Pikmin 3 Model Trivia

Hello! I'm Scruffy, and today I'm going to show you some interesting trivia about the amazingly detailed models in Pikmin 3! This game really pushed the envelope for the Pikmin series with its modeling and texturing detail, and its experimentation! I hope you enjoy it!
Here's the link to my Pikmin 2 sound effect trivia video!

The Drake alone having more polygons than the entire Perplexing Pool is a clear sign that the series skipped a console generation.

Fun Fact about the Plasm Wraith: The wraith's cubic core is based upon natural formations of pyrite that can occur in certain parts of the world. The cube of pyrite, or "fools gold" adds irony to Olimar's various video logs, where he claims that the wraith (or the material it is made of) is made of gold, and would likely be worth a fortune.

This kind of quality content is what KZbin should have always been

[@lunaluxray2564]

What if the cadypop buds are actually the final stage in life for a pikmin, their flower grows massive and they plant themselves in the ground, allowing pikmin that fall into it to become that candypop buds colour, and queen candypop buds are a further level of growth to that, maybe even growing into the onions later on

[@AlexPearson-jx4bp]

🤔

[@ShyGuyXXL]

So they brought back the Piklopedia in the Switch version, but not the ability to throw pikpik carrots. Now they just play pre-recorded videos of each enemy. Which would be nice, if it wasn't a replacement for the more dynamic and interactive version.

[@TheMarioManiac]

KZbin was really pushing for me to see this video and now I can see why

[@shroomkid133]

I love how you presented everything! Unlike other people, you actually added some humor to your explanations. I also like how the 3D models would kind of react to what you say, like the bulborb.

[@farissaadat4437]

Wow, you seem very capable at what you do. Your videos are always gems. You've done sound analysis and model analysis, how about an animation analysis? We've gotten a taste of it with this video. There are many games with amazing animation, Inside, The Last Guardian, Super Smash Bros (for Wii U). It would be intriguing to learn about the techniques used. Anyway, fantastic upload, hope to see more!

[@ScruffyMusic]

There's an idea! I'd need to study animation a little more before tackling an analysis of it, but that would be a neat project. Once I get the time, I would also like to start uploading more original animations here.

Pikmin 3: *Has incredible models and beautiful scenery* Also the actual Pikmin in the game: *triangular hands and feet and floating eyes* I guess some compromises had to be made to allow 100 Pikmin on the field at once, but it’s still a weird contrast.
