THE PIKMIN ICEBERG

[@FernandoUrista]

The ULTIMATE Pikmin Iceberg is currently in the works! It's a remake of this Pikmin Iceberg video but with 200 entries, over 50 creators, and way higher quality! Note: Sorry about the missing audio during a part in the video. Had to be removed due to copyright issues.

I think it's far larger than Nintendo gives credit for. I mean, I'd have to bet it had similar following to zelda games prior to BOTW. That's what made us fall to the wayside, among numerous other factors; simply the lack of a new game for some time.

I'm surprised the Pikmin 2 e-Reader minigames weren't mentioned. They were packs of cards released only in Japan. As noted briefly in the video, they would show off different characters, enemies, and items (which is currently the only information and recognition of the Ujadani). However on top of that, they could also be scanned by a Game Boy Advance to play levels of a puzzle game. These minigames would involve plucking pikmin, moving pikmin to treasures, and creating paths for pikmin.

The Bad ending in Pikmin 1: You couldn’t get all ship parts, you die, and the pikmin bring you back The good ending in Pikmin 1: You go on vacation but crash on an alien planet, have 30 days to survive, use carrot hybrids to fight, get ww2 ptsd, go home only to find out your in debt, your ship gets sold, and your boss immediately sends you back to the planet. Wait, did I say the good ending?

[@vinniehatcher664]

I'd call it a neutral ending myself, as you don't die in the end, get to land on Hocotate in one piece... And wind up being sent back to Earth with perpetual life support, alongside his ne'er do well co-worker Louie

[@BendyTheToon]

Well,in the bad ending,olimar will probably never get to see his family ever again Sure,he suffers a lot in the good ending by having to escape the planet,then go back to gather treasure,go back to gather treasure a second time and recover all ship parts from the hocotate ship,but at least olimar gets to live and see his family

My theory surrounding the Geiger counter is that it would detect Oxygen rather than radiation, since there is no other source of information about the part (that I can find). Olimar and the ship were from Hocotate and as such know little about humans and Earth, so chances are that some of the various parts have different uses to that of similar objects.

[@waddleguard1981]

I have an idea for a pikmin game to make the gameplay more exciting or challenging. How about adding weather hazards or natural disasters to the game? I heard everyone complain how some pikmin are just situational and you use them only for certain situations and then never again. With natural disasters, it will encourage players to use different pikmin. There could be rain that just slightly floods areas, or thunderstorms that may strike stray pikmin, wildfires, tornadoes, even hail rain. Adding weather RNG could really spice up gameplay (except for caves but then you have rock traps). Anyone else have ideas you’d like to pitch?

[@LordShonji]

Personal theory on the human structures underground could be underground bunkers that the humans used to hide during what ever caused the mass extinction. Wood flooring could been a living area, tiles a shower room, and the outside underground areas could have been parks to simulate outside areas with artificial lights.

[@Knyckoh]

i haven't seen the actual models, but that description sounds a lot like Ramune, which is a common Japanese soda brand

[@Cirina.]

Don' know if this was already said in a comment, but if so, I agree with them and am sorry for the plagarism, but: I think the Wraiths in the challenge mode ignored Louie because in his log entries, he talks about how to cook, and prepare, the enemies. Meaning, he had to eat them. He also has a Piklopedia entry about the Water Wraith. “Inedible. Known to cause mass hysteria, followed by leg spasms and internal thunderings.”. For him to have written this, he would've had to consume one, or a bit of one. It could be that kind of a Mini Wraith is forming inside of him. So the Wraiths avoid Louie in the challenge mode in order NOT to hurt the developing Wraith. But that's just my thoughts, I'd love to know what you think! Excellent video, have a good day! ❤

[@FernandoUrista]

I've never heard of that before. Very interesting. But personally, I think i lean more into the umbozui theory on why it chases Olimar instead of Louie

It’s crazy how everyone (including myself) just assumed that the post-apocalyptic earth theory was entirely true before pikmin 4 came out. In fact, pikmin 1 2 and 3 don’t really have anything to suggest that the games just happen to take place in areas that are just nature. Abandoned architecture does exist in our pre-apocalyptic world, and the treasures that are in pikmin 2 can be explained to be litter from humans

[@snazzyzsmitty]

Honestly I didnt even consider it could be anything other than a post apocalyptic world. But the few things ive seen from pikmin 4, seems more that you just happen to miss any people by landing in abandoned/recently abandoned places

Pikmin theory, humans might still be around So I have a good amount of Theories regarding the whereabouts of humans in the pikmin games. It's been a pretty much accepted theory that humans are extinct in the pikmin games since pikmin 2. But ive always doubted that theory and now, with the intact houses and Well kept garden of pikmin 4, I feel like my theory is getting backed up quite a lot. First of all, id say that the game plays in a sort of parallel universe which would explain the weird Continent Layout and creatures that we see. But we know that humans are /were a thing based on the items we find in pikmin 2 and stuff like the electric Gates and such in pikmin 2 and 3. Furthermore, the electric Gates still work so there is still electricity. We also see mud castles that look like actual castles and there is a certain bridge in the twilight river that makes me think that humans are still around. It's a dead tree stump root that works as a bridge in the twilight river. On that bridge is a big concrete gate that was most likely build by humans. There are even pikmin carved into the pillars and I dont think that the pikmin did that. (the fact that the gate is on the root of a dead tree (the stump is the scornet Maestro Arena) implies that the concrete hate had to be build somewhat recently. If humanity Was dead for decades, the tree would have Rotted and the gate would have fallen into the water ages ago). Now I think the carved pikmin Shows us that humans are very Well aware of the pikmin and build little obstacles and leave treats for them, similar to how Some human kids play with ants. That would also explain why food is found in places like the distant tundra. I also think that the captains are aware of the humans as well and simply stay clear of humans as they pose too much of a thread thanks to their size. Otherwise, itd be weird that the koppaians in pikmin 3 and the olimar and louie find so many human artifacts and never wonder about what humans are etc. They probably dont have to theorize whom these massive artifacts and relics belong to since humans are still around, so their origin is self explanatory. To come back to the pikmin 4 Trailer, we see a flowerbed with little veggie signs (obviously made by humans) with the annual plants growing right next to them. These plants couldnr have grown there without human help since, Well, they are annual. We also see a teapot on a hot stove so there is both electricity and running water. Now the only things against my theory dont really make sense. Many say that the distant spring is a ruined house and Shows how society is collapsed or something but id say that there are lotsa ruins out there and itd make sense to search ruins. Why? Well, you have a great chance of finding treasure there (main goal of pikmin 2) but you dont have to risk running into humans. So obviously the distant spring (and the valley of repose because it's a ruined street) was a great location for pikmin 2. Pikmin 4 probably plays much closer to humans since you are in a rescue Team so safety is a bit less important. Also, in pikmin 1, olimars Geiger counter goes crazy. Many say that is because of nuclear Fallout etc but I dont think so. First of all, it wouldnr make sense that all these critters and plants would have survived and only humanity would have gone extinct in the nuclear conflict. There is always some background radiation and just think about the size of hocotatians and koppaians. They are tiny so even minor cell damage by tiny doses of radiation would pose a massive thread so it's obvious that their Geiger counters would be more fine tuned. These are the main points of my theory as to why humans in the pikmin World are still buzzing about and doing great.

[@mawcie]

very awesome video and great work from everyone involved! i know much of the iceberg consists of general fan theories not created by the people who worked on this video, so this isnt directed at any of you, but i think it should be considered that the protagonists of the pikmin games arent reliable narrators. such as olimar's speculation on places and objects- olimar isnt aware of humans, or at least doesnt have a solid grasp on how giant the intelligent life on this planet is/was, so what he claims might be a bunker couldve easily been something else entirely. to a man of his size, it could easily be a bunker. but to a human, it could be a hollowed out engine or pipeline of some sort. the hocotatians and koppaites dont really know how big humans were, as well as the ships, so their speculation has a bias that only theyre used to. the treasure 'alien billboard' in pikmin 2 is a great example of this, thinking something of that size surely mustve been a billboard for anyone passing by, not realizing how small it is for humans. again, not criticizing the people who made this video, so i hope this doesnt come off as rude! i just think its something thats fun and important to consider :}

I'm pretty sure Hocatate not having oxygen was retconned since in 3 its mentioned that the difference in oxygen consintration between PNF-404 and Koppai is why it's "poisonous" and the reason why Koppaites are small compared to old earth stuff is due to the connection between oxygen concentration and creature size. So, since Olimar and Louie clearly breathe the same air on the SS Drake, it means it's the same for Hocatate.

[@dooplon5083]

to be fair oxygen is poisonous to humans too, and in high enough concentrations cause effects similar to a high or outright kill people given enough time, so I'd say it's less a reason and more of a clarifications imo since even us massive oxygen breathers can be poisoned by it lol
