Pikmin: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

** According to [[Word of God|Miyamoto]], {{spoiler|humans went extinct at some point.}}

* [[Alliterative Name]] The Hole of Heroes, the Dream Den, and the Cavern of Chaos of ''Pikmin 2''.

** All three of these caves are in the area Wistful Wild. [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~|Notice a pattern?]]

** One treasure, the Eternal Emerald Eye.

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Let's review the Raging Long Legs. On one hand, it has the most HP of any boss in the game. On the other hand it is horribly slow, and unlike it's "lesser" version, the Beady Long Legs, it can be attacked ''at any time'' due to its massive size, which also makes it nearly impossible to miss. At worst, you may lose Pikmin if you don't clear out during one of its retaliatory rampages, which are very telegraphed and easy to get away from. Now consider that this is the second to last boss in the game, and boss of what is probably the hardest dungeon.

Line 127:

* [[Holler Button]]: [[Just Whistle]] to summon your Pikmin back to you.

* [[Implacable Man]]: The Waterwraith, combined with [[Stalked by the Bell]]. Its one weakness is Purple Pikmin, which aren't obtained until the last floor of its dungeon.

* [[In Universe Game Clock]]: 20 minute days, anyone?

* [[In-Universe Game Clock]]: 20 minute days, anyone?

** 13 in the first game.

* [[Infinity+1 Element]]: Bulbmin, only found in a few dungeons, are "extra Pikmin" with [[The Mario|Mario-esque]] attack and speed... but ''resistance to every element.'' You can only use them in the dungeon they appear in though.

Line 148:

* [[Monster Compendium]]: The Piklopedia. Comes with view of the enemy in its habitat, scientific notes/names, and eventually cooking recipes.

* [[More Predators Than Prey]]: Most enemies on the Pikmin planet seem to be carnivorous, and the ''only'' thing any of them ever seem to eat are, of course, Pikmin.

* [[Multiple Endings]]: In the first Pikmin, the bad ending involves attempting to {{spoiler|fly away without at least 25 ship parts}}, which results in {{spoiler|the Dolphin crashing, Olimar being knocked unconscious, his Pikmin carrying him to their Onion and turning ''him'' into a freakish Pikmin/Olimar hybrid (known as "Olimin" or "Pikmar" in [[Fanon]], and no evidence that he is ever picked}}. In the good ending (received through [[~~Hundred-Percent~~ Completion]]), {{spoiler|Olimar bids the Pikmin farewell before hopping on to his ship, and the Onions follow him into low orbit as a show of gratitude (as they are now able to handle enemies on their own, as shown in a scene shortly before that). In the neutral ending, Olimar makes a hasty jump into his ship before his life support dies, and the Pikmin are left to fend for themselves.}}

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: In the second game: "Are your life functions fading?"

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: The Smoky Progg supposedly is the direct result of a Pikmin attack breaking a normally peaceful Mamuta's egg before it's time for it to hatch.
