=== Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch) ===
{{Transcript|This item came from the personal treasure hoard of a massive Pikmin-devouring spider. The whole cave was crawling with all kinds of fearsome creatures. I decided to name that eerie cave the Citadel of Spiders. The ship can't stand bugs... Whenever I ask it to store a specimen for salvage, it threatens to stage a mutiny!|block=y}}

*The Key bears a [[Reference|striking resemblance]] to the [[mariowiki:Key|keys]] in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'', which open [[mariowiki:Keyhole|keyholes]] leading to secret stages.
*The Key bears a striking resemblance to the [[mariowiki:Key|keys]] in [[mariowiki:Super_Mario_Bros._2|Super Mario Bros. 2]], which were guarded by [[mariowiki:Phanto|Phanto]] masks, or the keys in [[mariowiki:Super_Mario_World|Super Mario World]], which opened [[mariowiki:Keyhole|keyholes]] leading to secret stages.
*In his journal entry for The Key, Olimar calls the [[Beady Long Legs]] a "Pikmin-''devouring'' spider", even though the creature cannot devour Pikmin, only crush them.
*Two [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused upgrades]] in ''Pikmin 3'' feature The Key on a pedestal.
