*The [[Bulborb]] icon used to represent the Piklopedia within the [[area selection menu]] is unique and does not seem to be exactly derived from any particular Bulborb variant in ''Pikmin 2''. Peculiarly, when examined very closely, the icon seems to be derived from the model of the juvenile [[Bulbmin]] (as evidenced by its completely black eyes, leg coloration and proportions, and white spot placement) with the leaf stem removed. Interestingly, the internal name for the texture is <code>chapy</code>, whereas the internal name for Bulborbs is usually spelled <code>chappy</code>. In the Switch re release, a modified version of this icon is used as the standby icon for Bulbmin, strengthening the connection.

*The Piklopedia bears many similarities to the [[bulbapedia:Pokédex|Pokédex]] from the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|''Pokémon'' series]], as both are an encyclopedia of creatures, and both behave very similarly.
