During the idea stage of this year's April Fool's Day joke, [[Super Nintendo World]] was slated to open. The idea of creating a real article about the park and documenting the Pikmin cameos arrived, and due to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLSoCm5lV8E a helpful video] from Spencer at Universal Parks News Today, it became clear that Super Nintendo World has Pikmin scattered in all sorts of imaginative and varied locations. At some point, the idea of documenting ridiculous fake Pikmin cameos came up, and the staff team got to work. | |||
At first there was no clear direction – the idea was more to just grab random famous images off the internet, edit them to include some Pikmin, and finally figure out some way to pass them off as attractions in Super Nintendo World. Eventually though, the plan got a bit more organized, and instead of making the images outlandish, the aim was more towards photos of places that ''look'' like they could be Super Nintendo World attractions, at first glance. So some effort had to be put into the composition and editing, in order to fool some readers into thinking at least some of the images are real. | |||
In reality, for most photos, the Pikmin cameos were afterthoughts, since the real joke comes from editing images and coyly passing them off as real attractions. The final list included a nice balance between crazy and plausible, as well as a nice balance between effort and brevity. The list in the article was also organized to include the most probable "attractions" first, and get progressively more outlandish. To help hook the reader, the first image is even that of a real Pikmin cameo in the real park. | |||
Since documentation of the real cameos was a bit long overdue, the ''real'' [[Super Nintendo World|Super Nintendo World article]] was made after April Fool's Day. | |||
