*I tried searching around the textures for Olimar's icon, in ''Pikmin'', but the only thing I could find was an arrow pointing up that looked like it was it... except it was shrunk down vertically by 50%. Actually, let's switch perspective: in-game, the texture of a square-ratio'd arrow is stretched to make it longer. I think. Either that, or the actual long triangle texture is somewhere that I missed. Anyway, this normal arrow stretched looks like it fits. | *I tried searching around the textures for Olimar's icon, in ''Pikmin'', but the only thing I could find was an arrow pointing up that looked like it was it... except it was shrunk down vertically by 50%.

*The treasure star and S.S. Dolphin icons are the only textures that are exactly the same as they are inside the game. However, on the radar screen, the S.S. Dolphin icon has some sort of purple outline... I think it's applied on the texture's darker parts, but no experiment I did could yield similar results as to what is seen in-game, so I decided to upload the unaltered image and get it over with. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 20:16, 22 August 2013 (EDT) | *The treasure star and S.S.

== Ruler == | |||
In P3, when you pan the radar around, there's a ruler of sorts. Its Koppaite text says "centi", which is likely short for "centimeter". The ruler has big dashes, with 4 small dashes in-between. I figured that each big dash represents 10cm, and using that as a basis, I measured that the Scornet Maestro's arena has a diameter of around 27cm, which sounds about right. So if one day, somebody ever investigates that ruler in detail, this info might be a good base to start on. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 18:18, 26 June 2017 (EDT) | |||
