Olimar's Log is a category from the Exploration Notes menu in Pikmin 3. It holds 10 data files with journal entries from Captain Olimar's explorations. The files are scattered around the areas, and sometimes hidden.
All of these have the text "– Captain Olimar" on a stripe at the bottom. In this article, unless otherwise specified, the text provided is the same in both the US and European versions. The title of each in the US version is "Journal Entry #", followed by a number, but in the European version, it's "Olimar's diary #", followed by the number.
