This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so. This subject had no page on Pikipedia before the import, so in order to merge it, it just needs to be cleaned up. At Pikmin Wiki, this page was called "Secret Files", which is likely different from the current title. It might make sense to rename this page. |
Secret Files (also referred to as Secret Memos) are a variation of Data Files found in Pikmin 3. Unlike most data files, these do not give any tips or information. Instead, they simply have a picture of some Pikmin with a random number from 0-9.
Miyamoto stated in a Miiverse post that if you collect all 10 of these memos the numbers in them will comanate into a Secret Code. Once they are all collected, you can then go to a Wii U exclusive website (On the Wii U Internet browser only) and enter your code to watch one of five secret video exploration logs.
There are 2 Secret Memos per area. They are always found in the same place, but the ones you find in these places are randomized to form one of five codes.
One video log is not accesible yet via the Secret Memo codes and has not been officially released by Nintendo, and was found on Nintendo's website by analyzing the pages' source code in Safari. You can find it here and it features Louie.
