→Early Perplexing Pool wireframe
(→Videos: Added a section for the E3 2003 Demo Trailer. I also noticed a partial discrepancy about the cave on the manhole in the video (that this appears to be a case of a level design choice being undone twice in development) but I couldn't find a way to fit that in well so I didn't put it in.) |

In the background of the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] and [[Treasure Hoard]] menus, there is a wireframe texture that depicts the [[Perplexing Pool]] seen from above. This wireframe does not match the final Perplexing Pool, but is fairly close to the Piklopedia/Treasure Hoard version of the area. Notably, the landing site is a large circle instead of a large concrete arena. | In the background of the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] and [[Treasure Hoard]] menus, there is a wireframe texture that depicts the [[Perplexing Pool]] seen from above.

That said, there are still differences between the texture and the Perplexing Pool model used in the final game's Piklopedia. For one thing, any artificial objects such as the entire shower floor section where the [[Shower Room]] and the random large objects strewn around the landing site are completely missing. The texture also shows an island(with a high polygon count presumbly, as it is almost completely white) to the southeast of the landing site where no such island exists, and has a big open space at the south; these are like remnants from [[The Distant Spring]]. The [[Yellow Pikmin]] site seems to have walls, but this is unclear. A ramp to left of the landing site that is present in a prerelease screenshot is also present. Finally, most of the out of bounds areas seem to be heavily unfinished. | That said, there are still differences between the texture and the Perplexing Pool model used in the final game's Piklopedia.
