In reality, they cause the least amount of damage of all Pikmin types in this game (tying with White Pikmin), regardless of their opponent. They are only recommended for aerial combat since their flight ability makes it possible for them to chase airborne creatures instead of having to be thrown precisely at them. | * Because of how {{p3}}'s [[data file]]s explain that [[Winged Pikmin]] are great in aerial [[combat]]{{cite quote|Winged Pikmin are aces in aerial combat.|the [[data file]] "Winged Pikmin #4"|''Pikmin 3''}}, many fans interpreted this as meaning that Winged Pikmin cause more damage against airborne [[enemies]]<ref>[http://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title=Winged_Pikmin&oldid=119372 Old revision of the Winged Pikmin page on Pikipedia]</ref>{{cite youtube|0nxKz1HDSvs|of a Let's Player talking about the supposed double damage of Winged Pikmin|m=14|s=45}}.

* Because of the names of the [[ship parts]] given to [[Captain Olimar]] by his children, some fans call the son "Sagittarius" and the daughter "Libra". The two of them are never given a name in [[canon]] media, however. | * Because of the names of the [[ship parts]] given to [[Captain Olimar]] by his children, some fans call the son "Sagittarius" and the daughter "Libra".

* It is commonly stated that ''Pikmin 3'' has 3 endings: a bad ending, a neutral ending, and a good ending. It actually has [[Cutscene#Endings|4 endings]], and the ending a player gets is only dependent on the number of [[fruit]]s collected. | |||

===Blue Pikmin are more likely to be eaten=== | ===Blue Pikmin are more likely to be eaten=== | ||
It | It has long been theorized that [[Blue Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' are more likely to be picked when an enemy lunges at the player's group. It was eventually found that this was partially true, but not intentional. When it is possible for an enemy to eat more Pikmin than its maximum amount, it prioritizes Pikmin earlier in the index of Pikmin on the field. This index is in the order of when the Pikmin entered the field (such as being taken out of the Onion), but when the player enters a [[cave]] sublevel or returns to the overground area, there is no "first" Pikmin, so the Pikmin are added to this index in this order: Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple, White, Bulbmin. For this reason, enemies are more to eat Blue Pikmin. For more information, see [[Combat#Likeliness to die]]. | ||

===Beady Long Legs escape glitch=== | ===Beady Long Legs escape glitch=== | ||
One well known, but hardly reproduced [[Glitches in Pikmin|glitch in ''Pikmin'']] involves luring the [[Beady Long Legs]] out of its intended arena, where it can roam the terrain freely. | One well known, but hardly reproduced [[Glitches in Pikmin|glitch in ''Pikmin'']] involves luring the [[Beady Long Legs]] out of its intended arena, where it can roam the terrain freely. According to the myth, it can also crash the game if it falls into the [[bottomless pit]] of [[The Forest Navel]]. There has been no footage or even reports of this glitch happening, and investigations into the Beady Long Legs's AI has found that there is no way it can happen, which raises the question of how it got documented in the first place. | ||
===''Pikmin 3'' has a removed sixth area=== | |||
It is often said that ''Pikmin 3'' was originally going to have 6 [[area]]s, and that at some point in development, the extra area was combined with the [[Garden of Hope]], which is why the Garden of Hope is the only area to have 2 bosses and 2 Pikmin types. People cite early trailers of ''Pikmin 3'', which contain footage of a river in a lush green area, and leaders being thrown between wooden stumps in the water, as evidence of a removed wetland area, as well as the background of the [[title screen]] and the space between the Distant Tundra and Twilight River in the [[area selection menu]]. However, there is no actual evidence to suggest that there was a sixth area. The terrain in the footage does not match up with the second half of the Garden of Hope, and in some cases resembles the [[Shaded Garden]] more. The title screen actually shows the [[Awakening Wood]]. An [[Unused content in Pikmin 3#Early versions|early version]] of the Garden of Hope in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'''s files still contains 2 boss arenas. While it's not impossible that there was a sixth area early in development, it isn't likely. | |||
