Notes: Garden of Hope is a good way to start. It's the theme that plays in the Garden of Hope in Pikmin 3. It's popular, catchy and important to the game. Only problematic thing I see is that the song is kinda slow, then again, most Pikmin themes are. Tropical Wilds is a moderately popular piece. Actually upbeat too! Awakening Wood is another great pick. Popular, upbeat and important to the game! Perplexing Pool is another good choice. The Title theme medley worls well though I feel that each track can work well on its own. Eviromental Noises?!? ENVIROMENTAL NOISES?!?! *eye twitch* I despised that track... It's not even a track... Still, it's a decent choice for a returning track, though popularity may take a plunge. The Forest of Hope is another good choice for a past track. Even today, it's one of the most popular Pikmin tracks. The Panel de Pon tracks are interesting but... that's two medleys... Your limited to just one... Still a good list. Nice work!

Notes: Garden of Hope is good! Plasm Wraith is a good choice for a track. It's a very popular boss fight! As well as the final boss of Pikmin 3. Nice choice! Wistful Wilds is a nice choice as well, though I do feel that it feels a bit... dark for lack of a better term. Perplexing Pool is good. As is Forest of Hope. Ai no Uta is a NECESSITY. I feel that its one track that WILL be in the game. Just too popular to leave out. Great choice there. I did not see the Endless Ocean piece coming. I think it works pretty well. The Art Academy theme is a nice choice too. However, it is a handheld game. Still. Nice list! Wait! STAHP! I see your change. Stage Clear does make things better. Lucky I saw that.
Next time just edit your post!

Notes: Garden of Hope is great! Mission Mode is a pick I expected! It's just too good of a track to pass up! Title Theme from Pikmin 3 is a good choice. Though I do feel that the ending fades away too much. Maybe a remix could help there. Perplexing Pool and Wistful Wilds are good tracks. Ai no Uta? Nuff said indeed. World Map (Pikmin 2) is a great choice for a past track. I really enjoy that choice! Plasm Wraith is another great pick. You really know your Pikmin!

All your Pikmin 3 choices are very good and provide variety as well. They fit the stage and are iconic songs for the game as well.
World Map from Pikmin 2 is one of the most popular songs of the entire series and the Brawl remix sounds excellent. Wistful Wild and Perplexing Pool are good choices as well, being very atmospheric songs.
Ai no Uta is another excellent choice, being one of the most recognized songs of the series, especially in Japan.

Stage Clear / Title from Brawl is a nice track too that fits the stage and gameplay nicely. For a more intense track, Plasm Wraith is a good choice from the latest game.
