Decor Pikmin/Animations

When plucking a Seedling or when a Pikmin receives its Decor, a short discovery animation would play, based on the Pikmin and the decor it's wearing. You can replay the animation by going onto the Pikmin viewer menu, selecting a Pikmin to see its information and tapping on the pikmin.

• Red Pikmin: Jumps and waves its left hand.
• Yellow Pikmin: Leans forward and stretches backward with its eyes closed.

The sections of banana that each of the banana-wearing Supermarket Decor Pikmin fit together.

• The White Pikmin's slice fits between the Purple Pikmin's two slices.
• The Rock Pikmin has the bottom part of a banana peel, and the Winged Pikmin has the other end.

The banana Decor are referenced later in Pikmin 4, as the Slapstick Crescent (a banana treasure) in that game has the same sticker on it.
