Unused Text

This is a sub-page of Pikmin 2.

To do:

  • Find out and document what text is and isn't included in the other languages.
  • Some text, like the Controls screen, is only present in JP, probably more text too.
  • Move the Early English Script page to be a sub-page of this one.
  • Probably more interesting .blo placeholder text that is only in Japanese and would need to be properly translated.
  • We could be documenting every comment in every file. That might be excessive, but there is some interesting stuff, particularly in StreamList.txt.

Text from Pikmin2.bmg#

Located within the English messages file message\mesRes_eng\pikmin2.bmg is a handful of unused messages. Some, but not most of this text survived into other translations, and even less survived into the Wii and Switch ports.

Removed Text#

The position of these messages show they were originally meant for cutscenes, but were removed without being left unused.

Filler Log Entries#

This text is stored with the Piklopedia and Treasure Log template text.

Piklopedia#

Stretches its neck to look for
prey. When it finds Pikmin, it
gobbles them up instead of
chasing them.

Treasure Hoard#

A hard, shiny rock.
Highly valuable.
Makes an excellent gift.

Test Messages#

Test Message 9995

Test Message 9996

AquickbrownFoxJumpsoverthelazy

Under Construction (ID9999)

Also included with these is a message that consists only of hexadecimal op-codes to test the various button icons. Conveniently, it makes for a good way to show the two unused button icons, being the control stick and the start button. The control stick appears in the unused text for the camera tutorial, but the start button is unused entirely (at least for the GC version), as the game only ever refers to it as START/PAUSE written out in regular text.

Treasure Collection Screen#

These messages were seen in early versions of the game on the treasure collection screen. In early versions, the c-stick could be used to zoom in on the treasure, but this was scrapped.

It's been added to your Treasure Log!

You can't log this treasure until you
reach the surface.

Suit Damage#

This message hints that at one point, Olimar was meant to be alone, as the day would end immediately should a single leader lose all his health.

Your space suit has sustained damage!
Excessive damage to the suit could be life-threatening.
If you sustain too much damage, I'm afraid to say the day's operations will end immediately.
I have no suit-repair facilities, so you must repair your suit yourself at the end of each day.
Your space suit power meter is the round gauge on the bottom-left.
Pay close attention to it.

Onion Cutscenes#

Text for the unused Onion cutscenes.

The yellow Onion has awakened! You should pluck the seeds it released as soon as they sprout!

The blue Onion has awakened! Pluck the seeds it released as soon as they sprout!

Camera Cutscene#

Text for the camera cutscene.

What are your thoughts, Captain Olimar?
Has this planet changed since your first visit?
I am certain discoveries you missed before await detection by your more-experienced eyes.
I would suggest you appraise your surroundings carefully.
For safety's sake, I shall review camera controls with you.
First, to face forward, press L.
To rotate the camera, slightly depress L and move the camera with Analog Stick.
Next, if you want to zoom the camera, press R.
Press R repeatedly to scroll through the three levels of zoom.
Finally, to adjust camera angles, press Z, which is above R.
Press Z repeatedly to switch between the two different angles.
That is my entire explanation. Olimar, you look bored. Louie... You look confused.
If you fail to learn these basic skills, you will never survive in the cutthroat corporate world.

Attract Demos#

This text mostly matches what is shown in the first 3 attract demos, but that text is entirely baked into the video file itself, and never referenced from the text database.

This text matches the description used for the game's banner. But the actually used version of that message is stored in the .bnr file itself, as is the case with all GameCube games.

Controls Screen#

An unused fourth page for the pause screen, which would have been a display for the controls, has text that exists only in the Japanese release, as all others blanked it out.

File Select#

The first of these is grouped in with the rest of the text for the File Select menu. It probably was meant for showing what sub-level of a cave you are on, but that uses text saying SUB-LEVEL instead. The X and Y text was used in the Japanese version, for the copy and delete button prompts. Other versions of the game use actual button icons instead, leaving the text unused.

Text used for the scrapped Return to Last Save menu. Note that it only exists in Japanese and English, and was blanked out for the PAL exclusive languages.

In-Game UI#

This text is seen in the main game UI when it is almost the end of the day. However, the text seen there is a texture file, and this plain text version is never used.

It is almost sundown.
Hurry up!!

Hurry! Gather your Pikmin!

Disc Errors#

This text is seen when the Disc is removed, or can't be read. However, the used version of that text is all hard-coded in the .dol, so that the errors can still show up even if the text database isn't loaded or is broken. Compared to the used text, the only difference with these is PIKMIN 2 not being in all caps.

Dutch Localization#

The European version of the game has 5 languages: English, Italian, French, Spanish, and German. There is also an empty subfolder in /new_screen named hol, likely a remnant of a Dutch translation. There is also a file in /message named msgRes_hol.szs which only has the progressive scan and 50/60Hz mode screens translated. It also had the "AquickbrownFoxJumpsoverthelazy" test string from the English version.

An official Dutch translation of the game would be introduced in V1.1.0 of the Nintendo Switch port.

Unused Text Colors#

Also included in mesRes_eng.szs is a file called pikmin2.bmc. This file contains color modifiers used for the game's text. Out of all of these, only three alternate ones are ever used in the English release.

ID

Usage

0x00

The default text color used for the vast majority of the text in the game.

0x01

An alternate red color that is almost always what is used when emphasizing a word or phrase.

0x02

Completely unused.

0x03

This and a couple others are included in the op-codes for the button icon test message as shown above, where they don't appear to change anything.

0x04

Completely unused.

0x05

Used exclusively in the game's first day 1 cutscene to refer to Louie.

0x06

Completely unused.

0x07

Unused in English, but oddly does get used for one Japanese exclusive e-Reader description.

0x08

Completely unused.

0x09

Same situation as color 0x07.

0x0A

Completely unused.

0x0B

Completely unused.

0x0C

Completely unused.

0x0D

Used for the final E-mail received from Olimar's wife and nowhere else.

0x0E

Completely unused.

0x0F

Used as the default for a couple random cutscene text boxes.

0x10

From this point on, all colors are read as pure white (255, 255, 255, 255).

Screen Layout Placeholder Text#

For every screen layout (.blo) file, all text box objects include some placeholder text that is never used by the game for anything. Most are simply identical to the actual text, unfortunately no random song lyrics to be found here. Only about half of the English layout files are properly translated, a significant portion of the text is still in Japanese for all releases. Regardless, a handful of these text boxes have something noteworthy enough to be worth documenting. Note that these are shown as they are in the English folder of the USA release, the Japanese release has less of these translated, and probably has some interesting facts of its own.

File name

Text

Comment

mg_window.blo

なんとこれは新種のピクミンです!
まったくデータがありませんので
注意深く観察することにしましょう。

The main cutscene dialogue box. Roughly translates to some generic cutscene text describing a new non-specific Pikmin type.

file_select_dw_data.blo

White Flower Garden

The random cave chosen to represent the save file's current cave.

file_select_dw_data.blo

Underground

Applied to an entirely offscreen text box, this appears to have once been used to show when a file is in a cave, but no "Underground" text exists in the final .bmg data.

anim_text.blo

 隊列のピクミン達と
 この穴に入りますか?

A generic .blo used in dozens of menus, but its placeholder text appears to be from choosing to enter a cave hole.

memory_card.blo

PIKMIN2 MEMORY CARD CHECK

The final text in the background of this menu added a space between PIKMIN and 2.

option.blo

Progressive mode
offers the best
graphical presentation.

Text from the options menu that doesn't exist in the actual text database at all. It seems to have been meant to be shown with the De-flicker option.

challenge_modo_result.blo

Secret Testing Rang

The cave name used in the challenge mode results screen. Clearly Secret Testing Range with a typo.

challenge_rule_window.blo

Prepare for an expedition of thrills!
White flowers appear by areas you clear.
Red flowers appear when you escape.

Description of the rules of Challenge mode. These rules differ drastically from the final text, in that they don't make sense and seems like a poor translation of the Japanese text. What the difference in clearing an area is versus escaping it is anyone's guess.

challengemodo_select.blo

Welcome to Challenge Mode! Find
the [FF:00:濶イ:1]key[FF:00:濶イ:0] on each level and take it
to the research pod.[2:00:btnWait]
Try to reach the [FF:00:濶イ:1]geyser[FF:00:濶イ:0] on the
final level within the time limit.
[2:00:btnWait]
[FF:00:濶イ:1]Points[FF:00:濶イ:0] are calculated based on
[FF:00:濶イ:1]the treasures you collect[FF:00:濶イ:0] and[FF:00:濶イ:1]
the time you have remaining[FF:00:濶イ:0].[2:00:btnWait]
Try to earn as many points as
you can to earn fortune and
glory as a treasure hunter.[2:00:btnWait]

This is the description used by the ship when playing Challenge mode for the first time. It just happens to be the first message in the .bmg file, which led to it showing up as placeholder text in a handful of random menus. The last paragraph here is different from the final cutscene text, as the ship is a lot less enthusiastic about your potential fortune and glory. This also makes for a great showcase of how the special text op-codes worked in the developer's tool-kit, compared to the pure hexadecimal values that got compiled into the actual .bmg file.

vs_title_rule_window.blo

A Word of Advice:
You can't pluck, throw or spray
when in contact with enemy Pikmin

A placeholder for the tips in the 2-Player battle loading screen. It got rewritten for the final version to

An advisory:
You can't pluck, throw, or spray
while engaging enemy Pikmin.

hi_score_main.blo

[FF:01:繧オ繧、繧コ:85]Remaining Treasure:
[FF:01:繧オ繧、繧コ:85]Remaining Debt:

These two text boxes use "Grand Total" and "Treasures" in the final screen. These descriptions don't really make sense with the final menu, so the menu may have been reworked at some point.

new_otakarazukan_main.blo

古代看板古代看板
古代看板古代看板

The active treasure name for the Treasure Hoard. It appears to be duplicated 4 times, likely as a test for how much text can fit in the text box dimensions.

item_name.blo

ITEM NAME

The placeholder treasure name for the treasure collection screen. For once, actual placeholder text is used instead of a random treasure name.

s_menu_pause_doukutu_l.blo

Abandon your treasure
and Pikmin and escape?

The mechanic of giving up in a cave appears to have quite a complex history. In the final game, giving up won't lose any Pikmin, unlike here, where you would apparently lose all Pikmin brought with you. But what's especially odd is that in the Early English Script from the Japanese version, it was said that you would lose exactly half of your collected treasures, an entirely different effect than either this or what actually happens in the final game.

vs_main_rule_window.blo

Get the cherry to spin the roulette!

Got reworded in the final game to

Get a cherry, spin the roulette!

vs_main_rule_window.blo

Make a Swooping
Snitchbug appear at your 
opponent's position

Got reworded in the final game to

Swooping Snitchbug drops on opponent.

vs_select_list.blo

s

Placeholder for the 2-Player battle level names. It appears for a similar purpose in some other screens as well. This single letter probably wouldn't be too noteworthy, but the fact Super Mario Sunshine also uses a single lowercase s as placeholder text in a few screens certainly makes this more interesting.

world_map_info.blo

Dream Den

Dream Den being the placeholder cave name in the world map menu actually lines up with what is seen in the mockup image.

Development Text#

Beyond just the actual text database, a lot of other text is left in the game's files and code.

Panic Handlers#

Pikmin 2 uses a LOT of panic handlers in its code, and they all have a message to go with them. Most just use "P2Assert", but some have unique messages. The following is just a handful of the more interesting ones (The address is for the USA release of the game):

  • 0x8047c73c: damedayo! (Don't do that!)
  • 0x8047f41c: Oh! no!
  • 0x804826c4: MOC = Mouse on Cars!
  • 0x80499c80: go to hell!
  • 0x8047f0e8: zannen !
  • 0x8047cb90: KESHIMASU!
  • 0x8047cbe0: DON'T USE THIS !
  • 0x8048183c: No Friend Found for seesaw: searching for same id
  • 0x8049855c: fail to open Kantei!
  • 0x80498574: call to OG san

Developer File Paths#

All across the game's file-system, full paths of files from the developers computers were left in. They can give some interesting insight to how this game was made.

This first list is taken from as many animation manager config files as possible. EVERY animation has its full path listed, although they are generally identical for a specific config minus the animation name itself, so only unique ones are included.

This list comes from the bitter spray stone info configs for any enemy that can be bitter sprayed. These also contain a rather large number of different developer paths. maya_data heavily implies the 3D modelling program Autodesk Maya was used to make the models and animations for this game, which lines up with other known development resources. A few of these enemies are in a folder named hayashi, which likely represents Michiho Hayashi, who is credited as a creature designer. A few paths also are placed directly in the developer's root folder, which was most likely a bug with their script.

Music Conversion Notes#

'...But what does it mean?'
This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!
Notes: Would be nice for understanding what is being said better.

Present at the start of every trackmap file (a file that tells the game how to distinguish tracks for different musical variations). It generally explains how the lost Pikmin masking system works.

################################################################################
#
# "pikmin数演出トラック定義"
#      テーブルはトラックの並びです。
#      ピクミン数が少ないときに間引き処理を入れるトラックを"1"としてください。

# "マスクするnote on ID"
#      テーブルはnote on IDの並びです。
#      ピクミン数が少ないときに間引きするnote on IDを"1"としてください。

Present at the end of user\Totaka\BgmList_BgmTest.txt is a rather elaborate explanation of how to add new cave themes to the game.

# BGMを追加する時
#
# 曲名定義
# new_XX_Y.cnd
# new_XX.bms
# XXには曲Noを0から順につけてください
# Yを0から順にナンバリングすることで、
# 同一シーケンス、同一波形セットを使ったバリエーション曲を用意してください。
# 波形セットはNEWCAVE_XXが適用されます。
#
# データを用意したら、
# BgmList_BgmTest.txtの”洞窟6”に加え、
# BgmT/caveIncludes.defにコンダクターを、
# BgmT/Makefileにシーケンスを加えてください。
# また、本編のBGMリストに追加すればゲーム上で確認できます。
# 
# !!!! リスト追加時の注意 !!!!
# ファイル名に大文字を使わないでください。止まります。

Archive Conversion Log#

The file user\Abe\Pellet\pal\log in the USA version is a leftover log file that gives insight to the tool the developers used to compile the game's .szs archive files.
