Hey! Pikmin/Regional Differences

This is a sub-page of Hey! Pikmin.

Kirby: Planet Robobot, Hyrule Warriors Legends, and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World are examples of 3DS games published by Nintendo that contain multiple language files and game assets specific to certain regions. The game detects the region and language settings of the console and loads this data accordingly. Hey! Pikmin is no different.

Like previous Pikmin games, the game uses real-life common household items as things in order to complete objectives. Since common everyday objects and food items differ in familiarity around the world, certain items were swapped depending on the language/system region. Hey! Pikmin follows Pikmin 3 in distancing itself from using brand-name items.

Text Differences

Flauntulent Bauble Notes

US English	EU English
Its yellow sheen screams "quality," or at least "expensive." Someone definitely spent a lot of money on this spaceship part. Putting this on the S.S. Dolphin II will make it extremely classy. Even sitting in the most brilliant ship in space won't make it run better, or make me a more skilled pilot. What's on the inside counts more than good looks. That's why I keep my undies clean.

Quantum Traveler Notes

My guesses were a huge candle or a small lighthouse, but the S.S. Dolphin II says it's actually a rocket capable of navigating the universe.

Constitution Gate Notes

US English	EU English
On days when I have to walk morning to night and my feet are screaming at me to stop, going through this gate helps. Its strong magnetic force must realign the flow of iron in my blood...I guess. I just had an unpleasant thought: Was it this strong magnetic force that riled up the Puffstalk too? I'm starting to feel ill again at the idea.	Whoever decided to build this sturdy gateway out of highly magnetic material must have had a reason, but all I know is it tugs on my helmet antenna most uncomfortably when I walk through it. Perhaps it was this magnetism that riled up the Puffstalk I got it from, too? Now I feel bad for fighting it - it was probably just having a bad day.

Twisty Pick Notes

US English	EU English
My daughter said she wanted to be treated like her mom, so I got her a fancy dress. She said, "No, like MOM!" so I bought her a toy car to drive. She threw a fit. I couldn't tell where I was going wrong. When I mentioned it to my wife, she laughed and said, "She wanted you to give her a hug." Just like me to get the simplest things all twisted up!	My daughter spends half her time insisting she should be treated like an adult, and the other half clamouring to be treated like a kid (usually when she wants a new toy). Typically, I always treat her like one when she wants to be treated like the other. I feel like this artefact represents that relationship - a constant spiral, never quite reaching full mutual understanding.

Value Band Notes

US English	EU English

Consolation Prize Notes

US English	EU English
My daughter has started asking for real jewelry. The gleam in her eye as she looked at the stone on my wife's finger was a little scary, but who am I to say no to my little girl? Of course, real jewelry isn't in the family budget. But I did get her a very real-looking one. If I know her, though, she's too sharp to be fooled for long. I'll have to make some sacrifices then.	The S.S. Dolphin II observes that something in the make-up of this artefact's stone prevents all light from passing through it except for waves towards the upper end of the visible spectrum. It sounds clever, but I am beginning to suspect that all this actually tells me is that it is blue. Whatever this object is really for, I can say with certainty that it is super sparkly and I want it.

Tandem Sword Notes

US English	EU English
This ancient weapon required two soldiers to operate. They would maneuver it around an enemy then run swiftly toward each other to bring the deadly blades together. Urk...

Distortion Chamber Notes

US English	EU English
As I entered this metal structure, I was greeted with a version of myself as a much thinner man! But it was just a trick of the light. A lot of people, myself included, have asked me why I don't go on a diet. But I think it's time to face the fact that this is just how much I weigh. So long, Skinny Olimar... I'll try to forget you.	As I entered this metal structure, I was greeted with the image of myself as slender as a blade of grass. Perhaps this curious technology could be used to create carnival attractions back on Hocotate.

Berserker Brush Notes

US English	EU English
This is the king of brushes. Hair brushes, deck brushes, and all other brushes tremble in its presence. When angered, it vibrates with rage and lets loose a high-pitched bellowing noise.

Vacated Baby Buggy Notes

US English	EU English
Whether an empty baby buggy is a sad sight or a happy one is a matter of perspective. Some people's minds go to a dark place at once, but I see it and am glad my children are growing.	I can easily see why this baby buggy was vacated by its previous occupant - it's filthy! Analysis of the residue left behind leads me to hypothesise that the erstwhile owner was a carbon-based life form.
