During production of the ''Pikmin'' games, some ideas were thought of, but ultimately disappeared when the game was finally released. Some of those aspects can still be found in old trailers, magazine screenshots, and the like. A couple of content remained in the final game, but went [[Unused content|unused]], though this article refers to information about prototype versions. | |||
During production of the ''Pikmin'' games, some ideas were thought of, but ultimately | |||
==''Pikmin'' | ==''Pikmin''== | ||
The | ===Trailers=== | ||
The game's trailers showed footage that contained some changes from ''Pikmin'''s final version. These following 3 trailers are presumably ordered chronologically. | |||
* | ====Trailer 1==== | ||
* | The first trailer shows a lot of differences from the final version of the game. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x245evHAhQ&fmt=34 View Trailer]<br/> | ||
* | The following things are different from the final version: | ||
* | *There are several aesthetic changes. | ||
* | **The current day is shown below the sunlight meter. | ||
**Pellet Posies are taller, have (presumably harmless) spikes on the side, and their flower are different. | |||
**Pellets have a surface that curves inwards on the top and bottom. | |||
**Olimar jumps around when walking. | |||
**Onions stretch upwards a lot when sucking in something. | |||
**A [[Burrowing Snagret]] can be seen, but its color is a lot more pale. | |||
**The pikmin move considerably slower | |||
*Gameplay happens on several [[area]]s that are not present in the final game. | |||
*Apparently, controlling the Pikmin with the C-stick emits some particles from Olimar's helmet light. | |||
*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 thrown. | |||
*Pikmin can be seen carrying a strawberry, rumored to be the [[Sunseed Berry]] from ''Pikmin 2''. | |||
*A 20-pellet can be seen producing 30 Pikmin. | |||
*More than 100 Pikmin can be on the area at a time. | |||
*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 [[Yellow Wollywog]] that is falling over after being defeated can be seen squishing Pikmin when collapsing. When this happens, the Pikmin counter spazzes a bit. It's either a glitch, or a notable way to tell Pikmin are dying. | |||
*Killed Yellow Wollywogs disappear and drop pellets. | |||
*A 40-pellet can be seen. | |||
*The Onions are set in a straight line, not in a triangle. | |||
====Trailer 2==== | |||
A second trailer has eventually been released. It shows a lot less changes from the final version, but it still has some. | |||
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UARVqmMqpFQ&fmt=34 View Trailer]<br/> | |||
The following changes from the final version can be spotted: | |||
*Minor aesthetic differences. | |||
' | *The [[HUD]] is the same as the final version's, but the day counter is at the bottom right corner of the screen. | ||
*[[Bridge]]s aren't complete yet, they are blue with a weird texture. | |||
*Pikmin can be seen taking down a [[stone gate]], something that can only be destroyed with [[bomb-rock]]s. | |||
*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. | |||
*The [[Impact Site]] music is played, but it sounds as if it is played entirely on the flute. | |||
== | ====Trailer 3==== | ||
A third trailer has also been released. The game in this state looks quite close to the final version. | |||
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xahdDqCxCoU View Trailer]<br/> | |||
The following differences from the final version can be seen: | |||
*Minor aesthetic differences. | |||
*The day counter is in the bottom-right corner. It's now a circle instead of an oval. | |||
*When Pikmin are plucked, they become pale. | |||
*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]]. | |||
===Enemy Reel=== | |||
The pre-rendered clips on the [[Enemy Reel]] show some enemies in places where they can't be found in the final game, as well as areas that look a bit different. The Enemy Reel was probably recorded before some of the levels' layouts changed. Those incoherences can be found [[Enemy reel#Discrepancies|here]]. | |||
===Other info=== | |||
[[File:3 Pikmin 1 pellet.png|thumb|right|The manual image showing 3 Pikmin on a 1 pellet.]] | |||
*On the page that describes how [[Onion]]s and [[pellet]]s work, there is a picture showing 3 Pikmin carrying a 1 pellet. It's unknown whether it was possible to have 3 Pikmin carry such a pellet at one point during the game's development, or if it is the consequence of a [[Glitches in Pikmin#3 Pikmin carrying a 1 pellet|rare glitch]]. | |||
==''Pikmin 2''== | |||
===Trailer=== | |||
A trailer, seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZxKm9aGiEY here] shows little unused information, except for the fact that Blue Pikmin were able to enter the [[Lost Toy Box]] (this can be seen 50 seconds into the video). | |||
