Pikmin has had several different types throughout the franchise's history, but just how many are there? This Iceberg Chart will cover all of the Pikmin Types, even the ones Nintendo doesn't want you to see.
The boss fight with Mr. L min was the most climatic fight of the franchise. The way the dimensional rift open up and Mario stepped out and said “ you’re part of a bigger Nintendo franchise” and had super smash brothers Be cannon was absolute bonkers.
I would like to note that whenever the Pikmin 3 concept art talks about "building" they are specifically referring to the bridge/pot building mechanic introduced in Pikmin 3. During early development the mechanic was a lot different and instead of carrying the bridge pieces to the location of the bridge like a line of ants, they would pick up the pieces and follow the captain around kinda like they did with bomb rocks.
It's worth noting that while Rock and Ice Pikmin are parasitic, they are still part of the Pikminidae genus like the other core Pikmin types, while bulbmin are part of the Parasiticus genus.
@@apocalypseofplush Bulbmin were part of the Pikmin family, alongside all the other Pikmin, who only got scientific names in 4. While the Pikminicus species is a bit strange, they're were clearly distinguished at the genus level. I think if they wanted to, Nintendo could have put rock and ice pikmin in the Parasiticus genus. Until bulbmin are in another game, and their scientific name changed, I'm assuming this is intentional. At minimum though, they're recognized as different species, rather than subspecies, or even just different hosts like the moldy slooch.
@@nyon7209 These scientific names aren't meant to be taken that seriously (after all, the Watery Blowhog is explicitly a subspecies of Fiery Blowhog and yet has a whole different scientific name). The devs care about the creatures' families and whatnot, but the genera seem to be mostly decoration. Anyways, in Japan, the technical names for these Pikmin are basically "Parasitic Pikmin", "Rock Parasitic Pikmin" and "Ice Parasitic Pikmin", so there's clearly supposed to be a connection there.
@@Wario-The-Legend i'd like to connect these two ideas in some way, maybe bring back a sort of subtle gender detail where male pikmin become onions and female pikmin become candypop buds
I never actually paid attention that Rock and Ice Pikmin were the parasitic Pikmin using Rocks and Ice for defense, and that they were called Hermikmin! Thats really cool!
the amount of Pikmin types that could have been and might be is amazing there are a lot more that I originally though I knew about some scrapped ones and all of the ones we can use in game but some of these I have never seen. I feel that before they even think of adding some of these they should try and balance the old Pikmin types the balancing in each game gets worse and worse I hate to think about how awfully balanced they will be in Pikmin 5. Also would love to see more ice burg videos like this an idea I would suggest is unused content for the Pikmin series like Bulbmin in Pikmin 3 yellow bulborbs in Pikmin 2 and that weird thing that spits rocks that is left in the code of Pikmin 1.
Amazing video! I love Pikmin type talk! However you missed a few. - E3 2013 Beta Rock Pikmin - Winged Pikmin were originally Orange - The Ghost Pikmin that turns your team invisible in 2 player battles. - Golden PikPik Carrots
My favorite moment in Pikmin was when I threw a red pikmin in a blue candypop bud. But then, Moss came by and said, “You’ll never be a blue pikmin.” Poor fella got wrecked by facts and logic.
I always thought pikmin was going for a child's first claymation aesthetic but Tim Burton's makes perfect sense. Gattling groinks design finally makes sense.
12:09 That Pikmin design looks quite similar to the icon used when your Pikmin are invisible in Pikmin 2's Battle Mode Also, I don't know if you take video ideas, but an cool idea this video gave me is the possibility of ranking every Pikmin's "best game" (ie, Purples being 2 and Rocks being 3, particularly 3 on the Wii U, since I've read they were nerfed in Deluxe. Idk if those are accurate, but those are just random examples.) Either way, great video!
SInce you mentioned the Bulbmin-Bulblax swimming thing eventually making its way into Pikmin 4 with Oatchi, I also want to point that in the Dwarf Bulborb's piklopedia notes for Pikmin 3, Brittany suggests the idea of riding on its back, which I think may have been the inspiration for the other thing Oatchi does
I'm gonna guess thats from the Colossal caverns mod. Its essentially a single floor challenge to grab every treasure in the game, Theres tons of customization options and even a secret game mode, the password revealed to you after you beat the game.
7:01 wouldn’t Bulbmin count as Orange? Knowing that their sprouts are Orange, and cursor when they are at the front of your squad is orange? I know they don’t have an Onion, but it would make sense since there aren’t any official Orange Pikmin yet
Potentially but some people think they might be green. We will have to wait for Nintendo to confirm what the Parasite Pikmin look like to make a conclusion
@@imonlyhereforpikminwell in Pikmin 2 when disbanded their Leaf Glow Color is green, And when checking the map their square is green too But strangely the Cone color above the circle redical in Pikmin 2 is orange
The Bean Pikmins ability, Constructing Bridges and Ropes with their body’s, I think that was a theory (I think) in Pikmin 4 there’s a couple names in the files about some kinda pikmin projectiles maybe belonging too the bean pikmin because of the fact that they’re in the flies in the pikmin table.
Thumbnail fits with the video's theme? Check. Is the thumbnail creative? Check. Related to my favorite video game series that deservers more love and this question is so long and oddly specific? Check.
11:10 I actually didnt know this was a consept, which makes me feel less special for thinking of it before i knew. Although i think it would work better if it was more like a enemy that disguises itself as a candypop bud
If you're wondering, the idea of purple pikmin being black was scrapped because of possible...racial implications...that may come from it. Nintendo likely remembered a similar scandal with the Pokemon Jynx and were like "nope".
I know the Pikmin, as a non player, are funky lil guys. And the blue Pikmin must always be put in harms way for some reason?? What does Nintendo have against the blue guys???
Idk that it has to be an iceberg but you could make a 1 billion hour video talking about the pikmin 2 bestiary notes mmmm Louie eat that bulborb mmmm yeah now eat that Wollyhop oooooo yaaaaa now dig into that Cannon Beetle butter that little worm up mmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm
you forgot to include that miyamoto wanted to originally call pikmin pikeman and make olimar say “pikes should take a hike” on the game cover
This concept was later repurposed for Fiddle! Me This, a 2D spinoff title for the Fiddlebert's Racist Wonderland series
@@justsomewheel9379 In that game there were dark skinned bulborbs as the main antagonists.
I really hope you're not joking.
@@mrman2476that’s just orange bulborbs.
Is... Is that a slur
I remember playing Pikmin 6 in 2047. I'd always use the Luigi Pikmin against enemies and also played as the secret captain, Evil Olimar. Good times.
I get that Evil Olimar isn’t supposed to be a good person. But his remarks regarding the Balkans really have not aged well.
bro that was the good times man. now the new pikmin games have the boring stuff and weird stuff that are insanely op for some reason.

I always thought the invisible pikmin in pikmin 1 were pikmin who became LOST MEDIA
OH NO LOST MEDIA!!
I DON'T WANT TO BECOME LOST MEDIA😭😤
*AAAAAAAAAA*
My personal theory about candypop buds is that when a pikmin is left in the ground for too long they evolve into candypops
I thought this, but instead they become onions.
@@Wario-The-Legend i'd like to connect these two ideas in some way, maybe bring back a sort of subtle gender detail where male pikmin become onions and female pikmin become candypop buds
does that mean if you were to take a candypop bud out of the ground there would be a pikmin underneath
@@PhantomOfficial07biblically accurate pikmin let's go
@@davidthecommenter I wonder, what would make the onions male and the candypop buds female?
0:00 "one of the most famous things about Pikmin is the Pikmin"

there not actual parasites
@@Rice_enjoyer999yeah I don't think there are parasites over there either
How do you parasitize a rock?
@@pepperonipizza8200 they never implied that

15:46 I’m sorry this entire thing can be taken out of context, and this is the funniest thing
15:31 I think that this design is used in Pikmin bloom where you feed Pikmin different types of nectar and they get different flowers
Yeah i was wondering why they didn't mention that
Amazing video! I love Pikmin type talk! However you missed a few.

Great video, the white hooded pikmin was a crazy concept!
Adam and Maluigi.
Awesome video really enjoyed.
I wonder how different the Pikmin series would be today if they stuck with the old Tim Burton-esque art style.
This guy is literally the pikmim version of cyber shell
Clickbait. Expected iceberg Pikmin as seen in the thumbnail.
It pleases me greatly that this channel exists.
I like how you put awesome Sega Genesis music in your videos.
subscribed for RAW pikmin knowledge
It kind of killed me when you said that pikmin being based off of ants in miyamoto's garden was a marketing lie 😭
That group of very early pikmin before pikmin one are so interesting
you’re videos are really funny
Morshu and vaporeon replacing olimar and louie in the background lmfao what a awesome mod. Do you have a link for them? I wanna try it out
I'm gonna guess thats from the Colossal caverns mod. Its essentially a single floor challenge to grab every treasure in the game, Theres tons of customization options and even a secret game mode, the password revealed to you after you beat the game.
epic video reminds of Minecraft With Gadget Iceberg

this is a peak pikmin youtuber
i love the way you say baguette
Pikmin lore starting with Adam and Eve literally will never not be amazing
i hope they add fiddlebert back in the next game
This is what I live for.
I'm surprised you didn't actually put an entry for the debug Windows version of Pikmin 1
what is the music at delving deeper
My favourite Pikmin is the thiccmin
Gotta be one of my favourite gender
Thumbnail fits with the video's theme? Check.
Is the thumbnail creative? Check.
Related to my favorite video game series that deservers more love and this question is so long and oddly specific? Check.
fun fact: Pikmin 1 was originally the sequel to Mario 64
Finally the true pikman info
What is the music used at 7:09?
what do you think each pikmin smells like. please make a video going over each one
This would be interesting. Some might smell floral, or spicy, or earthy.
Would rock and ice even smell
So good
11:10 I actually didnt know this was a consept, which makes me feel less special for thinking of it before i knew. Although i think it would work better if it was more like a enemy that disguises itself as a candypop bud
What’s funny is that I knew everything from the top and the bottom but very little from the middle
this "iceberg" was a little too "reading the manual of the gmaes" for my taste
The depraved depths of the Pikmin iceberg
How can I laugh at this? There’s no LOST MEDIA *AAAUUUUGGGGH*
If you're wondering, the idea of purple pikmin being black was scrapped because of possible...racial implications...that may come from it. Nintendo likely remembered a similar scandal with the Pokemon Jynx and were like "nope".
Every copy of Pikmin 2 is personalized
Gensei_Control is actually meant for the bean pikmin, as their ability was *actually* to possess creatures
Was that page the only thing in the notebook? Because I haven't seen anything else ever mentioned about it.
It was the only Pikmin related thing, yes
Huh. Bummer.
the first ever pikmin design resembles a zoombini, very 90s!
1:09 the fact that it's the blue mouth pikmin of all things makes this even worse
Maybe Pikmin 5 will be time we get Orange Pikmin,nit really does look like they were considering it a lot
I know the Pikmin, as a non player, are funky lil guys. And the blue Pikmin must always be put in harms way for some reason?? What does Nintendo have against the blue guys???
You forgot about the very real Louie Apparition which can be summoned when you kill 1995.2 Bulbmin in Uranium Kitchen.
Can’t believe the ant story by Miyamoto was just for marketing
Why did bro just throw in mkultra 😭
Take a shot whenever he says Pikmin
15:46 that stab was personal
fire

Well. Glow Pikmin isn't a core type. It's a side type like bulbmin and puffmin
The people in Pikmin are not Human.
i like pikmen
me when pikmin 5
pikmin tree 🔥🔥🗣🗣🔥
Hm! Youre the first person Ive heard call the people in pikmin “human”.
Smash or pass of every captain? 🧐
Except the glow pikmin

hahaha lol!
Tim Burton? No way!
10:59 are we gonna just igore the brown and magenta pikmin on the right
I love the "Purple" Pikmin
wait… what about fiddlebert?
Got cancelled on Twitter
Fiddlebert is not a pikmin, thusly probably why he wasn't included
The best pikmin is clearly Steve
Bagwette
He he he ha
Hated the pikmin 3 style onion it reminds me of windows vista
