Some object placements and level geometries are different between what is in the reel and the final game. This, in addition to slightly different graphical effects, camera work, and a minor ordering oversight, leads to the conclusion that the reel was created somewhat [[Pikmin prerelease information|early during development]]. The following has been noted to be [[Mistake|incorrect]] in the enemy reel:

The following has been noted to be [[Mistake|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 hints that the early name of the creature likely started with the word "Flying".

The following partial discrepancies can also be noted:

*The [[Gravity Jumper]] seems to be yellow, on the [[Shearwig]] clip, athough it's probably an issue with the lighting.

*The [[Mamuta]] and an Iridescent Flint Beetle appear in The Distant Spring. This is only possible in the final game in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|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 [[Blue Pikmin]] weren't unlocked yet on the [[Smoky Progg]] clip. While it is possible to get to [[The Distant Spring]] without Blue Pikmin, it is highly unlikely that the player would have not unlocked Blue Pikmin before even being able to access [[The Distant Spring]].

*The enemy reel states that the Spotty Bulbear has "A certain infatigability", meaning it doesn't get tired. However, in ''Pikmin'', Spotty Bulbears spend much of their time sleeping.
