Cutscene: Difference between revisions

{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y|p4=y|hp=y}}

Night falls, and Olimar must leave. Before going in, he turns back at the Pikmin, who are all in a straight line looking at him. They then turn their heads to the left in order, forming a little wave. Olimar waves goodbye in the hope that they'll understand. The Pikmin then turn their heads right in order, forming another small wave. With a sigh, Olimar just shakes his head and proceeds to take off. Shortly after, a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] appears, and the line of Pikmin, now knowing what to do, thanks to Olimar, are quick to fight it off. The S.S. Dolphin is shown flying in space, and several Onions, even some with previously unseen types, are seen following it.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the major cutscenes can be re-seen in the [[bonuses menu]] option on the [[title screen]]. These are all in the form of pre-rendered video sequences.

===Opening Cinema===

Horrified, Olimar drops [[Shizakipiki Soda|a bottle cap he brought along]].

===Debt Repayment Cinema===

Olimar takes off, unhappy that he had to go in such a hurry. He looks behind him to the Pikmin planet. He then remembers about the Pikmin that helped him, imagining their faces on the planet's surface. He faces forward again to resume flying, only to realize something and he looks back again, seeing that Louie is not in his cockpit. It's too late to go back, as the ship is already warping. The camera then zooms back to show part of the planet.

===Goal Completion Cinema===

===Treasure Completion Cinema===

*If the player chooses to quit a [[cave]] from the [[pause menu]], either in the main story mode or [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], [[Hocotate ship|the Ship]]'s research pod will beam the leader(s) up and take them to safety. In the main story mode, the Pikmin will not be visible, implying they were beamed prior to the cutscene, but in Challenge Mode, the Pikmin remain on the ground, showing that the leaders quit without them.

A now "real" scene of the leaders hurdling towards PNF-404 appears, as well as the words "Pikmin 3"/"Pikmin 3 Deluxe", as its theme briefly plays.

Yellow Pikmin look at Charlie while the camera is viewing from his perspective. After he comes to, they flee, and the camera then zooms out, revealing him and the [[Distant Tundra]].

{{transcript|Though not entirely satisfied, the explorers managed to secure a modest supply of edible matter for their home planet. Yet still they wondered, can this handful of seeds really bring salvation to the people of Koppai? Even if they carefully cultivate the seeds they've harvested, it may not be enough to support the entire population. This thought hovers over the explorers as they embark on their journey. Along with their cargo they carry with them a sense of unease.|block=y}}

{{transcript|And so the intrepid explorers succeed in securing a reasonable supply of edible matter for their home planet. If they carefully cultivate the seeds they've harvested, they just may bring salvation to the people of Koppai. However if they once again squander their resources, salvation may only be temporary. But fate will decide whether history repeats itself.|block=y}}

{{transcript|And so the intrepid explorers succeed in securing a healthy supply of edible matter for their home planet. If they carefully cultivate the seeds they've harvested, it will surely bring an end to Koppai's food-supply crisis. And, while brief, the explorers' time working together with the Pikmin has taught them the wisdom of "planning." That wisdom will be the key to harnessing these newfound resources. Simply put, their fate is in their own hands.|block=y}}

{{transcript|And so the intrepid explorers successfully complete their mission. After securing a bountiful supply of edible matter and learning the valuable lessons of planning and teamwork, the explorers are set to become the saviors of their home planet. Under their guidance, the seeds they've recovered will be used to kick off a sustainable cycle of cultivation and harvesting, thus bringing new life to Koppai. However, one question remains: what was the cause of the accident that sent the S.S. Drake hurtling to PNF-404's surface? Perhaps, it wasn't an accident after all.|block=y}}

*On the first day, when [[Charlie]] is exploring the Distant Tundra, he is eventually surrounded by a group of wild [[Yellow Pikmin]]. The game then teaches the player how to [[whistle]], [[throw]] and [[dismiss]], by having Charlie attempt those three things in order to shoo away the Yellow Pikmin.

*When Alph finds the first Rock Pikmin, a tutorial takes place where the Rock Pikmin attempt to crack open a [[crystal]] with the Rock [[Onion]] in it. The player can either stand and watch as they do so, or whistle them and throw them at it, which are the only two options.

*When Alph and Brittany are reunited on the [[Garden of Hope]], a tutorial takes place with Alph throwing Brittany and some Pikmin atop a ledge, and then Brittany throw the Pikmin up the second ledge to get fruit. This tutorial teaches about throwing and switching leaders.

*A small cutscene plays when Charlie's section of the first day ends, which shows him being ambushed by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] as the Yellow Pikmin flee.

*When landing on the Distant Tundra for the first time, a cutscene shows Alph and Brittany's separation.

*At the start of every [[Mission Mode]] stage, a brief cutscene shows the general layout of the stage as the leaders warm up.

For ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', as well as the ''New Play Control!'' releases, if the player is idle on the title screen for long enough, the game will start showing a bit of gameplay, to show new players how the game works. Because of the different controls, these vary between game and between the GameCube originals and ''[[New Play Control!]]'' releases. These pre-rendered cutscenes appear in the order listed below, and loop over to the first one after the last one plays.{{cite youtube|w-RnfB5FQIc|showing the attraction mode from ''Pikmin''}}{{cite youtube|7aalZyDMLio|showing the cutscenes of the Attraction Mode from ''Pikmin 2''}}{{cite youtube|OHE3hVUmn3g|showing the cutscenes of the Attraction Mode from ''New Play Control! Pikmin ''}}{{cite youtube|GnNE76p85mk|showing the cutscenes of the Attraction Mode from ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2''}} The [[Nintendo Switch]] versions of ''[[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 1]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 2]]'' remove these cutscenes entirely.

''Pikmin 3'' does not have any attraction mode cutscene, but the player can rewatch the prologue cutscene by staying about 4 minutes on the title screen. This cutscene can also be watched by starting a new game. If the player watches it by staying on the title screen, they will have to restart the game (once the cutscene finishes) to watch it again; waiting again will not trigger the cutscene a second time.

#This video demonstrates [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] being called out of an [[Onion]], it shows the ability to [[dismiss]] the group, and how that should be used to choose the right Pikmin type to carry the appropriate [[pellet]]s, shows Pikmin being [[pluck]]ed, and shows how they can take down [[gate]]s together. Curiously, the latter clip shows 19 total Pikmin in the landing site of [[The Forest of Hope]] at the start of day 2. This is impossible in the final game since the player needs at least 20 Pikmin to finish day 1, and there is no way for Pikmin to die until after that gate has been destroyed.

#The second one shows a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] being attacked and its corpse being [[carry|carried]] afterwards. Then, it demonstrates the fact that Red Pikmin cannot reach high ledges, but [[Yellow Pikmin]] can. Those Red Pikmin are shortly afterwards shown helping the Yellow Pikmin carry the pellet that was on the ledge. It then shows Pikmin carrying a pellet against a [[Breadbug]]'s strength, it shows an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] being attacked, and a path covered with [[Sheargrub]]s, to which the player goes back the way they came.

#This cutscene shows how [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s work, how [[bridge]]s are made, how [[bag]]s can be walked on, it shows the entrance to caves, the interior and their treasures, and their exit geyser. Afterwards, it shows a couple of strong enemies and bosses.

#This movie shows how {{button|wii|a}} can be used to open an [[Onion menu|Onion's menu]], shows that {{button|wii|c}} can be used to [[dismiss]], shows that {{button|wii|b}} switches Pikmin type while holding a Pikmin with {{button|wii|a}}, and shows that {{button|wii|padd}} can [[swarm]].

#A video showing the [[Main Engine]] being carried and delivered, [[Yellow Pikmin]] collecting some [[bomb-rock]]s, two bomb-rock-carrying Pikmin being thrown at an enemy, but only one throwing its bomb, Yellow Pikmin blowing up a [[gate]], but with one of them caught in an explosion, and {{button|wii|padd}} being used to instruct Pikmin to take down a gate and a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]].

#This video shows Pikmin being eaten by a [[Dwarf Bulborb]], swallowed a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], tossed by a [[Swooping Snitchbug]], blown by a [[Puffy Blowhog]], run over by an [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]'s rock, crushed by a [[Wollywog]] and being set ablaze by nearby [[fire geyser]]. Finally, it shows Pikmin being thrown and defeating a Dwarf Red Bulborb, killing two Red Bulborbs, flipping over an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] and carrying its spoils, and knocking off [[nectar]] from a [[Honeywisp]].

#The first cutscene shows the [[Onion menu]] being accessed with {{button|wii|a}}, some Pikmin being withdrawn, it shows that {{button|wii|c}} can be used to [[dismiss]] the group, shows that {{button|wii|b}} can be used to switch Pikmin types while holding {{button|wii|a}}, shows {{button|wii|padd}} being used to [[swarm]] and shows them being ordered in that fashion to attack and destroy a [[gate]].

#This video shows the [[Sunseed Berry]] being collected, shows that leaders can be switched with {{button|wii|-}}, shows that {{button|wii|2}} can be used to deploy an [[ultra-spicy spray]], as well as some Pikmin attacking a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] while powered up, and shows that {{button|wii|1}} deploys an [[ultra-bitter spray]], by using it on a [[Yellow Wollywog]].

#This cutscene shows a single [[Purple Pikmin]] carrying a red 10 [[pellet]], shows two [[White Pikmin]] being eaten by a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], who then dies of poisoning, shows White Pikmin destroying a [[poison emitter]], [[Red Pikmin]] destroying a [[fire geyser]], [[Blue Pikmin]] walking underwater, and [[Yellow Pikmin]] tearing down and destroying an [[electric gate]].

# Similar to the Japan-only ''[[Ai no Uta]]'' movie in the original ''Pikmin'', an exclusive movie found only in the Japanese release of ''New Play Control! 2'' will play with the song ''[[Tane no Uta]]'', which also features karaoke lyrics. This movie can also be accessed instantly if the player has both {{button|wii|1}} and {{button|wii|2}} held down on the title screen when the attraction mode begins.
