Trivia

The placeholder image.

On the US website, when the comic is loading, a alternate artwork of "The Skies Clear" is shown while it’s loading.
The comics "The Skies Clear" and "The Sting of Loss" appear in the background of the Pikmin Garden main page, near the Schedule Book button.
Strangely, despite the comics occurring during Pikmin 4, the White Pikmin's poison is shown to be purple and liquid. In-game, poison is bright-turquoise.
