During production of the ''Pikmin'' games, some ideas were thought of, but ultimately discarded when the game was finally released. Some of those aspects can still be found in old trailers, magazine screenshots, and the like. Although some of the content remained in the final game, but went [[Unused content|unused]], these article focus on content that used to exist or was different before the games were concluded. Because these normally belong in the stages of development commonly called alpha and beta, fans call this "alpha information" or "beta information".
