In order to save resources, only elements visible by the camera are fully active.

The third state is when an enemy is completely disabled. By being off-camera and far away (at least around the size of a Red Bulborb past the camera), the enemy will not be rendered nor processed – effectively, the enemy is frozen in time until it is approached again. This can be seen with, for instance, a [[Yellow Wollywog]] staying in mid-air if the player leaves mid-jump, and only landing when the player finally goes near it again. [[Pellet Posy]] pellets will also not change color while off-camera. | The third state is when an enemy is completely disabled.

[[File:NPC silhouette.jpg|thumb|left|Olimar's silhouette, in red, can be seen in the parts of his body that are obscured.]] | |||
In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, the camera is always centered on the current leader, to allow a consistent field of vision. In {{p3}}, Pikmin follow the leaders in a narrow line, and the camera always attempts to center itself so it can capture all of the line. This way, the maximum amount of Pikmin are always visible, but this can mean the leaders' view ahead is sometimes obscured. | |||
In {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, and ''Pikmin 3'', if a leader is behind the area's geometry or an object, from the camera's perspective, their obscured parts will be drawn as a solid silhouette, so the player can tell that the leader is behind that. Each leader's silhouette matches the leader's main color, like red for [[Captain Olimar]], cyan for [[Alph]], etc. Pikmin do not have this silhouette. | |||
