Data Files are collectible items scattered around the surface of PNF-404 in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. They appear as glowing yellow SD Cards that float in place and are fairly common. Once one has been uncovered, it will show up on the Wii U GamePad screen, and can later be checked by looking at the Exploration Notes menu. There are 120 Data Files in all.
