==Trivia==
*There are some changes to the American/NTSC version of Olimar's logs that condradict established facts from earlier ''Pikmin'' games:
**At several points, Olimar mentions finding gold, referring to the metal, even though Olimar's notes on the [[Lustrous Element]] establish this rare metal doesn't exist on Hocotate.
**Olimar doesn't recognize the Cosmic Drive Key as being an ignition key for jumping to super light speed (Notes on the [[Gravity Jumper]]), even though Koppaites and Hocotatians have very similar looking ways of space travel.
*Olimar calls [[Hocotate Ship|the Ship]] "Hocotate Ship" in the American version, while he simply refers to it as "the Ship" in the European version.
