the first main segment after has a 90&deg; difference; the second main segment with the lights is unaffected.

Other oddities exist with the TV screen:
* By sliding the map on top of the [[Scornet Maestro]]'s arena, toggling between the arena and the pathway leading up to it, and looking at the TV screen, one can notice that the "railing" on the pathway is considerably more simplistic and less detailed if the camera is focusing on the arena &ndash; notably, it's lacking the red leaves.
* If the player has a [[saved game]] that includes a day after the Scornet Maestro has been defeated, and then returns to a day where they have not yet visited the arena, the camera will reveal the boss [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#T-pose Scornet Maestro|high up in the center of the arena]], in a T-pose. This is because the model is being used as a placeholder for the cutscene that triggers once the player goes to the top of the tree.
* In a day after the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]'s defeat, if the player starts the day and pans the radar to the boss's corpse, they might be able to see [[Pellet#Other colors|pellets of other colors]] on the TV screen.
