Editing Enemy reel

{{game icons|p=y}}
{{title}}
The '''enemy reel''' is a video sequence that plays at the end of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', after the [[credits]] sequence, but only if the player successfully completes the game with all 30 [[ship part]]s. It shows brief clips of each enemy in the game, as well as some important plants, and then pauses to give its name and some details. In this way it is similar to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] that appears in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

In {{npcp1}}, the enemy reel plays like in the GameCube version, but takes up less of the screen, and has a flowered animated background behind it. One can tell that the gameplay footage on the clips has not been updated, given that, amongst other things, Captain Olimar uses the GameCube game's [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]. However, the names of the [[Pearly Clamclamp]], [[Wollywog]], [[Yellow Wollywog]], and [[Wogpole]] have been updated to Clampshell, Wollyhop, Yellow Wollyhop, and Wolpole for the European [[Region|version]]. Additionally in the European [[region|version]] of either port, the enemy reel text remains in English, even when the game's text is set to a different language.

In [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch port of ''Pikmin'']], the enemy reel has been re-recorded and revamped, likely because Nintendo did not have any higher quality versions of the video and also to remove the discrepancies seen on a majority of the clips.

==Reel==
This list shows the enemies in the same order as they appear in the reel on the [[GameCube]] version of ''Pikmin'', i.e., with the Swooping Snitchbug out of place. As noted above, in the [[Region|European]] port of {{npcp1}}, some enemies were renamed. The Clampshell was moved to its correct alphabetical spot, but the Wolpole was not.

==Discrepancies==
Some object placements and level geometries are different between what is in the reel and the final game. This, in addition to slightly different graphical effects, camera work, and a minor ordering oversight, leads to the conclusion that the reel was created somewhat [[Pikmin prerelease information|early during development]]. The following has been noted to be [[Mistake|incorrect]] in the enemy reel:

*All enemies appear in alphabetical order, with the exception of the [[Swooping Snitchbug]], which appears after the [[Fiery Blowhog]]. This hints that the early name of the creature likely started with the word "Flying" or "Floating".
*On the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]'s clip, a can replaces the [[Radiation Canopy]].
*The [[Extraordinary Bolt]] replaces the [[Whimsical Radar]] on the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] and [[Sheargrub]] clips. This can also be seen on one of the [[Pikmin prerelease information|trailers]].
*The [[Goolix]] (as well as a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]]) can be seen on [[The Forest Navel]], despite never being encountered in this area in the final game.
*The [[Honeywisp]] can be seen on [[The Distant Spring]], despite never being encountered in this area in the final game.
*On the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] clip, one can spot a treasure similar to the Extraordinary Bolt, albeit on The Distant Spring, and with a green top. A [[Breadbug]] nest can be seen in the stump to the right.
*A Spotty Bulborb can be seen in place of a [[Spotty Bulbear]] on The Distant Spring, in the [[Candypop Bud]], [[Dwarf Bulborb]] and [[Yellow Wollywog]] clips.
*In the [[Water Dumple]] clip, the [[Positron Generator]] can be seen resting on a [[Pearly Clamclamp]], and on the [[Wogpole]] clip, it is seen on water, despite the area being The Distant Spring in both cases.
*In the [[Wollywog]] clip, the [[Analog Computer]] can be seen on the southern lake of The Forest Navel. In the final game, this ship part is at the north of the map, and cannot be carried to the water in the southern lake.
*In the Yellow Wollywog clip, the path that leads to the southern island in The Distant Spring has raised edges on the parts where the bridge should start and end; the bridge is also absent.
**This is also the case in the [[Burrowing Snagret]] clip; the same kind of raised edge is visible on the island with the [[Sagittarius]].
*The rocky ledge on The Impact Site only has one Pellet Posy, yet on the plant's clip, a Posy and a red 1 pellet can be seen on the same ledge.
*Notably, the [[Onion]]s at the landing site in [[The Forest Navel]] can be seen deactivated just as the camera zooms in on the [[Fiery Blowhog]] clip, despite the fact that they would need to be activated to even be there in the first place.
*The black stone wall serving as a shortcut to the higher ground in [[The Forest Navel]] is a black bramble wall in the [[Fiery Blowhog]] clip.
*On the [[Fiery Blowhog]] clip, an Ionium Jet can be seen on the westernmost ledge surrounding the landing site. Although this ship part is present in the The Forest Navel, it is impossible for it to be there (the Pikmin will always choose to attempt to pass through the gate in its carrying path that leads up to the landing site, and will never carry it anywhere near there)
*There is no metal pipe joint behind the gate in the [[Emperor Bulblax]] clip.
*A unknown bell-shaped object replaces the [[Massage Machine]] on the [[Yellow Wollywog]] clip. This same object can also be seen on one of the [[Pikmin prerelease information|trailers]].
*The puzzle leading to the [[UV Lamp]] on the [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]] clip is slightly different. This change can be also seen on one of the [[Pikmin prerelease information|trailers]].
The following partial discrepancies can also be noted:
*The presence of a can near the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] suggests there was another way to damage the boss, by using [[bomb rock]]s, as cans in ''Pikmin'' normally house bomb rocks. It's also suggesting that the [[Radiation Canopy]] is in the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] instead of being out in the open. In the final game, bomb rocks do no damage towards the Armored Cannon Beetle when thrown, and nothing happens when a Yellow Pikmin carrying a bomb rock is thrown into the blowhole; the fight simply continues as normal.
*The [[Gravity Jumper]] seems to be yellow, on the [[Shearwig]] clip, although it's probably an issue with the lighting. Also, Honeywisps are seen in the background near the Gravity Jumper, but they shouldn’t spawn there, despite being in the area in the final game.
*The [[Mamuta]], a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], a [[Pearly Clamclamp]] and an Iridescent Flint Beetle appear in The Distant Spring. This is only possible in the final game in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], but it's unlikely that the footage for these clips was taken in Challenge Mode. That mode must have been added later into the game than the time in which the clips were recorded, and it would make more sense to show clips of enemies as they were encountered during the actual adventure, and not the non-[[canon]] Challenge Mode.
*It seems that [[Blue Pikmin]] weren't unlocked yet on the [[Smoky Progg]] clip. While it is possible to get to [[The Distant Spring]] without Blue Pikmin, it is highly unlikely that the player would have not unlocked Blue Pikmin before even being able to access [[The Distant Spring]]. Accessing The Distant Spring without Blue Pikmin would require completing at least one of the water-based puzzles in [[The Forest of Hope]] leading up to either the [[Geiger Counter]], the [[Radiation Canopy]] and the [[Sagittarius]] without Blue Pikmin in what are likely unintended ways.
*In the Smoky Progg clip, the Smoky Progg's eyes are shown to be green, and not pink as they are in the final release.
*The enemy reel states that the Spotty Bulbear has "A certain indefatigability", meaning it doesn't get tired. However, in ''Pikmin'', Spotty Bulbears spend much of their time sleeping.
*It seems that 3 Pikmin are carrying a 1 [[pellet]] in the [[Breadbug]] clip. In the released version of the game, only 2 Pikmin may carry a 1 pellet at a time. There are some mysteries surrounding the possibility of [[Pellet#Three Pikmin carrying a 1 pellet|three Pikmin carrying a 1 pellet together]], and it is not clear if what's seen on the enemy reel is a gameplay mechanic available before the game's release, or if some of the "carrier" Pikmin are actually idling near the Onion's beam.
*Because there's a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]] on the ground by the lake in The Forest Navel, a player could skip the Blue Onion and get Blue Pikmin right away. This might be the reason why the Goolix and the Candypop Bud were removed, although it may also be possible that the order that areas were unlocked in was different in this revision, and the player would have obtained the Blue Pikmin before going to The Forest Navel.
