Some unused textures have been found on the game's disc, portraying [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[bomb-rock]]s. This hints to the fact that, initially, all Pikmin types were designed to carry bomb-rocks. | Some unused textures have been found on the game's disc, portraying [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[bomb-rock]]s.

=== Kingback=== | === Kingback === | ||
'''Kingback''' is the internal name for an unused boss. This enemy is simply the "back" of the [[Emperor Bulblax]] without the lower body. It does nothing if touched/attacked by Olimar or the Pikmin, and simply pushes back any objects if touched. | '''Kingback''' is the internal name for an unused boss.

Although Kingback cannot be damaged, it still has coding for being "killed", where it simply disappears.{{cite youtube|5Dnnq2hSreQ| of Kingback's "death" function being called remotely|published={{date|15|May|2020}}|retrieved={{date|3|March|2023}}}} | Although Kingback cannot be damaged, it still has coding for being "killed", where it simply disappears.{{cite youtube|5Dnnq2hSreQ| of Kingback's "death" function being called remotely|published={{date|15|May|2020}}|retrieved={{date|3|March|2023}}}} | ||
=== Yamash === | |||
There exist 3 "yamash" enemies, <code>yamash3</code>, <code>yamash4</code>, and <code>yamash5</code>. yamash1 and yamash2 do not exist. These enemies all crash the game when spawned, and have no associated model or code. Something of note is that all of their associated IDs come directly after the ID for the cut enemy Usuba, which may suggest a connection. | |||
=== nakata1 === | |||
There is also a <code>nakata1</code> enemy, which like the "yamash" enemies, also crashes the game when spawned and has no associated model or code. This enemy's entry is the last one present in the internal list of all enemy IDs. Tetsuya Nakata is one of the developers credited under game programming in the credits of ''Pikmin''. The enemy's internal name using the last name of a developer suggests a connection, but it's still unknown what the purpose of this enemy was. | |||

=== Deleted objects === | |||
There are a couple of unused objects that no longer exist in the game's code, but their internal names and ID's are still preserved. These objects will usually crash the game when spawned as they no longer exist. Below is a list of the following deleted objects: | |||
* <code>gem1</code> | |||
* <code>gem5</code> | |||
* <code>gem10</code> | |||
* <code>gem20</code> | |||
* <code>gem50</code> | |||
* <code>never use this</code> | |||
* <code>ivy</code> | |||
* <code>cylinder test</code> | |||
* <code>dual test</code> | |||
* <code>rocket</code> | |||
* <code>workobject</code> | |||
The following information can be inferred from the titles: | |||
* <code>never use this</code> was likely an outdated version of an object that was renamed later in development to dissuade developers from accidentally using it. | |||
* <code>rocket</code> likely belonged to an early version of the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. | |||
* The <code>gem</code> objects seem to correspond to earlier versions of [[pellet]]s, based on naming. Interestingly, this naming pattern suggests that a 50-Pikmin pellet used to exist earlier in development, but was eventually cut. | |||

*When a Pikmin is [[throw|held]], its throw height is decided to be at a certain level. Holding the Pikmin for a while increases this value, and the increase stops more or less when the Pikmin's noise ends. However, in the game files, the starting value and the ending value are exactly the same, so this feature has absolutely no impact in the final game. ''Pikmin 2'' has the same parameters, but the code to change the value is gone. | *When a Pikmin is [[throw|held]], its throw height is decided to be at a certain level.
