Talk:Water Dumple

If VoR ones are paler, it's likely due to the lighting. I will check, but I have a feeling all things appear paler there.GP 16:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't notice any different between PP/VoR ones. I'd have to take screenshots to be sure, but they'd have to be at the same time of day and I can't be bothered as it's just not important and likely what I said above.GP 19:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I was just minding my own buisness when these things started fallowing me. I mean come on I didn't no they could move. Nin10dude

This may be a little tiny thing: but didn't they have, like eyebrows in pikmin 1?--JohtoMaster1 22:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

1 pikmin kill

Can someone double check this for me? In Pikmin 1, I threw a single blue pikmin to the side of one and it jumped onto it's side. The dumpling was spinning in circles trying to get the pikmin, then jumped up and knocked it off. The pikmin had enough time to get back up and jump on it's side again to repeat the process. The pikmin never needed my help and eventually defeated it. The Exterminator 14:18, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Mmmmmm, you sure it isn't random? Not sure I can check it right now. I'm still busy with Metroid Prime Trilogy :P Snakeboss14

I got Inside Story :3 I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

@Exterminator:Same thing happened to me except in Pikmin 2 with a red...@Crys:FINALLY! How is it? @Snake:My Wii was taken away... :( --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

It rocks, but I hate that Fat Boss, after Bowser gets fat, y'know, fought him like 10 times already T_T Damn Lightning... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

LOL, you mean the Alpha Kretin thing made up of those blue moelcules. For me, it was actually the easiest boss. I hated those damn Calorites though. The boss is simple if you know its structure, because the red will turn to green and green to red. The hardest boss I have to say is going to be Junker, that dude was a bastard.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I always die on that stupid electrical attack... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Wow, sad. I can't help...--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I can jump over it, but almost always, no matter what I do, I get hit when Mario/Luigi come down... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Jump right when you see the electcity come out of him.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I do, rabbaflabbin' game I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Did your Wii got stolen? :( And I got M&L 3, too! Snakeboss14

Finally beat Kretin! I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

@Snake: No it got taken away: see Forum:Voice cast. @Crys: It's abotu freaking tim and with Wisdurm, hit the Magic Rod! Trust me!--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I will. I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

@Game: Too bad. Maybe when you get it back we can exchange friend vouchers. As for me, I'm doing OK, but Friday is the bimestral math exam! Snakeboss14

Oh GOD! *lights turn off and evil music starts to play* I had my history exam today and I think I did pretty well even though my idiotic teacher didn't teach us half the stuff because she's always flirting with this one student...SERIOUSLY!. O_o--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I bet this Teacher student relationship will go great! I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

She also has a big tattoo on her back shaped like a butterfly....*shivers*--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

*Cough* WHORE *Cough* I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Indeed!--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

What? 0_0 --Itsa me! Louie G. 17:19, 4 June 2012 (EDT)

sorry to crash the tattoo-wearing-student-loving-teacher thing, but what about my question? should we put it up, or is it just too random? The Exterminator

Someone will hafta check... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Like I said, it happened to me, but in Pikmin 2 with a red Pikmin, so I say that this myth is PLAUSIBLE!, but not yet ACCETED as I haven't tried that many times.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

i'm working on pikmin two right now, so i'll try it when i meet one. The Exterminator

Okay, but it happens semi-rarely though, but it's possible.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

So confirmed? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

We need someone else with both Pikmin games to see if the glitch works in both, to confirm Ex's and my theory.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

How is this a glitch? Unless I'm not understanding something, the Pikmin was lucky to never get eaten, which sounds like something that could happen with almost every enemy in the game. Miles. 18:46, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Hey yeah, this isn't a glitch... OMG rare moment, the mighty Miles talks! Oh all knowing Miles, when will humans grow gills? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

You're right miles, but it can't happen to just ANY enemy. Blowhogs shake 'n' bake, bulborbs are just to big, shearwigs eat then die, wollywogs simply squash, and dweevils use their explosions. You can try other enemies, but I doubt it'll work. Plus I never said it was a glitch, just a random thing. The Exterminator

Meh... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Those Are Whiskers Right?

In this concept art, the Water Dumple is portrayed with whisker-like objects growing above its lips. Those are whiskers right? I think they are because in the game's coding it's named catfish.PikminFile:Hairybulborb.jpg1254File:Specialpikmin.JPG

Yeah, they do have whiskers, because as you said, it's coding is catfish. You can also slightly see them in Pikmin 2, but I'm not usre about Pikmin 1. BTW, nice find.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I thought it was eating a stick...Falcoz 21:57, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

it's name in the code is; Catfish, sooo... VersionJay 17:44, 22 September 2010 (EDT)

Why doesn't this thing have eyes? --Itsa me! Louie G. 17:21, 4 June 2012 (EDT)

The images

Are the whisker things actually (more) visible in Pikmin 1? I know the artwork was associated with NPC! Pikmin when released, but I've heard no indication there are actual differences between Water Dumples in the two games. I see them both as images for the series, not the individual games.GP

That's how you're supposed to view them; the images of water dumples all belong on the water dumple article, and are otherwise unused. Using them twice works, but using it once for a different page doesn't make any sense. Blue Ninjakoopa 22:45, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Scooching Dumples

I'm not sure if it happens on the original hardware or if it should be mentioned anywhere in the article at all, but Water Dumples in Pikmin 2 seem to scooch forward every few seconds if a leader or their Pikmin are close to it but not close enough to cause it to give chase. I've seen it happen multiple times, but I want to make sure if anyone else has seen this behavior. My Wii is currently hibernating, as I call it. Otherwise, I'd check to see if this happens on my copy of the game. It also might be worth checking if Water Dumples do this on the New Play Control! version of the game as well. ~ Cheepy (talk) 

I just tried both on the GameCube and the Wii games, and I couldn't get them to move at all, even after a good 30 seconds. They sit in place completely oblivious forever, until I get close enough and they give chase; there is no middle-ground. I tried this on the Valley of Repose and the Perplexing Pool ones. — {Espyo^T} 10:01, December 13, 2020 (EST)

Strange... Maybe it's just a thing with Dolphin. Thanks for checking anyway, Espyo. ~ Cheepy (talk)
