[@yungmuney5903]

The burrowing snarrow is so baffling, I thought it was just a mistranslation quirk but no, they CLEARLY want us to know they exist, so where the hell are they? Like they even claimed that the snavians are one of the most diverse after grub dogs too, it's so weird.

[@philcarpal3926]

And they bring it up in every single game. It's been over 20 years and we still don't know what this thing looks like

[@healthy_stool]

It’s almost like an inside joke at Nintendo

[@nova_star.pk3]

​@e2011ugdia who knows? Maybe they will FINALLY bring it in pikmin 5.

[@justsomewheel9379]

Man because they kept talking about it in later versions I always thought the one in Pikmin 1 was the Burrowing Snarrow with a smooth body that drops pellets and later versions were the Burrowing Snagret with a scaly body that doesn't entirely disintegrate. I'll never make that mistake again

[@ImTheGuy]

@@philcarpal3926 Must be good at burrowing then

[@PJiggles]

Weird that the Watery Blowhog is "unused" in Pikmin 3 because it actually does show up and functions perfectly fine, but it's easily forgotten since it's only in the Formidable Oak and turns into golden goo to dissapear like all other enemies during the Plasm Wraith chase segment. But to be fair it also shows up in a couple Mission Mode stages Anyways congrats on becoming my new favorite channel Mr. Volatile Dweevil man

[@justsomewheel9379]

I'm sorry mr jiggles the dweevil man has demoted you to my second favourite channel

[@mitekid]

[@cnayluck1798]

It also shows up in Bingo Battle!

[@syweb2]

I think he was referring specifically to enemies that use Pikmin 2 models, so it's an early version of the Watery Blowhog.

[@silvcyllanjomena2478]

the unfinished ingame bubble blowhog: *why am i here*

[@seelcudoom1]

usuba may have indeed been intended to spawn the smokey prog, its form seems underdeveloped and fetal, so its possible it would have served as a sort of "stage one" to the smokey prog, popping out and flailing around do to just coming out of an egg, before morphing into a more mosntrous form of the smokey prog, or possibly replacing the egg entirely , as antlions are known to hunt via traps, thus this form serves to lure you in and think its easy prey till its true form is revealed

[@gboogie3257]

Out of all of these I’m surprised no one got the idea to just have a Worm as a enemy

@@garrymorgan2341 you are wrong, those are slugs not worms, you try again

[@churupinha3510]

i have a theory that the valley of repose was originally intended to have a 4th cave like the awakening wood and the perplexing pool, with the fiery bulblax as the boss, but it got cut somewhere during development. this could explain both why the fiery bulblax got repurposed as a regular enemy and why the frontier cavern is the only cave in the game to have two upgrades, with this additional one having been intended for the cut cave

[@volvoman5262]

That would explain random rocket fist in random mamuta in frontier cavern

[@spongepikmin8]

It makes sense. The only other creatures with the name bulblax are bosses. Though, it makes me wonder if the fiery bulblax was supposed to do more than just act like a normal bulborb

[@ZombieChicken1310]

The burrowing snarrow is constantly mentioned to bait us, even in Pikmin 4, so it basically is the Herobroine of Pikmin (if you know you know)

[@lasercraft32]

Herobroine? XD (seems you made a typo)

[@FamousJugglingGerbils]

Every patch of Pikmin 4 must now include “-Removed Burrowing Snarrow.”

[@ZSquaredPlusC]

4:06 The lost media gag continuing was goofy and all but i dont see anyone talking about how the background music gets noticably lower when he talks about it Spooked me a bit lol

[@dainnofgungnir]

It's always cool to see people discuss the unused stuff in Hey! Pikmin--I was one of the main people digging in the files for that game digging for unused content. You could honestly make an entire video alone just on the stuff in Hey! Pikmin's enemies since there is SO much.

[@superaxl675]

Very good video! I never actually see people talking about unused content on pikmin so this video was actually pretty interesting

[@cynicalbear8686]

2:39 actually the only female Shearwig to ever appear was in Hey Pikmin and it was a Boss and the Queen to the colony

[@chitinskin9860]

Though that one was also considered a different species that behaves almost nothing like standard shearwigs. Even the males act differently.

[@andreworders7305]

I can see why bait berries and it’s enemies were cut. Why would you lure out enemies you wouldn’t have to fight otherwise in a survival scenario?

[@mr.pishpish263]

nice, funnily a lot of these unused enemies have been repurposed or restored in other hacks. 1^2 for example uses Iwagens, Pikmin S beta whiptongues, etc. Though, to correct an inaccuracy at 10:43, the image used here is NOT what Iwadama looks like in the game files. This is the Models Resource rip, where whoever made it manually replaced the textures with Beady Long Legs original textures. Iwadama is instead a blue color with a pink top. There is footage of a partially working Iwadama somewhere as well I think

[@ShyGuyXXL]

3:30 GOOD GRIEF, HE'S NAKED!

[@EveTanooki]

I have a weird theory personally: The life on pnf-404 like bulborbs and such are common animals on every other planet, because Olimar doesn't seem particularly surprised by them, and it also makes sense why Olimar can compare them to creatures we don't see. It would also make sense to why Louie knows how to cook them, and why Olimar says "recent research" or something along those lines to the entries, like the dwarf bulborb. At least, that's my take on it.

[@monsterdong420]

I like the idea of the bubble blowhog tbh I think it's a clever recolor

[@sevyn89]

4:17 that yell made my soul fly into the multiverse

[@Aostrele]

The full list of unused treasures are: A disc of Pikmin, a disc of Mario Sunshine, a disc of Wind Waker, a disc of Luigi’s Mansion, and the complete works of William Shakespeare.

[@BulborbXD]

that thing breaks the game 1:42 💀

[@lechaosadmin]

I was just watching this video to remind myself of some enemies but you found info about more enemies than I knew before! Thanks for that

[@DrakeDoe]

I never thought I would go from enjoying someone's content to wanting to immediately unsubscribe, block them and make it so that they never show up on my KZbin feed again. But then you put a loud noise in your video waking me up from my nap.

[@arcticfluffyfoxy]

very nice to see someone who doesn't immediately hate on hey pikmin and actually does a full list of games

[@goldenguy7470]

I wonder if the burrowing snagrits counter part is a snagrit without fethers that can take damage everywhere but has more health

[@ItsMangoTape]

Wow. I didn’t know there were so many enemies that were LOST MEDI-

[@Mr.Feather130]

*Luigi.Exe scream intensifies*

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

Kakureimo and "Black twerking tonguewhip bulborb" are my favorite unused demons from the pikmin franchise.

[@Donchan1]

We need hole blocker in pikmin 5

[@protocetid]

A two year development cycle is only short when compared to the rest of the Pikmin games. A new Pikmin probably always took long because I suspect they used to be low priority passion projects, they were the lowest selling of the major Nintendo IPs until Pikmin 4 did respectable numbers. A hastily made game can be filled to the brim with prototype material because the developers don’t have time to finish what they want to include and safely wipe out the unused data.

[@nintentwins1867]

The Luigi legit jumpscared me lmao

[@yeetlejuice7181]

i think it's worth noting that the old flighty joustmite has a pure white body, which makes me think of the cloaking burrow-nit, an enemy the joustmites pretty much replaced in terms of functionality. maybe joustmites were originally meant to look a lot more like burrow-nits (or even WERE just straight up burrow-nits) and then the design changed?

[@liamthecrusader5056]

finaly LOST MEDIA

[@prism182]

iirc the iwadima dose have a few animations in the game files allthough no one has uploaded them anywhere, also it has 2 other varriants one where it is tinted purple and one where it is tinted pink (kinda reminds me of the groovy longlegs...) also it is likeley an early version of the Quaggled Mireclops, where you need to attack its legs and then once its head falls you attack that, especialy the attack of the mireclops smashing its head into the ground makes me think that the iwadima is an early version of it

[@cyanideOwO]

yeah they're lost media

[@Kirbyfan7209]

There was an enemy that appears in pikmin 2, but doesn’t have anything on the internet to make any details. It, er, they, are used in the last area, to give late players a huge boost, giving loads of ultra spicy spray and the other.

[@volvoman5262]

Have you ever tried typing On google ujadani?

[@Banjawmsm]

Fun fact: in pikmin 251 the burrowing snarrow appears

[@fradonalds9549]

I’ve always thought that’s it been a missed opportunity to include an electric-eel like enemy/boss

[@Iateabombrock]

Ayyyy he’s back i thought you were dead

[@Danerboots]

I am now gonna called the yellow bulborb Bumblebeeborb

Stuffed Bellbloom gang here, unironically one of my favourite designs. Also the sound effect it makes when it jumps is so whimsical.

Ah yes, Pikmin Tree, my favourite game.

[@Cheese_lover556]

I love pikmin tree deluxe

[@MothdryXD]

finally a pikmin unused cintent video that has it ALL

[@Minty_Meeo]

It's funny to me how that one cropped image of Usuba in T-pose has basically the definitive picture of it. It makes sense, being on TCRF.

[@erikhernandez-robledo8433]

6:32 It more resembles one of those phosbat pouches or something. Maybe originally they wanted phosbats.

[@Intermediatepeter]

What's the name of the song at 4:30

[@prism182]

actuily the buriko can allso appere as white in some areas (probebly depends on area lighting?) and also acts more like a male varriant of the swarming sheargrubs with how it scuttles around in circles verry quickly, but instead of leeching on fruits to grow bigger it grabs onto the backs of bulborbs to act as a shield for the borb and for its own protection, i think it can be knocked off with bombrocks tho

[@PugPilotG]

Lots of the ideas from the files look great and I actually wish they could have finished them But Some on the other hand... What???

[@BigHailFan]

The unfinished antennae beetle was going to be used for battle mode where you could summon it on your opponent from the cherry wheel but it wouldn't affect you.

[@elliotCloud-f6d]

Aw man Maltigi disc and hole blocker were deep cuts gonna need them in Hey! Pikmin 2 with amiibos 😱. In all seriousness amazing video there were so many facts I'd never seen before and I'm very shocked at how many enemies were cut in Hey! Pikmin. Absolutely love the content and thanks for the good stuff.

[@cynicalbear8686]

Pikman Tree my favorite game

[@andreworders7305]

7:52 well that’s….completely nonsensical. Also, if it was made by a different studio, are they named in the credits?

[@imonlyhereforpikmin]

Eighting was in charge of the Deluxe port

[@Mr.Feather130]

Ngl i would love to see some scrapped enemies being brought back in Pikmin 5

[@jwechols86]

I believe that the burrowing snarrow just was the original name of the snagret and it was changed then they put it in as a joke. That or they can’t come up with an idea for a new snagret I always thought it would be a flying variant

[@RockyRoad_PikTube]

The female sherwig is in Hey, Pikmin

[@andreworders7305]

2:53 2 years seems pretty standard-to-long for a dev cycle back then, maybe just less-so for Nintendo.

Can the Water Blowhogs be counted as unused since they were (admittedly only twice) used in Pikmin 3’s final level

[@gigglenose1990]

the ending of this video is a peculiar experience

[@omnislasher99]

Why is it sometimes you can say "three" but then other times you say "tree"?

It’s interesting that a Luigi mansion disk was gonna be in a game since Luigi mansion has a Pikmin 1 trailer with beta footage.

[@Yayazen18]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!!

[@leifcasanova3097]

I feel like fiery Bulblax would be the “boss” of emergence cave, like it makes sense to throw them in there as all you got are red pikmins

[@leifcasanova3097]

I actually would like it more if they used them as a mini boss much like snagret in awakening woods and valley of repost. So yeah makes sense to give boss icon

[@kasakgaming1721]

If he keeps up this lost media gag then I think his life will become lost media!!!!!!! AAGGAHGAHAGAHAGAG!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sandromatic]

From my understanding its seemingly a feature of unreal engine to purge anything that isnt actually referenced, at least seemingly. Idk ive seen it many times where a game series switches to unreal engine and theres no unused content sitting around in the game anymore.

[@TheRealBatabii]

Sometimes he says three and sometimes tree?.

[@saket9083]

Did you hear the rumors of there might be a hole blocker spin off game in the works
