Unused content

Some unused content is left inside the final version of some Pikmin games. There is 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.

Pikmin

Debug menu

A menu written in Japanese with several debugging features is present in the game. Each option has a value, and pressing the A button will activate the option, with the specified value. The options, in order, display the following:

• Title screen. 0 means the Challenge Mode option won't be visible. 1 means that option is present.
• A set of Voyage Log entries. Set #19 is untranslated for some reason.
• Save 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.
• Ship log selection screen.
• Unlocked Voyage Logs. Acts weirdly.
• End of day screen.
• Pause menus. 0 is during a regular adventure, 1 is during challenge mode.
• Final statistics.
• Title screen without background.

Enemy Reel

The Enemy Reel shows some enemies in places where they can't be found in the final game, as well as areas that look a bit different. The Enemy Reel was probably recorded before some of the levels' layouts changed.

• The Goolix appears in The Forest Navel
• The Mamuta appears in The Distant Spring
• The Extraordinary Bolt along with the Positron Generator appears in the backround of The Distant Spring

Additionally, the Swooping Snitchbug entry appears after the Fiery Blowhog. Seeing as the reel is otherwise organized alphabetically, this could mean that the original plans for the Swooping Snitchbug's name were "Flying Snitchbug", or something similar.
