::*The "creation of Pikmin" one may not have the absolute ''best'' idea I've ever come up with, so it may be best to just ax it, or maybe rewrite it.  Maybe to something along the lines of "...that it's possible that two different games went into the creation of ''Pikmin''?" or simply "...that two games went into the creation of ''Pikmin''?"  [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 11:38, August 16, 2022 (EDT)

:::In general I guess the Mario Galaxy ones just aren't good enough for trivia. The idea of the Dwarf ones was to specify how they are juveniles of the Bulbear. Just saying they are juveniles doesn't really mean much -- even the Dwarf Bulborb might be a juvenile as far as we know. Just that it's a juvenile of a species we have yet to see as an adult. The games one is implying a lot. Super Mario 128 might be less of a game, more of a tech demo. Same for Adam and Even, and that one may have really just been a test program. Maybe Super Mario 128 spawned a lot of different off-shot experimental games, and one of them mutated to Pikmin. Maybe there are elements from other games that never saw the light of day. Just saying something like "Pikmin was inspired by Super Mario 128 and Adam and Even" is enough. Though it doesn't sound as "fun fact"-y as much as it sounds forced. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:12, August 24, 2022 (EDT)
