    An interesting fact about the paint tube treasures, they actually reflect the 9 types of pikmin in the game. And the further back a type was introduced, the more of the tube of paint is used up. So the red paint (red pikmin) is almost empty, the green paint (glow pikmin) is completely full.

    5:05 It's worth noting that the specific game chosen and the location it is found in are a reference to the creature itself. The wave race disk comes from the waterwraith, which could be described as a racing wave of water. Also in the arena is Purple Paint, in reference to how Purple Pikmin are used to defeat the Waterwraith.

      Most of the paints are in the same cave you find each Pikmin type, or at least the earliest cave you can find each. The amount of paint in each tube actually correlates to how long each type has been known about, with reds, yellows, and blues having nearly empty tubes, and ice and glows having nearly full tubes, with ice having slightly less in reference to them being announced earlier than glows.

      The water wraith theme is in this game too, so maybe they just remember it from the Engulfed Castle (though I think they can sing it whether you've been there or not). Also... having them literally remember the song would imply that the music plays in canon, which I highly doubt.

    Yes, it's confirmed that pikmin 3 happens after pikmin 4. This is through dialouge through the Koppaites, and game dialouge. Dialouge says something about "the population going up on koppai, and if it continues there will be a food crisis". So it's basically confirmed in the game.

    • @TheUnknownsShow
      @TheUnknownsShow ปีที่แล้ว +31

      This has to be an alternate timeline, though, since the Koppaites independently discovered PNF-404 using their space drones at the beginning of Pikmin 3. If Pikmin 4 had happened earlier on the same timeline and there had already been Koppaites there, they would've already known PNF-404 to have exactly what they're after and they probably would've cultivated seeds from it before they were in danger of starving, which they say isn't an issue yet in Pikmin 4.

    Here are some other cool things I noticed:
    If you make yourself look like any of the Castaways, They'll make a comment about how you look like Twins, each with unique dialogue.
    On the topic of Castaways, Talking to them while playing as Oatchi also has unique dialogue (I believe Olimar talks about his dog Bulbie as well).
    Not only does the room you first fight the Emperor Bulblax ment to be a look like the room you first fight him in Pikmin 2, The Treasure you find there also references the treasure you'd find in the same spot (Being the Gyoroid).
    In Olimars Field Log, Not only does he mention his "Bad Dream" where he perishes and the Pikmin put him in the Onion, he also Mentions he had a dream that one of his Colleagues put them in debt by eating there Shipment, A reference to how Louie ate the Golden Pikpik Carrots in Pikmin 2 and started the whole story (In fact Louie says in his Log that he really wants to eat some Golden Pikpik carrots, and he's just waiting for the right job).
    Now I might be crazy, but I believe Emperor Bulblaxes actually take more damage from Purple Pikmin then any other enemy, which is most likely a reference to how the Emperor Bulblax was an absolute Joke in Pikmin 2 because of Purples.
    And last but not least, I heard that if you collect every Treasure, the final value will end in 128, most likely a reference to Mario 128, a showcase on the Game Cubes software that would eventually become Pikmin, but I cannot confirm if it's true.

    • @potatoe972

      @pepperonipizza8200 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      As for the Emperor Bulblax one, each enemy has a special value for how many Purple Pikmin stomps are needed to kill it. That’s how tankier enemies like the dweevils die in one hit from purples.
      So it may be possible that they coded the emperor to take far less stomps to kill then average for his health.

    A note worth mentioning is that "daitoryo" can also mean "big man" or "boss".

      No, daitōryō (大統領、だいとうりょう) only means a president as a political leader.
      It cannot be used for a head of party or a company, which is included in the meaning of English "president".
      A leader of a political party (政党) will be tōshu (党首、とうしゅ) and a leader of a company (会社) will be shachō (社長、しゃちょう) or kaichō (会長、かいちょう).
      Interestingly, the "President" of Taiwan is called Sōtō (総統、そうとう) using the same characters as the Chinese writing, and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (自由民主党) is called Sōsai (総裁、そうさい).
      Although there are exceptions like this, they are no examples calling other kinds of leaders as daitoryo.

      but he only ran one department of a larger company
      it seems like there's some debate as to when the term should be used in politics
      since it's prescribed to the head of the North Korean government, but his official title is "supreme leader"
      China and Cuba's leaders also get that treatment despite the official titles of "chairman" and "secretary" respectively being ceremonial in what's supposed to be a "leaderless system"
      it's still possible that the Hanafuda thing was a mistake
      one theory says that Yamauchi, who founded Nintendo, mistook the image for Washington

      In the case of political leaders, it is often the case that there is a mismatch between English, Japanese, and the local language.

    I was once working on a Pikmin 2 fan game (Which I've since abandoned),and I only put 1 song in the game: Awakening Woods
    I've listened to that song for hours on end, to the point it's engrained in my memory, and I'll randomly hum it at times, and did it quite a bit while playing 4
    So the first time my Pikmin began singing it, I was already humming it, and it seemed as if the Pikmin read my mind.

    Your timeline placement makes sense. It would help explain why Olimar seemingly had no memory of how Louie betrayed him in the last 3 games.
    Also, did you notice Olimar’s journal entry, can’t remember which number off the top of my head but it says “I had a bad dream in which the Hocotate Freight Company went bankrupt due to one employee” referencing the later events in the Pikmin series. The drawing in the journal even has emphasis on Louie being the cause.

    • @Alexgodofwar5662
      @Alexgodofwar5662 ปีที่แล้ว

      The log makes it pretty clear that Olimar is referring to the idea that Louie ate the golden pikpik carrots being preposterous, because he has no idea that it actually happened. Not the concept of debt. When he says "this is why I never take on debt", he doesn't say "I've never taken on debt ever". It's pretty clear he means "willingly", because every time he takes on company debt, he does it because he was commanded to, and not because he wants to. Plus, *he's recounting a dream*, of course the details are going to be vague.
