==Trailers==

===Trailer 1===

The first trailer shows a lot of differences from the final version of the game. These changes can also be seen on screenshots showcased in Nintendo Power #145.{{cite web|http://oldgamemags.tumblr.com/post/114204033859/nintendo-power-145-june-2001-the-nintendo|Old Game Mags|tumblr}}

*Olimar can [[pluck]] Pikmin with his whistle in the same way the [[Pluckaphone]] is used in ''Pikmin 2''.

*Pikmin make squeals similar to those of pigs when [[throw]]n.

*Idle Pikmin all change to white.

*Pikmin can be set on a straight line. They seem to be idle in this state, but they aren't pale or white. Additionally, they shake their leaves heavily.

*A 40-pellet can be seen.

*Olimar's [[health]] meter is either not implemented correctly, or behaved quite differently in this version. At different times, the colored pie chart can be seen completely full, completely depleted (along with warning effects), or missing altogether.

===Trailer 2===

A second trailer has eventually been released. It shows a lot less changes from the final version, but it still has some.

The following changes from the final version can be spotted:

*Minor aesthetic differences.

*[[Bridge]]s aren't complete yet; they are blue with a weird glassy texture. The opposite end where the bridges end is some sort of white platform.

*Some blue [[nectar]] can be seen.

*Pikmin can be seen taking down a [[stone gate]], something that can only be destroyed with [[bomb-rock]]s in the final game.

*The [[Puffy Blowhog]]'s attack throws Pikmin and Olimar a lot higher and farther.

*Some areas look the same as in the final game, but others seem to be entirely different. The enemy and object placement in the final areas is also different.

*There is an unknown bell-shaped object at [[The Distant Spring]], that doesn't appear anywhere in the final game (at 0:41 in the video, near the top left corner).

===Trailer 3===

The following differences from the final version can be seen:

*The [[Extraordinary Bolt]] replaces the location of the [[Whimsical Radar]].

*The [[S.S. Dolphin]] when it is crashed is noticeably more empty.

*Minor aesthetic differences.

*When a [[Puffy Blowhog]] attacks, it send the Pikmin and Olimar much higher and farther.

*Pikmin can be seen climbing a really long vertical pole on [[The Distant Spring]].

*The [[Menu#Pause|pause menu]] is consisted of a rough rectangle, made out of four constantly-moving cyan rectangles. The options "continue" and "exit" exist, in lowercase, and with a more lively font than normal.

*The [[HUD#Sun Meter|Sun Meter]] lacks the three larger circles, and has 16 dots instead of 13.

*The HUD is the same as the one on the [[#Trailer 2|2^nd trailer]], with the [[day]] counter at the bottom-right corner, and only a party-Pikmin and total-Pikmin counter.

*[[Climbing stick]]s are larger and thicker, and look more like dried pieces of curled wood.

*[[Pellet]]s look a bit more rounded on the sides, but have blunter rims at the top.

*Pikmin can be [[pluck]]ed by being [[whistle]]d at, something only possible in a finished game in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', with the [[Pluckaphone]].

*The yellow nucleus on the flowers atop the Pikmin's heads is a lot darker in this build.

*The [[camera]] tries to focus on the center-point between [[Olimar]] and the group of Pikmin he's commanding. This does not happen in the final game, where the camera is always locked on Olimar, but something similar happens in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', albeit to a less extreme degree.

*On the [[Menu#Onion|Onion menu]], the plural of "Pikmin" is "pikmins". Not only is it in lowercase, but it also has an "s" at the end. Both of these elements are incorrect, as the correct canonical way of typing the plural is "Pikmin", the same as singular.

*When enemies die, some bland firework-like particles come out, and a huge donut-shaped cloud of dust appears.

==Other info==

*In an interview between Nintendo staff members and Nintendo Player's Guide, it was revealed that one enemy was originally meant to carry a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]'s leg in the corner of its mouth.{{cite quote|The enemy creatures aren't frightening, but they became frightening once the programmers created creatures that eat Pikmin. / The most frightening one was the creature that kept doing its own thing while keeping a Pikmin leg hanging out of the side of its mouth. (''Laughs.'') Of course, I removed it.|Miyamoto and Reed|a Nintendo Player's Guide interview}} This was removed for being deemed too frightening.
