then they removed all mentions of him due to the fact that fiddlebert got into an argument with the lead director leading to fiddlebert leaving the project
There is one thing that you missed unfortunately it has been claimed by lost media, but before Pikmin one came out, there was a short animated, somewhat black-and-white animated clip of what it was like on the planet before Olimar crash lands. Shows the tough survival and the harsh environments as Pikmin die left and right. It ends the clip with a single red Pikmin in the forest presumably the forest of Hope and a loud crash noise, which is Olimar crash Landing.. A bunch of enemies wake up to swarm the single Pikmin then a Japanese text pops up, which I don’t remember what it says, but it has real relation to. I believe the song from the Japanese commercial or it’s just a text that translates to can you survive? It’s pretty cool and I remember it vividly because of how traumatizing it was but I cannot find it anywhere so I assume that it is lost forever
12:56 My most darkest secret is that one time I almost poured the milk before the cereal. I stopped myself in time thankfully, but I don’t know what came over me. It could have been a lot worse. Every day, I think of the horrific events that could have happened on that day because of my carelessness.
3:33 This actually goes into a Pikmin Theory. In Japanese, the Plasm Wraith’s name is Omibozu, a reference to Umibozu, a mythological creature who destroys ships in an attempt to end the life of the captain. The theory is that the Goolix, Water, and Plasma Wraith are all the same creature trying to kill the captain
5:10 technically it is possible to encounter this mechanic with all three enemies that have it, that being the Dwarf Bulborb, Dwarf Bulbear, and Water Dumple. The Dwarf Bulborb is the easiest, as it only requires a well-aimed shot out from the Armored Cannon Beetle arena in Forest of Hope quickly followed up by a little bit of enemy luring to get the dwarf into place. The Dwarf Bulbear and Water Dumple are probably straight up impossible to do in a casual gameplay, but by exploiting the Smoky Progg or Pikmin carrying Olimar, it's possible to push the ACB out of its arena to the point where you can get it to shoot these other two enemies. There is also an exploit with Water Dumple AI that can send them endlessly sliding in one direction that might be possible to exploit.
8:28 Ok hold up this might actually be super useful for me. I have a pikmin 2 randomizer save file where one of the caves claims to not have 1 treasure collected but the treasure gauge doesn’t light up on any of the floors. perhaps the humming is the key…
Some enemies do get flattened though, when you hit them directly with a Pikmin. I'd imagine that since they had already implemented that animation, they played around with the idea of using it for other types of attacks. But eventually, they realized it wasn't worth the effort, especially after cutting that rock-spitting statue. Still strange that they never brought it back in other Pikmin games.
It's really not a very high effort implementation; it's just a basic reduction of the model's scale on the Y-axis. They probably cut it because they liked the fact that enemy corpses will still break boulders and can be used as a shield if you strategically have them die in the right places. Besides, the Pikmin 2 animation is a lot more eye-catching and definitely draws your attention to the fact that an enemy was killed by a boulder, whereas the Pikmin 1 animation just basically deletes them from existence, and their death could easily go unnoticed.
@@alfiehicks1 True, but I thought that since only small enemies get fully squished, it'd add a bit more strategy. Can't take cover behind a Dwarf Bulborb (because why would you be able to?), but a regular Bulborb is fine.
For a short period during development, Character D was actually meant to be Fiddlebert. However, during a meeting discussing the game, Miyamoto barged in and shot the man that suggested the idea 45 times in the chest.
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says tree. Do you take none because its just an accent, or do you pass out in the first 5 minutes? YOU DECIDE!
The one thing I noticed about "Character D" is that his head shape is the "tall and narrow" type that you can use in your avatar in Pikmin 4. Introduced via Captain Shepherd, so thus each game kind of introduced a new head shape one at a time. I also noticed that speaking of head shapes, Each one seems to correspond to a personality: Round = modest, good natured, analytical Pear = selfish, cocky, brash Square (like Charlie and Collin) = fatherly, leaderlike, timid and Long (like Shepherd) = Athletic, energetic and motivating Kind of reminds me of the animal crossing personalities (for the males namely) with round being like Lazy, Pear being like Smug, Square being like Cranky and Long being like Jock.
Honestly I'm a little sad that no one knows who made that fan animation. I remember seeing it years ago and thinking it was pretty heartwarming. Hopefully the artist gets their credit in the near future.
Really liking the push on Pikmin that's been going about, honestly wonder if there'll be some news about it the coming direct (fine if nah, as long as we don't need to wait another decade)
Interesting that the captain/crew body types in Pikmin 4 mirror the four captains in the Character D concept art. Guess they never forgot about the "Louie" type captain after all?
You can actually get a flattened Dwarf Bulborb in vanilla Pikmin 1, no cheats required. You can do this with the Forest of Hope's Armored Cannon Beetle. Just make sure to get the adult Bulborb out of the way first.
Dude, when I was 8 I would look on the wii U eshop and when I saw some of the pictures for pikmin 3 they had pictures of red Alph and yellow Britney, I always wondered where they came from because I couldnt find them anywhere in the actual game. I'm finally at peace now, 8 years later. I still wonder why they used this footage of all things and thought "Yeah, this will NOT confuse anyone actually playing the game!"
I’ve been planning to make a romhack for pikmin 2 for quite a while now & I’m going to make Character D a playable character, his name would be Derek & his piklopedia notes would be scientific & build off Olimar’s.
For the pikmin singing in caves, I can almost hear the pikmin saying "There's still stuff" and "there's no more treasure left" idk I just hear them. 8:15
Good video! I always love learning more Pikmin secrets and mysteries! I really wish whoever did that Pikmin animation had done more of them! I know we have the official Pikmin shorts from Nintendo, but the anime style lends itself incredibly well for the Pikmin universe.
There's a secret with Bulborb Larvae in Pikmin 2. If you have them get crushed by a Purple Pikmin, they'll emit a green ooze and have a different death sound than normal
I assume the reason boulders work differently is for balancing reasons? Since the boulder in 1 seems to keep going after flattening both Olimar and the enemy, i guess this was corrected to the boulder being destroyed by enemies destroying the boulders on contact to not be too unfair or something. I feel some decorated cannon beetles would've been obnoxious if the boulders worked like that. Holy fuck, that jab at Arlo though kinda deserved ngl
3:26 "Wisdom of planning"? Is this what eventually got referred to as Dandori? I guess Pikmin 3's localisation team, unlike 4's, didn't believe in "foreign word = cool" x)
I love that (i think) through his videos he always called pikmin 3 "pikmin tree" atleast i think, i literally can't hear three and not tree and im going crazy because i dont know if i am the one crazy or if he is actually saying pikmin tree AAAAAAAAAA
I just like how the Lost media Luigi is now a recurring character on the channel rather than him just being a gag.
HIS NAME IS MALTIGI 😡😡😡😡
Maltigi 🤑🤑🤑
Anyways I have one of the oldest comments on this video from 2 hours before I made this comment
i want the original source but i cannot find it, i really want to also use lost media luigi.
@@Tozito911 looking up "maltigi" should help with that
"He wasn't a big fan of the juice"
YOU CAN'T JUST HIT ME WITH THAT ONE
I expected a joke about Kanye's antisemitism, just not like that.
As an anti-Kopite, I'm deeply offended
Juice has been removed from every menu it's ever been on
absolute cinema
Drake's soul was cramed into the ship and thats why the juice cutscene lags
Pikmin 🤑🤑🤑
dawg what.
so his soul is… LOST MEDIA???
draketrap
Wouldn’t his name be Delta to match the joke of every other captains name?
"he wasn't a fan of the juice" man come on i spat out my breakfast. that might just be the funniest line i've ever heard.
It did take me a second, but once I got it it was incredible.
11:13 Actually insane word play, hit me like a truck.
This feels like a family guy fan dub disguised as a Pikmin video
Character D was supposed to be the newly updated model for Fiddlebert to differentiate him from Olimar.
Note the green hair.
then they removed all mentions of him due to the fact that fiddlebert got into an argument with the lead director leading to fiddlebert leaving the project
6:46 Is probably the most emotion he's ever shown in his voice.
Character D is clearly a stand in for Pumpernickel
Pikmin 🤑🤑🤑

Ill tickle you in bed tomorrow lil bro

so then its
The Serial Experiments Lain joke really caught me off guard lol
I appreciate Ice Pikmin's main weakness being a trivia fact because it never comes up in normal gameplay

4:41 referring to schaffrillas as the nostalgia critic is nasty work😭
Character D's name is Diddlebert. My dad works for Nintendo.
Nothing like a Diddlebert party?....
11:09 hit me like a sack of bricks to the face

11:10 you are literally the funniest person on this platform please keep going.
the pikmin fandom is so starved for content an equals sign is a new character
Everything about the Kanye section felt like a fever dream
I left Pikmin 4 idke and i came back to the animation of the pikmin dancing around oatchi, was a wholesome thing to come back to tbh
The "Serial Experiments Lane" got me
Maybe the true character D were the friends we made along the way
Pikmin 🤑🤑🤑
that luigi never fails to crack me up bruh
1:46 and thus marks the end of an era o7
11:09 As a Jew, thank you. That's both funny and a great callout against him. We can't let people forget what kind of person he is.
I like how if you lie down your pikmin are like 'HES DEAD! TAKE HIM TO THE ONION SO WE CAN FEAST ON HIS CORPSE"
This video feels like a fever dream the more I watch.
Dandori Battle, Final Trial, Olimar's Comeback (3 Deluxe) and "Pikmin song 4" all share a bunch of things in common. That rhythm of 5!
For a short period during development, Character D was actually meant to be Fiddlebert. However, during a meeting discussing the game, Miyamoto barged in and shot the man that suggested the idea 45 times in the chest.
What if the real Character D was the friends we made along the way
lost media Luigi scream sfx lives rent free in my head thanks to these high quality pikimin videos. Very cool, thank you
The Luigi gag got me I wasn’t expecting that lol
My most heinous and darkest secret is that I've never told anyone my most heinous and darkest secret.
My theory as to why D guy was there, he was a placeholder for louie because fuck it we dont wanna spoild him yet
I tossed my phone when Foxy jumpscared me goddammit lol
That Kanye joke was CLEAN
Funny how the Pikmin sing the water wraith theme cause even they see it as joke
The Pikmin anime mystery is very interesting to me and made 8 year old me believe that it was official.
I love merging into the Serial Expieriement Lane...
My gut says "Drake" was a non-playable character from a point in development before the story was going to involve Olimar & Louie.
Drinking game:
Take a shot every time he says tree.
Do you take none because its just an accent, or do you pass out in the first 5 minutes?
YOU DECIDE!
Drake IS in Pikmin 3! Nintendo just reworked his design to look more spaceshippy
Cramming for the Pikmin exam, thanks for the video!
Merging into the serial experiments lain without looking because the pikmin anime is so funny in family guy is relatable af tbh
luigi jumpscare is the last thing i expected
I always appreciated the 6 note song in Pikmin 2 (the one where there isn't any more treasure on a sublevel). It's the Luigi's mansion theme!
its actually the lemotif of the game. compare it to the map theme
That is definitely not the Luigi's Mansion theme. I would've picked up on that as a kid.
The one thing I noticed about "Character D" is that his head shape is the "tall and narrow" type that you can use in your avatar in Pikmin 4. Introduced via Captain Shepherd, so thus each game kind of introduced a new head shape one at a time.

Did you forget to include the letter in the graphic at 11:50 or am I stupid
I thought the same thing for a second, but I think the letter just looks like a = symbol.
I think... It was.... AHHHHHHH
@@randomnpc445 Oh you're so right I thought it was two boxes showing the character
Character D kind of looks like Yonny. This fourth character looks like someone in Pikmin 4
Pikmin 🤑🤑🤑
Purple clothes, green hair, lanky body
Honestly I'm a little sad that no one knows who made that fan animation. I remember seeing it years ago and thinking it was pretty heartwarming. Hopefully the artist gets their credit in the near future.

Interesting that the captain/crew body types in Pikmin 4 mirror the four captains in the Character D concept art. Guess they never forgot about the "Louie" type captain after all?
Maltigi with the stock gmod cream is the best jump scare
Maltigi's cream 🤑🤑🤑
That juice joke lmao
It's optimal to watch this while drunk
"jeez Lois, this was worse than that time I became the water raithe and committed several war crimes"
genuinely thought oatchi was going to throw every pikmin into the candypop bud at once
I wonder if Oatchi’s grand uncle, Fiddoatchi, can be considered lost media now?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I can't believe nostalgia critic hated pikmin 2
the budget went up we got cutaway gags
That scary luigi freaking scared me!!!! I was watching this to help me sleep!!!!
Maltigi is my favourite Pikmin character.
4:43 the fact i immediately knew who this was referring to made me cackle
I can’t wait for the sequel to this video that’ll come out 10 years from now
I’ve been planning to make a romhack for pikmin 2 for quite a while now & I’m going to make Character D a playable character, his name would be Derek & his piklopedia notes would be scientific & build off Olimar’s.

That Kanye joke was golden, but I'm afraid it attracted people to this comment section who deserve to have that same joke be applied to them.
I feel like he's here for more than just Pikmin..
one of my relatives died so im glad that you joked about them in your video!
The 6 notes hum song from Pikmin 2 is also the Luigi's Mansion theme.
