The area selection menu, also called the world map, is a menu that allows the player to select an area to explore. In the main series of Pikmin games, it appears before the start of each day, and provides information on each area so the player can make the best choice on which one to select. It only shows areas that have been unlocked, and thus changes appearance over the course of the game. As a major part of Story Mode, the area selection menu is much more detailed than most other menus, and it provides access to various features, such as the Piklopedia, to give the player a rest in between days.
