Pikmin 2 Title Screen Quirks 

"If we all had a little tsp08 in our hearts and minds, the world would be a better place." --Scruffy

you are like the pikmin jesus

This was such a smart video

What the hell are these PK commands, I can't play Earthbound like this

Gotta admit, I’m a huge fan of the game “Mi” by the company Ter.

Remember kids, keep your tsp8 high.

12:38 "See, if we all had a little more tsp8 in our hearts and minds, the world would be a better place." -Scruffy 2016

I realized that swarming sheargrubs in pikmin 3 also follow this boid principle. They almost always consider the actions of their neighbors, try to stay together in a group, respond collectively when attacked, and form larger groups when they meet or reunite with other swarming sheargrubs.

What a well-edited, informative, strangely specific yet interesting video!

That wobbly "Woea!" got me. Like the first time I saw the Waterwraith cosplaying as Flubber. (A.K.A Waterwraith's second form,)

Extra pikmin makes sense to make the logos generate somewhat quickly, I can imagine how long it would take for that last pikmin to find a place and get in it if there was only exactly enough of them to make the logo

That's really cool, but what I want to know is if it's possible to change the set of coordinates that the Pikmin use for the different logos, essentially allowing you to draw whatever you want on the title screen using the Pikmin.

This is the sort of video I love. Going super in depth on tiny, almost insignificant, details in games, and not just talking about what happens, but showing WHY those things happen. It shows just how much love and care goes into game designing.

it's amazing how much work as gone into the title screen that most people just ignore every time they start the game, it really shows the amazing work the devs have done

11:29 that one steve (though it’s a flower) didn’t get the memo

I really like interactive and quirky title screens like this.

pk03, from what I can tell, seems to be how close the pikmin can be in a group before they are forced to disperse.

Imagine if it worked like a sports game and you could individually control each pikmin one at a time while cycling through. Love you Scruffy.

One reason Pikmin 2 far outclasses 3. It feels like it just has so much more...soul put into it. It's so extensive and fun and has so much attention to detail.

8:32 I want that emergence cave music

Being perfectly on time, the PK12 value dictates how much being far from a target point should increase movement speed

13:13 is probably my favourite. The way it seems so chaotic yet perfectly builds the logo from right to left is very satisfying. Really cool video

This is such a cute, entertaining, and informative video--it kinda feels like that experiment where spiders are given different drugs to see what their webs end up like lol

This is probably the third or fourth time I'm rewatching this video. Man these videos are great.

Imagine setting TP15, 16 and 17 at 0.1 (or 0) each and watching the purples and white run as fast as they can to leave the studio

A pikmin is a pikmin, you can't say it's only half.

I take this as, not him looking through the code of the game, but him poking and prodding at little Pikmin “brains” and seeing what happens when you change certain areas of their “brain”.

I'd guess that pk04 "taste" controls how many pikmin (maximum) can be eaten by each bite the Bulborb takes, since it defaults to 5 and that is the normal number that can be eaten, or the location relative to the bulborb that get eaten. since neither of those seem to be covered by any other variable. Distance proportional speed factor is probably some distance that the pikmin need to achieve to just snap into the correct coordinates since floating points will rarely exactly equal the location they need to get to, and they don't want the pikmin just running in circles. It's probably also effected by their speed.

This was an awesome watch, thanks for taking the time to do it! I love the Pikmin series dearly, so little things (or in reality, BIG things) like this further makes my love grow for them!

why am I watching this? WHY AM I ENJOYING IT.

I ain’t no stinking boid

Awesome work, that's very cool to watch ! Gotta appreciate the love and care nintendo put into this, and yours as well explaining it to us !

You need so many more subscribers. These Pikmin videos are awesome, keep up the incredible work!

So cool. I love hearing you talk about taking apart these programs. It's like listening to my brother do what I myself would do if I had his degree.

Some of the ways the logo could have been made are so cool I kinda wish they could cycle through them in the actual game!

That's really interesting! I wonder why they put in all that effort... Did a couple programmers have nothing to do while other parts of the game were being finished?

For the Nintendo logo you can press the - button on the left joy con, for the bulborb press the right stick and press the left and right buttons to steer the bulborb, press the up button to move foward and press ZL to eat pikmin, and the for flint beetle press the left stick and press the left and right buttons to steer and press up to move foward. Those are the controls for them on the Nintendo switch

Fascinating. I had a lot of fun pkaying with the title screen and there is so much more to it

Scruffy, I love your analysis videos. So much effort, and unique and good info.

I like this... very analytical I can tell alot of time was put into this, even your video I saw the little embedded details in your editing.

That’s such a cool way to test features for actual game play?? It’s a mini showcase! One that, even with out most realizing it, gets you acclimated to seeing the pikmin move! I remember when my Dad would get me to set up when he would play; I’d mess with the title screen till he was ready! I love how in-depth you went too! Explaining each file in an easy to understand way, and with excellent demonstration! I love your videos Scruffy!

Omg I’ve waited for that press start to appear soo many times, I knew right away

Thanks for this. I've tried programming pikmin crowds and this video was really insightful.

you have no idea how much I appreciate those kind of videos ...

Okay wow, Boids are fascinating and I must know more about how to use them

0:31 F for the dead pikmin also look left

I greatly enjoyed this. Nice work!

I feel like the tsp8 should be left at 300 all the time, cause it creates a mesmerizing effect when the logos form.

Extremely Informative and interesting. I would love more videos like this!

that last edit you did was SO cool imagine that in the real game!

Man, it's crazy how many variables were used for this!

Very cool. You should do more game analysis like this. I always used to love screwing around with files in Rome: Total War when I was younger.

That was surprisingly fun to watch :)

Does no one else realize that there are only allowed to be 100 Pikmin on the surface, but this title screen clearly has more?

awesome video! thanks a lot for making this

I love all the different ways the pikmin make the logo, slowly forming it or just fhdbdbbfbfhnf and then “PIKMIN” it’s great

6:02 Half size Pikmin are genius you made new logo

7:22 when your going up on what seems like a mountain on a roller coaster

Now, I like Pikmin 2 even more!

Great video, you covered some interesting stuff.

This was incredibly interesting. Pikmin is so cool!

I really like this type of video! :)

I have learned so much today

The Wistful Wild theme sounds so beautiful please upload it as a video!

Tsp9 looks so cool!

I'm sad that, because we have a new, simpler logo, this won't ever be done again 😔

I think the extra pikmin are for the ones who get eaten.

This is amazing. My goodness.

this was really cool

when your a good youtuber with only 400 subs :(

Such a long file path for a neat title screen.

I would love to see pikmin controlling mini-pikmin when the 5th game drops

I think “convergence distance” controls how far away Pikmin convene to form a new logo

If I made the logo I would have gave it more tsp9. I liked that group build of the logo from right to left at the end there.

That's so crazy. I'd love the NX to have themes like this but that's way too much work haha.

7:22 made me laugh more than it should have

My parents: *You should watch educational videos and make a living* Me: *Watching this*

Damn, if only you had more videos... You need way more subscribers

This vid was amazing

I love pikmin 2.

even more pikmin. EVEN MORE.

Lol even their title screen is better than any full game I can make.

Skruffy: {pk07}{pk08}{pk10} and {pk09} are *just* animations *sound of intense earthquake and fear*

I'm just going to make a random assumption here about PK12 and PK03 So with PK12 i'd assume that if all pikmin walked at the exact same speed they would't make it back to the title on time in sync, so depending on their distance they'll either go slower or faster, I don't know, And with PK03, based on the fact its called convergence, I guess its supposed to be the amount of distance they travel before stopping or something, cause Convergence in math involves a number that goes to a defined number (or something similar, I can't remember) But I have no idea what i'm talking about so nobody quote me on this please EDIT : I'm going to look more into PK04/Tsurukogane, which After a google translation I found out its two separate words, so then I went to a translation sight, and Tsuru means to Catch/Lure In/Attract/Entice ETC. , and Kogane translates to either gold or small sum of money, so maybe it has something to do with the iridescent flint beetle.

That's a lot of effort for a titke screen. This is why I like Pikmin 2

I just love :Mi by Ter

Ngl now I wish I was able to play with these parameters

[What I love!]

*pikmin’s pikmin*

What the shit did I watch and why was it just amazing?

How to control the enemy? i want it to stay in the title screen as long as it can

Just smart I never knew most of this!

Hey you're getting recommend again!

Are you sure pk02 isn't for pikmin speed? They wouldn't move that fast to disperse no matter the distance, and the logo was formed before it appeared so they might have moved super fast.

What was the name of the wistful wild orchestration it was dope

Very interesting!

for a 5 year old video this is pretty good

they literally imported a whole computer system into the files 💀

How are you able to control the bulborb and the beetle on the Wii remote?

My brain is starting to hurt.
