While {{p4}} contains the most amount of [[Enemy|enemies]], [[treasure]]s, [[area]]s, [[cave]]s, and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]]s out of any [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]] to date, there are still a substantial number of '''things not in ''Pikmin 4'''''.

It's very likely that the Munge Dweevil changed its name to the Venom Dweevil to be more accurate, but failed infamously because it should actually be named Poison Dweevil instead. [[White Pikmin#Venom and poison|White Pikmin]] are victims of this classic [[mistake|blunder]] as well, though that blunder in and of itself is not present in ''Pikmin 4''.

=== Cat-like enemies ===
Strangely, especially considering the game's focus on canine-like characters, no cat is depicted in the entirety of the game. This is particularly unusual because cats have been scientifically proven to be the natural predator of dogs.<ref>It came to me in a dream.</ref>

=== Smash Ball ===
[[smashwiki:Smash Ball|Smash Ball]]s are items in the {{ssb}} games that once broken allow a fighter to unleash a powerful Final Smash move. They made their debut alongside Captain Olimar in {{ssbb}}, and both have been present in every ''Smash'' game since. Olimar's Final Smash involves him hopping onto his ship, and flying off into low atmosphere as enemies chew anything left behind during the [[night]]. All of these aspects are present in ''Pikmin 4'' besides the Smash Ball, leaving the reasons for its exclusion unknown.

=== Solar System ===
The [[Solar System]] is not present in ''Pikmin 4'', being replaced by the [[Headlamp]]. Not to be confused with the {{w|Solar System}}, which also may or may not be in ''Pikmin 4'', depending on exactly what planet the game takes place on.

A few games include in-game encyclopedias that allow the player to learn more about a given subject in the game, but ''Pikmin 4'' is not one of them. It does contain a [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]], but not a Pikipedia, meaning it has no [[Special:AllPages|pages]], [[:Category:Images|images]], [[zelda:Link|links]], [[Pikipedia:April Fool's Day|editor projects]], or objective text.
