Rewind is a useful feature, especially for beginners. There may be times when you lose Pikmin to enemies or mistakes, but you can use Rewind to reach a point before they die and try again!

No Limit to Number of Rewind Uses

You can use Rewind as many times as you want in a day. There is no recharge time so make the most out of it while playing Pikmin 4.

Choose Your Rewind Time

Pikmin 4 Rewind Feature
Rewind lets you go to your last auto-save by default. However, by using the L-stick or D-pad, you can choose other times to rewind to.

Travel Between Areas are Limited

While Rewind is a flexible feature, you cannot use it to travel between areas.

Surface and Caves

Using Rewind after entering a cave will only allow you to go back to the start of the cave. Once you leave a cave, Rewind then goes only as far as your initial exit where you choose which Pikmin to call or return.

Rescue Command Post and Other Areas

Rewind cannot be used at the Rescue Command Post. In addition, if you rewind immediately after landing in a new area (e.g. the Sun-Speckled Terrace) you can only go back up to the time of your arrival.

You Can Lose Progress and Treasure

Using Rewind may let you correct mistakes and save your Pikmin but it also means losing progress and collected treasures. You cannot undo a rewind so be careful and mindful of your choice.
