The bottom part of this texture, resembling a drain pipe clogged with grease, is located under the [[Shower Room]]'s entrance, but it cannot be fully seen because the cave entrance covers most of the texture. It can be seen in the Piklopedia in the same spot, but even then it's warped by the water texture above it and the Piklopedia's bloom filter; not to mention that the level model is actually [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)#Areas|an almost completely different model]]. | The bottom part of this texture, resembling a drain pipe clogged with grease, is located under the [[Shower Room]]'s entrance, but it cannot be fully seen because the cave entrance covers most of the texture.

The top part of this texture is seen on the chipped parts of concrete/tile in the same area, but only portions of it can be seen at a time. In the two cases where it's facing upwards, the middle section is normally covered by a metal pipe. In the other case when it's used in the crack in the Shower Room's entrance, only a quarter of it is used, and part of it's at an extremely narrow slant, making it hard to look at clearly. | |||

Of special note is the last sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], which can actually show randomization in the sublevel visuals, since there are two different dead-end units that can be used for that sublevel. Normally, all of the player's attention gets diverted to defeating the [[Titan Dweevil]], carrying back the treasures, and exiting the cave, instead of the type of dead-end unit used when the sublevel was generated. | Of special note is the last sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], which can actually show randomization in the sublevel visuals, since there are two different dead-end units that can be used for that sublevel.

* There is a unused feature for [[electrical wire]]s in [[2-Player Battle]] to change color and element based on the Pikmin attacking it; Red Pikmin turn the electric wire's lighting red and set Blue Pikmin on fire, while Blue Pikmin turn the electric wire's lighting blue and apply the drowning effect to Red Pikmin.

* In ''Pikmin'', there is an unused feature that makes Pikmin get [[throw]]n higher the longer the Pikmin is held. This feature has no effect on gameplay since the normal height values and the "fully charged" height values are the same. In ''Pikmin 2'', these values still exist, and are still the same for the normal and full charge amount, but the code for the feature itself has been removed. | * In ''Pikmin'', there is an unused feature that makes Pikmin get [[throw]]n higher the longer the Pikmin is held.

** Interestingly, <code>82</code> appears after all of the ID numbers for the specific Candypop Buds, which are numbers <code>3</code> through <code>8</code>.

Additionally, the enemy that has the ID of <code>39</code> is set to spawn in a unused layout file for [[newtest]] and is referred to as "{{j|フエフキムシ|Fuefukimushi|Flute Player Bug}}" in comments, which is similar to the [[Antenna Beetle]]'s internal name.
