I love how you did this wiki! I'd edit here but I don't do Pikmin :p. Anyway, you guys must be coder extraordinaries to do all this. I'm a b-crat on Zeldapedia, so I came also to ask how you guys made the sidebar colorful and how you added the pikmin image in the background. That would be a great help.

The background is two images: one for the back, outside the page, that's fully opaque; and a paler one in the content area to create the idea of transparency.

I think the links in the first box on the page (top left) should be removed or moved to the quick links box. This would let the text in the top left box spread out a bit more, so the feature can move up a bit, so more of it is on the screen as should be the case. Also, I'm not sure why links like that are in that box anyway.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | I think the links in the first box on the page (top left) should be removed or moved to the quick links box.
