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.

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 – the icon that would do this still exists in the radar in this game, but is not a button that can be pressed. | 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|-}}/{{button|switch|+}} is instead set to pause the game).

The North American | The GameCube North American 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 GameCube European version only lists the five main Pikmin types. The US version of ''New Play Control!'' remake'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. | ||
