Hey! Pikmin
Stuff relating to Hey! Pikmin
Spark dandelion
The spark dandelion is a small tool that lights up when Yellow Pikmin are thrown at it. When activated, it will hold the Yellow Pikmin in place as it lights up an area around it, allowing for Bloominous Stemples to bloom. The spark dandelion will immediately be turned off once the Yellow Pikmin are whistled at.
The name comes from the Japanese Hey! Pikmin guidebook, where it was given the name スパークタンポポ? (lit.: "Spark dandelion").
Locations
- Ravaged Rustworks
- Space of Silence: The only spark dandelions in the game appear here. They are found in the room containing the Silence Breaker, where they act as electrical tools that the player has to use in order to activate nearby Bloominous Stemples and reach the treasure.

Dash (ダックス?, lit.: "Dachshund") is a leafling castaway introduced in Pikmin 4. He is always the first leafling from a Dandori Battle to be cured.
Appearance
By default Dash wears a dull white space suit with green sleeves and white gloves. He has short hair, a round nose, and two large eyes with visible pupils.
Dash's spacesuit will instead be colored red if the Rescue Corps selected color is also green. His hair color is dependent on the color of the leafling that turned out to be him when cured.
The Rescue Officer can reproduce Dash's appearance with the following options:

Talk to Dash for the first time. |
“Wow... I've been drawn to caves for most of my life, but I haven't run into danger like this in a long time.”
“My life's quite precious to me... Thanks for helping. After all, I can only poke around in caves if I'm alive, right?”
“Oh, I should introduce myself... I'm Dash. I've explored all over the universe, thanks to my family's deep pockets.”
|
Talk to Dash for the second time. |
“The captain warned me that she'd be very angry if I got stranded again, so I can't go explore any caves.”
“Oh, hey—I just had the best idea! Starting right now, I'm going to recognize you as my top... well, only... pupil!”
“I need you to explore the caves around this planet on my behalf. You'll have to make it through them all the way to the exits.”
|
I'd like to start by seeing what kinds of skills you have. Make your way through 5 caves, and report back. | |
I can't tell you how disappointed I am not to be able to do this myself, but I've got high hopes for your tenacity. | |
Be very careful around the creatures here. You can't explore more caves for me if you don't make it safely back to the surface! | |
Wow! I knew I saw promise in you. I'm a great judge of caving potential. Next, try making your way through 10 caves. | |
You, my star pupil, are making great progress to support my life's work! | |
There may be a lot of danger, but isn't that just part of the thrill of getting to explore caves?! | |
You keep up an impressive pace when you explore! For your next target, how about... 15 caves? | |
Listening to your reports after you explore each cave gets me itching to dive back underground myself. | |
If you start to feel unsafe, go back to the surface for a while. Knowing when to quit is essential when you explore caves. | |
You really seem to understand the true "spirit" of caves now! For your final effort, make your way through every cave! | |
It sure does seem like this planet has a remarkable variety in its many caves. | |
The caves here are full of mystery and adventure, with creatures and treasures that point to a fascinating culture! | |
It seems I do have excellent judgment. You really are a top-notch pupil, both in name and reality! | |
In recognition of your great achievements, I'd like to offer this phrase I keep in mind as parting words to you. "You can always find me in the pits!" I hope we get a chance to explore some caves together one day. | |
You seem to be traveling through those caves at a good clip. Drop your latest report on me. | |
I want to help you discover the "spirit" of caves. You should continue your endeavor to explore even more of them. | |
What's this?! You've already completed your travels! Whoa! You're miles ahead of what I was expecting. | |
My title of Cave Researcher feels even more mediocre in the face of your great achievements. You've done amazing work! | |
I see you've already made your way through several caves. I would expect no less from my star pupil! | |
Your attitude... the way you take on these caves so enthusiastically... It's like when I first discovered the underground world. | |
About that "Industrial Maze" matter you reported... That sounded extremely interesting! The caves repeatedly show evidence of intelligent life-forms that evolved in an entirely different way from us. Machinery that keeps working forever, floors that float in the air... It sure does stir the imagination! | |
When I heard your report about the Secluded Courtyard, I was moved by the beauty of the silence you described. White sand spread out with a pattern in it. Hard botanical cylinders arranged here and there. There even seems to be significance to how the flat rocks are lined up... These are traces of a civilization we don't know. | |
Among the many caves you've been to, my sense of aesthetic is most drawn to the Seafloor Resort. The marine-blue water, the expansive sandy beach, the beautiful, strange, and sometimes dangerous aquatic creatures... The constant sound of flowing water must've been peaceful as well. | |
The building-block clearing like out of a fairy tale, the pastel-colored floor that creates a tranquil and bright mood... Thriving giant mushrooms to jump and play on... It does feel dreamy, like the name Dream Home implies. It shows the playfulness possible when a culture matures... This cave really stokes one's inner adventurer and poet! | |
The Mud Pit you reported on... a lake of poisonous mucus where spores and mycelia are interwoven. I'm so jealous that you got to explore that cave and get all sticky and mucky hiking through it! After all, the more hardship, the bigger the sense of accomplishment when you make it to the end! | |
The caves here are full of mystery and adventure, with creatures and treasures that point to a fascinating culture! | |
Talk to Dash while playing as Oatchi. | This is embarrassing to admit, but I've been stranded in caves countless times, only to be saved by Rescue Pups like you. |
Talk to Dash while playing as Oatchi. | I live my life bouncing from adventure to adventure, so sadly I can't have a dog. |
Talk to Dash while looking like him. | A few years ago, I was diving in a cave made of a mirror-like substance. Wherever I looked, I saw countless copies of myself. You and I look so much alike, it brought back memories from that eerie experience. |

Only a very confident designer would waive through issues like bright-red warning coloration and a tendency to sleep in broad daylight. There's no way a frontal assault on this thing will work, so we have to get creative. I'm thinking we should hit its back hard while it sleeps, or maybe target those thin-looking eyestalks.”

On the surface, they are harmless as long as you do not approach them and they remain asleep. Even if they are awakened, they won't follow you very far. The same is true when they appear underground, but they will wake up if another creature comes in contact with them. While it is sleeping, you can kill it by going behind it and throwing a large number of Pikmin at it in rapid succession.”

“A colorful Bulborb with white spots on a red abdomen. Being nocturnal, it sleeps during the day, but it is ferocious and will swallow whole anything it sees. The creatures in the Grub-Dog family are at the top of the food pyramid.
○ What is the Grub-Dog family?
They were named Grub-Dogs because of the way they walk on two legs like space dogs.
Feature #1: Nocturnality
- It sleeps during the day and does not wake up unless its territory is entered, but it becomes active and searches for prey around sunset.
- (Image text:
- "(Day) Sleeping"
- "(Night) Eyes glow red")
Feature #2: How it recognizes other members of the same clade
- As it grows, the body color becomes darker, and it is recognized by the spots that appear on its abdomen.
- (Image text: "Larvae without spots are sometimes preyed upon")
Feature #3: Large eyes
- The eyeballs become large in order to catch faint light at night. Because of this, the eyelids cannot close completely, and it blinks by stretching and contracting the well-developed iris.”
“紅色の腹部に白い斑紋が色鮮やかな、デメマダラ。夜行性のため昼間は寝ているが、獰猛で目にしたものは何でも丸飲みにしてしまう。イヌムシ科に属する生物は、生態ピラミッドの上位に位置している。
○イヌムシ科とは?
宇宙犬のように二足歩行をする様子から、イヌムシと命名された。
特徴 その1 夜行性
- 昼間は眠っていて、縄張りに入らない限り起きることはないが、日が沈む頃に活発になって獲物を探し回る。
- (Image text:
- (昼)眠っている
- (夜)目が赤く光る)
特徴 その2 仲間の見分け方
- 成長するにつれて体色が濃くなっていき、腹部に浮き上がる斑紋で仲間と認識する。
- (Image text: 斑紋がない幼虫は餌食されてしまうこともある)
特徴 その3 大きな眼
- 夜間のかすかな明かりを捉えるために眼球が大きくなっている。その影響でまぶたを完全に閉じることはできず、発達した虹彩を伸縮させて瞬きする。”

Bulborb is a creature of the Oculus genus. It'll try to swallow anything it sees, sometimes resulting in Pikmin being munched on. It's nocturnal, so you can find it sleeping during the day, looking cute.”
