Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)

This article is about the in-game encyclopedia of enemies in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It is not to be confused with Pikipedia, the name of this Wiki.

For the Piklopedia in Pikmin 2, see Piklopedia (Pikmin 2).

The Piklopedia is a feature in the Pikmin 3 Deluxe release of Pikmin 3. It is an in-game collection of all of the enemies that the player has beaten so far. There is one entry per enemy, and inside each entry, the player can find a short video of the creature in action, comments by the each of the leaders, a listing of its habitat (i.e. the areas where the player is most likely to find it), and a counter of how many of this creature have been killed in this saved game slot of Story Mode. To open the Piklopedia, the player must open the KopPad in Story Mode, and then choose the Piklopedia's app. The Piklopedia is not available from the start of the game, and neither are the entries or the comments. For details on how all of these are unlocked, see below.

Comments

Alph, Brittany, Captain Charlie, Louie, and Captain Olimar all have something to say about each entry.

• Alph's comments are based on his views as an engineer, and focus on the creature's design, strengths, and weaknesses. He starts his comments by listing a "design flaw" in the creature, which refers to a weakness that the player can use for their advantage when fighting against it. Next, he lists the corpse's weight, or "unknown" if not applicable. Finally, he gives his thoughts about how the creature functions, again, in a design-oriented way.
• Brittany's comments are usually about the creature's appearance or habits, and how she can compare them with her, or how she could learn from them. Occasionally, she'll go into detail about the more floral aspects of the creatures, given she's a botanist.
• Charlie's comments are normally about combating the creature. He gives tips on how to attack, or just quips about the enemy's combat strengths and flaws.
• Louie's notes are about how to best cook the creature in order to savor it.
• Olimar's notes start by specifying the enemy's name, then its scientific name, then its family. Then, he goes into detail about how the creature functions biologically, its quirks and interesting aspects, its lifestyle habits, and so on.

For enemies that were in Pikmin 2, Louie's notes and Olimar's notes on them are very similar, if not exactly the same as their Pikmin 2 Piklopedia counterpart.

Unlocking

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Particularly: List the requirements for unlocking the Piklopedia proper. Also, figure out if Olimar's comments become available in all Story Mode save files.

Most entries are unlocked by killing and retrieving the enemy, but some have different rules, because their corpses cannot be brought to the Onion. The table above lists each enemy's requirements. Entries can only be unlocked by performing the requirements in Story Mode.

As for the character comments:

• Brittany's comments become available when the player frees her in the Garden of Hope.
• Charlie's comments become available when the player rescues him from the Vehemoth Phosbat.
• Louie's comments become available when the player rescues him from the Quaggled Mireclops.
• Olimar's comments become available when the player finishes Olimar's Comeback.
