:'Superior level'?  And a location of nectar weed isn't much of a Did You Know, IMO.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
::Yeah, that one was pretty stupid >_> I just found out that when you find the Yellow Onion, there is some nectar weed in a place where no one would ever look. But it really is stupid. Yet, here's a better one:
*When the ship is playing the zoom in animation on the area select screen, you can cancel it by pressing '''B''' (You know, when you choose "yes" on "land on this area?".

That pearly clampclamps can still attack even after they're killed.[[User:Solar flute|Solar flute]] 15:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC)  

we need to change this template soon. [[User:Solar flute|Solar flute]] 15:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

:Well, Pearly Clamclamps can't be killed, so that's hard to know.  And change?  It's on a random thing.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I'm surprised this wasn't suggested:
*Ai no Uta actually outsold Pikmin 2. (Or is it Pikmin 1?) {<span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>} 14:15, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

:Added.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I'm cleaning the [[Easter Eggs and glitches]] page, and there are some stuff that are more tidbits than anything else. As such, I suggest that they are included in this template:
*The area in which the beast or treasure you view in the Piklopedia or Treasure hoard is found is the one selected on the map screen (where the rocket is hovering).
*The time signature on the current song on an above ground area will change according to the current leader. Olimar will make it 4/4ths or 3/4ths; and [[Louie]] or the [[President]] will make it 6/8ths or 9/8ths.

:Yeah, 'kay.  I won't put the second sentence for the second: these are meant to be quick and easy reading.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
::I understand. Not to mention that half of the people don't even know what that means. I don't fully understand that myself. {<span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>} 16:13, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

<small>DYK...</small> that the screen that mentions the area's name is just the loading screen? (This can be proven because in emulators, the area is loaded instantly, and the screen that shows the area's name never appears. Or it could just be on my computer.) {<span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>} 21:56, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

:Hmm, that applies to a ''lot'' of games, and isn't so much something you wouldn't realise as something you wouldn't think about.  If you actually wonder why those screens are so slow, it's pretty obvious.  Of course, if anyone else thinks it's worthy of the main page, add it.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::Meh, truthfully, I'm just trying to keep the facts fresh. It's a bit... well - I'll say annoying, but it's not quite what I mean - to see the same facts over and over. That one about the loading screen is poor, but just an attempt to add new ones. Though at the moment, this template isn't too stagnant, so adding it isn't necessary. {<span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>} 15:35, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

''...that the set of '''[[Scale]]s''' made up of four blocks in [[Perplexing Pool]] is actually two pairs?''
:This is '''very''' weak. Who didn't notice that at the start? If you place Pikmin on one scale, the other rises, and vice-versa. With this, one can see that there are 2 relations between the 4 scales, which means that they are 2 pairs. Anyone can figure that out, I didn't even had to explain it. We should remove this "fact". Also...
''...that via an '''"Emergence Cave Run"''', it is possible to repay the debt without reaching the [[Awakening Wood]]?''
:What does that mean, for sure? '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:18, 21 December 2010 (EST)

::I think the first is fine.  These are meant to cater to people new to the games, and I'm sure it's not obvious to some.  The second is defining an 'Emergence Cave Run', I guess - saying it's a run in which you repay the debt without unlocking AW (by returning enemy bodies to the Research Pod in Emergence Cave). <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

==Warning about the talk page==
[http://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title=Template:Did_you_know&curid=1832&diff=65111&oldid=65029] Shouldn't it be better to have a more readable note in <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> tags, instead of a comment in the source code?

:Why?  If they're editing, they're not necessarily going to see something not included any more than they would a comment like that.  I doubt they preview. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

== 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:PikminFanatic23/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)

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

:Some of these aren't that notable, or even convenient to add. But a few others I good. I'll add some of them to keep things fresh. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:19, 13 January 2016 (EST)
