Take in the pleasant sounds of nature.

At its best, the music in the Pikmin series acts as a subtle extension of the games' environments and attitudes. Composer Hajime Wakai's musical creations are the source of much of the curiosity and organic quirk that comes across in the games, a quality that those of Pikmin 2 exemplify in their variety.

Wakai's soundtrack ventures in many musical directions, though all feel appropriate to the tone of the game. Some tracks are tinged with a quieter uncertainty, while others explore the more open and whimsical nature of Pikmin, and the odd yet inviting rhythms and themes that come with it. While I've chosen a handful of tracks I feel best represent it, the whole soundtrack is substantial, and full of interesting and layered instrumentation.
