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.
