| blurb = A wiki dedicated to the internal files in ''Pikmin'' games.
| about_title = About
| about_content =
Throughout the years, ''Pikmin'' fans have tinkered with the files inside the games in order to better learn how they work, and to create custom content. Since there are a lot of nuances in every little thing, and since new fans to the concept of file editing show up all the time, this wiki was created with the purpose of serving as a knowledge base for all that the fans know!
