==Pikmin Adventure==
I found this off of Mario Wiki's Did You Know? template: "''In the Pikmin Adventure attraction of Nintendo Land, stage 14, "Out of the Darkness," features a structure at the start that resembles the Castles in Super Mario Bros.''" Thought it'd be good since it relates to the ''Pikmin'' series; it'd need a bit of rewording to make it more ''Pikmin''-oriented and not make it plagiarism. {{User:PikFan23/sig}}
:Yeah, I remember seeing [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=435206463230479&set=a.120520318032430.30157.119240841493711&type=1&theater an image about it] on Nintendo's Facebook. But I never brought it up because if you show a screenshot of the castle, isolated from any text, and show it to an average gamer, they'd quickly realize on their own that that castle resembles the ones in Super Mario Bros. Sure, I guess we can add it, but it's just so weak... — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:23, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
::(Note: Mario Wiki content is under CC-BY-SA, so copying isn't plagiarism, it just requires attribution.) <span style="font-family:times;color:#080">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|G]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050">P</span>]]'''''</span> 05:32, 1 April 2013 (EDT)
Well, according to Greenpickle, plagiarism is out of the way. I, personally, disagree with that being added because many players won't even consider Nintendo Land a Pikmin game until they click on the link to the article. According to the link PikminFanatic23 has provided us with, it is a true Easter egg. However, many players won't even care about it, as it is so easily noticeable and has nothing to do with the Pikmin series besides the mini game it is in. And besides, it wouldn't work well without a paired image, because players who don't have Nintendo Land wouldn't be able to see it for themselves.. -[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])
:Note that Espyo already added it as trivia at [[Nintendo Land]], which is probably enough.  I agree - I don't think it's interesting enough or directly related to Pikmin enough to go in this section. <span style="font-family:times;color:#080">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|G]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050">P</span>]]'''''</span> 08:43, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
==Trivia Ideas==
*That the icons of Bud Pikmin Carrying Bomb Rocks in Pikmin 1 are Purple(Blue), White(Yellow) and Orange (Red)?
*That Shaggy Long Legs is called damagumo in Pikmin 3's files, which was Beady Long Legs's internal name?
*That Rock, Winged, and Purple Onions appear at the Good ending of Pikmin 1?
*That Ujadani appears on day one?
*That a old Empress Bulbax skin appears in the Hole of Beasts?
*That the Raging Long Legs may be female?
*That according to Louie on the Bumbling Snitchbug, Water Dumples lay eggs?
*That The Mysterious Life Form shares the same Japanese name as the Water Wraith?
*That Shaggy Long Longs Stole Beady Long Legs's internal name?
*That on day one of Pikmin 1, only the Pearly ClamClamp with the Position Generator Appears?
Made by a Anonymous user some of these are just super hidden facts you can find on the wiki in nooks and cranny's and others are discoveries if made either myself or found by watching the Pal version of Pikmin 1,2,and 3

Wikipedia mainly uses the did you know template to showcase new articles, and even though Pikipedia doesn't get new articles very often, it would be nice to use this template to show new findings when possible. Here are some trivia points that could do this, as well as some other ideas:
*...that some points in {{p3}}{{'s}} [[Story Mode|story]] have pre-determined '''[[weather]]'''?
*...that the objective of [[Pikmin Reunion]] is similar to that of {{p1}}{{'s}} '''[[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]]'''? ''(this one would have to wait until after the current poll)''
*...that with the use of glitches, {{p2}} can be completed in '''[[5 day run|just 5 days]]'''?
*...that {{p3d}} has _ unique '''[[hint]]s'''? ''(this would include the number once we know what it is)''
*...that the [[Maturity|flower on a Pikmin's head]] is based on a real flower, the '''''[[Chaenostoma cordatum]]'''''? ''(this isn't new, but is nice to put on this template given it's been a few years since the article was featured)''
*...that the storyboards of the '''''[[Pikmin Short Movies]]''''' were created in ''[[nwiki:Flipnote Studio|Flipnote Studio]]''?
*...that the '''[[Combat#Slap|attack strength]]''' of [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]] was reduced in {{p3}}?

:Yeah, using DYK for new articles is a great tool. Heck, it's been used for a few years to highlight new discoveries. As for the tidbits themselves, I'd change "points" to "moments" in the first one.

*DYK that in Pikmin 2, there are four versions of the End of the Day song?

Allow me to explain that last one:

:What do you mean Submerged Castle is the only one with no variations? I'm sure there are many more cave songs with no variation. Also, you wrote "area song" instead of "cave song", so maybe you meant something else? And I'm pretty sure the combinations thing isn't right. For one thing, some are mutually exclusive (Olimar/Louie, day/sunset), others can be applied on top of the current track (working, low health, low Pikmin), and others are both (enemy/combat are mutually exclusive AND applied on top of the current track).

::So I did some testing to try and get better results.

::The Submerged Castle doesn't ever seem to change.  (Including low health and low Pikmin)  This makes it the only song out of both the the overworld and cave songs to never have a variation.  (i.e.: working, battle, ect.)
::Most of my testing was trying to figure out what overworld song variations could play on top of each other.  This is how any of the overworld songs in the game can play at any given time (Save for the Valley of Repose):
::(Olimar/Louie)(Normal/Sunset)(Near Enemy/Battle/None)(Working/None)(Spiderwort/None)(Low health/None)(Low Pikmin/None)

But since the low Pikmin version skips random notes, doesn't that mean that the possible variation is technically far higher?

Well, according to Greenpickle, plagiarism is out of the way. I, personally, disagree with that being added because many players won't even consider Nintendo Land a Pikmin game until they click on the link to the article. According to the link PikminFanatic23 has provided us with, it is a true Easter egg. However, many players won't even care about it, as it is so easily noticeable and has nothing to do with the Pikmin series besides the mini game it is in. And besides, it wouldn't work well without a paired image, because players who don't have Nintendo Land wouldn't be able to see it for themselves.. -[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])


::::::That's a bit too long for a DYK. And besides, the Valley of Repose does have a Spiderwort variation, it just doesn't play. It's not misleading to say "Did you know that area themes in ''Pikmin 2'' have 288 possible variations?", though it does leave out the element of randomness. Alternatively, the trivia point could be "Did you know that there are 288 ways for ''Pikmin 2'' to play its area themes?", though that's a bit more confusing. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:43, October 19, 2021 (EDT)

So saying "4 versions" is a bit misleading. I think it could be stated better as "Did you know that ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} end of day theme is different depending on the number of treasures collected?"

Made by a Anonymous user some of these are just super hidden facts you can find on the wiki in nooks and cranny's and others are discoveries if made either myself or found by watching the Pal version of Pikmin 1,2,and 3


::::::::Saying "4 versions" implies that they are all variations of eachother, and while 3 of them are, the extinction theme is definitely not. Saying "4 end of day themes" is much better. But why does it matter that there are 4 of them? Is that number particularly interesting as trivia? The interesting thing about ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} end of day themes isn't their quantity, it's their activation conditions. We could just say how the best end of day theme occurs when 15 treasures are collected in the day, which is pretty interesting. There's probably more interesting facts about end of day themes, like the fact that ''Pikmin''{{'s}} one contains an extra repeated section compared to ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} and ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}}. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:48, October 23, 2021 (EDT)

:::::::::I just thought that the fact that there was a fourth EoD song was a bit above and beyond what may have actually needed to be done, and it's a thing that some people may not know about or have experienced.  But hey, you're the one here with more experience.  Just do what you thinks needs to be done.  Plus, I don't think we have the same ideas as to what constitutes "interesting", which probably isn't helping anything.

::::::::::The fourth one is not the interesting one, the second and third ones are. ''Pikmin'' also has an extinction end-of-day theme, and it makes a lot of sense to have one because the regular theme is too joyful for the experience of losing all your Pikmin. What's interesting about ''Pikmin 2'' in this regard is that it has alternate end-of-day themes based on how many treasures you get, and it's the only ''Pikmin'' game to do this. That fact is worth adding to this template. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 16:52, October 24, 2021 (EDT)

*...that an unused model of a Goomba exists in ''Pikmin''? And it looks very similar to an unused enemy from [[Mario:List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|''Super Mario Sunshine'']]?
:I'd have linked to the [[Unused content in Pikmin]] page, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Goomba model documented.  Perhaps linking the respective TCRF pages would work better.  I'd have done ''that'' too, but I haven't figured that out yet.  Speaking of which...
*...that [[Mario:List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|an unused item in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']] resembles a mix between the Beady Long Legs and Baldy Long Legs' main body?
:The item in question (''spideritemball'') doesn't exist on the Mario Wiki's page (I think - I didn't look ''that'' closely).  Either it'll need to be inserted over there, or again, a TCRF link would do quite nicely.  It's colored the same as the Beady Long Legs' central orb, except it has the design of the Baldy Long Legs' one.  Except it has a vertical stripe, not a horizontal one.  It looks like an intermediate design between the two, or a mix, if you will.
*...an unused enemy in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' resembles a [[Male Sheargrub]]?
:Ditto, except now it's about ''larva''.  It's on The Cutting Room Floor's Galaxy page somewhere.
*...that a ''Pikmin'' reference was considered for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''?
:While Mario Galaxy is the subject at hand, this.  I'm not sure if it's ''a reference'' or ''some references''.
*...that [[Pikpik carrots]] are [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|a somewhat functional Pikmin type in ''Pikmin 3'']]?
:Also missing from it's respective Pikipedia page.  Also exists on The Cutting Room Floor.  This trivia point exists for ''Pikmin 2'', why not ''Pikmin 3''?
*...that ''Pikmin 2'' used to allow [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|more than 100 Pikmin on the field]]?
:this trivia point exists for ''Pikmin'', why not ''Pikmin 2''?
*...that the Waterwraiths in [[Bully Den]] ignore Louie in 2-player mode?
:Thinking about it, this is just probably a byproduct of how the game works.  The Waterwraith was probably only ever intended to search for the "active" leader, and apparently that status is given to Olimar in the 2-player modes.  And because it's 2-player, you can't ever switch leaders, so the "active" status is permanently attached to Olimar.  Not that this makes it any less interesting, it's just my best guess.
*...that ''Pikmin 3'' is the only ''Pikmin'' game without an [[Emperor Bulblax]] fight?
:There happens to be a ''Pikmin Bloom''-shaped wrench in this plan...
*...that unlike [[Breadbug family|dwarf bulborbs]], [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s are actually juveniles?
:Weak, to be sure, but maybe it's a somewhat interesting distinction.
*...that there are two different stories about the creation of [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'']]?
:You've heard of ''Super Mario 128'', and also ''Adam and Eve'', so which is it?  Unless you want to say that Mario 128 turned in to Adam and Eve, which then turned in to Pikmin, which ''maybe'' that's true, maybe not.  It's hard to tell, and it's kind of confusing.  Heck, the [[Pikmin|game's page]] even has both.  Somewhat unrelated, I linked the series in the trivia, but maybe a link the game itself could also work.    [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 15:17, July 16, 2022 (EDT)
 
::When it comes to covering unused content on Template:Did you know, we have to be very careful to make it clear that it's unused. People with many varying levels of ''Pikmin'' knowledge see this front-page template, and having unused content there could confuse some people. Also, we don't really document unused content in other games that resembles ''Pikmin'' stuff, because it doesn't fit on the [[Reference]] article. So with that in mind, I think the Goomba and Pikpik carrot trivia points are good, they just need a rewording.
::I think the Waterwraith and Dwarf Bulbear trivia points are pretty good and interesting. You point out why the Emperor Bulblax one doesn't really work in this comment, and it's not that interesting anyway. As for {{p1}}'s creation story, my interpretation was that ''Adam and Eve'' was in development and wasn't going well, and ''Super Mario 128'' was just a tech demo that didn't really have anywhere to go, so they combined ideas from each game into ''Pikmin''. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:38, July 16, 2022 (EDT)
 
:::I'm not really sure how to avoid getting someone confused with an unused content trivia point. Of course, not to say that's my goal, but saying that "X is unused in ''Y''" seems like it would suffice.  It would just be easier to avoid the subject all together, but I think that would be missing out on some interesting things.  But if it's necessary to avoid it, then I'd say do it.  As it's currently written though, the Goomba point seems easy enough to understand.  It could maybe be simplified to just "''...that there is an unused model of a Goomba in ''Pikmin''?''", but I think that's missing out on the fact there's two similar things, in two very different games.
:::As for the Pikpik carrot one, I think I see what you mean.  So how about: "''...that Pikpik carrots are an unused Pikmin type in ''Pikmin 3''?''"
:::And as the "creation of ''Pikmin''" one, well, all we really know is that once Miyamoto said Mario 128 was the basis of ''Pikmin'', and that another he said was ''Adam and Eve''. The connection between the two, if any, is a mystery. [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 21:50, July 16, 2022 (EDT)
 
:*For the Goomba one, I think it's good, but I would like it if we had that documented on the wiki first. After all, DYK points should have a link to an article where the reader can find more info, and if we don't have that info, then something's wrong. Too bad the organization of unused content is all over the place... It'll be a big mission to tidy up.
:*The spider item one is a bit sketchy. Party balls open like party balls &ndash; it doesn't need to be a Beady Long Legs reference. Plus the texture on it doesn't remind anyone of anything. But the fact that it has spider in the name is a bit telling. I don't know, it might all be too speculative in nature to work for a trivia point.
:*The little larva fellow could just be a regular larva with long proboscises. I think it's best if we skip this one.
:*That Pikmin reference one needs to be expanded upon. Was it something that Miyamoto said in an interview or something? Either way, it needs to be on Pikipedia to be applicable.
:*The pikpik carrots one likewise needs to be in Pikipedia first, I'm afraid.
:*The Dwarf Bulbear one could use some rewording so it's clearer for people who are new to the franchise.
:*My interpretation is that Super Mario 128 was a tech demo, which sparked interest in creating a franchise with a lot of small moving creatures. Adam and Even was the first prototype to actually implement that idea, with many small humans, but it was ultimately scrapped for not being fun enough. The two being the forefathers of Pikmin makes total sense to me, it's not really that confusing. So I think it wouldn't make for all that great of a trivia point.

::So, it seems that A). The wiki is missing stuff, and B). There's room left for interpretation, it seems.  It shouldn't be ''too'' hard adding any missing stuff, (at least for the sake of these trivia points) and I wonder if some of these could be tightened up a bit, and remove some of the room for interpretation.  But on specific points,
::*You may be right on the ''spideritemball'' thing.  Yeah, it doesn't ''need'' to be a reference, and yeah, it's pretty speculative.  It does seem a bit too on the nose to be a coincidence, though.  Although yes, this isn't the strongest of the bunch.
::*I you wanted to stretch it a bit, the existence of other unused objects in Galaxy other than ''larva'' (that is, ''Cocoon'', ''BigFly'', and ''BigBigFly'') may show am evolution of it.  BigFly has a set of pincers like larva does, and BigBigFly even has an animation of it's pincers closing, meaning that larva could've acted (likely attacking Mario) in the same way the male Sheargrub does.  Despite these things though, larva and the Male Sheargrub still look pretty similar, regardless.
::*With the Pikmin reference in Galaxy 2, I felt that this was probably known about for long enough that somebody somewhere would've added it to the wiki somewhere.  Thinking about it, I'm doubting I ever actually did see it on here.  And yes, it was in an interview.  I believe the idea of adding Pikmin and Donkey Kong references the the game were brought to him, but he turned it down, saying something about how Mario characters were short and fat, and easy to jump on, and Pikmin characters weren't.
::*Okay, how about "...that [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s aren't a member of the [[Breadbug family]], and are actually juveniles?"  Or if it needs to be truncated, "...that [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s aren't a member of the Breadbug family?" or "... that Dwarf Bulbears are actually juveniles?" (or perhaps  ...''real juveniles?'').  Now I'm just kind of throwing stuff at the wall.
::*The "creation of Pikmin" one may not have the absolute ''best'' idea I've ever come up with, so it may be best to just ax it, or maybe rewrite it.  Maybe to something along the lines of "...that it's possible that two different games went into the creation of ''Pikmin''?" or simply "...that two games went into the creation of ''Pikmin''?"  [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 11:38, August 16, 2022 (EDT)
:::In general I guess the Mario Galaxy ones just aren't good enough for trivia. The idea of the Dwarf ones was to specify how they are juveniles of the Bulbear. Just saying they are juveniles doesn't really mean much -- even the Dwarf Bulborb might be a juvenile as far as we know. Just that it's a juvenile of a species we have yet to see as an adult. The games one is implying a lot. Super Mario 128 might be less of a game, more of a tech demo. Same for Adam and Even, and that one may have really just been a test program. Maybe Super Mario 128 spawned a lot of different off-shot experimental games, and one of them mutated to Pikmin. Maybe there are elements from other games that never saw the light of day. Just saying something like "Pikmin was inspired by Super Mario 128 and Adam and Even" is enough.

== Mistake ==
 
I noticed one of these trivia points has a mistake. I'm talking about the one that says "...that the Shaggy Long Legs and Baldy Long Legs share the internal name and Japanese name of the Beady Long Legs, respectively?". Baldy and Beady have different Japanese names, but Baldy's article once mistakenly listed its name as being the same as Beady's. This is an older trivia point, though, so should it be changed or kept as is? [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 08:35, January 2, 2024 (EST)
:If a trivia point has a mistake and isn't easy to fix, it's fine to remove it entirely. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:31, January 2, 2024 (EST)
 
== Draven's suggestion ==
 
Did you know that the only Pikmin game where the music continues to play during the countdown to sunset is Pikmin 3? {{unsigned|Draven}}
:This is not true, as the music plays during the countdown in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''. In fact, ''Pikmin 4'' is the only game where it doesn't. That could make a trivia point, but I don't think it's interesting enough for this template. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:31, January 2, 2024 (EST)
Here’s a better one I just found - When a swooping snitchbug picks up a purple Pikmin, it will immediately fall to the ground! [[User:Draven|Draven]] ([[User talk:Draven|talk]]) 14:22, January 3, 2024 (EST)
:I don't think this is true in most games, just in ''Pikmin 4''. But if the game was specified, this could be a good trivia point. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 03:12, January 5, 2024 (EST)
The hidden murals in ''Pikmin 3'' remain visible during side story missions

:I don't think this is notable enough for this template. Also, for a trivia point to be used here, the fact needs to be documented on an article. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 16:15, January 7, 2024 (EST)
 
== Some of my ideas about pikmin 4 ==
 
Did you know that...
*...''[[Red Pikmin#Trivia|Red Pikmin]]'' will always be the recommended type if It's the only [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] discovered?
*...when {{p4}} tells the player to mash {{button|switch|b}}, they can also mash {{button|switch|a|switch|x|switch|y}}?
*...the [[sprinkler]] in ''[[Below-Grade Discotheque#Trivia|Below-Grade Discotheque]]'' is an actual water [[hazard]]
I also think that instead of the headline saying "did you know..." and the rest starting with "...that", the headline should say "did you know that..." and the rest should start with "...". I also think that instead of linking to the page It{{'s}} about, it should link to the section It{{'s}} about. [[User:Mama09001|Mama09001]] ([[User talk:Mama09001|talk]]) 16:41, June 18, 2024 (EDT)
 
== PopitTart's Suggestions ==
 
 
* ...that despite closely resembling a {{w|Nintendo Entertainment System}} controller, the [[Life Controller]] is actually an {{w|NES Classic Edition}} controller?
* ...that the [[Utter Scrap]] has a full label with a "One-Up" logo and "250ml" text?
* ...that {{p3}} initially had purple flowers like those of [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] in its logo, but were changed to red-orange before release?
* ...that the concept which would eventually become {{p1}} was originally pitched for the {{w|Nintendo 64}}?
* ...that the name "Pikmin" derives from the Japanese word "ippiki", meaning “one small animal”?
* ...that [[Louie]] is given 2 different titles when collected by the [[S.S. Drake]]: [[Hocotatian]] and [[Food Thief]]?

== Chazmatron’s Suggestion  ==
 
* …that it is possible to reset the [[fire starter]]s timer by throwing it on to a [[Fiery Bulblax]], [[Scorchcake]] or a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]?
* …that the wind from a [[Puffy Blowhog]] can put out a Pikmin on fire?
