Pikmin 2/Early English Script/Louie's Notes

All of Louie's Notes were beefed up significantly in the final version. The localization team clearly had fun when writing these descriptions. Or they were hungry. Possibly both.

Missing entries
The following enemies do not have entries in the early script:
 * Hairy Bulborb
 * Decorated Cannon Beetle
 * Volatile Dweevil
 * Toady Bloyster
 * Segmented Crawbster
 * Waterwraith

Dwarf Orange Bulborb
This is the first entry that is completely different between versions.

Fiery Bulblax
The final description neglects to mention removing the wax. Oops.

Water Dumple
Again, the final version neglects to mention the parasites...

Bulbmin
Food Fact: Allspice is a spice that is an essential part of Caribbean cuisine. It was so named by the English because they thought it combined the flavors of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Armored Cannon Beetle Larva
Almost identical but for the extra tip that it's good fried in the early script.

Iridescent Flint Beetle
Food Fact: Jambalaya is a Creole dish made in three parts. It consists of meat, vegetables, and rice.

Iridescent Glint Beetle
Louie's megalomania isn't present in the early script.

Doodlebug
Note that Louie doesn't impart any cooking instructions in the final game.

Male Sheargrub
Not sure what Louie means by raptor talons. There are no raptors in Pikmin (yet).

Cloaking Burrow-nit
Another almost identical description, but the final script gives more detailed instructions on when to stop boiling.

Ravenous Whiskerpillar
Food fact: Genovese sauce consists of beef flank, yellow or white onions, one carrot, olive oil, white wine, tomato concentrate, and prosciutto. It takes 3 to 5 hours to make and is normally served on pasta.

Fiery Dweevil
The Fiery Dweevil keeps a lot better in the final script.

Caustic Dweevil
The Caustic Dweevil went from being edible to inedible. This will happen a bit more in later entries.

Yellow Wollywog
Only the frog's legs are edible in the early script.

Crimson Candypop Bud
The intensity of this flower increased in the final script.

Violet Candypop Bud
The palatibility of the bud's oil improved in the final script.

Queen Candypop Bud
The description of the side effects were toned down a bit.

Unmarked Spectralids
The "partlicularly" misspelling was corrected in the final game.

Mamuta
Mamuta was changed to be inedible in the final game.

Breadbug
Louie's opinion on the culinary possibilities of the breadbug flipped between versions.

Clover
This is the first instance of the bland "Inedible." message being punched up significantly.

Figwort
Figwort was made edible in the final script.

Margaret
More re-edibilitifizing. Or whatever the word for that is.

Empress Bulblax
The edible portion was changed from the ovaries to the liver. It's not hard to guess why!

Man-at-Legs
Food Fact: Machines are not food.
