In this page, I will post everything related to background information in the Pikmin series (rests from the human civilization, for example). I will try to classify them (decorations, machines, and so...). Note ; sometimes, some items that appeared as treasures in a previous game appeared as decorations in another game, and vice-versa. I will often post oher things that are not related to background information in order to make comparisons.
