Hey! Pikmin logs
The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who playsHey! Pikmin. |
Hey! Pikmin has alog feature in whichCaptain Olimar writes a log about thecreatures andtreasures he encounters in his journey throughout the game. This feature has no name, being referred to only as "Logs" in the likes of thearea selection menu, and is similar to thePiklopedia andTreasure Hoard inPikmin 2. It also allows the player to view 3D models of each entry, but unlikePikmin 2, the models appear in a void, and cannot be interacted with other than rotating thecamera and triggering a couple of random animations by tapping on them. While viewing an entry, the top screen shows Olimar's log on the subject, while the bottom screen shows the 3D model and buttons to navigate themenu for the logs.
There are four categories in the logs menu: "Pikmin Log", "Creature Log", "Treasure Log", and "amiibo Log". Although entries are not specifically numbered, each one in a category has its own reserved spot in the list, and if the player has not yet encountered the subject, then a question mark will appear in place of its icon.
This feature becomes available after completing the tutorial level, although the creature and amiibo categories are initially locked, as explained in their own sections in this article.
Pikmin Log[edit]

Creature Log[edit]
The Creature Log documents theenemies found in the journey. This category is initially unavailable, and only becomes available once the player reaches 10,000Sparklium. The list is roughly sorted by the order in which the enemies are first introduced, and allbosses appear at the end. This category is represented with theMockiwi's icon. The European name will be provided below the US name with an EU marker if different from the US name.
Treasure Log[edit]
The Treasure Log contains entry about all of the non-amiibo treasures collected. A treasure is only logged after it is recovered and the player reaches the goal in thearea it is in. These treasures are sorted by the order in which they appear, following this priority: Sector > Area > HUD icon, and the areas are sorted in the order: A > B > C > D > E > X. The final treasures in this category are the ones that appear on thePikmin Park. This category is represented with theLoop of Beginnings's icon. The European name will be provided below the US name with an EU marker if different from the US name.
amiibo Log[edit]
The amiibo Log is the same as the Treasure Log, but only containsamiibo statue treasures. Until the player obtains their first amiibo, this category is closed off, and its button shows a question mark instead. This category is represented with theColossus in Suspenders's icon. The European name will be provided below the US name with an EU marker if different from the US name.
