'''Iwagen''' is the internal name for an unused object in the game. The name is a Romanization of "rock generator" and, as its name indicates, it spits out boulders, much like an [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]. It lacks a [[health]] counter, meaning it was possibly planned to serve as an [[obstacle]]. Its removal from the game could've come from its odd appearance, and how it does not match the surrounding elements in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' franchise]]. It can be found in some unused stages, like [[testmap]]. Curiously, It resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]]. | '''Iwagen''' is the internal name for an unused object in the game.

'''Usuba''' is the internal name for another unused enemy. The name is a Romanization of "ウスバ", which is shorthand for ウスバカゲロウ. This, in turn, translates to Antlion. As its name and appearance indicates, it would have flown, though not much else is known about it. Attempting to spawn Usuba by any method crashes the game for an unknown reason. The surprisingly developed parameters for this enemy suggests that it was last developed around the same time as Iwagen. Interestingly, these same parameters suggest it would have been tied for the highest HP of any enemy (at 5000 HP) and supposedly would have spawned Smokey Proggs! However, it is possible that the enemy in Smokey Progg's position changed during development, so the latter fact cannot be confirmed. | '''Usuba''' is the internal name for another unused enemy.
