Data file
Data Files are collectables scattered around the surface of PNF-404 in Pikmin 3. They appear as glowing yellow SD Cards that float in place. Once one has been uncovered, its text can be read by clicking its icon on the KopPad screen.
Purpose
It is through Data Files that Alph, Brittany, and Charlie gain understanding of the Pikmin and the world they come from. Data Files, when collected, provide various hints and bits of information of various topics. It is unknown if they respawn, or how many of them are present in Pikmin 3.
Secret Memos
Secret memos are hidden data files that are scattered around the planet. There are two per area and when found they show a single number. The order of numbers found is unique to the player. There uses are unknown but on the July 30th 2013 Miyamoto made a post to the Pikim developers' room on Miiverse.
- "I don't suppose you've come across any Secret Memos while playing through the Story?
- Did you know that once you've collected ten of these Secret Memos, the numbers contained in them will combine to form a special code? I'll be in touch again to explain how to use the code, so be sure to make a note of it once you have it!" - Shigeru Miyamoto
Acording to this, sometime in the near future Miyamoto is going to reveal where the code can be entered untill that time any ideas of what the secret will be is pure speculation.
