Changes[]

Pikmin 1[]

On top of the changes common to both this game and Pikmin 2 from the New Play Control! versions, the following additional changes exist.

Gameplay[]

Graphics[]

  • The standby Pikmin icons have been updated.
  • The render of Olimar standing used on his health wheel, the saved game selection menu, and Olimar's voyage log has been updated.

Text[]

  • The copyright on the title screen has been changed to "© Nintendo".

Audio[]

  • A few sounds play differently, like the Onion ejecting seeds.
  • Some musical instruments are slightly off-key.
  • Since the attract mode cutscenes have been removed, Japanese players can also no longer hear Ai no Uta.

Other[]

  • The logo on the game's box art has been updated to resemble the modern Pikmin series logo, along with it now being known as Pikmin 1.
  • The Creature Montage received several changes:
    • All of the gameplay has been re-recorded, now being more accurate to the game's actual gameplay.
    • A different font is used, and all of the text is center-aligned.
    • The text fades in, rather than getting "written" in like the original.
    • A different font is used, and all of the text is center-aligned.
    • The Swooping Snitchbug is placed correctly in the reel's alphabetical order.
    • In the US version, Wolpoles, Wollyhops, and Yellow Wollyhops are referred to using their European name, as used here, due to the previous name's vulgarity.
    • Instead of a dark filter closing in around a creature to highlight it, a smear effect is instantly placed.
  • When Olimar takes damage, the screen shakes and turns red briefly.

Pikmin 2[]

In general, the game has no regional differences unlike the previous releases, and is instead based on the US version. This port is also built off of the US version of New Play Control! Pikmin 2, meaning that unless stated otherwise, all changes from that version also apply to this game. On top of those and the changes common to both this game and Pikmin 1, the following additional changes exist.

Gameplay[]

  • Cutscenes (excluding the end of day scenes and the cinematics) can no longer be skipped.
  • By default, stages in 2-Player Battle generate using the unbalanced random generation mode instead of picking from the preset layouts available.
  • The Man-at-Legs is no longer invincible while getting up.

Graphics[]

  • The white space inside the President's hair curl in the Debt Repayment Cinema has been removed.
  • Much of the product placement in the original game has been removed and replaced with fictional/other brands, likely due to Nintendo losing the legal rights to use the branding seen on the treasures. This includes treasures in the Mystical Energy Series, Massive Receptacle Series, Survival Series, Ancient Ad Series, and Odd Logo Series.
  • The text for cave loading screens is much more opaque, and cream-colored.
  • All instances of the word "Louie" that were colored blue have been recolored to a light yellow, matching the color of Louie's icon background in Pikmin 3.
  • Many Piklopedia icons have been replaced with artwork instead of in-game renders.
  • The backgrounds on Louie and The President's health icons now match their head shapes rather than re-using Olimar's background.
  • The text on the Challenge Mode loading screen is a little whiter and more opaque. The sublevel number has a greenish-yellow shadow.

Text[]

  • Various pieces of text have been changed. (e.g.: cutscene text, mail, Olimar's notes, etc.)
    • Mail overall has been changed to be more polite, one example being removing the mention of Bulbie not getting fed.
    • Spam mail has been changed to remove links to promotional sites.
  • Various treasures and series were renamed, along with some of their descriptions.
    • The Husband's Tears Series was renamed to the Expensive Sentiments Series, and its corresponding completion announcement was completely rewritten.
    • The Space Love Series was renamed to the Celestial Vibes Series, and its corresponding completion announcement was completely rewritten.
    • The Gemstar Wife was renamed to the Red Gemstar.
    • The Gemstar Husband was renamed to the Green Gemstar.
    • The Gherkin Gate was renamed to the Flavor Gate.
    • Part of Olimar's notes on the Love Nugget were rewritten.
  • Various enemies were renamed, or received other changes.

Audio[]

  • The Pikmin singing Ai no Uta Easter egg has been removed. Since the attract mode cutscenes have been removed, Japanese players can also no longer hear Tane no Uta. Licensing complications may be part of the reason for these removals.
  • Concrete 1 and Flooded Stump have some instruments missing.
