Enemy reel: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:29, November 28, 2012

The Creature Montage is a video sequence that plays at the end of Pikmin after the player successfully completes the game with all ship parts. It shows brief clips of each enemy in the game and then pauses to give its name and some details. In this way it is similar to the Piklopedia that appears in Pikmin 2. In New Play Control! Pikmin, the video is exactly the same, but takes up less of the screen, and has a flowered animated background.

Oversights

The enemies appear in alphabetical order with the exception of the Swooping Snitchbug, which appears after the Fiery Blowhog. This leads to indicate that the Creature Montage may have been made somewhat early in development, and it seems that the prototype name for the Swooping Snitchbug would be "Flying Snitchbug", or something similar, in order to belong in that spot. As a note, some of the enemies in the Creature Montage seem to appear in locations that that they do not normally appear in, in both the main game and the challenge mode, which is further proof of the montage's early creation.

Montage

This list shows the enemies in the same order as they appear in the Creature Montage, i.e., with the Swooping Snitchbug out of place.

Armored Cannon Beetle
This migrant lithopod has developed a stronger carapace than its relatives.
Beady Long Legs
Waxy secretions form this creature's distinctive armored shell.
Breadbug
This creature's thick hide protects it from most attackers.
Burrowing Snagret
The bluish hue of its feathers distinguishes it from the burrowing snarrow.
Candypop Bud
Could this be the next step in Pikmin evolution? Like the Pikmin themselves, it has many mysteries.
Dwarf Bulbear
A bulbear at an early stage of development in its life-cycle, this specimen appears to be nearly fully developed.
Dwarf Bulborb
Although similar in appearance to bulborbs, these belong to a totally different species.
Emperor Bulblax
This massive grub-dog buries itself when hunting.
Fiery Blowhog
This creature expels a combustible phosphor that ignites at moderate temperatures.
Swooping Snitchbug
This rare species uses its antennae as wings.
Goolix
A watery gelatinous membrane protects this creature's nervous system.
Honeywisp
This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest.
Iridescent Flint Beetle
This forager stores undigested pellets in its stomach for winter.
Mamuta
This creature seems fond of flowers, but only for their decorative properties.
Pearly Clamclamp
Though beautiful, this mollusk's pearls are thin and fragile.
Pellet Posy
This sparsely growing plant is able to crystallize nectar into round pellets.
Puffstool
Many consider this walking fungus a delicacy.
Puffy Blowhog
Instead of breathing fire, this species uses its hydrogen to float.
Sheargrub
Males of this species are purple and have an armored head.
Shearwig
The males of this species are able to fly, but the females remain underground.
Smoky Progg
Thought to be a malformed larval Mamuta.
Spotty Bulbear
This rare subspecies of bulborb has a certain indefatigability.
Spotty Bulborb
This nocturnal hunter feeds mostly on small animals returning to their nests at night.
Water Dumple
This aquatic creature is a close relative of the bulborb.
Wogpole
This creature appears to be a newborn yellow wollywog in tadpole form.
Wollywog
This creature's coloration results from remaining sheltered in its cavernous dwelling.
Yellow Wollywog
After evolution led to the development of its specialized jumping ability, this amphibian actually lost much of its ability to swim.
