 ==Pikmin==
 {{stub|section=y|Specify the shape and color of each Pikmin type, but take into account each game (''New Play Control!'' versions too). Also, add information on how souls appear during cutscenes, like an extinction cutscene (even in multiplayer), or the end of day cutscene (see gallery).}}
-The Pikmin ones roughly resemble a Pikmin's shape; however, they lack a leaf, bud or flower, don't have feet, and are missing any identifying characteristics such as the Red Pikmin's nose. Their appearance is slightly transparent and details vary between the games. In {{p1}}, every Pikmin has a blue soul, irrelevant of the color of the Pikmin itself, while souls in all other ''Pikmin'' games, including both ''[[New Play Control!]]'' remakes, are representative of the dead Pikmin's type, differing in color and slightly in shape. In {{p3}} they are different being without mouth and arms, for [[Rock Pikmin]] they are more rocky-looking and larger, and for [[Winged Pikmin]] including wings making those two the only types with unique souls from the game. However, in {{p4}}, now they have all the same appearance being similar to as in ''Pikmin 3'', but for the [[Glow Pikmin]] its soul is the only unique one, being a orb-like body and no face or stem and the ghost tail instead of the usual ones and also disappearing different.
+The Pikmin ones roughly resemble a Pikmin's shape; however, they lack a leaf, bud or flower, don't have feet, and are missing any identifying characteristics such as the Red Pikmin's nose. Their appearance is slightly transparent and details vary between the games. In {{p1}}, every Pikmin has a blue soul, irrelevant of the color of the Pikmin itself, while souls in all other ''Pikmin'' games, including {{npcp1}} and {{p1s}}, are representative of the dead Pikmin's type, differing in color. In {{p3}}, the design of the souls is slightly changed, lacking arms and having rounder heads. [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] have unique souls as well; Rock Pikmin's souls are larger and more angular, much like the Rock Pikmin themselves, and Winged Pikmin's souls have a pair of translucent, fluttering wings. In {{p4}}, Rock and Winged Pikmin's souls look the same as the other types, as do [[Ice Pikmin]]{{'s}} souls. The only unique souls in the game are [[Glow Pikmin]]{{'s}}, resembling faceless orbs with ghostly tails, as well as lacking the Pikmin's trademark stems. They also have a small "bursting" animation when they disappear.
-If a Pikmin dies from being thrown into the abyss, it won't release any soul in {{p1}} or {{npcp1}}, but it will in {{p2}} and {{npcp2}}. In {{p3}}, no soul will be seen ascending from the abyss but it will actually be visible on the [[radar]]. No soul will also appear if the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] eats a Pikmin sprout. The fact that souls appear in the radar is particularly important during [[replay]]s, since they show players where and when Pikmin had died.

 In general, Pikmin souls are used as icons in [[menu]]s and [[HUD]]s to represent Pikmin that have died.

-{{game help|p3|Elaborate on how they pop when they disappear. Do Pikmin souls do this? Is the pop audible?}}
 Enemy souls have a pink-purple color and look like a bubble, and leave a transparent trail behind. Two holes resembling eyes are visible near the shape's center. [[Bulbmin]] produce a smaller version of this type of soul when they die. Enemies that do not really "die" do not leave a soul when defeated: this is the case for the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and the [[Gatling Groink]], which can [[Health#Revival|revive]], and the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]], which seems to remain alive even after being defeated. Enemies that die while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] release a soul, but these "non-dying" enemies do not.
-In {{p2}} these souls make an eerie sound when ascending. The sound is much deeper, and the soul is much larger for [[boss]]es. In {{p3}}, enemy souls are blue instead of purple, have small white eyes, and have a small "tail". They also burst with an audible pop after a while. An enemy's death in this game means that the carcass is ready to be [[Carry|carried]] &ndash; the enemy cannot be picked up until the soul is actually seen. Due to the way [[Camera#Off-camera objects|off-camera objects]] are handled, an enemy's soul will not ascend until it is once again visible on-screen.

 In {{p1}} when [[Pearly Clamclamp]] loses its soul when defeated, the creature still seems to be alive afterwards, acting like normal. This is no longer the case in {{p4}}
