Some '''unused content''' is left inside the final version of some ''Pikmin'' games. There is [[Prototype information|information about prototype content]], but this is a list of content that is inside the games' files, and isn't used in a regular playthrough.
[[File:Kakureimo 1.png|thumb|325px|The [[Unused content in Pikmin 3#Kakureimo|Kakureimo]], an enemy in {{p3}} that remains completely unused.]]
Some '''unused content''' is left inside the final release of some [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. This can range from debugging tools used by the developers, to entire [[enemies]], textures, or other assets that got cut entirely. This information can help understand what sort of content was [[Prerelease information|meant to be included]] for the final game.


The following pages exist with information about unused content:
==Pikmin==
===Debug menu===
{{stub}}
A menu written in Japanese with several debugging features is present in the game. Each option has a value, and pressing the A button will activate the option, with the specified value. The options, in order, display the following:
*Title screen. 0 means the Challenge Mode option won't be visible. 1 means that option is present.
*A set of [[Olimar's Voyage Log|Voyage Log entries]]. Set #19 is untranslated for some reason.
*Save game screen. Its value doesn't seem to do anything.
*A weird screen, possibly used to test, sprites, effects and buttons.
*Memory card warnings. 0 and 1 don't do anything, 2 warns that the card cannot be used. 4 warns that it must be formatted.
*Ship log selection screen.
*Unlocked Voyage Logs. Acts weirdly.
*End of day screen.
*Pause menus. 0 is during a regular adventure, 1 is during challenge mode.
*Final statistics.
*Title screen without background.

Unused content in {{pb}} changes periodically as new [[update]]s add, remove, or reuse content inside the game files. In addition, such content is strongly protected by copyright laws. For these reasons, there is no article documenting unused content in ''Pikmin Bloom''.
To access it, use the following Action Replay code on a PAL version of ''Pikmin'':

===Others===
*There are 2 test blo files found inside <code>dataDir\screen\eng_blo</code>, "test.blo" and "test2.blo"
*account.blo contains some weird strings that don't seem to be used. They are "The sun has gone down, today's job is finished.", which appears twice, "starting pikmins", "pikmins now", "dead pikmins", "enemies defeated" and "collected items", which all appear twice, grouped. account2.blo seems to contain the real text for the results screen.
