Some unused textures have been found on the game's disc, portraying [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[bomb-rock]]s. This hints to the fact that, initially, all Pikmin types were designed to carry bomb-rocks. | Some unused textures have been found on the game's disc, portraying [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[bomb-rock]]s.

This, in turn, translates to "antlion". As its name and appearance indicate, it would have flown, though not much else is known about it. Attempting to spawn Usuba by any method crashes the game for an unknown reason. The surprisingly developed parameters for this enemy suggests that it was last developed around the same time as Iwagen. Interestingly, these same parameters suggest it would have been tied for the highest [[Health|HP]] of any enemy (at 5000 HP) and supposedly would have spawned Smoky Proggs. However, it is possible that the enemy in Smoky Progg's position changed during development, so the latter fact cannot be confirmed. | ||

*When a Pikmin is [[throw|held]], its throw height is decided to be at a certain level. Holding the Pikmin for a while increases this value, and the increase stops more or less when the Pikmin's noise ends. However, in the game files, the starting value and the ending value are exactly the same, so this feature has absolutely no impact in the final game.
