Pikmin 2 has quite a vast amount of unused content inside the disc. There is unused content about all sorts of aspects in the game, like enemies, areas, textures, text, and more.

Unused graphics

A dummy Piklopedia icon can be found amidst the regular Piklopedia icon textures, in the game's files. Presumably, it was used during development to identify enemies with no icon at the time.

Unused scenes

Much like in the first game, each Onion was to be found dormant, and had their own "boot up" cutscene. {{#ev:youtube|v=Qs4GbCKMgZs}} {{#ev:youtube|v=dMJdjmYkGD8}} {{#ev:youtube|v=rTiI4y87O9o}}

Unused treasures

There are some unused treasures in Pikmin 2's game data. Some of them include the disks for Japanese Nintendo GameCube games: Pikmin, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Mario Sunshine.

Pikmin 2-e

Main article: e-Reader.

The Japanese version of Pikmin 2 has e-Reader compatibility. Although this was removed for the overseas versions of the game, the menus are still present in the game's files.

Other

  • In Pikmin, there is an unused feature that makes Pikmin get thrown higher the longer the Pikmin is held. The future has no effect on gameplay since the normal height values and the "fully charged" height values are the same. In Pikmin 2, these values still exist, and are still the same for the normal and full charge amount, but the code for the feature itself has been removed.
