==History==
Before being released in Japan, the GameCube's codename was "Dolphin". Due to this, some of the console's games have a reference to the codename, via an illustration or just a name. In ''Pikmin''{{'s}} case, it is the name of [[Captain Olimar]]'s spaceship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]].

==Memory Card==
There are three official GameCube memory card varieties:
*59 blocks (gray)
*251 blocks (black)
*1019 blocks (white)

In the ''Pikmin'' series, the first game requires 19 blocks, and the sequel 27.

==In-game references==
{{p4}} features two [[treasure]]s in the [[Newly Nostalgic Series]] that are related to the GameCube. These are the [[Winged Freedom Sculpture]], a GameCube controller, and the [[Glinty Circular Disc]], a Japanese disc of ''{{w|Wave Race: Blue Storm}}''.
