This is a gallery of all the images I've uploaded to Pikipedia.

New Play Control! Pikmin images

In February 2022 I got a capture card, which finally means I can take screenshots of games on my Wii U, including the first 3 Pikmin games. More images will come in the future!

Challenge Mode

Before I started uploading Challenge Mode images, there were only 6 on the entire wiki. Now there are more!

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  One of the enemies is looking straight at the camera.

• 
• 

  The first Pikmin image I uploaded.

• 

  I did not expect that Snagret to be there.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe images

Menus

My main documentation focus for Pikmin 3 Deluxe was the menus.

• 

  I really like this menu.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  My first singleplayer run of the game.

• 
•

  I did this day specifically for these images.

  A 37-Pikmin no-death run.

Walls

I took photos of every wall in Story Mode and edited together particular walls into these photo montages.

Landing sites

In the landing cutscene at the start of each day, there's a 1-frame window at the end where the "Press  / to skip" box disappears and the HUD hasn't started appearing from the edges of the screen. To get these screenshots, I had to press the screenshot button at exactly the right time, and restart the day if I missed. When there were weather effects, I also had to restart the day. And in the Formidable Oak, the first day you land has is a cutscene that leaves the camera in a different place, and once the final boss has appeared, the weather is always rainy, so I had to take the screenshot on the second day of the area without having finished the puzzle. These screenshots were taken to replace an earlier set of screenshots from the original game, and those are linked on the file pages. It's fun to compare the differences. An interesting detail in these screenshots is the locations of the cursor – on the same frame as the frame without the HUD, it's in a seemingly random location, and the next frame it goes to underneath the Onion (unless motion controls are turned on, which they weren't). Some areas seem to have the same location for the cursor.

Radar maps

A few years ago, Espyo made a set of high-quality maps of Pikmin 3 areas, using the textures from the radar. Pikmin 3 Deluxe changed the radar textures, and also introduced a new mini radar which used a stylized version of the terrain. For months we had no maps with these new radar textures, but eventually Espyo was able to get the textures and I was able to combine them into these maps, arranging them to align exactly with the maps from the original game. It was a very fun project, and it's great to have these maps on the wiki.

Story Mode

Various Story Mode images.

Gameplay screenshots

Screenshots taken during gameplay or cutscenes.

• 
• 

  I like the way the camera zooms out on this hill.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  Where do they go?

• 

  This helped me understand the structure of this room.

• 
• 

  RUN

• 
• 
• 

  Do they see each other?

• 

  A really cool glitch.

• 
• 

  These 6 screenshots were taken to demonstrate the Day 1 Escape sequence break.

• 
•

KopPad photographs

Images taken with the KopPad camera.

• 

  The tunnel has 9 sides.

• 
• 

  Will it ever grow?

• 
• 
• 

  Aligning the camera with the center of the plant was hard.

• 
• 
• 

  Cropped to a square shape.

  These images were taken by getting on top of the ledge that surrounds the arena.

• 
• 
• 
• 

  You rarely get to see that this cave has a hole in the ceiling.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  These 4 screenshots were taken by clipping through the ground and taking the photograph while falling through the air.

• 
• 
• 
• 

  3 photographs edited together.

Olimar's Comeback

• 
• 
• 

  The low camera in this area is so weird.

• 

  Why do they walk in a line?

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  A nicely timed shot.

• 
•

  Separated Onions?

• 

  swap

• 
• 
• 

  I really like this image.

• 

  The way the Flighty Joustmite is in the air is so weird to look at.

• 
• 
• 
• 

  Camera clipping through the wall.

• 
• 

  Taken in 2-player mode.

• 
• 

  The bridge here is very odd.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  I timed the parts to get this shot.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe prerelease images

August 5 announcement

Almost all of the screenshots from the initial announcement have been uploaded here.

Gameplay screenshots

• 

  This image revealed that some areas were changing slightly.

• 

  This image showed that dirt walls had texture changes. This was big news at the time.

• 

  This image and a few other ones have separate Japanese and English versions, and there are slight differences between them.

Menu screenshots

• 

  The first image I uploaded.

• 
• 
• 
• 

  This image revealed that all 5 leaders had comments on the Piklopedia. There was a lot of theorizing early on about what these comments could be like.

• 
• 

  What could that meteor be?

• 
• 

No HUD

• 

  I didn't really need to upload these images, but I did it for the sake of completion (and because someone else had already uploaded some of them).

• 
• 
• 

  This one has no HUD, but still has an arrow pointing to the fruit.

• 
• 

  This image left a lot of unanswered questions. Why was there a cinder block, or a Cupid's Grenade, or a brick in the ground, or a SPERO?

August 28 Japanese website update

It's so strange that so many images were only put on the Japanese website...

Website images

• 
• 
• 

  The wind effect looks different to how it looked in the original game.

• 

  This image was the most mysterious one in the August 28^th release. What could those additional options in the background be?

Video screenshots

These images was created by taking a screenshot of either the trailer or one of the demonstration videos, and then cropping and resizing the image.

• 

  A better view of the altered dirt walls.

• 

  Grass in the Tropical Wilds?

• 

  Camera angles like this certainly weren't possible in the original...

• 

  My favorite image from the set.

• 

  This confirmed that it wasn't just dirt walls getting texture changes.

• 
• 
• 
• 

  This confirmed that there were actually object changes in areas.

• 

  This showed that the button was used to lock on. The changed lock-on mechanics caused a lot of speculation around controls.

• 

  This image was incredibly interesting at the time, because it showed an entirely new way of switching leaders.

• 

  This was also very interesting, as it showed that there was a way to charge with only 1 Pikmin type at a time.

• 
• 

  For the Pikmin family article.

October promotional images

There aren't many images to upload from this period since the demo also came out and much better images could be taken from there. The excitement of images with tiny differences was gone.

• 

  This image was very mysterious, as all the evidence pointed towards it being from the hidden epilogue.

• 

  Another beautiful aerial view, sadly spoilt by the watermark in the corner.

• 
• 

  This would have been incredibly interesting a month earlier, but a lot of image excitement was removed by the demo.

• 

  Uploaded as a comparison to the first side story image.

• 
• 
• 

  Beautiful.

Pikmin Bloom images

Screenshots

It's very difficult to get screenshots of Pikmin Bloom for the wiki, because there's information that could give away your location on almost every screen. That's why there aren't many screenshots yet. These ones are all cropped as well to remove the information at the top of the screen or to focus on the subject.

• 
• 

  I took lots of screenshots in the tutorial for things like this.

• 

  This is actually from the tutorial.

Textures

Most Pikmin Bloom images that needed to be uploaded were textures – the 150+ types of Decor Pikmin, all the types of petals and nectar, and much more. These are just the ones I uploaded.

Real world images

Most of these were uploaded to replace existing images on the wiki that were probably just taken from Google Images without checking the source or license. These all have open licenses.
