''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 128|Super Mario 128]]'' was a tech demo made for the [[GameCube]] that showed how the console could handle over a hundred independent entities. This demo is part of what inspired the creation of {{p}}, but while 128 was picked in the demo for being twice as much as [[mariowiki:Super Mario 64|64]] and a power of two, the limit in the ''Pikmin'' games was set at 100, possibly because it is a "rounder" number.
