In Pikmin, the radar is accessed from a separate menu from the pause menu, called "Olimar's monitor"[1], and it can be opened by pressing the Y Button on the GameCube controller / the Plus Button on the Wii Remote / the + Button on the Switch mid-game. This menu contains the actual radar on the right side, with instructions on how to pan and zoom on the top-right corner. On the top-left corner of the screen, there is the name of the current area. Below that, the number of Pikmin in the squad and in the Onions appears, for each type. Below those, the number of total idle Pikmin in the field. Finally, in the bottom-right corner, the number of collected ship parts is written.

By pressing the R Button on the GameCube controller / the + Control Pad right on the Wii Remote / the Right Directional Button on the Switch (dual Joy-Con), the player will be taken to a different page, explaining the controls. This one contains an illustration of a GameCube Controller, a Wii Remote with a Nunchuk attached, or two Joy-Cons attached to a Joy-Con Grip. Boxes scattered around the screen explain what each button and stick does. The buttons and sticks on the illustration flash in order, with each one flashing three times in the GameCube and Wii versions.
