Hey! Pikmin prerelease information

This article or section is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it. Suggestions: Check other prerelease images for more information to add here. Also, add unused content that hints to cut enemies, areas, etc. (i.e. exclude obvious debugging content).

Like all games, during production, Hey! Pikmin has underwent several different development versions, which did not have the same content that the final game does. Thanks to promotional footage and other sources of information, it is possible to learn how some aspects of the game are different from the final release.

On top of that, there is unused content left inside the game that hints at enemies, objects, etc. that were considered during development, but cut, and never deleted from the game's files.

Cutscenes

To do: This information was taken from two still screenshots. Compare the actual moving cutscenes from the trailers and from the final game. Care to do so?

The cutscene for when Captain Olimar encounters the Bulborb in the Brilliant Garden is a bit different in promotional videos. When the creature roars, in the final game, everyone is on the same level, but in the trailer, Captain Olimar and the Pikmin are on a slightly raised ledge.

Other

The Rarely Seen Cell was originally going to be found in an unknown crystal cave with Winged Pikmin. The treasure is instead found in an above-ground area, Over Wintry Mountains. Additionally, the only underground area with Winged Pikmin is Valley of the Breeze, but even that has no crystals.
