Title screen: Difference between revisions

[[File:Pikmin title screen.jpg|thumb|right|Title screen in ''Pikmin''.]]

The screen fades in to some tree's leaves passing by the [[camera]]. As the camera goes down, it eventually stops near the ground, where the flowers of some [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be seen, spelling out the game's name. The words "PRESS START" ("PRESS {{button|wii|a}}" in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'') then appear below that, and, in the bottom, the copyright information.

The screen fades in to show the camera moving down a tree's trunk, with some [[Enemy|enemies]] roaming around it. When it gets to ground level, it stops, showing some white-flowered Pikmin spelling out "PIKMIN" with their leaves, and to the right, some pink-flowered Pikmin spelling out "2". At this point, "PRESS START" (or "PRESS {{button|wii|a}}", in ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2'') appears below the Pikmin, and in the bottom of the screen, the copyright information.

[[File:Pikmin 3 title screen.jpg|thumb|right|Title screen in ''Pikmin 3''.]]

The screen fades in to show a detailed portion of [[PNF-404]], on a forest-like location. A tree trunk can be seen in the distance, and a river takes most of the attention of the scene. Occasionally, Pikmin of varying types are seen moving about in the distance. The game's logo gradually fades in, and the message "PRESS {{button|wiiu|a|wii|a}}" appears. After any of those buttons are pressed or the touchscreen is tapped, the three menu bubbles appear. On the bottom left, there is a small copyright message, and on the bottom right, the [[Update|version]] number.

Interestingly, the terrain shown on the title screen bears a striking resemblance to the [[Awakening Wood]]'s west corridor. The trunk stump seen on the title screen, as well as the surrounding area closer to the screen, matches with the small open space where the [[Geographic Projection]] can be found. The river path further beyond on the title screen matches all the way with the path south of the treasure in the Awakening Wood. Finally, at the end of the path, there is a curved tree. This is almost exactly the same tree with the [[Snagret Hole]]. This can be best seen using a model editor for both pieces of terrain, since the water and perspective don't allow one to see the connection very clearly.
