PIKMIN BITS - Notch's First Expedition 

And now for something I recently made!
So uhhh, you know. Regular bit. Nothing else really happened. Just… Pikmin VS. some enemies.
We see a few follow-ups on this one, Notch beating his record from “Notch’s Swimming Lesson”, and if you frame-by-frame the shot where Notch pulls Drip with him to check out the commotion, you’ll see Drip’s fried feet from “The Candypop Conversion”.
This is also the continuation of the boil line style from “The Bulbear Gets Bul-BOMBED”. And backgrounds have become MORE integrated with the animation.
We see the Bulbmin again, a species not seen since “When a Bulbmin Grows Up”. Hit with the feeling of seeing one again after the last one's passing, Notch doesn't want to have to lose this one.
And uhh... that's all.
Watch the video, now.
...How long can I keep up the charade-- look... it's October, the SPOOKY month, I HAD to do a Submerged/Engulfed Castle Bit. You could say this one, ahem... ENGULFED the month. It was initially scheduled for October 12th. I wasn't satisfied with where I was in the Bit, and it would not have had much of a "complete" feeling. I delayed it to the 26th, for a better buffer.
Pikmin 4 brought back the Waterwraith and the Submerged Castle, calling it the Engulfed Castle. And it had this musical mechanic where the theme we all know starts playing louder when it gets closer to spawning. I wanted to do a Waterwraith bit since the start, and I actually had that same idea. I also had the idea to NOT SHOW THE DARN THING IN THE PREVIEW IMAGE. WHAT AN IDEA, PIKMIN 4!!
Originally, Captain KARO was meant to be in this Bit, and it would have ended with her eloping with the Waterwraith-- then years later, she'd be in Olimar's position in Pikmin 3. Being in the care(?) of the Plasm Wraith. Like an old married couple. But when Pikmin 4 introduced Wild Pikmin in caves, it felt like a fantastic idea to have Pikmin be faced with the Waterwraith without a captain in sight.
I didn't mean for this to become a two-parter, but I wanted to do a lot with the Waterwraith, and I knew I'd never fit all of that into one part. But you'll get to see it all real soon. Reeeal soon...
...That being said, PIKMIN BITS is on a HIATUS until further notice! I've got projects that have come up that demand my attention. I'll still be doing really short animations in between. I'm sure this is a fine note to hold on.
