The first [[day]] of each game's Story Mode is a bit special in that it serves as a tutorial of sorts. Because of this, some of the game's rules are changed for this day only:
The first [[day]] of each game's Story Mode is a bit special in that it serves as a tutorial of sorts. Because of this, some of the game's rules are changed for this day only:
* Time does not pass, and there is no Sun Meter. The day only ends when a certain task is completed. Additionally, [[#Daylight|Daylight]] will always remain the same, and in ''Pikmin 3'', the [[Day#Weather|weather]] will always be sunny. In {{p1}}, the first day ends when the player recovers the [[Main Engine]]. In {{p2}}, the first day ends when the player collects the [[Courage Reactor]]. In {{p3}}, the first day ends when the player reaches the [[S.S. Drake]]. In {{p4}}, the first day ends when the player collects 300 [[Sparklium]] from the [[Noble Bident]], [[Path Creator]], and [[Stone of Advancement]].

In ''Pikmin 4'', the first day ends when the player collects 300 [[Sparklium]] from the [[Noble Bident]], [[Path Creator]], and [[Stone of Advancement]].
* There is no normal way to kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or reach an [[extinction]]. Some exploits [[Pikmin extinction#Extinctions on day 1|can make it happen]], though.

* There are only harmless enemies present. Although there is a [[Dwarf Bulborb]] in ''Pikmin 2'', the game does not allow eating attacks to harm leaders or Pikmin on this day. In ''Pikmin 4'', there are 3 [[Bulborb Larva]]e in the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] which can attack the leader or [[Oatchi]], but deal no damage.
* There are only harmless enemies present. Although there is a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in ''Pikmin 2'', it specifically cannot eat Pikmin or bite leaders. In ''Pikmin 4'' there are 3 [[Bulborb Larva]]e in the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] which can attack the leader or [[Oatchi]], but deal no damage.
* The player may be prohibited from doing certain actions, like [[Whistle|whistling]] or [[dismiss]]ing until the game gives instructions on how that can be done.

* Unimportant or extra mechanics, like [[Lie down|lying down]] in ''Pikmin'' or [[maturity]] changes in '''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' may be disabled all throughout the day.

* [[#Daylight|Daylight]] will remain the same for the whole day. Additionally, the first day will always be [[#Weather|sunny]] in ''Pikmin 3''.
* All Pikmin will be considered safe when the day ends, regardless if they meet the safety conditions or not.{{source needed}}

* Most of the enemies or flora that appear in the area don't spawn, and some only appear on the first day.
* Most of the enemies or flora that appear in the area don't spawn, and some don't appear after the first day.
* Special music plays instead of the area's regular music. In ''Pikmin 2'', before defeating the Dwarf Bulborb and re-establishing communications with Louie, No music plays. After re-establishing communications but before reuniting Olmiar and Louie, a special non-dynamic version of the Valley of Repose's sunset music plays. When reuniting the two [[leader]]s the area's music plays like normal. In ''Pikmin 3'', while no area music plays in [[Charlie]]'s part of the first day, Alph's part contains a [[Music in Pikmin 3#Alph's Crash Site|wholly unique theme]] that replaces the area music for this day, only not appearing in the area's cave and before freeing the Red [[Onion]].


In addition, in ''Pikmin 3'', the player can go back to any previous day, and going back to day 1 effectively resets the story: some otherwise permanent information, like all charted locations of an area on the [[radar]], and the code used for the [[Secret File]]s, are reset when the player goes to day 1, finishes it, and saves the game.
