Editing Music in Pikmin 3

*(1:08) Pikmin idle in tulips, until they begin hiding from back to front. The frontmost Yellow Pikmin does not notice the threat, and nearly gets eaten by the revealed [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]. The Pikmin rise out of the tulips one by one, and watch the Whiptongue Bulborb leave until a Blue Pikmin is caught by a [[Swooping Snitchbug]]. This long scene has two parts. The first is a buildup to the Bulborb's attack, in gracing woodwinds, piano, and snare drum. The texture becomes increasingly thick and accelerates until the Bulborb's attack is accented by a cymbal crash and timpani hit. The Bulborb's failure and departure characterized by the bassoon gesture from the [[Twilight River]] theme, the Pikmin begin rising from their tulips with whole-tone harp and glockenspiel. As each one rises, they make a small noise, and the high-register waltz texture plays their scale. As more of them rise, they begin to make noises in rhythm, and even start to sing the ''Pikmin 2'' motif, until a gesture in piano and {{w|col legno}} strings abruptly accents the Swooping Snitchbug capturing the Blue Pikmin, ending the scene.

*(1:50) A camera pan-through shows many different Pikmin in the Twilight River practicing singing the ''Pikmin 2'' motif and eventually harmonizing to the song. There are just enough Pikmin shown in the scene for all the voices in the tune, and their voices are wavering and arrhythmic enough to sound more like an ensemble of non-professional singers than an instrument. This is also the first instance of Pikmin harmonizing together, getting more and more accurate as the piece progresses and deceptively becomes more and more orchestral. By the end of this scene, a trumpet and full strings accompany the Pikmin. As a fun secret in the credits, the final Pikmin shown, a Blue Pikmin on a branch, appears to be conducting the song. It waves its arms and makes noises that resemble, "Two, three..." as a conductor might gesture in a {{w|fermata}} such as this.
