Music in Hey! Pikmin
|
This article is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it. |
Almost all moments of Hey! Pikmin have some accompanying music to set the mood of the situation, from the menu the player is using to the cutscene they are watching to the area they are navigating through. The soundtrack for Hey! Pikmin was composed by Masato Kouda and Kento Hasegawa.
Menus
- Title screen
| Title screen | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_02_title.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the title screen and saved game selection menu. This theme presents an ethereal electronic atmosphere, somewhat similar to The Distant Spring's theme from Pikmin. After some time, the synthesizers are joined by a harp ostinato and some simple hand percussion.
- Sector selection
| Sector selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_04_world_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the sector selection menu, where the player spins the planet around and chooses which sector to go to. This theme draws on grand orchestral styles, opening with a strong melody on French horn, to emphasize the grand scale of the adventure across the planet, but it also features a constant layer of electronic sound effects, as if the sounds of the S.S. Dolphin II are playing in the background.
- Brilliant Garden area selection
| Brilliant Garden area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_05_W1_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Brilliant Garden's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. This wistful theme uses instruments with cute tone colors such as flute, xylophone, and harp to introduce the upcoming adventure in a peaceful way.
- Verdant Waterfront area selection
| Verdant Waterfront area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_06_W2_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Verdant Waterfront's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. A strong intro sets up this theme's firm rhythmic style. A simple melody is then exchanged between xylophone and a twangy plucked string instrument over a solid E chord. Later in the loop, dissonant scales in the background (very similar to those in the underground back side theme) change the feel considerably.
- Sparkling Labyrinth area selection
| Sparkling Labyrinth area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_07_W3_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Sparkling Labyrinth's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. This piece contains 3 distinct segments that are very different in style. The main thing holding them together is the steel drum, which is a fitting instrument for this sector's crystal theme.
- Ravaged Rustworks area selection
| Ravaged Rustworks area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_08__4_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Ravaged Rustworks's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. This theme is a lush bossa nova, with a melody played by raindrop-like and whistle-like synthesizers, and guitar and strings providing a jazzy background.
- Leafswirl Lagoon area selection
| Leafswirl Lagoon area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_09__5_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Leafswirl Lagoon's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. This beautiful theme in 3/4 time includes a calm melody played by 2 flutes over a simple guitar line, and later a second section with a similar melody played by an accordion over a more full-sounding background. The resulting theme is fitting for an autumn landscape.
- Sweltering Parchlands area selection
| Sweltering Parchlands area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_10__6_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Sweltering Parchlands's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. Compared to the earlier area selection themes, this one is much more synthetic, and contains more of an uncertain feel around it. A hopeful-sounding melody is undermined by higher-pitched synthesizers playing at odd times. This theme was reused in Pikmin Bloom as the badge viewer theme.
- Snowfall Field area selection
| Snowfall Field area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_11__7_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Snowfall Field's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. This theme creates a snowy feeling without the use of sleigh bells, which is cleverly done with a mix of staccato notes and swelling long notes played on xylophone and strings, with plenty of space in between. The second half of the piece may be a reference to The Forest of Hope's theme from Pikmin.
- Lushlife Murk area selection
| Lushlife Murk area selection | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_12__8_course_select.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the Lushlife Murk's area selection menu, where the player can pick which area of the sector to play in. This theme's strange synthesized sounds (plus a marimba) complement the poisonous swamp theme of the sector, without sounding too negative. The game may be nearing its end, but optimism remains.
- Results
| Results | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_43_result.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in the area results menu, when an area is cleared and the gathered Sparklium is tallied. This theme contains 2 prominent scalic melodies at the same time, one that goes up and up again, and one that goes up and down. These melodies are layered on top of a steady percussion part and a bassline that enters after some time. This theme was remixed in Pikmin Bloom as the Daily Lookback theme.
- Logs
| Logs | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_69_zukan_kyotu.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the Hey! Pikmin logs menu. This theme contains 2 sections; the first features a melody on xylophone and later flute, on top of an accordion part and a bass part that's barely audible on the 3DS's speakers, creating an overall sparse feel. The second section is more full-sounding, with long string chords and a harp part joining the other instruments. The harmony in this theme is generally positive to fit the enemy and creature logs it accompanies.
- Pikmin Park
| Pikmin Park | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_79_pikmin_hiroba.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the Pikmin Park. Sparse percussive tones and a low flute give this theme a "wild" feel that fits the style of the Pikmin Park well. The rhythm is similar to the Tropical Wilds theme from Pikmin 3.
- Secret Spot results
| Secret Spot results | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_78_kirakira_no_izumi_result.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the results screen of a Secret Spot, where the collected pellet or treasure is shown. This short loop moves between simple piano chords which are colored by a synth arpeggio playing the notes of the chord a fifth above. The resulting theme is more reflective than celebratory.
- Sparklium Springs results
| Sparklium Springs results | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_83_kirakira_no_izumi_after.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the results screen of a Sparklium Springs level, where the collected Sparklium is tallied up. This theme is the same as the Secret Spot results theme, but transposed up a minor third, and with a bright synth melody added. This creates a slightly more exciting texture.
- Game over
| Game over | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_67_game_over.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the game over screen of a standard area, where the player can choose to retry the stage or return to the area selection menu of the sector they are on. This also includes the segment with the brief cutscene showing Captain Olimar being beamed up to the S.S. Dolphin II. The cutscene section contains a silly melody, and the main part is a slow march with dissonant chords and a melody that emphasizes the comic nature of Olimar's failure.
- Secret Spot game over
| Secret Spot game over | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_87_minigame_failure_result.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the "Try again?" menu of a Secret Spot, where the player can choose to retry the challenge or return to the area selection menu of the sector they are on, which can be reached by letting Olimar be killed. This slow march uses a rough yet mellow synthesizer to play a silly melody that mocks Olimar for his failure. This comic nature is only added to by the use of a slide whistle that plays with the cymbal.
- Options
| Options | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_82_option.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the options menu. If the player adjusts the music volume, the effect takes place right away, so the player can use this song to figure out how loud the music volume is. This very electronic theme uses several synthesizer layers with heavy reverb and other effects, creating a technical feel that's fitting for the options menu.

Areas
Unlike in previous Pikmin games, the music in areas does not change dynamically based on what is happening in the game, and is constant throughout each scene of gameplay. However, most areas have 2 themes: one for the front side, and one for the back side, with one version fading out and the other version fading in when a doorway is entered. Front side themes are the primary themes of the areas, and contain diverse musical textures. In contrast, back side themes are much more sparse and ambient, and are only loosely based on the corresponding front side theme.
- Brilliant Garden area
| Brilliant Garden area | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_14_W1_course_head.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the "front" side of most areas in the Brilliant Garden: First Expedition, Mushroom Valley, Back-and-Forth Road, and Cherrystone Pass. It also plays in the tutorial area after the crash-landing. This theme sets a great introduction for the small scale and cute tone of the game, with high-pitched instruments playing a calming tune in the lydian mode. Throughout its several sections, instruments such as vibraphone, harp, flute, guitar, bright synthesizer, shaker, and clave come together in various combinations to make textures that exemplify the beauty of nature.
- Brilliant Garden area - back side
| Brilliant Garden area - back side | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_15_dungeon_a.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the same areas as Brilliant Garden area, but during the "back side", accessible by entering a doorway. This theme has a very different tone to the front side, being made up almost entirely of low-pitched breathy synthesizers, slowly moving between two chords, as various percussive and melodic fragments quietly appear and disappear. The resulting tone is ominous, but not threatening.
- Verdant Waterfront area
| Verdant Waterfront area | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_16_W2_course_head.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the "front" side of most areas in the Verdant Waterfront: Foaming Lake, The Shallow End, and Treacherous Currents. A constant sound of bubbles plays quietly beneath the rest of the theme here, demonstrating the watery style of this piece. The melody in part of the piece is played on detuned bottle-like percussion, and watery metal hits form much of the background percussion elsewhere.
- Verdant Waterfront area - back side
| Verdant Waterfront area - back side | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_17_W2_course_back.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the same areas as Verdant Waterfront area, but during the "back side", accessible by entering a doorway. This theme evokes the feeling of being deep underwater, with sound effects that descend into low pitches, atonal synthesizer melodies, and various synthetic click sounds.
- Sparkling Labyrinth area
| Sparkling Labyrinth area | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_18_W3_course_head.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the "front" side of most areas in the Sparkling Labyrinth: Crystal Tunnels, Echo Cavern, and The Burning Sky. The central pattern of this theme is a tresillo rhythm in the key of D, played on a synthesizer with the same sort of gravelly tone as a Rock Pikmin's voice, tying the theme of this sector to the Pikmin type it introduces. The melodies in the piece often have a delay effect, which matches the often enclosed nature of the areas in this sector, and the hard materials the walls are made out of.
- Sparkling Labyrinth area - back side

|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_19_W3_course_back.dspadpcm.bcstm

Plays during the same areas as Sparkling Labyrinth area, but during the "back side", accessible by entering a doorway. Heavy reverb or delay is on almost every sound in this theme, as if the sound is reflecting off the crystalline walls in the area. Various instruments come in and out throughout the loop, playing short and usually atonal melodies.

| Underground area | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_30_special_course_1_head.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during the "front side" of most areas that take place underground: Cavern of Confusion, Serene Stream, Glowing Bloom Pond, Springpetal Cave, The Hollow Sky, Space of Silence, Drenchnozzle Den, Lights in the Darkness, Terror Trench, Below the Ice, Ordeal of Flame, and Peculiar Rockfall. This theme starts with a high-pitched ostinato that sounds like water falling from the ceiling of a cave, over a low drone that plays for most of the piece. The piano that comes in later plays an expressive chord progression that always stays strictly in time with the percussion and the other layers that gradually come in. The piece's B-section replaces the sixteenth-note rhythms with a triplet pattern that stays in the same key, but moves between different chords.
- Underground area - back side
| Underground area - back side | |

Plays during the same areas as Underground area, but during the "back side", accessible by entering a doorway. Unlike most of the back side themes, this one has a slow melody throughout most of it, that gradually builds over a 2-chord loop and a bass drone. Later there is a staccato synthesizer playing scales, a frequent inclusion in back side themes.

- Before a boss battle
| Before a boss battle | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_44_boss_before.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays in all boss battle areas, including Fragment of Hope, in the section that takes place before the boss is actually encountered and fought. The player is unlikely to hear this theme for more than a few seconds, but even right at the start, tense string chords and dissonant xylophone arpeggios set a strong theme of tension. Later on, there are some unexpected harmonic shifts in an exchange between the strings and a bassoon.
- Secret Spot
| Secret Spot | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_72_amiibo_minigame_kyotsu.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during a Secret Spot. This theme encourages completing the puzzle as quickly as possible, through creating constantly rising tension. This is done with lots of chromaticism, as the most common chord movement is a semitone rise upwards, and almost every part has plenty of contrast between neighboring notes. This reaches a climax when the piece breaks its pattern of chord resolution to modulate to a higher key, accompanied by a change to brighter synthesizer tones.
- Sparklium Springs
| Sparklium Springs | |
|---|---|
| Internal name | BGM_76_kirakira_no_izumi_kyotsu.dspadpcm.bcstm
|
| External links | |
Plays during a Sparklium Springs area. This incredibly synthesizer-dominated piece uses many different electronic sounds and fast rhythms to create an exciting texture that fits the minigame well. The pop-style chords and melodies leave no time for hesitation or reflection – the goal is to get the Sparklium as quickly as possible.
