Unused content in Hey! Pikmin

This article is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it.

This article or section is a short summary on unused content in Hey! Pikmin. The Cutting Room Floor features more in-depth content.

Hey! Pikmin has a substantial amount of unused content inside its data, mostly coming in the form of unused enemies.

Unused enemies and plants

To do: Add links to videos of rotations of each model and their animations if they have any. Add images for each animation and back view of the enemies. A side view of each enemy is also preferred, so it can be shown what they would've looked like in 2D space. Add any missing information for Yukibee, Green Bokeeringi, Togedo_rot, Togedo_viewer, Syakomodoki, and Huriko, alongside any animation descriptions or videos they may need Care to do so?

Doodlebug

Onarashi.

This enemy is the Doodlebug from Pikmin 2. Its Japanese name is the same as in Pikmin 2, being called Onarashi. This enemy has a few animations, which include walking, running, and being idle. Because many of the items this enemy drops in the previous games aren't in Hey! Pikmin, it was probably planned to drop Sparklium Seeds.^{[source needed]}

Skeeterskate

Mizunbou.

This enemy is the Skeeterskate from Pikmin 3. Its Japanese name is the same as in Pikmin 3, being called Mizunbou. Appearance-wise, it is very similar to the Pikmin 3 version, only with bigger eyes, more suited to Hey! Pikmin's cartoonish style. The model itself is very complete, being fully shaded, with various animations. These animations include skimming, presumably on water, back and forth. It also has an animation for attacking, in which it spits water, causing its water sac to deflate. Interestingly, the Skeeterskate's legs appear to clip into its eyes.^{[source needed]}

Scornet

Hatisuzume.

This enemy is the Scornet from Pikmin 3. Its Japanese name is the same as in Pikmin 3, being called Hatisuzume. This enemy has a slightly different appearance from the Pikmin 3 one, such as having blue eyes and different coloration. This is probably just made to fit the game's cartoony art style. This enemy has two animations: one labeled "wait," in which the Scornet flies in place, and another labeled "walk," in which the Scornet charges at something, flying slightly faster. It was probably replaced by the Sparrowhead, which has very similar animations of waiting in place and charging, and it even overall looks similar.^{[source needed]}

Early Adult Centipare

Big Mukade.

This enemy, internally called Big Mukade, simply appears to be an early version of the Adult Centipare. It comes in various colors, similar to the final version of the creature.

Prototype/test Elongated Crushblat

Bigtori.

This appears to be some kind of test enemy, as its refereed as such in its animations files. Due to having animations very close to the Elongated Crushblat, it was probably used to test its animations. This is supported by its name, which translates to "big bird". It also could've been a dummy model for the creature, serving as the basic idea before its detailed appearance was decided and modeled.^{[source needed]}

Enemy01

This enemy, simply called "enemy01" in the game files, was most likely an enemy created for testing purposes. It comes in 7 variations:

• The "standard" pink one,
• A brown one called "iwa" (Japanese for "rock"), might have spat rocks
• A red one called "yaki" (Japanese for "fire"), might have breathed fire
• A green one called "tobi" (Japanese for "flying"), might have flown in the air
• A blue one called "yoroi" (Japanese for "armored"), might have only been damageable by Rock Pikmin
• An orange one called "pero" (Japanese for "licking"), might have had Whiptongue Bulborb-like behavior
• Another pink one with dots for eyes.

•

• 

  Iwa.

• 

  Yaki.

• 

  Tobi.

• 

  Yoroi.

• 

  Pero.

• 

  Dot Enemy01.

Enemy02

This enemy appears to be just a test enemy. It has two separate "models": eyes, which have no animations, and wings, which have 1 animation, for flapping. Both are flat textures. Its two models look like polished versions of Enemy03, which is strange, since its name suggests it was made before it.

• 

  Its wings.

• 

  Its eyes.

Enemy03

This enemy appears to be some kind of bee. It has several models and textures: 3 eye textures, which include angry eyes, presumably used when attacking, and "normal" eyes, which include a big and small variety. It has a yellow body with purple stripes, and wings that are also fully modeled. The body has two animations: one for attacking and one for "waiting". The wings have one animation, which is flapping. Finally, it also has some kind of fuzzy texture on its bottom, very similar to the Spornet, which may imply this was an earlier version of that enemy.^{[source needed]}

  Its abdomen-like fuzzball.

• 

  Its "angry" eyes.

• 

  Its small eyes.

• 

  Its big eyes.

Chappyproto

Chappyproto.

This enemy appears to be the Enemy01's dot eye variation without legs. It only has one animation, which is opening and closing its mouth.^{[source needed]} It also might have been native to the Grub-dog family or Mandiblard family given its name and appearance. This is likely a prototype of some sort of Bulborb, as "Chappy" is the Japanese name for the enemy, and "proto" is likely just short for prototype.

Maridokuri

Maridokuri.

This enemy probably belonged to the blowhog family. This is supported by its name, which could translate to "ball tokkuri", similar to the family's Japanese name. It has animations for blowing air, presumably to blow away Captain Olimar and his Pikmin. It is lime-green with colorful pink, blue, and yellow spots, almost resembling candy. It has white lips at the end of its snout, and has a shape almost identical to the Puffy Blowhog, though with no spikes on its back.

Suisyo

Suisyo.

This is a blue-striped creature, with crystals on its back. Its internal name can also be crystal, a translation of suisyo. Its shape specifically resembles a Withering Blowhog besides the crystals.

Namazu

Namazu.

This enemy, whose internal name is Namazu, meaning "catfish" (part of the Water Dumple's name in Japan), appears to be some kind of aquatic blowhog. It has several animations, which include; flying or swimming around, charging at something, presumably the player, and sucking something up, presumably Pikmin.^{[source needed]}

Hanemakky

Hanemakky.

This enemy appears to have been scrapped very early on. It consists of only a basic model, with a red head and blue body. It also has no animations. It appears to have been some kind of mockiwi, as its name translates to "wing makky", with マッキー^? being the Japanese name for the Mockiwi.^{[source needed]}

Peromakky

Peromakky.

This is presumably another type of mockiwi. Its name translates to "slurping makky". It has a duckbill, a white body, and a brown face. Besides the duckbill, it highly resembles the Whiptongue Bulborb, especially its coloring. Also like its grub-dog counterpart, it has a very long tongue that was probably planned to be able to catch Pikmin. It only has some animations, and not nearly as many as the mockiwis seen in-game. Some of them include walking and using its tongue.

Togemakky

Togemakky.

This is presumably another type of mockiwi. Its name translates to "thorn makky". It has a black body and spikes with red tips. It has a presumably complete animation set, contrary to the other unused mockiwi-like enemy. Every animation of Mockiwis in the game is replicated by this creature, even ones exclusive to special instances in cutscenes (like one looking down, and being surprised). It also has a polished model, with shading that is absent in most of the unused creatures. Because of its near completion, it was likely scrapped late in development. It can be assumed that it wasn't planned to be able to be killed with most Pikmin, judging by how Pikmin die from the spikes of Speargrubs. However, Rock Pikmin are resistant to Speargrubs, so they may have been resistant to this creature as well.

Pikutabe

Pikutabe.

This enemy heavily resembles the Creeping Chrysanthemum, and probably belonged to the chrysanthemum family. However, it can be told that it is not the same creature as in Pikmin 2; it has an entirely different coloration, it has a different method of attacking, and it has a different Japanese name, with ビックリ菊^?, lit.: "Surprising Chrysanthemum" being the Japanese name of the Pikmin 2 creature, and this creature's name being "pikutabe", meaning "Pikmin eater". The internal name of the Creeping Chrysanthemum is different as well.Pikutabe has various animations, which include popping out of the ground, attacking the player and going back underground. Because its mouth has a strange transparency to it, and it only has a few animations, this enemy was likely scrapped relatively early in development.

Anahusagi

Anahusagi.

This enemy is similar to the hydroe bramble, and may have had a similar function, as its name translates to "hole blocker". It appears to have been cut early on in development, as it only has 4 animations in total, and the model has no shading at all. The model includes what seems to be a simple green base when loaded, and the ball opens up to reveal teeth.

Hokori

Hokori.

Hokori is a flower-like object, with orange leaves and a gray top. Its name translates to "dust". Since it has minor parameter data, it can be inferred it was one of the last and most complete objects cut from Hey! Pikmin. It has a few animations, such as spitting something out, and an animation of it deflating slightly, called mo_hokori_damage_01a, implying it is for when the plant gets damaged. It is quite clear it was to spit out a large projectile, possibly the strange fuzzy thing that can be seen under it with a similar texture to its top.

Kinominusumi

Kinominusumi.

This enemy looks similar to the Grabbit, although it also resembles scarpanids, creatures that are usually green with red eyes. Its name could translate to "nut stealer", meaning it may have been intended to steal Sparklium Seeds. However, it's hard to tell because of its unfinished model. It was likely scrapped early on, as it has no shading or animations.^{[source needed]}

Kinomimoti

Kinomimoti.

This enemy appears similar to an Iridescent Glint Beetle without its shiny texture and polished look. It appears to have been scrapped early on, as it has no animations and no shading. As its name can translate to "nut holder", it was probably planned to drop Sparklium Seeds.^{[source needed]}

Suzunari

Suzunari.

This appears to be a smaller version of the Stuffed Bellbloom, with its knot is on its head, almost looking like a cauldron. Its Japanese name is the same as the Stuffed Bellbloom minus the word オオ^? (lit.: "big"), being called suzunari. It has animations for losing seeds, jumping, hitting the ground, and being attacked. All of these animations match up near perfectly to those of its bigger relative. However, there is one animation that seems to be of the enemy swimming and paddling its legs, something that the Stuffed Bellbloom can't do.

Coguchi

Coguchi.

Coguchi has very few animations. These include attacking with its huge mouth, rushing towards the player, and being idle. It has two textures, one for its body and one for its large pupil. Its animations and appearance have a striking resemblance to the Puckering Blinnow in that game, so it was likely to be in the elips family. It has an even more elongated mouth, slightly resembling a swordfish. Its name translates to "small mouth".

Gareki

Gareki.

Gareki is an enemy that resembles a real-world snail. It has a yellow-orange body with four large green holes on a hump which is comparable in shape to the shell of a real snail. Its name translates to "rubble", implying it may have used fragments in place of a shell. It also sports red eye-stalks, making it even more snail-like. Although its texture and shading seems complete, it only has a few animations; all of them moving forward.

Herculeseboshi

Herculeseboshi.

Herculeseboshi is an enemy that resembles a real-world crab. It has a green-gray body and shiny orange eyes resting within eye-stalks. It slightly resembles a Mitite. It was likely to have served as a boss, as it has many diverse animations. One animation even resembles the Emperor Bulblax when it swallows a bomb rock, so it may have had a similar battle. Adding onto this, its walking animation seems to be as if it is turning and not moving forward, just like how the Emperor Bulblax behaves in the game. It is capable of moving its eyes inward and outward from the stalks that hold them. Its model seems to be quite unpolished, even compared to other unused enemies, as besides its eyes its texture only consists of two colors and barely a transition, green and gray. Its eye-stalks and some other parts of its body are also paper-thin with just a few polygons.

Togedebig

Togedebig.

This unused enemy is found in the Spiny Coppeller's files. As such, it is possible this was an early version of the creature, more closely resembling a Speargrub, as Speargrubs are known internally as Togede.

Huriko

Huriko.

Huriko, with its spikes out

This unused enemy is shown to be a red ball creature lined with darker red spots on it, along with 4 black cartoony legs. It is shown hanging ontop of a web, and in some cases spikes will protrude out of its spots. Based off its internal name translating to "pendulum" and its animations mo_huriko_viewer01a and mo_huriko_viewer02a (which show it swinging back and forth and up and down respectively), its suggested it would have been able to lower itself or swing back and forth to impale the player or Pikmin with its spikes. Due to it's orb appearance with 4 legs and hanging off a web, this enemy couldve been an Arachnorb, or perhaps even a beta version of Groovy Long Legs, as it's pose resembles the unactivated pose of the Groovy Long Legs and the fact it also hangs off a web, along with it's dotted appearance.

Unused variants

This section is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it.

Within various files, some unused variants of enemies are found. These are:

Yukibee

Yukibee.

This is a flying blue and yellow striped wasp-like creature with a large cotton ball on its bottom, bearing resemblance to the Spornet. It's internal name is yukibee, which can be translated to "snow bee". It has only one animation named "mo_yukibee_viewer01a" which shows it flying forward and then releasing something. Based off its translated name, this was likely going to be a snow variant of the Spornet that possibly would not have been lethal but simply slowed down the player.

Syakomodoki

Syakomodoki.

Due to it's appearance and internal name of syakomodoki (which can translate to mantis shrimp mimic), one can assume that this creature is a younger relative or perhaps a mimic of the Crammed Wraith, as it is sized smaller. However, it's shell model is unfinished, and this creature went unused. It has only one animation named "mo_syako_viewer01a", which is just it walking forward. This animation is shared with the normal Crammed Wraith.

Green Bokeeringi

Bokeeringi_body02a.

Due to the creature's appearance and sinilar internal name (only difference being the number), this is most likely another variation of the Puffstalk, along with the fact it shares a similar internal name and all it's animations (Animation names: mo_Bokeeringi_attack01a, mo_Bokeeringi_down01a, mo_Bokeeringi_down02a, mo_Bokeeringi_move01a, mo_Bokeeringi_move02a, mo_Bokeeringi_wait01a, mo_Bokeeringi_wait02a, mo_Bokeeringi_wait03a). It is nearly identical to the normal Puffstalk, although with a green cap instead and green eyestalks. Not much is known about this variant or what it would have done, though there is a chance it was made after puffstalk was finalized and this version would have been able to attack if it made it into the final game. Since the Puffstalk has "alpha" at the end of its internal name, its also possible this was meant to be a new coloration, but the old one was settled as the final version.

Togede_rot

Togede_rot.

Togede_rot, with its spikes out

Due to it's appearance and sharing animations, this creature is most likely a variation or an early version of the Speargrub. It's full internal name is mo_togede_rot01a, which may suggest some small part of its behavior based off the word "rot" in the name. It is nearly identical to a normal Speargrub, aside from the red eyes and tan coloration.

Unpolished models

This section is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it.

In the files, various enemies have earlier unpolished models. These are:

Togede Variants

Togede_viewer.

Togede_viewer, with its spikes out.

Alternative color for togedo_rot.

Alternative color for togedo_rot, with it's spikes out.

An early version of the Speargrub can be found alongside the togedo_rot, named mo_togede_viewer01b. It is almost identical to a regular Speargrub, aside from having red eyes rather than green, and the absence of a mouth. Due to its eye coloration and the placement of the texture, it may be an alternative texture for the togedo_rot and not just the Speargrub. Alongside it can also be found a swapped texture of togedo_rot, with light red coloration and yellow eyes.

Other

• The Puffstalk has an unused walking animation, meaning it was originally intended to move in a similar way to its Pikmin counterpart, the Puffstool. This could imply its entire behavior was going to be different, since it doesn't ever completely exit its holes.

Unused parameters

• The Abandoned Husk has a weight and max carriers value of 9.

Unused objects

This section is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it.

In the files, various mysterious objects that never appear in the game with various implications can be found. These are:

Hocotate Crates

Junk04.BCH, or the cube-shaped crate

Junk04.BCH's texture

Junk05.BCH, or the cylinder-shaped crate

Junk05.BCH's texture

2 mysterious crates can be found in the files with hocotate logos on them and a window on them. The cube-shaped crate is internally named junk04.BCH and the cylinder-shaped crate is internally named junk05.BCH. The presence of these crates may imply the story may originally have had more involvement with hocotate, or were perhaps only small props placed in some random area.
