The enemy reel is a video sequence that plays at the end of Pikmin after the player successfully completes the game with all 30 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. One can tell the video has not been updated given that, amongst other things, the cursor on the gameplay footage remains the same as the GameCube variant, and the names of the Wollywog, Yellow Wollywog and Wolpole have not been updated to Wollyhop, Yellow Wollyhop and Wolpole in the European version. Wollywogs are named Wollyhops in the Voyage Log, but one can only assume that the rename was intended for the other two creatures as well, judging from the naming pattern and from the names given by New Play Control! Pikmin 2.
Reel
This list shows the enemies in the same order as they appear in the reel, 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.
Discrepancies
Some object placements and level geometry is different between the reel and the final game. This, in addition to a minor ordering oversight, leads to the conclusion that the reel was created somewhat early during development. The following has been noted to be incorrect in the enemy reel:
- All enemies appear in alphabetical order, with the exception of the Swooping Snitchbug, which appears after the Fiery Blowhog. This points out the fact that the prototype name of the creature was likely "Flying Snitchbug".
- The Goolix (as well as a Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud) can be seen on The Forest Navel, despite never being encountered in this area in the final game.
- On the Iridescent Flint Beetle clip, one can spot the Extraordinary Bolt, albeit on The Distant Spring, and with a green top.
- A Red Bulborb can be seen in place of a Spotty Bulbear on The Distant Spring, in the Candypop Bud, Dwarf Bulborb and Yellow Wollywog clips.
- In the Water Dumple clip, the Positron Generator can be seen resting on a Pearly Clamclamp, and on the Wogpole clip, it is seen on water, despite the area being The Distant Spring in both cases.
- The path that leads to the southern island in The Distant Spring has raised edges on the parts where the bridge should start and end; the bridge is also absent.
- The rocky ledge on The Impact Site only has one Pellet Posy, yet on the plant's clip, a Posy and a Red 1-Pellet can be seen on the same ledge.
The following partial discrepancies can also be noted:
- The Mamuta and an Iridescent Flint Beetle appear in The Distant Spring. This is only possible in the final game in Challenge Mode, but it's unlikely that the footage for these clips was taken in Challenge Mode. That mode must have been added later into the game than the time in which the clips were recorded, and it would make more sense to show clips of enemies as they were encountered during the actual adventure, and not the non-canon Challenge Mode.
- It seems that 3 Pikmin are carrying a 1-Pellet in the Breadbug clip, provided that some of the Pikmin aren't actually idling near the Onion's beam. In the release version of the game, only 2 Pikmin may carry a 1-Pellet at a time. It's possible that at an earlier point in the game's development, it was possible to have 3 Pikmin carry one, or alternately, a glitch manifested itself during recording. This oddity can also be seen in the instruction manual.
