GeezerVison is showing www.pikminwiki.com — Minor characters      Minor characters(Redirected from Pitunia)
There are some minor characters mentioned in the Pikmin series, but are never given any more importance to the plot than the main leaders and other similar characters. Some of these supporting characters include family members to the main cast. Because some of these are only briefly mentioned, little is known about them, such as their name. Olimar's familyOlimar's known family consists of his wife, his son, his daughter, and his pet, Bulbie. Since Olimar works for Hocotate Freight, it seems he gets little time to spend with his family. In Pikmin 3, he addresses this by stating that he will take his whole family on a vacation when he gets home. Judging from the Pikmin 2 mail, it seems that Olimar's family has no responsibility for handling money, because they spend Olimar's bonuses on things like trips to the hot springs, and his son states that he should send in a bonus check for a spam mail offer. Olimar's wife
Olimar's wife is a woman who has a blue shirt covered with an apron. She cares about her kids very much, but is usually irresponsible when it comes to money. When Olimar's special bonuses arrive at his house, she often uses the money to buy her kids what they have been wanting.[1][2] However, it seems that money can make the best of her. Whenever the bonuses come in, she seems to get stricter on her kids, and might be lacking in common sense, as Olimar's son states that she wants things like sending Bulbie to the circus.[3] She admits to sometimes going to beaches and theaters all day until the kids come home.[4] After losing a large amount of money, she realizes the mistake she made, and loosens back up into her former self. In the original versions of Pikmin 2, this resulted from her wasting money on lottery tickets;[5] the Nintendo Switch port alters the mail to say that she was pickpocketed.[6] In Japanese versions prior to the port, she instead loses all her money at a casino. After time has passed, she pleads for Olimar to come home (very lovingly), promising his favorite meal – pikpik carrot soup.[7] At one point during Pikmin 2, she tried to apply for a part-time job, but got rejected in favor of younger employees.[8] Sometime after this, she instead gets a job as a boss as mentioned in Hey! Pikmin.[9] In Pikmin 2, her age becomes indirectly noted, given that Olimar mentions his wife's wrinkles – a sign of elderhood. He plans to take her on vacation to calm her down.[10] At some point after collecting all 201 treasures in Pikmin 2, she will send a repeating message asking Olimar to come home. The only way to stop these messages is to open a new save file.
Olimar's son
Olimar's son is a young boy, usually shown wearing a grey cap and green shirt with a white stripe. He is implied to attend Hocotate elementary and seems to be fascinated by his father's adventures.[11] He is addicted to video games,[12] and enjoys them more than studying, in contrast to his sister. Judging by some of his mail, he is anxious with girls.[13][14] He always yearns for his father to come home, and doesn't like it when his mother becomes strict because of the pay bonuses, asking his father to come home to fix the mess. He seems to be easily won over, as he asks if he should send in Olimar's bonus check for a piece of spam mail.[15] Olimar's son is also known to have gifted his father the Sagittarius. Because of this, some fans nickname the boy "Sagittarius".
Olimar's daughter
Olimar's daughter is seen only wearing a pink suit with a hood of sorts, and has little personality. In her mail she sends in Pikmin 2, she discusses briefly how she is being pressured to become a proper lady, and asks Olimar what she should do.[16][17] She also speaks about how Olimar's wife has changed during the absence of her husband. She attends some school on Hocotate, based on the fact that her mother gets strict about her writing and studying.[16] She also appears to like jewelry, as noted by Olimar on some treasures. Despite these mature traits, she is depicted as a baby in a Pikmin voyage log, and in the bulletin board in The Night Juicer yet her brother seems the same age in both. This is likely a consistency error. Olimar's daughter is known to have gifted the Libra to her father, and that the Libra is her astrological sign. Because of this, some fans give her the nickname "Libra". She also appears as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The sticker increases Pikmin attack damage by 7%.
Bulbie Olimar's family, as seen in his voyage log. Bulbie is at the bottom. Bulbie is Olimar's family pet space dog.[3] He is briefly mentioned in Pikmin and Hey! Pikmin, and is described to physically resemble a Bulborb, being the namesake for the creature, as the voyage log he's seen in depicts him with eye-stalks, a wide mouth, three spots, and two legs. He is also described as very lazy, which is sometimes a characteristic of real world dogs.[18] While Olimar is away from his family in Pikmin 2, Bulbie gets thin after his family forgets to feed him.[19] He later eats many pikpik carrots and returns to normal.[20] Olimar's wife also considers sending Bulbie to the circus during this time.[3]
Olimar's parentsOlimar's mother and father are briefly mentioned in his notes on the Priceless Statue and Worthless Statue respectively in the Nintendo GameCube and New Play Control! versions of Pikmin 2. Olimar sees his father as slightly worthless and, at a first glance being impressive, but being considered "cheap" upon closer inspection.[21] Olimar's mother is reminisced by him when writing the notes for the Priceless Statue, and notes how the treasure is similar to a gift he once gave her for Mother's Day. Although he likes her, he admits there are times where he is not fond of her.[22] Finally, the notes on the Taste Sensation also mention Olimar's mother, in that Olimar describes the treasure's taste to be similar to something his mother has cooked for him by hand.[23] Louie's familyThe only member of Louie's family is mentioned in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, his grandmother. Louie's grandmother
Louie's grandmother shows a lot of love for Louie, as well as a lot of concern as he is missing for part of Pikmin 2.[24] In her mail, she describes fond memories of Louie as a boy and how bugs loved him (or rather, loved biting him).[25] She sometimes sang a special lullaby to put him to sleep.[26] She also talks about how he loves pikpik carrots,[27] and she apparently sends preserved bug food with her mail,[24] though it is never actually seen or detailed. Louie's grandmother lives in the countryside near a mountain, which Louie suggests was muddy, where, when he was a child, she would make him eat bugs.[28][29] Louie claims that she likes round, shiny objects.[30][31] It appears as though she is not alone, given how at one point she uses the term "we" in one of her mails.[27] After all the treasures in the game have been collected, Louie's grandmother sends one final message, in which she shows her pride in how Louie has become an "extraordinary man".[32] In the GameCube and Wii versions of Pikmin 2, she mistakenly referred to herself as Louie's "dad" in this message, likely due to ババ? (lit.: "grandmother") being misread as パパ? (lit.: "dad"). This mistake is not present in the Japanese version, and is fixed in the Switch port, where the word "nana" is used instead. The same mistake was fixed with his "auntie" which is retconned as his grandmother in the Switch port. In his voyage log in Pikmin 4, Louie indirectly mentions that his grandmother sent him cookies to eat during his mission to rescue Captain Olimar. Louie grew tired of her cookies, so he started cooking creatures from PNF-404 instead.[33]
The President's familyThe President has only one known member in his family, his wife. The President's wife
The President's wife is quite a sassy woman and the "real boss" of Hocotate Freight. She reveals to constantly be yelling at her husband for loafing around. At one point, she sends the President mail stating that his report is wrong.[34] She also reveals that the ship sends her a report at the end of every day, and says that the ship knows that she is the real boss.[35] During the President's absence, she begins turning the company around for the better.[36] Once all the treasures are retrieved, she thanks her husband and says she sees him "in a new light". This implies that she is very responsible about work.
Alph's familyAlph has only one known important member in his family: his grandfather, Drake. Alph talks about him sometimes while aboard the S.S. Drake. He also has many siblings. DrakeVery little is known about Drake. All that is known about him is that he designed the S.S. Drake[37] and that he knows about some of Hocotate's history. Other than that, it is said that Alph spent a lot of time with his grandfather as a child.[38] As a result, he looks up to Drake as a role model. Where Alph's comments on the Hermit Crawmad say "Although I have heard that an intentional flaw lends a certain charm to one's creations", the Japanese version reveals this was something Alph heard from his grandfather. The S.S. Drake's trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mentions that the name "Drake" may remind players of the second man to circumnavigate the globe, Sir Francis Drake. Because Drake's name begins with D, some fans believe that this would have been the name of the scrapped fourth "D" leader, had the developers not cut the character off during development.
Alph's sisterAlph mentions how his older sister used to always share food with him even when it was scarce.[39] Other than that, not much is known about her. Alph's other siblingsAlph also has twelve older brothers and one younger brother, making Alph the 14th oldest sibling, though Alph doesn't talk much about them. However, in other languages, Alph is instead said to be the 13th oldest, and the gender of his siblings, other than his younger brother and older sister, is not mentioned. It is implied that Yorke from Pikmin 4 is Alph's oldest sibling. Brittany's familyBrittany also has only one known member of her family – Auntie Bea. According to the Japanese Pikmin Garden website, Brittany is an only child. However, Nelle is implied to be a relative of hers. Auntie BeaBrittany's Auntie Bea treated Brittany with lots of love, giving her sweets and such, and Brittany likes her because of it.[40] She is known for her famous fruit pastries on Koppai.[41] Auntie Bea's hair is dyed a similar color to the Dusk Pustules, and in Brittany's notes on the same fruit, she states that to be a "rebellious streak", implying most Koppaites don't have that color of hair naturally.[42][43] Auntie Bea's nose is similar in shape to the Tremendous Sniffer, and she is the envy of the family because of her nose.[44] However, in languages other than English, Brittany does not mention a nose. Instead, she describes her aunt's elegant appearance, and expresses wanting to be like her. Brittany's aunt goes unnamed outside of the English and NOA French versions.
Charlie's petsNone of Captain Charlie's blood relatives are ever named, but two pets are mentioned. Alph also mentions that he's not sure if Charlie is married or not.[45] ElizabethIn a few check ins, Alph asks Charlie who "Elizabeth" is, Charlie explains that Elizabeth is his pet duck with which he shares a strong bond with and that he considers her his soulmate.[46] This pet is directly stated to be a duck,[47] so together with Charlie's rubber ducky and Brittany's mention of geese, Koppai must have animal species that closely resembles those of Earth.
Charlie's dogIn the US version, Brittany's notes on the Dawn Pustules imply that Charlie may have a pet dog. Charlie is apparently said to have painted his dog to match his favorite color – the shade of green seen on his spacesuit.[48] In the European and Japanese versions, there is no mention of a dog at all. The Shepherd familyThe Shepherd family history in Pikmin 4 contains the different captains of the Rescue Corps over the generations, all being related to Erma Shepherd. Most of them are known through the "Shepherd Family History" section of the Rescue Journal, with the exception of Erma's father who she mentions in her own diary.[49]
Russ' FamilyOnly one member of Russ' family is known, that being his mother, who is briefly mentioned in Pikmin 4.[50] Civilian castaways
In Pikmin 4, there are several travelers that are not associated with the Rescue Corps that have become stranded on PNF-404. They will stay at the Rescue Command Post upon being rescued, and some provide useful functions or give the player side missions. Their names are inspired by different canines. SchnauzSchnauz is a treasure appraiser. Rescuing him unlocks the Treasure Catalog. His name alludes to Schnauzers. He is from the planet Siguray. When chatting to him after his rescue he reveals that he loves treasure both for its monetary value, and also for its sentimental value, although one line of dialogue suggests that the former is more important.[51] He plans on finding more treasure on other planets as soon as he is off of this one.[52] Schnauz's notes on returning treasures in the Treasure Catalog are heavily based on the Hocotate ship's sales pitches. Due to translation differences, this is more apparent in the Japanese version.
DalmoDalmo is an animal enthusiast. Rescuing him unlocks the Piklopedia. His name alludes to Dalmatian dogs. He is from the planet Sozor. In his post rescue dialogue he mentions that after seeing Captain Olimar's Voyage log he wanted to come to this planet to see new creatures.[53]
CorgwinCorgwin is a general contractor. Rescuing him unlocks the ability to replay Dandori Battles. His name alludes to Welsh Corgis. He is from the planet Moyama. In his post rescue chat he mentions that when he learned of PNF-404 on the news,[54] he believed that a lot of people would try to move there so he decided to do so as well.[55] Before losing consciousness they saw a Leafling as he was being attacked by a creature,[56] and they believed that the Leafling was turning castaways into leaflings for a reason.[57] As a leafling he mentions that all he could think about was how to better manage job sites, improve worker efficiency, and give better direction.[58] He also mentions that all of that thinking was exhausting.[59] His Japanese name may be a reference to the Carpenters from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, whose Japanese names all end in ロー?.
JinJin is a space explorer. Rescuing him unlocks the ability to replay beaten Dandori Challenges. His name alludes to Korean Jindos. He is from the planet Flukuey. Jin makes it possible to replay Dandori Challenges by prompting the player to meditate, allowing them to remember any challenge perfectly even though no one has physical access to the caves anymore. In his post rescue dialogue, he mentions that his dream was to explore uncharted planets as an adventurer, but no new planets had been discovered since Jin was born.[60] As soon as Olimar's SOS broadcast was heard, Jin immediately flew over to PNF-404.[61] When describing his crash he seems to imply that while he had come here alone, he co-owned the spaceship with some unknown person.[62]
PuddlePuddle is a universal stylist. Rescuing him unlocks the ability to edit the rookie Rescue Officer's appearance and name. His name alludes to Poodles. He is from the planet Enohay. When chatting with Puddle, he has a unique way of speaking by referring to himself in the 3rd person for the start of each conversation before switching to "I".[63] Puddle implies that changing the look of the Rescue Officer is canon by explaining how it works.[64][65][66] Puddle also refuses to explain where he is from,[67] however his ID badge says that Puddle is from Enohay like Vonda and Bernise.
ChetChet is a research task force lead. His name alludes to the Shetland Sheepdog. He is from the planet Mihama and wrote the reports found on the Japanese Pikmin Garden website. Chet is the leader of the Research group sent to PNF-404 by the Interstellar Federation in order to see if it would make as a good living environment, and see what the natural resources are. His crew consists of François, Pitunia, Sy, Osa, Kit, Twyla, Sammy, Komo and Ren. Chet is a kindhearted man who is very empathetic, congratulating the player on their hard work, hoping that there are not any more crash victims,[68][69] and complementing his team. While he is described as a leader, he acknowledges that he does not do much besides napping,[70] but when awake he does take care of environmental concerns so that his team is free to focus on their research.[71] Even if he does not do much actual work, his ID card says that he is the glue holding the team together, most likely due to his charming personality.[72] He also frequently mentions how great of a chef Ren is[73] and even once mentions that he wonders if he could make a meal out of the local wildlife as ingredients, a joke on Louie's appetite.[74]
FrançoisFrançois is a research task force recruit. His name alludes to the French Bulldog. He is from the planet Ooji. He is one of two Castaways that have a repeating quest so that the player can always obtain more raw material. In his post rescue dialogue, François mentions seeing Glow Pikmin on the Rescue Corps's relay[75] and mentioning that the Glow Pikmin will flower automatically after some time.[76]
PituniaPitunia is a research task force recruit. Her name alludes to Pit bulls. She is from the planet Ogura and claims to have been made in a biocrafter, an "organic factory that creates other life".[77] She believes the Onion to also be a biocrafter.[78] She is an evolutionary biologist sent as a member of Chet's crew to study PNF-404. While it is unknown how she feels about most of her team, she does frequently talk to Sy, the environmental ecologist, to discuss about science.[79]
SySy is a research task force recruit that is researching Pikmin ecology. His name alludes to the Siberian Husky. He is from the planet Ogura. He is quite talented for his age as he entered university at a "very young age"[80] and joined Chet's research team to investigate PNF-404. When Sy landed on PNF-404, Sy did not fall unconscious, rather he began exploring but forgot to check his suit's battery which caused the suit to enter forced-sleep mode.[81] Sy is incredibly interested in both Pikmin and the Onion, making several statements and theories on how Onions operate: one such theory is that the Onion has a mind and will of its own.[82] Sy and Pitunia (coworkers on the research team) each have their own theories on the Onion: Pitunia claims that the Onion was artificial or in some way intently created, however Sy believes that because the Onion is alive with it's own will and needs it must mean that it is a natural specimen.
OsaOsa is a research task force recruit, specializing in archaeology. His name alludes to the Tosa Inu. He is from the planet Siguray. Osa is another member of Chet's crew, getting into archeology because "archeology is FUN!". He says that the rookie Rescue Officer reminds him of Kit being impressed by what you do. Osa's favorite part of archeology is finding structures and theorizing who or what could have built them as well as finding out more about past civilizations. In the Japanese version, Osa speaks in the Kansai dialect.
KitKit is a research task force recruit who is studying raw materials. His name alludes to the Akita Inu. He is from the planet Siguray. Kit is one of many minor characters that can have different-colored hair, as this may have to do with the color the leaves when he was a leafling [83]. Kit is another member of Chet's team. He is Osa's junior and thanks to him, he became part of the task force. Kit is slower and more methodical compared to Osa, however he admires Osa's energy. Kit has put some research into ores and minerals on PNF-404 as well as raw material, and he had figured out that raw material is not a mineral but instead a "highly pure conglomeration of fossilized creature remains", something that has not been observed elsewhere in the universe. This leads him to believe that either it's a process that happens only on PNF-404 or through a "unknown life-form". One quote by Kit implies that he likes minerals: "The resources I've found on this planet are exceptional! Did you know that the purity of the minerals in the ground here is..." and then he cuts off before apologizing for rambling, he says his favorite mineral is iron and he then talks about oxidation. Kit claims that when he found a "beautiful ore that shimmers in all the colors of the rainbow" on PNF-404 and "it cracked when I fell to the surface", the ore may be referencing bismuth, a colorful and brittle ore. This message also implies that the research crew landed on PNF-404 without issue, but as they were taking off they crashed due to the fact that Kit found bismuth "here" and it cracked as he "fell to the surface".
TwylaTwyla is a research task force recruit that enjoys geology. Her name alludes to Rottweiler dogs. She is from the planet Conohan. When Twyla agreed to join Chet's research task force, something urged to her by her professor, she was confident, however, ever since landing she has felt completely out of her depth, as she is much more comfortable in a lab environment than out on the field. After the crash Twyla doesn't understand how the rest of the task force can remain calm about their situation. Twyla also remarks about Keesh (a student who also crashed) and how Keesh keeps asking geology questions to her that even she doesn't know the answers to. Twyla, not wanting to not be seen as smart has made countless excuses to avoid Keesh. After the player rescues Komo, Twyla talks about her, saying that she is shy like her and she helped Twyla not be to scared. Twyla describes Komo as a irreplaceable friend she listens sincerely to everything Twyla talks about and Twyla does the same. After Komo is saved Twyla starts to have a different view on past events, saying that now they have a great opportunity to study PNF-404, saying that her professor was right to push Twyla into this task force in order to get some out of lab experience. She goes outside the base camp with Komo to study the planet's soil and it's water purifying properties, and when Keesh asks more questions about geology she starts being honest saying that she doesn't know, but they are both in the midst of their education and can learn together.
SammySammy is a research task force recruit that loves the sky. His name alludes to Samoyed dogs. He is from the planet Ocobo, a planet that rains so much that for all but one day it constantly storms. It is because of this Sammy loves anything to do with the clear sky: stars, sunsets and the blue sky.
KomoKomo is part of Chet's research task force recruit studying hydrologic cycles. Her name alludes to Komondors. She is from the planet Tagwa. Komo is not great at making conversations, and tends to keep to herself, however with the help of the rookie Rescue Officer and from her coworker and friend Twyla, she has opened up. With the help of Twyla's research into soil as a form of water-purification, Komo plans to use soil as a means to purify Tagwa's water supplies.
RenRen is a member of Chet's research task force recruit that is studying flavor profiles. His name alludes to Pyrenean Mountain dogs. He is from the planet Enohee. He enjoys both the art of cooking and the science of herbal remedies admittedly for lessor ills such as a dish that could "make someone relax almost instantly". Like many members of the task force, he is incredibly thankful for the rookie Rescue Officer and encourages them to take breaks. Ren speaks on why he was able to join the task force, saying that it was an "impassioned plea" to Chet is what allowed him to join, and due to the nature of his job as a chef he helps motivate everybody with a well cooked meal. During his stay on PNF-404 Ren has made a "mushroom risotto" with a sprinkle of ultra-spicy nectar; while nobody ate it, its potential effects are mentioned in one of the many post day dialogues. After leaving PNF-404, Ren plans on finding more flavors and ingredients.
ChewyChewy is an uncharted planet tour guide who works for the Satella Travel company. Her name alludes to Chihuahua dogs. She is from the planet Neechki.
SantiSanti is a freelance pilot. His name alludes to St. Bernard dogs. He is from the planet Nijo, and according to him, he was born right next to Bernard. He has a bizarre form of bad luck where Bernard will always be present (and always succeeding) at the next location he goes to, even when Bernard is completely unaware of Santi's next destination. It took Santi about three months to get his pilot's license, and Bernard was, much to his chagrin, his driving instructor. Santi was flying the participants of Satella Travel's Uncharted Planet Tour when their ship crashed.
SheebaSheeba is an uncharted planet tourist and founder of Alayon Academy's Planetary Science Club. Her name alludes to Shiba Inu dogs. She is from the planet Neechki. She frequently puts pressure on other students and their teacher Mika to go on schools trips and was the driving force behind their trip to PNF-404, a fact which Sheeba later comes to regret. She is interested in becoming a teacher like Mika in the future.
KeeshKeesh is an uncharted planet tourist and member of the Planetary Science Club. Her name alludes to Kishu dogs. She is from the planet Neechki. She is interested in geology and sometimes goes out to dig for minerals; Sheeba claims that this has made Keesh physically stronger than the other two students and Mika combined.
KaiaKaia is an uncharted planet tourist and member of the Planetary Science Club. Her name alludes to Kai Ken dogs. She is from the planet Neechki. She is interested in meteorology but has a lax attitude towards schoolwork; when tasked with studying the weather, she often ends up looking at the sky without noting anything. She has a habit of calling Mika by the nickname "Meeki", which Sheeba criticizes.
MikaMika is an uncharted planet tourist and a teacher for Alayon Academy. Her name alludes to the Mikawa Inu. She is from the planet Neechki. She became a teacher shortly after college and views herself as inexperienced, believing that the students did better than her at handling the crisis when they were separated from each other. She mostly teaches ethics and knows little of natural science. Mika enjoys being called "Meeki" by Kaia, but admits that such nicknames are inappropriate in a school setting.
MollyMolly is an uncharted planet tourist and a streamer. Her name alludes to Maltese dogs. She is from the planet Flukuey. After rescuing Molly, she can talk more about her past such as creating an unmanned rocket to follow a trend, asking other people to throw water on her for content, and wanting to prank the Pikmin for content. She started streaming because the streamers she watched were always smiling, and she wanted that. It is also implied that Molly has a crush on Russ.

Spammers An example of a spam icon from the Pikmin 2 mail. There are five characters in Pikmin 2 that send spam e-mails after the debt has been repaid. The icons for these characters merely show a silhouette, leaving their appearances mostly unknown. They all attempt to advertise one thing or another, and include a real-world Internet address in their messages, for the players themselves to visit. Spam 1The first spam message the player will receive is from a person who is apparently very lonely and wants a friend to listen to their troubles.[84] Based on the shady outline, this character is probably female. In the Japanese version, the link in the email is http://nintendo.jp/p/c234 on the GameCube and http://nintendo.jp/p/w234 on the New Play Control! version, and leads to a page with the text 「まぁ、ありがとう！早速来てくれたのね。とっても嬉しいわ。ねぇ…よかったら…ワタシがアナタの性格を診断してア・ゲ・ル！」 ("My, thank you! You came quickly. I'm so glad. Hey...if you like...I can test your personality!"). The button on the page leads to a personality test. Spam 2The second spam message is from someone talking about saving tons of Pokos through bargains and cut-rate prices.[85] In the the Nintendo Switch version and all Japanese versions, the email is sent by the Hocotate radio station. Olimar's son also mentions that he received a similar message, and asks Olimar if he should send his bonus check.[15]. In the Japanese version, the sender instead asks the reader to send interesting experiences, and the link is http://nintendo.jp/p/c756 on the GameCube and http://nintendo.jp/p/w756 on the New Play Control! version, and leads to a page with the text 「借金、返済できたのね。お疲れさま！大変だった？楽しかった？あなたの体験談が聞きたいな。良かったら送ってきてね！」 ("You managed to pay off the debt, didn't you? Good job! Was it hard? Was it fun? I'd be interested to hear about your experiences. Please send them if you like!"). A button on the page used to lead to a now-closed feedback form for players to send messages to the game's developers. A collection of these messages can be found on a page on the game's Japanese website. Spam 3The third spam message is received after Louie has been recovered. The sender talks about some device that accordingly "slices... dices... plays videogames... sends mail... wraps gifts" and "cures snoring".[86] Based on the shady outline, this character is probably female. In the Japanese version, the sender instead asks in a suggestive way to see the reader's "amazing techniques", and the link is http://nintendo.jp/p/c986 on the GameCube and http://nintendo.jp/p/w986 on the New Play Control! version, and leads to a page with the text 「ラブリーな私に会いに来てくれたのね！あなたのそのやる気に応えて、まずはわたしがすっごいテクニックを披露しちゃうわよ！」 ("You've come to see lovely me! In response to your enthusiasm, I'm going to show you some amazing techniques!"). The button on the page leads to a list of gameplay videos showcasing "super techniques". In all Nintendo Switch versions of the game, the message is instead an advertisement for a restaurant. Spam 4The fourth spam message talks about changing jobs, and finding "the new you". It advertises an unseen company known as Hocotate Whiz.[87] In the Japanese version, the link in the email is http://nintendo.jp/p/c089 on the GameCube and http://nintendo.jp/p/w089 on the New Play Control! version, and leads to a page with the text 「いらっしゃいませ！あたらしいあなたをお探しですか？こちらは、任天堂公式記録の紹介所です。さあ、未来への扉を開いてください！」 ("Welcome! Looking for a new you? This is Nintendo's official records agency. Now, please open the door to the future!"). The button on the page leads to an official table of Challenge Mode records. Spam 5The fifth and final spam message is received after all the treasures have been collected. It advertises music. It speaks of "Pikpik's greatest hits", implying that there is a band on Hocotate by the name of Pikpik.[88] In the Japanese version, the link in the email is http://nintendo.jp/p/c934 on the GameCube and http://nintendo.jp/p/w934 on the New Play Control! version, and leads to a page with the text 「あら、来てくれたのね。ひとりぼっちでさびしかったのかしら…？でも、もう大丈夫。隠しコマンドを教えてあげる。これであなたもハッピーね！」 ("Oh, you came. I wonder if you were lonely and alone...? But you're all right now. I'll teach you some hidden commands. You'll be happy now!"). The button on the page leads to a list of "hidden commands", containing various tips, such as what different buttons do when on the title screen or the existence of Ujadani. See alsoReferences
