Hm...

A little context: In Pikmin 4, there's an easter egg where when riding Oatchi with pikmin for an extended amount of time, the pikmin will start singing. There are six different songs they can sing, but until now only 5 have been identified as themes from the series. The 6th was unknown. However, just recently Nintendo published a trailer where the pikmin sing an extended version of the unknown song.

So now that we know the extended song, I wonder if anyone can now identify the source of the song, or if it was written specifically for this commercial, similar to how "Ai no Uta," another song produced to promote Pikmin, is also sung by the pikmin as an easter egg in Pikmin 2.

Big ole' relationship headcanons chart B) For these I just went with what would give me the best story telling options (or what Just sounded outright entertaining) while occasionally taking cues from canon.

A few corrections:

Arrows with two points are supposed to mean the relationship is mutual, while arrows wirh just one point means it's one-sided. Mentor/Mentee relationships are a weird exception where the arrow is meant to always go from the mentor to the mentee... I only did this right for Puddle and Vonda being mentors for Santi lol. Thankfuly the other mentor/mentee relationships involve the students so it should be easy enough to tell what I mean.

On a similar note; Pitunia and Dalmo's friendship is meant to be mutual

Alph would be friends with Collin and perhaps Russ, but the chart was getting cluttered and I couldn't fit the arrows.

Similar goes to Brittany; she'd probably get along with Yonny, Kingsly, and François.

And again, Boris should be friends with Frise but I ran out of room LMAO

I know this is a little tricky to read and also has some intresting headcanons, so if you have any questions feel free to ask! :3

Below will be some additional notes about the chart lol

Vonda and Puddle have kinda just declared themselves as Santi's mentor. Specifically when it comes to romance and gender shenanigans.

Wolfgang has all of the industry connections minus( Russ)

idk if Komo would like Russ either now that I think about it

Frise, Boris, and Lapi are all friends. Frise is also friends with Vonda. Frise keeps trying to get the other two to meet Vonda but they're intimidated bc she's famous.

Idk when exactly on the time line this takes place, but eventually Bernard and Santi get that situationship sorted out. Russ gets over Muggs and gives a relationship with Molly a shot, much to her delight.

Maybe Kayz will be with Chowder, maybe not. Haven't decided the outcome there. Honestly leaning towards them staying friends.

Pitinia just finds Bernise annoying lmao.

When I say "your guess is as good as mine" I really do mean it LMAO. I feel it means something slightly different for every relationship I used it for.

anyone here who was a leafling is part of a support group. They don't all consider each other friends but they do trust each other a lot.

The three students inherently trust the other people in Mika's friend group and will go to them for advice and such.

Olimar is friends with the entire Rescue Corps (one of his arrows is meant to be pointing at the friend group as a whole) but is particularly close with Bernard.

Santi and Chewy are part of the same friend group, but again are a bit closer to eachother than the other members

The entire Research Task Force considers eachother friends. Once again tbough, Komo and Twyla are particularly close. Pitunia and Sy are particularly close. And Kit and Osa are particularly close.

Most of these relationships were forged during the events of Pikmin 4.

Pikmin 4 Planet Generalizations

I added this to the big Pikmin 4 Character Trivia post, but I know most people aren't going to be checking for updates on that (btw, there's been a few, so check that out if you're interested).

These are observations I've made about similarities between castaways from the same planet. Since Pikmin has made a habit of saying that certain traits are inherent to specific races/planets, such as the Koppaites' inability to plan and being picky eaters and the Hocotatians' preference for vegetables and seeking treasure, it may be safe to say that similarities found between castaways from the same planet might be reflective of their respective races.

However, this is all speculative on my part. Do not take any of the following as fact.

I also haven't included any castaways/planets where there was only 1 castaway to get info from since unless they explicitly said so, there's no way to determine what traits are theirs and what could be attributed to their race/culture. Info like that would be a part of the main trivia post.

Sozor (Dalmo, Grace, Horatio)

Have anti-social personalities. Dalmo prefers creatures to people, Grace seems disinterested in society as a whole, and Horatio is inept at social interactions (compared to other castaways).

Flukuey (Jin, Molly, Dash, Patch)

Have unstable professions and/or are adventure seekers. Jin is an explorer, Molly is a streamer of limited success, Dash is a spelunker from a well off-family, and Patch is unemployed but purposefully puts himself in dangerous situations for the thrill.

Ooji (Francois, Kingsly)

Love flowers/plant life. Francois studies plant-life, and Kingsly is a florist. Given that Ooji is also said to have "lush jungles," flora may be very important to everyday life on the planet.

Koodgio (Lapi, Boris)

Artistic types. Lapi is a painter and Boris is an author.

Siguray (Shnauz, Kit, Osa)

Interested in the qualities and history of materials and items. Shnauz appraises treasure, Kit is interested in minerals, and Osa is interested in archeology.

The following are castaways where it's difficult to determine if their similar traits would be found in their race due to other factors:

Ogura (Sy, Pitunia)

Both are interested in studying the onion and their environmental factors surrounding it, but both are also a part of the Research Task Force, a group made of individuals that are interested in studying the planet in general, so it's hard to say if this would be something inherent to all Ogurains, or if they just happen to have a mutual interest in this area of study.

Enohee (Ren, Frise, Muggs, Wolfgang)

3 of the 4 are a part of the same TV crew, so would have common interests by default. Arguably all 4 are interested in entertainment as Ren was on a cooking show, so TV might be a very important industry to Enohee.

Neechki (Kaia, Sheeba, Keesh, Mika, Chewy)

4 of the 5 are in the same club and would have similar interests by default (and even then, Mika admits that she knows very little about planetary science), and Chewy has little in common with the rest of them. However, Chewy notes that Sheeba also resembles her boss, so it's possible that the "small" body type is very common (but not exclusive) to Neechikians.

Nijo (Santi, Bernard)

Both became pilots and were prone to changing jobs frequently, but their "Dynamic Duo" shtick of always being a part of each other's lives is played as a joke, so their similar lives/interests may not have anything to do with their race/culture.

Planets where I couldn't identify a common thread:

Enohay (Puddle, Vonda, Bernise)

I would have said creative/artistic fields due to Puddle being a stylist and Vonda being a singer, but I don't think a fortune-teller really falls under that umbrella. Perhaps they're all "dramatic"?

Conohan (Twyla, Chowder, Alpin, Fawks, Beaux)

They all have different professions and interests, two are siblings, and none have especially similar personality traits. In a sense, I suppose this would imply that Conohan is a very diverse planet.

Ohri (Yonny, Dingo)

Neither seems to have much in common with the other aside from being in the Rescue Corps.

Giya (Shepherd, Collin, Russ)

Another diverse group of only rescue officers. However, given the stark difference between Collin's and Russ's financial situations, there are implications that Giya has significant class inequality.
