This article or section is a short summary on unused content in Pikmin 3.
The Cutting Room Floor features more in-depth content.

Pikmin 3 does not have as much unused content in the disc as the prequels, but there is still a substantial amount.

Unused enemies

The following enemy data can be found in the /content/CMCmn/enemy, referring to unused enemies.

To note is that almost all enemies have a lockon.txt file that determines how the lock-on works. All used enemies use version 5 of the file format, but some unused enemies use versions 0 or 1. In addition, there is a block of health-related parameters, and it too has a format version. Used enemies use version 8.

kakureimo

kakureimo
Kakureimo 1.png
Appears in N/A
Scientific name Unknown
Areas None
Attacks Unknown
Front view.

kakureimo is a fat leech-like enemy. It has a purple body, yellow stomach along with yellow back stripes, and three green eyes on each side of its small head. Its mouth is circular and filled with jagged teeth, and it has two large antennae on its head. Size-wise, it's around the size of a Red Bulborb. 隠れ? is the stem of the verb 隠れる? which means "to hide", and いも? translates to "potato", although it is also part of the word イモムシ? (lit.: "caterpillar").

When it spawns, it pops out from underneath the ground. When there are no Pikmin or leaders nearby, it waddles around to explore a small area immediately outside of its "home" , but if one gets into view, it becomes alarmed and dashes to its original spot, where it burrows underground. After being left alone for a bit, it will reemerge and repeat the cycle. Given unknown rules, it may decide to stay underground until it's left alone, or it will cautiously poke its head out to survey the area. When it burrows, its health is entirely restored. Other than that, some parts of the enemy are unfinished, in that it has no particle effects, some animations are a bit jerky, and parts of its logic are missing, in that Pikmin can latch on to it while it buries and continue to attack it, even through the ground.[1]

Given how it acts the same as the moguraimo, it has a similar name to it, and sports a similar color scheme, it's safe to say that the two creatures are somehow related.

From analysis of the game files, the following can be concluded:

  • It has animations for dying, burrowing, moving, biting, chewing prey, swallowing prey, being carried, noticing prey, chasing prey, looking around, going to its original spot, and three unknown animations: lookout, lookin, and sense.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 0, and the health parameter data's format version is 2.
  • It is missing a cull_info.txt and dynamics.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • It has the ability to drop nectar upon death.

moguraimo
Pikmin 3 Ravenous Whiskerpillar.png
Appears in N/A
Scientific name Unknown
Areas None
Attacks Unknown

This creature bears a strong resemblance to the Ravenous Whiskerpillar from Pikmin 2. The internal name, however, is quite different: it used to be imomushi (イモムシ? (lit.: "caterpillar")), but is now moguraimo (モグライモ? (lit.: "mole potato")). Appearance-wise, it is slightly larger than before, and unless the texture mapping of the model is incorrect, its skin is mostly purple; besides that, its eyes are slightly larger, it has antennae, and its namesake whiskers are gone. In terms of behavior, it acts exactly the same as the kakureimo.[2] Given how it acts the same as the kakureimo, has a similar name to it, and sports a similar color scheme, it's safe to say that the two creatures are somehow related. However, due to its striking resemblance to an already-existing enemy, the model may just be a placeholder. The following can be observed from the game's files:

  • It has animations for dying, appearing, burrowing, moving, biting, swallowing prey, chewing prey, being carried, noticing prey, looking around, going to its original spot, and the unknown animations lookout, lookin, sense, and prowl.
  • It is missing a cull_info.txt and dynamics.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 1, and the health parameter data's format version is 2.
  • It has the ability to drop nectar upon death.

Crystal Wollywog.png
Appears in N/A
Scientific name Unknown
Areas None
Attacks Unknown

Data for a brown version of the standard Wollywog exists, but with a rock attached to its body. Its internal name is crystal_maro_frog ("Crystal Wollywog"), which implies that the rock is made of crystal. It is uncertain where exactly the rock or crystal would be attached to its body. Besides the coloring, it looks roughly the same as the Pikmin 2 Wollywog. The following can be observed from the files:

  • It has animations for dying, idling, washing its face, moving, turning, jumping, floating, falling, landing, being carried, and an unknown fail animation.
  • It is missing a cull_info.txt and dynamics.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 5, and the health parameter data's format version is 6.

Pikmin 3 unused Beady Long Legs.png
Appears in N/A
Scientific name Unknown
Areas None
Attacks Unknown

There is a model for the Beady Long Legs as it appears in Pikmin 2, size included, but its circular head is replaced with a large version of one of its feet. Presumably, it would've stomped on the ground using its head as well. With the model are two textures, which are the same as the Pikmin 2 one, but one is tinted blue and the other pink. On the image shown to the right, the Pikmin 2 texture was used for clarity. This creature's internal name is iwadama, meaning "rock orb". The Beady Long Leg's old internal name, damagumo, is now being used for the Shaggy Long Legs. The following can be noted from the game files:

  • It has an ai.txt file found only in some other unused enemies' data and on the Armored Cannon Larva's data, where it's also presumably unused.
  • It has animations for dying, landing, idling, shaking off Pikmin, and attacking.
  • It is missing a dynamics.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 1, and the health parameter data's format version is 2.

Pikmin 3 unused Male Sheargrub.png
Appears in N/A
Scientific name Unknown
Areas None
Attacks Unknown

A fat variant of a Male Sheargrub, around roughly the same size, too. It resembles a tick, and in a sense, the Ujadani. The texture that comes with the model is the same as the one in Pikmin 2. The internal name is buriko, and the used Male Sheargrub's name is ujinko_b, whereas it used to be ujib in Pikmin 2. It moves very quickly, and because of this, it has a hard time catching and eating Pikmin. It cannot damage leaders, and cannot get damaged.[3] Its color mapping isn't set up correctly, so it appears orange when alive, and turns white and purple if defeated with a bomb rock.[4] From examining the game's files, the following can also be noted:

  • It has animations for dying, getting squashed, moving, biting, being carried, idling, swallowing, and two unknown animations called caution and calm.
  • It is missing a cull_info.txt, dynamics.txt, and a lockon.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • The health parameter data's format version is 2.

Pikmin 2 copies

The following unused enemies exist in the enemies folder as well, but their model and textures are copies or near-copies of the Pikmin 2 files. They are also roughly the same size they were in that game.

Honeywisp
  • It functions identically to its Pikmin 2 counterpart, but despite the textures being the same, it looks more realistic in Pikmin 3. The egg it carries is the same as the regular Pikmin 3 eggs. The only known thing about its behavior is that it flies around and eventually vanishes.[5]
  • It has an ai.txt file found only in some other unused enemies' data and on the Armored Cannon Larva's data, where it's also presumably unused.
  • It is missing a cull_info.txt, dynamics.txt, and a lockon.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 6.

Emperor Bulblax
  • Its behavior is very incomplete. It simply repeats its tongue preparation animation constantly.[3]
  • It has an ai.txt file found only in some other unused enemies' data and on the Armored Cannon Larva's data, where it's also presumably unused.
  • It is missing a dynamics.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 1, and the health parameter data's format version is 2.

  • It is missing a cull_info.txt and dynamics.txt file, present in most other enemies' data.
  • It has an animation for burrowing itself.
  • The lock-on data's format version is 5, and the health parameter data's format version is 6.

Breadbug

This enemy's data is missing several files: anim_define.txt, cull_info.txt, dynamics.txt, lockon.txt, and params.txt. In addition, it has a panmodoki.txt file which is just a copy of coll_tree.txt. Because of this, no parameter information is known about it.

Armored Cannon Larva variants

The Armored Cannon Larva and Arctic Cannon Larva share the same archive. Inside it are parameter files for every version of the beetle, including unused ones. params.txt is the one used for the Armored Cannon Larva, and params_yuki.txt corresponds to the Arctic Cannon Larva (ゆき? means snow). The unused files are called params_fixed.txt, params_green.txt, params_red.txt (perhaps for the Decorated Cannon Beetle), and params_ruri.txt (るり? means Lapis Lazuli).

Other

In addition, the unknown and mostly-empty kokgamiegg "enemy" seems to have been made on accident, created instead of the used kokagamiegg (the Phosbat Pod), and tuyukusa is a mostly broken and smaller version of tsuyukusa, the Burgeoning Spiderwort. Finally, the fire geyser has parameter files for a bubble and a gas variant, suggesting the planned return of gas pipes and the addition of water geyser-like hazard obstacles.

The file /content/CMCmn/system/param_db.szs/generatorsave_db.txt has what appear to be respawn day paramaters for the game's objects. Inside the list, one can find the entries GasHiba, which is what the gas pipes in Pikmin 2 are internally called, MureBuka, an unknown object related to the Scornets (who have the internal name Mure), and Tamagumo, an alternative spelling of Damagumo, which is also present in the file.

Unused enemy parameters

Unused music

Two songs exist inside the game, but are unused. They are a "sad" and a "happy" version of the end of day theme, much like the ones in Pikmin 2.

Other

A closed NamaPongashi. From this video.
"NamaPongashi" open.
An open NamaPongashi. From this video.
"NamaPongashi" closed.

There is an unused Candypop Bud-like object named NamaPongashi, that kills Pikmin thrown in. It is purple when closed but white when open.[6]

Gas pipes were meant to return, as per the object called GasHiba. Like in Pikmin 2, only White Pikmin can survive the poison. [6]

There is also an unused black and white checkered box called TestBox.[6]
