In an early build of the game, the [[lock-on]] feature would cause the camera to enter a tilt-shift mode to focus only on the creature, which would be highlighted in blue. The name of said creature was then displayed in simple blue text above it | In an early build of the game, the [[lock-on]] feature would cause the camera to enter a tilt-shift mode to focus only on the creature, which would be highlighted in blue. A simlar effect would appear in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''. The name of said creature was then displayed in simple blue text above it. This was greatly changed for the final game, in which the scene is covered by a {{w|vignette}} effect, and the name is displayed in a box in the lower right corner, surrounded by [[Koppaite text]]. With the [[update]] released on {{date|29|May|2014}}, the lock-on mechanic featured two new images on the left side of the screen. One shows which [[Controls|control]] makes the Pikmin charge, and the other shows how to cancel the lock-on. | ||
