* It turns out that this article was actually featured on the Pikmin Wikia during the split period, but I guess that doesn't count, and it can still be featured. Also, due to this article's importance, it should probably be the featured article when the ''Pikmin'' mobile app releases (probably in October-November; I think [[Cupid's Grenade]] should be featured in August-September). &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:37, July 17, 2021 (EDT)
** Update: We featured {{psm}} for this time period instead because it was looking like the app would release later, but it turns out it did release in this time, plus we missed the chance to have Captain Olimar be the featured article for ''Pikmin''{{'s}} 20th anniversary. Oh well; we've missed it now. The article's still good though, so it's ready to feature whenever. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:58, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

# I'm changing my support of this one to opposition, as the saved game selection menu is just not notable enough to be featured.
