An interesting fact about the paint tube treasures, they actually reflect the 9 types of pikmin in the game. And the further back a type was introduced, the more of the tube of paint is used up. So the red paint (red pikmin) is almost empty, the green paint (glow pikmin) is completely full.

5:05 It's worth noting that the specific game chosen and the location it is found in are a reference to the creature itself. The wave race disk comes from the waterwraith, which could be described as a racing wave of water. Also in the arena is Purple Paint, in reference to how Purple Pikmin are used to defeat the Waterwraith.

[@DPadGamer]

Ahhh, thats a really good point, I never even put that together

[@lobstercat]

I never even noticed that until now! this game's attention to details is insane!

[@m4cp0wer]

Most of the paints are in the same cave you find each Pikmin type, or at least the earliest cave you can find each. The amount of paint in each tube actually correlates to how long each type has been known about, with reds, yellows, and blues having nearly empty tubes, and ice and glows having nearly full tubes, with ice having slightly less in reference to them being announced earlier than glows.

[@abra_escaped]

I think every paint tube is found in the same cave you can first find each pikmin in, except for red and green of course

[@shadowrush001]

i'm honestly sad the game disc wasn't pikmin 2. a nod to the waterwraith, and Castle, origins.

2:28 I thought it was interesting to note that when you get the lullaby mechanical harp, the creature it's hidden in is a bulborb seemingly randomly hiding in some plants. In hindsight, that might've been a further nod to it being a reference to piranha plants

[@cardboardhouse253]

this could easily work for memory song because in pikmin 3 a new mechanic would be hiding from bulborbs in shrubs

[@BoulderWraith]

8:45 Thats actually a reference of Pikmin 2 It's what they sing when there's no treasures on the sublevel/area

[@GeloSceron]

Yes, it's confirmed that pikmin 3 happens after pikmin 4. This is through dialouge through the Koppaites, and game dialouge. Dialouge says something about "the population going up on koppai, and if it continues there will be a food crisis". So it's basically confirmed in the game.

[@TheUnknownsShow]

This has to be an alternate timeline, though, since the Koppaites independently discovered PNF-404 using their space drones at the beginning of Pikmin 3. If Pikmin 4 had happened earlier on the same timeline and there had already been Koppaites there, they would've already known PNF-404 to have exactly what they're after and they probably would've cultivated seeds from it before they were in danger of starving, which they say isn't an issue yet in Pikmin 4.

[@potatoe972]

[@lasercraft32]

I love that of all the iconic songs the Pikmin can sing... the Waterwraith theme is one of them! XD That song is a different kind of memorable, if you know what I mean.

[@AshWolf12]

The first time i heard it i only had blue pikmin and my first thought was "dang they're really traumatized"

[@UnicronicHerald]

I heard them humming it right next to the engulfed castle and was concerned for them having faced the demon that is the Waterwraith

[@dracodracarys2339]

that would imply pikmin have genetic memory, which has terrifying implications. they're born already remembering what it's like to die over and over again

[@lasercraft32]

@@dracodracarys2339 Orrrr... its just an easter egg and you're not supposed to think about it? 😅 The water wraith theme is in this game too, so maybe they just remember it from the Engulfed Castle (though I think they can sing it whether you've been there or not). Also... having them literally remember the song would imply that the music plays in canon, which I highly doubt.

[@SpecterVonBaren]

I was shocked way back when, after beating the water wraith and making it back to the surface, I read Olimar's synopsis of the creature and the fear I felt just seeing it the first time is the same as what he described.

From what I've noticed, the music boxes will actually speed up or slow down depending on how fast it's being carried I noticed this when picking up the Lullaby one with whites and realised that it was playing at a faster tempo, so i would presume carrying it with purples would slow it down instead

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

@@Teinve reused material is not a bad thing at all. sometimes assets, level design decisions, and mechanics don't need to be improved upon or replaced. if every asset and every mechanic is redesigned from the ground up, sequels take like three times as long. like, i'm sure they didn't make all-new animations for the pikmin walking around. dunno if you've ever played the dark souls games, but they reuse stuff all the time. there are animations from dark souls 1 that are used in elden ring, which came out nearly a decade later, and all of those games are excellent and recieve near universal praise

I like the implication that the Pikmin have heard the music before and are innocently humming it together. Also I think an argument can be made that the Pikmin recognising music is a sign they’re more sentient then we’re led to believe…

[@pepperonipizza8200]

Olimar makes a theory that ships crash so often because the of something the Pikmin do. The Pikmin do it because they’re stupid and want an “alien brain” who’s smarter to be their leader.

[@UnicronicHerald]

That’s actually kinda cute, makes my love for breadbug bois grow that is a YEAST of a discovery (I will find myself the door)

[@evanauclairprokop7023]

Here are some other cool things I noticed: If you make yourself look like any of the Castaways, They'll make a comment about how you look like Twins, each with unique dialogue. On the topic of Castaways, Talking to them while playing as Oatchi also has unique dialogue (I believe Olimar talks about his dog Bulbie as well). Not only does the room you first fight the Emperor Bulblax ment to be a look like the room you first fight him in Pikmin 2, The Treasure you find there also references the treasure you'd find in the same spot (Being the Gyoroid). In Olimars Field Log, Not only does he mention his "Bad Dream" where he perishes and the Pikmin put him in the Onion, he also Mentions he had a dream that one of his Colleagues put them in debt by eating there Shipment, A reference to how Louie ate the Golden Pikpik Carrots in Pikmin 2 and started the whole story (In fact Louie says in his Log that he really wants to eat some Golden Pikpik carrots, and he's just waiting for the right job). Now I might be crazy, but I believe Emperor Bulblaxes actually take more damage from Purple Pikmin then any other enemy, which is most likely a reference to how the Emperor Bulblax was an absolute Joke in Pikmin 2 because of Purples. And last but not least, I heard that if you collect every Treasure, the final value will end in 128, most likely a reference to Mario 128, a showcase on the Game Cubes software that would eventually become Pikmin, but I cannot confirm if it's true.

[@potatoe972]

Aren’t they taking more damage since purples just deal more damage in general? I think they have a 2x damage multiplier, while red have 1.5 and winged have 0.5.

[@pepperonipizza8200]

As for the Emperor Bulblax one, each enemy has a special value for how many Purple Pikmin stomps are needed to kill it. That’s how tankier enemies like the dweevils die in one hit from purples. So it may be possible that they coded the emperor to take far less stomps to kill then average for his health.

[@supremekirb]

I doubt the Mario 128 thing because that game didn’t really become Pikmin iirc. It was just Miyamoto making up a cute story (sane with the ‘ants in the backyard’ thing)

[@YanntastischGER]

Nintendo put so much love into the soundtrack! Not only are there cute references like the music boxes, it's the most dynamic it has ever been. Every area and dungeon has at least 10 different versions. Even some enemies and bosses have their own themes.

[@safebox36]

A note worth mentioning is that "daitoryo" can also mean "big man" or "boss". While the latter meaning is usually for the head of a department in a company, the former meaning is sometimes intended when used for political actors such as the head of a party or (rarely) a world leader.

[@DPadGamer]

Really? Huh, good to know

[@amuis5409]

No, daitōryō (大統領、だいとうりょう) only means a president as a political leader. It cannot be used for a head of party or a company, which is included in the meaning of English "president". A leader of a political party (政党) will be tōshu (党首、とうしゅ) and a leader of a company (会社) will be shachō (社長、しゃちょう) or kaichō (会長、かいちょう). Interestingly, the "President" of Taiwan is called Sōtō (総統、そうとう) using the same characters as the Chinese writing, and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (自由民主党) is called Sōsai (総裁、そうさい). Although there are exceptions like this, they are no examples calling other kinds of leaders as daitoryo.

[@safebox36]

​@@amuis5409 I said head of a department, not a company the character Ton from Aggrestuko was called a "daitoryo" in the subbed version but "director" in teh dubbed versio but he only ran one department of a larger company it seems like there's some debate as to when the term should be used in politics since it's prescribed to the head of the North Korean government, but his official title is "supreme leader" China and Cuba's leaders also get that treatment despite the official titles of "chairman" and "secretary" respectively being ceremonial in what's supposed to be a "leaderless system" it's still possible that the Hanafuda thing was a mistake one theory says that Yamauchi, who founded Nintendo, mistook the image for Washington but this seems unlikely so likely just a mistake on their part (like the one I made)

[@amuis5409]

@@safebox36 I haven't watched the show, but probably the case for Aggretsuko Ton (トン部長 buchō) was either a mistranslation or being sarcastic about his position. A head of a department, 部長、is usually never called as a Daitōryō. In the case of political leaders, it is often the case that there is a mismatch between English, Japanese, and the local language. At least for China, the terms for position names are read in the Japanese reading of the Chinese characters, so they are essentially the same.

[@DKQuagmire]

6:55 in someone's else video, in the files, the characters were named by the pikmin 3 cast. But there is the speculation that they scrapped the idea last minute and made the knockoff versions

[@nathanieljones8043]

Pikmin 4 is clearly an alternative timeline moss was not in Pikmin 1 or 2 and in Pikmin 2 olimar clearly meets Louie for the first time on hocotate when he comes back and loses his ship. So Louie can't be on pnf-404 at the same time olimar's original ship

[@krististarosta6736]

I thought the veterinarian and her crew look similar to Alph, Charlie and Brittany from Pikmin 3.

[@user-ph8un9nm9l]

when olimar first sees each kind of pikmin in olimars shipwreck tale he acts like hes never seen a pikmin before

[@TheOriginalEevee]

Love how they were able to make the Pikmin sing great past tunes but couldn't add actual good music, i miss the phenomenal Pikmin music

[@festyferny4543]

I *want* to disagree with you but you're kinda right. There's a lot of work put into the soundtrack, it's extremely cohesive and they have so many variants...but MAN, they aren't catchy or even memorable. BoTW soundtrack all over again

[@sldtyp0]

I love that the PIKMIN are traumatised by the water wraith

[@UniversalSketch]

The 6th song is actually Final Trial people think it's Leafy Showdown from Pikmin 4 because that song is based on Final Trial's theme.

[@YeethanFrog]

I thought that the first unidentified song was a different version of the end of day theme. The notes are a bit different but the melody is there.

[@MiOMio-zu3ky]

I forgot how cute Pikmin games are

[@brokeninfinitysonic1]

Pikmin 4 made me realized that koppaites are both Hungry and horny. After rescuing the vet team Yorke has 15 Siblings?!

[@deltaquarayza]

Fun Fact: If your Switch profile has a completed Undertale save, your Pikmin can hum Megalovania. This is definitely true.

[@Thegamer-li3pz]

the waterwraith is coming tune the pikmin sung was honestly telling the player "yo bro, the waterwraith is gonna be in this game in 2 different caves, so dont let us die dawg"

[@jackhumphries1087]

Actually, the hero’s hideaway version of the title screen replaces the sun speckled terrace version after saving captain olimar, no chance involved

[@DPadGamer]

It doesn't always show up, I was able to get footage of the sun speckled and hero Hideaway title screens by reopening the game a couple times

[@butchcassidy887]

I've heard people say the fifth song is Perplexing Pool from Pikmin 2. Imma be real, I don't hear it

[@victor-ng6hk]

others say is the credits theme of pikmin 1, but im not sure of that

[@disko567]

@@victor-ng6hkits the final trial

[@UnicronicHerald]

It’s the enemy roll call from the first game listen carefully

[@PeashooterTypes1234]

9:31 my favourite humming song.

[@MeowthRabanne]

The 5th song the pikmin can sing is one used in japanese Pikmin 1 commercials. I don't remember the name of it

[@Trevor10902]

i think its ai noi uta uta or something like that

[@UnicronicHerald]

@@Trevor10902yup it was used or the second game and outsold it as well

[@Bon_of_nightmares]

The Pigman singing the water wave song just give me nightmares because that dude was scary like what is he water

[@BaronSterling]

Technically there is a third Mamuta that you don't have to kill inside Olimar's Shipwreck Tale.

[@DPadGamer]

Oh? Thats good, glad at least one can be spared

[@BaronSterling]

@@DPadGamer Yeah. I found out when I killed it cause I didn't have the treasure gauge in that mode yet :')

[@kenji6492]

@@BaronSterlingwell at least you can always rewind

[@Alexgodofwar5662]

The mechanical harp (*MEMORY*) is a meta joke about Olimar getting kidnapped right after the game starts, which is naturally after the title screen where you hear the music in-game. plus the pikmin sing the music too which was stated by olimar. Just because olimar said future doesn't really mean is in the actual future

[@bobipineman]

the sixth song sound like some part of the final trial/the last day in olimar adventure(pikmin 3) the fifth it remember me the victory/key song song in challenge mode from pikmin 2 but I'm not sure

[@boisvert45]

So happy louie's "inedible, tastes like chicken" didn't get changed for the mamuta entry

[@dracodracarys2339]

It would be funnier if Oatchi gets knocked ovet when the Purples jump on top of him cause they're very heavy lmao

[@nickfox3326]

Those last two songs are the rally music when you rally your Pikmin in both 1 and 2 I think

[@Shandit_AJ]

Song 5 is the Final Trial. Song 6 is Dandori Battle

[@jennym.gutierrez315]

Also Its is kinda funny that the pikmin. Sing the waterwraith's song and surely it is the pikmin's survivors with ptsd

[@froggymasterog]

0:41 WAIT THAT’S SPECIAL?! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TO SHOW HOW FAR YOU’VE MADE IT IN THE GAME

[@bottledwaterprod]

I could be wrong, but I think that first unidentified song is a song that was used in Japanese marketing for the game back in the day.

[@charmayneheys3790]

6 is when you get something complete as Alf in pikmin 3 for example the bridge at the start of the game

[@rubyredstoneanimation]

3:02 i love song of storms

[@My-art-Rock]

Im such A Huge Pikmin Fan!

[@aaqilplays]

5:20 The cards are actually a decor pikmin type in Pikmin Bloom

[@HeartThief21]

As a small fun fact, Nintendo originally started as a playing card and dice production company before venturing into video games. So its history is rooted in more traditional game devices.

[@GideonGargoyle_it-they]

One of the treasures is a cookie that I swear comes from Yoshi's Cookie but I honestly don't know if that's a reference or even special in any way, or if the cookies in that game were like generic in Japan?? But I haven't seen anyone mention it and I'm going feral lol

[@FireLegendGames]

the fifth song is from the Pikmin 4 commercial “Hum with the Pikmin”

[@user-gu2gx2vz8q]

3:03 the song remindes me of that willy wonka song pire imagination
