The Piklopedia but with Normal Pikmin

This is just a quick video showing off what happens when you replace the pikpik carrots with actual pikmin instead.

Some things of note:
Pikmin can be thrown in here just like normal, along with still acting random about it. They make no sounds at all, and in fact the game trying to play certain sounds with them crashes the game, so I had to disable those attempts in my code. There is still a limit of 100 pikmin here, and since the pikmin don't go away on their own, that limits you significantly. When an enemy is defeated in the piklopedia, it leaves no corpse.

0:40 Pikmin can't get buried in the piklopedia, instead they simply hit the ground like normal. The same happens with mamutas as shown later in the video.

1:00 Pikmin are able to be whistled by the Antenna Beetle fine, although its annoying to get it to actually happen.

1:26 Throwing pikmin into a candypop bud makes the game crash, likely because the game doesnt have the pikmin seeds loaded.

1:34 Honeywisp eggs attempting to make nectar drops causes a crash, but I got lucky here and was able to briefly show that if the egg drops mitites it works fine.

2:04 Pikmin attempting to pick up the pellet posies 1 pellet causes a crash. The log mentions the carry number display manager, but I suspect even besides that this would crash due to there being no onions present.

2:16 Finally we get to see an Empress rolling in the piklopedia!

3:49 The segmented Crawbster will never attack in the piklopedia, even when its being attacked itself.

4:40 The Raging Long Legs still drops mitites on death in the Piklopedia.

5:09 Theres nothing interesting about the games final boss, but perhaps if there were a way for it to have its weapons in here?

5:49 Some enemies, such as this one and the cannon beetles, are invincible during the piklopedia. This is most likely because they could hurt themselves with their own attacks in theory.

7:19 If you use purples instead of reds, you can defeat the Waterwraith itself within the Piklopedia! Although the limit of throwing 100 pikmin max makes it difficult...

Use this gecko code in order to mess with this yourself, but note it is for the USA Demo 1 version of Pikmin 2, so your best bet is to use it with Pikmin 251 or my 4 player hack. And be careful about the crashes that I showed in this. If you want to change what type of pikmin is thrown, change the value at the end of the first line: 0 = blue, 1 = red, 2 = yellow, 3 = purple, 4 = white, 5 = bulbmin, 6 = carrot

Anyway, thank you for watching this random video showing something I found interesting!

    I'm trying to make more videos on this channel about more minor things instead of exclusively major hack releases, so I hope you guys enjoy this kind of content as well! Thanks for all the support and growth this channel has been growing lately :)

    7:53 when there's no towel in the bathroom so you run naked through the cold house

    This was worth it just for the Empress rolling, that's breaking my reality over here.
  • @azeria1
    This video aged extremely well due to being able to fight practice fighting enemies in pikmin four
  • @Jimble
    The ultimate mystery of CAN YOU WAKE UP THE EMPRESS BULBLAX... 2:14 has been proven possible.
  • This just makes me realize how amazing having a Pikmin game in VR would be. Imagine you're normal sized looking down on a Pikmin battlefield commanding them to attack and collect. While also being able to pick them up and toss them at enemies and such Be insanely amazing!
  • @Ser_Matticus
    The game crashing with the candypop bud trying to make a pikmin sprout had me laughing.
  • @6754bettkitty
    It really sucks that the titan dweevil does not have its weapons in the piklopedia... That would have been entertaining here.
  • @Yuti640
    I remember trying for so long to get that empress to wake up This is literally like the end of an arc for me

    Honeywisp: (dies) Game: “I have decided that I no longer want to live” Never mind turns out they actually sniped a mitite
  • @iamnothale
    This is the idea I've been dreaming for as long as I can remember playing Pikmin 2. But what about the Treasure Hoard? I'm very interested in what happens if you can carry treasures there...
