The '''enemy reel''' is a video sequence that plays at the end of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', after the [[credits]] sequence, but only if the player successfully completes the game with all 30 [[ship part]]s. It shows brief clips of each enemy in the game, as well as some important plants, and then pauses to give its name and some details. In this way it is similar to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] that appears in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

In {{npcp1}}, the enemy reel plays like in the GameCube version, but takes up less of the screen, and has a flowered animated background behind it. One can tell that the gameplay footage on the clips has not been updated, given that, amongst other things, Captain Olimar uses the GameCube game's [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]. However, the names of the [[Pearly Clamclamp]], [[Wollywog]], [[Yellow Wollywog]], and [[Wogpole]] have been updated to Clampshell, Wollyhop, Yellow Wollyhop, and Wolpole for the European [[Region|version]]. Additionally in the European [[region|version]] of either port, the enemy reel text remains in English, even when the game's text is set to a different language.

In [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch port of ''Pikmin'']], the enemy reel has been re-recorded and revamped, to increase the quality of the footage. This also means many of the original discrepancies seen on a majority of the clips are removed. The "Wollyhop" name change was applied to all English releases, as they had officially changed their name to such in all regions, also seen in {{p4}}.


==Reel==
==Reel==
This list shows the enemies in the same order as they appear in the reel on the [[GameCube]] version of ''Pikmin'', i.e., with the Swooping Snitchbug out of place. As noted above, in the [[Region|European]] port of {{npcp1}}, some enemies were renamed. The Clampshell was moved to its correct alphabetical spot, but the Wolpole was not.
===GameCube===
This gallery shows the enemies in the same order as they appear in the reel on the original [[GameCube]] version of ''Pikmin'', i.e., with the Swooping Snitchbug out of place. The Wii version uses the same footage, but with a border added with an animated flower pattern. As noted above, in the [[Region|European]] port of {{npcp1}}, some enemies were renamed. The Clampshell was moved to its correct alphabetical spot, but the Wolpole was not.

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:
In the GameCube and Wii versions of the enemy reel, 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|earlier during development]]. 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" or "Floating".
