Hello, I'm Scruffy. I've played a lot of video games and the Pikmin series has always held its place as my absolute favorite, by far. First and foremost I am a musician, and I think what really won me over with Pikmin was its expert musical composition and direction. I have studied the music for quite some time, figuring out how it adapts to what occurs in the game. And the first day I got a capable notation software I have been attempting to arrange the Pikmin soundtrack for a synthetic orchestra. Although I'm new to wikis and editing, I hope I can convince readers to listen more closely to this amazing game.

The Orange Bulborb always gave me the most trouble of any enemy, but the Gatling Groink was a close second. In homage to this wonderfully strange creature, I modeled and rendered how a Groink might look in the style of Pikmin 3. A Groink would now have four smokestacks and a crystal on its head instead of a windshield; thus the crystal could be broken with enough Rock Pikmin, but like the Skutterchuck, it would be faster without a crystal in its head. The design is a mix of the classic Gatling Groink and a Celestial Eye goldfish.
