==Green Onion==
== Unused graphics ==
The green onion is a icon found in the Pikmin 4 radar map textures, seeming to be for either a unused Pikmin type, or [[Glow Pikmin]].
=== Green Onion ===

[[File:Radar icons P4.png|thumb|right|355px|A cropped image of the radar icons to focus on the Green Onion.]]
This is the green onion icon.
In a spritesheet containing various icons for the [[radar]], there is an unused icon for a light green [[Onion]] after the other Onion types. It is unknown what it might have represented.

==Bean Pikmin==
=== Save file images ===
Bean Pikmin are a type mentioned multiple times within Pikmin 4's code, being a unused Pikmin type. These Pikmin may be associated with the green onion, but it is not confirmed. Below is a image of the Bean Pikmin being mentioned in Pikmin 4's code.
In the folder for the images of areas used on the [[saved game selection menu]], which contains images for all the [[night expedition]]s, there are unused images for night expeditions set at [[The Central Flame]] and [[The Maple Bridge]] in the [[Giant's Hearth]] and the [[Primordial Thicket]] respectively, which do not have night expeditions unlike most bases. Oddly, these images focus on the [[Lumiknoll]]s more than the night expedition save file images that are used, which show more of the area around them. The [[Distant Summit]] base in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], which also doesn't have a night expedition, does not have an unused image.

Save file images[edit]

In the folder for the images of areas used on the saved game selection menu, which contains images for all the night expeditions, there are unused images for night expeditions set at The Central Flame and The Maple Bridge in the Giant's Hearth and the Primordial Thicket respectively, which do not have night expeditions unlike most bases. Oddly, these images focus on the Lumiknolls more than the night expedition save file images that are used, which show more of the area around them. The Distant Summit base in the Sun-Speckled Terrace, which also doesn't have a night expedition, does not have an unused image.
