Hey! Pikmin takes place on a separate planet to the main series, very similar to PNF-404, but with a different continental layout and different creatures. Its official name is unknown.

There are a few planets in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 that aren't mentioned and are only seen in each game's opening scene, which both show shots of space. They are purely aesthetic, and don't appear or are mentioned anywhere else in the games or series. In Pikmin 3, lots of these planets are nearly identical, but there are still distinguishable "types". Pikmin 2Yellow planetThis planet is large, yellow, and has three moons. Hocotate Freight is shown to have delivered supplies to it. The moons are colored green, orange, and blue. Pikmin 3Spherical planetsMost of these planets are perfectly rounded, pearly spheres, resembling the gas giants Uranus and Neptune. Others, seen in the Drake's takeoff scene seem to have a more rocky texture. None of these planets have moons. Asteroid planetsThese planets are rigid and rocky, and might as well be asteroids. This may suggest that they are quite small, as small planets in real life often develop strange shapes because of a lack of gravity. Pikmin 4Icebound planetsCaptain Olimar mentions "a few icebound planets" that he visited while delivering cargo in his notes for the Ice Sword, which based on his apt description of the planets being "icebound", are probably completely covered in ice. Since Olimar mentions he had visited these planets while delivering cargo, it is likely that most of these are colonized and have life. Although unconfirmed, it is possible that these "icebound" planets actually correspond to some planet names revealed in Pikmin 4. Names in other languagesKarut
