There are a lot of jokes about the {{w|Philips CD-i}} games starring Nintendo characters, mostly because of their debatable quality and really bizarre [[cutscene]] styles.

With the brief resurgence of the infamous ''[[mariowiki:Hotel Mario|Hotel Mario]]'' as a meme,{{cite web|http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hotel-mario#sudden-hotel-mario|Hotel Mario|Know Your Meme|retrieved={{date|24|March|2018}}}} particularly the part of the opening cutscene where Mario and Luigi are walking into the Mushroom Kingdom, the editorial staff got together to discuss the possibility of remaking the cutscene, but with ''Pikmin'' characters and themes. The idea was to keep the same weird "MS Paint-like" style and goofy nature of the original, but with as much content remade as possible to match the ''Pikmin'' universe. | ||
In this new cutscene, [[Captain Olimar]] replaces Mario, [[Louie]] replaces Luigi, Bowser is replaced by the [[Emperor Bulblax]], which could be considered Olimar's top antagonist in his first adventure, and the plot starts with both explorers talking about how [[the President]] invited them for a vacation, much like how Mario and Luigi are invited to a picnic by Princess Peach. Eventually, they notice a letter by the President, which was actually written by Bowser in the original. The letter explains how their vacation was replaced by a mission to repay the debt, very similarly to {{p2}}'s main plot point. The letter draws some more parallels with the ''Hotel Mario'' scene, like the captive ship in the [[All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks]] and the captive princess in the Koopa Hotels. After this, the part where Mario explains that the player can read the manual to get help with navigating the hotels is replaced with Olimar explaining how the player can read the enclosed [[data file]] for help on how to control the Pikmin. | In this new cutscene, [[Captain Olimar]] replaces Mario, [[Louie]] replaces Luigi, Bowser is replaced by the [[Emperor Bulblax]], which could be considered Olimar's top antagonist in his first adventure, and the plot starts with both explorers talking about how [[the President]] invited them for a vacation, much like how Mario and Luigi are invited to a picnic by Princess Peach.

In the end, the entire cutscene was rebuilt, low audio quality and everything, and the only thing that has not been changed is the letter song. The core of the joke is just the video itself, but it also made sense to create a fake article about how this cutscene for a new ''Pikmin'' game got leaked. | In the end, the entire cutscene was rebuilt, low audio quality and everything, and the only thing that has not been changed is the letter song.

The concept behind these entries were that some would be informative of the character's nature, some would expand on Olimar's life, and some would be funny misinterpretations of the characters's actions and looks, similar to how the captain's journal entries in the canon games work. | The concept behind these entries were that some would be informative of the character's nature, some would expand on Olimar's life, and some would be funny misinterpretations of the characters's actions and looks, similar to how the captain's journal entries in the canon games work. | ||
