Wistful Wild: Difference between revisions

Jump to navigation Jump to search
(Rewrote the introduction, alongside the other Pikmin 2 area articles, for consistency. Some information was moved elsewhere in the article.)
(→‎Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard: I decided to look into the claim about the "tighter path in the impact site area" using Noclip.website. Noclip.website's saves the position of the camera using a "ShareData" header in the URL; using this, I found out that the pathways are sized exactly the same (the different leaf placement above that path probably confused the writer) and I have found a bunch of other differences which I've noted.)

When the [[Hocotate ship]]'s icon is placed on top of the Wistful Wild and the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] or the [[Treasure Hoard]] are entered, the archives will be seen on a different model which has identical level design to the one used in the in-game Wistful Wild, in contrast to what happens with the other areas, which have some notable differences.

The most obvious difference between the in-game Wistful Wild and the Piklopedia version is a change in background theme; while the Wistful Wild version takes place in an autumn-themed forest plain with some stumps, the version used in both the Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard is situated between a dense bamboo forest and an actual autumn forest with actual, modeled, trees. A lone leaf on a stump at the pathway separating the section with the [[Anti-hiccup Fungus]] and the section with the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s is also positioned slightly differently, over the poisonous black gate that would be present in the in-game area. The red leaves seen during the landing cutscene are absent.
The most obvious difference between the in-game Wistful Wild and the Piklopedia version is a change in background theme; while the Wistful Wild version takes place in an autumn-themed forest plain with some stumps, the version used in both the Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard is situated between a dense bamboo forest and an actual autumn forest with actual, modeled, trees. The following differences can also be noticed:
 
* A lone leaf on a stump at the pathway separating the section with the [[Anti-hiccup Fungus]] and the section with the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s is positioned slightly differently, over the poisonous black gate that would be present in the in-game area.
The only noteworthy difference in the general level design aside from the background is that the pathway separating the section with the [[Anti-hiccup Fungus]] and the section with the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s is a bit tighter in the Piklopedia variant.
* The red leaves seen during the landing cutscene are absent.
* The stump containing the Hole Of Heroes in the final has parts of its surrounding rock walls slightly lower, making its walls look sharper.
* The two stumps that have walkable ramps and a slide have the walls slightly lower. They also both have different mapping; the right stump in particular, has incorrect bark mapping and a single vertex on the inside that has its vertex color completely brown.
* The wall to the right of the exit leading out of the landing site has its terrain a bit more lower. One of the leaves on top of that terrain has been moved as a result.
*Minor scenery and minor texture mapping differences. These differences can be seen on background flora, the walls in the section that contains the [[Conifer Spire]], and the crack left by the clog.
