The enemy reel is a video sequence that plays at the end of Pikmin after the player successfully completes the game. It shows brief clips of each enemy in the game and then pauses to give its name and some details. In this way it is similar to the Piklopedia that appears in Pikmin 2. In New Play Control! Pikmin, the video is exactly the same, but takes up less of the screen, and has a flowered animated background.
Reel
This list shows the enemies in the same order as they appear in the reel, i.e., with the Swooping Snitchbug out of place.
Armored Cannon Beetle This migrant lithopod has developed a stronger carapace than its relatives. 
Beady Long Legs Waxy secretions form this creature's distinctive armored shell. 
Breadbug This creature's thick hide protects it from most attackers. 
Burrowing Snagret The bluish hue of its feathers distinguishes it from the burrowing snarrow. 
Candypop Bud Could this be the next step in Pikmin evolution? Like the Pikmin themselves, it has many mysteries. 
Dwarf Bulbear A bulbear at an early stage of development in its life-cycle, this specimen appears to be nearly fully developed. 
Dwarf Bulborb Although similar in appearance to bulborbs, these belong to a totally different species. 
Emperor Bulblax This massive grub-dog buries itself when hunting. 
Fiery Blowhog This creature expels a combustible phosphor that ignites at moderate temperatures. 
Swooping Snitchbug This rare species uses its antennae as wings. 
Goolix A watery gelatinous membrane protects this creature's nervous system. 
Honeywisp This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest. 
Iridescent Flint Beetle This forager stores undigested pellets in its stomach for winter. 
Mamuta This creature seems fond of flowers, but only for their decorative properties. 
Pearly Clamclamp Though beautiful, this mollusk's pearls are thin and fragile. 
Pellet Posy This sparsely growing plant is able to crystallize nectar into round pellets. 
Puffstool Many consider this walking fungus a delicacy. 
Puffy Blowhog Instead of breathing fire, this species uses its hydrogen to float. 
Sheargrub Males of this species are purple and have an armored head. 
Shearwig The males of this species are able to fly, but the females remain underground. 
Smoky Progg Thought to be a malformed larval Mamuta. 
Spotty Bulbear This rare subspecies of bulborb has a certain indefatigability. 
Spotty Bulborb This nocturnal hunter feeds mostly on small animals returning to their nests at night. 
Water Dumple This aquatic creature is a close relative of the bulborb. 
Wogpole This creature appears to be a newborn yellow wollywog in tadpole form. 
Wollywog This creature's coloration results from remaining sheltered in its cavernous dwelling. 
Yellow Wollywog After evolution led to the development of its specialized jumping ability, this amphibian actually lost much of its ability to swim.
Discrepancies

To do: Complete this list. |
Some object placements and level geometry is different between the reel and the final game. This, in addition to a minor ordering oversight, leads to the conclusion that the reel was created somewhat early during development. The following has been noted to be incorrect in the enemy reel:
- All enemies appear in alphabetical order, with the exception of the Swooping Snitchbug, which appears after the Fiery Blowhog. This points out the fact that the prototype name of the creature was likely "Flying Snitchbug".
- On the Iridescent Flint Beetle clip, one can spot the Extraordinary Bolt, albeit on The Distant Spring, and with a green top.
- On the Wogpole clip, the Positron Generator can be seen, despite the area being The Distant Spring.
- The Goolix can be seen on The Forest Navel, despite never being encountered in this area in the final game.
- A Red Bulborb can be seen in place of a Spotty Bulbear on The Distant Spring, in the Yellow Wollywog clip.
