How to Save in Pikmin 1

Pikmin 1 How to Save

When players get tired of the game or want to quit, they first need to save the game so that they don't have to start the passage again. In Pikmin, this is not so easy because the game is quite old school. There are several options for saving, which can be divided into automatic and manual. Automatic saves are performed before important battles or other events in the game. For example, before boss battles, so that if players lose, they can start the battle again from a checkpoint instead of the beginning of the level. Manual saves are those that users can manage by themselves, and they can find information about it below.

If players are not satisfied with the game statistics, they can choose not to save to replay the day.
