Some '''unused content''' is left inside the final release of some [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. This can range from debugging tools used by the developers, to entire [[enemies]], textures, or other assets that got cut entirely. This information can help understand what sort of content was [[Prerelease information|meant to be included]] for the final game.


Some '''unused content''' is left inside the final version of some ''Pikmin'' games. There is [[Prototype information|information about prototype content]], but this is a list of content that is inside the games' files, and isn't used in a regular playthrough.
The following pages exist with information about unused content:


==Pikmin==
*'''[[Unused content in Pikmin|Unused content in ''Pikmin'']]'''
===Debug menu===
*'''[[Unused content in Pikmin 2|Unused content in ''Pikmin 2'']]'''
{{stub}}
*'''[[Unused content in Pikmin 3|Unused content in ''Pikmin 3'']]'''
A menu written in Japanese with several debugging features is present in the game. Each option has a value, and pressing {{button|gcn|A}} will activate the option, with the specified value. The options, in order, display the following:
*'''[[Unused content in Pikmin 4|Unused content in ''Pikmin 4'']]'''
*[[Menu#Title screen|Title screen]]. 0 means the Challenge Mode option won't be visible. 1 means that option is present.
*'''[[Unused content in Hey! Pikmin|Unused content in ''Hey! Pikmin'']]'''
*A set of [[Olimar's voyage log|voyage log entries]]. Set #19 is untranslated for some reason.
*Saved game screen. Its value doesn't seem to do anything.
*A weird screen, possibly used to test sprites, effects and buttons.
*Memory card warnings. 0 and 1 don't do anything, 2 warns that the card cannot be used. 4 warns that it must be formatted.
*[[Menu#Data file selection|Ship log selection screen]].
*Unlocked voyage logs. Acts weirdly.
*[[Menu#Sunset|End of day screen]].
*Pause menus. 0 is during a regular adventure, 1 is during challenge mode.
*Final statistics.
*[[Menu#Title screen|Title screen]] without background.

===Others===
*There are 2 test blo files found inside <code>dataDir\screen\eng_blo</code>, "test.blo" and "test2.blo"
*account.blo contains some weird strings that don't seem to be used. They are "The sun has gone down, today's job is finished.", which appears twice, "starting pikmins", "pikmins now", "dead pikmins", "enemies defeated" and "collected items", which all appear twice, grouped. account2.blo seems to contain the real text for the results screen.
 
==Pikmin 2==
{{stub}}
 
===Unused graphics===
 
====Piklopedia dummy texture====
[[File:Piklopedia zzdummy.png|right|The dummy texture.]]
A dummy [[Piklopedia]] icon can be found amidst the regular Piklopedia icon textures, in the game's files. Presumably, it was used during development to identify enemies with no icon at the time.
 
====Unused scenes====
Much like in the first game, each [[Onion]] was to be found dormant, and had their own "Boot Up" scene. These cutscenes go unused, but are still present in the game's files.

===Unused treasures===
Some unused treasures exist inside ''Pikmin 2'''s game data. These treasures are actually disks of older Gamecube games: ''Pikmin'', ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', ''Luigi's Mansion'', and ''Super Mario Sunshine''.
 
==Pikmin 2-e==
{{main|e-Reader}}
The Japanese version of ''Pikmin 2'' has e-Reader compatibility. Although this was removed for the overseas versions of the game, the menus are still present in the game's files.
