Pikmin 4’s most interesting area is Hero’s Hideaway, mainly because it’s a house. Really, it’s just a very large open-plan house – or at least it feels large in comparison to the tiny Pikmin. Here you’ll be pillaging valuables, treasures, and food, but your main goal should be to get inside the Bunker.

There’s a wall safe under the stairs. It has a table in front of it and there’s a fan to boost you up there, but getting inside is a bit more difficult – especially since the combination changes between each playthrough. For everything you need to find the Hero’s Hideaway Bunker code in Pikmin 4, just read through our guide below.
