[[File:Bloomloading.jpg|thumb|200px|Loading screen that appears upon startup in {{pb}}, in version 33.1.]]

When {{pb}} is opened, a loading screen will appear. The background artwork has changed between versions of the app, but always contains [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] carrying [[seedling]]s and/or [[fruit]]. A bar across the bottom will fill up with green and dark green stripes, and will advance to the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Main menu|main menu]] when full. Above the bar there is a reminder for the player to be alert and aware of their surroundings. [[Update]] 41.0 added loading screen tips about the game that appear a few seconds after the safety reminder, changing every few seconds. Tapping the screen will also change the tip.

==Tip==

Tips for the [[2-Player Battle]] mode in ''Pikmin 2''.

While technically, it is true that there can be up to four roulette wheel ''spins'' in queue, this can lead to players believing they can only have four ''powers'' in queue, when they can actually have five (the four queued spins plus the current power on standby).
