During development of the [[GameCube]], a tech demo was created that showed off multiple [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]s, under the title ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 128|Super Mario 128]]''. This demo demonstrated the console's ability to have several dozens of individual objects on-screen at once. This concept was later recycled and lead to the creation of ''Pikmin''. | During development of the [[GameCube]], a tech demo was created that showed off multiple [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]s, under the title ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 128|Super Mario 128]]''.

While experimenting with the idea for a game, Nintendo came up with a concept | While experimenting with the idea for a game, Nintendo came up with a concept of a god game. According to an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, it would feature the player character as a god, looking over two humans – then called Adam and Eve – that would develop by themselves. They would multiply over time, and depending on the player's decisions, the characters could do things such as fight, or nest and have children. Eventually, it was deemed too uninteractive, and Pikmin were added. Soon after, the whole idea was scrapped, and development for ''Pikmin'' began. The [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], which originated as a mammoth-like creature in that game, was re-used for ''Pikmin''. | ||
The first reveal of the ''Pikmin'' project came in [[Pikmin prerelease information#E3 2001 Tech Demo Show Off|E3 2001]], where [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] played the game live. By that point, the general mechanics resembled the final product, but several assets, resources and quirks were different. | The first reveal of the ''Pikmin'' project came in [[Pikmin prerelease information#E3 2001 Tech Demo Show Off|E3 2001]], where [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] played the game live.
