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, until he looks back again, only to notice 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.

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!]]'' remakes. These pre-rendered cutscenes appear in the following order, 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 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 video shows a [[bridge]] being built, and some Pikmin crossing it after it's done, it shows the [[Yellow Pikmin]]'s ability to carry [[bomb-rock]]s, and it demonstrates the difference between throwing and touching them, and throwing and calling them. It also shows 2 bomb-rock-wielding Pikmin being thrown near an enemy, and one of them throwing its explosive to kill the [[Dwarf Bulborb]], while the other goes back into the group. Afterwards, it shows a stone [[gate]] being taken down with bomb-rocks, a [[twig]] being built and climbed on, and ends with some Pikmin carrying a [[ship part]] to the S.S. Dolphin.

#This video shows the various abilities and how sprays work. It begins by showing Purple Pikmin's strength, White Pikmin's poisoning abilities, and their immunity, Red Pikmin's fire resistance, Blue Pikmin's ability to remain underwater and Yellow Pikmin's resistance to electricity. Afterwards, it shows the [[ultra-spicy spray]] being used to make enemy killing and task completion faster, and finally, it demonstrates an enemy being petrified with an [[ultra-bitter spray]].

*''Pikmin 2'''s attract mode cutscenes appear to have a continuity of Olimar teaching Louie the basics of controlling the Pikmin.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', if Pikmin are part of a cutscene (e.g.: ultra-spicy spray introduction and treasure collection cutscenes) and are under a status effect, their respective effect timers will continue to count down for the length of the cutscene, and lose their effect sooner than other Pikmin. This is best seen when Pikmin are under the effects of an ultra-spicy spray and deliver a treasure. The Pikmin involved will lose their effects sooner than any other Pikmin sprayed at the same time. This is true as well for the enemy used for the ultra-bitter spray introduction cutscene. Despite this, the ultra-spicy and ultra-bitter introduction cutscenes are very short, as the game pauses soon after it starts to display its respective message. Because of this, the cutscene's effects are negligible.
*''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} pre-rendered cutscenes take up a majority of the storage space on the disc. This is due to them being saved in the .thp file format (a type of video file used exclusively in Gamecube and Wii games), which is extremely inefficient at storing data, being essentially just a collection of .jpg files played in sequence.
