An early English script is present on the Japanese disk in file /message/mesRes_eng.szs. It's very much incomplete -- This is 26.6 KB while the final game's script is 122 kb -- and seems to be a direct translation of a Japanese script.

Louie's Notes Louie found better ways to cook some creatures, so he replaced his old notes with his better ones. |
Names
Almost all object / area names were changed for the final version. Several enemy names were also changed.
The most interesting change here is the Treasure Anteanna to Napsack. The Treasure Anteanna was changed to the Sulking Antenna in the final game. In early treasure packs, the model was present in radar_b.szs, which is used in the final game by...the Napsack! So, this text file is actually based on an earlier version of the game.

Slight rewording and such.
Louie is Rescued
Early | Final |
---|---|
Louie? ... ... ... Are you dying? ... No! He appears only to have fainted! He is always running into trouble and fainting. Instruct the Pikmin to carry him. There is not enough room for him in the cockpit. We will have to keep him in the cargo hold with the treasure. |
Louie? ... ... ... Are your life functions fading? ... No! He appears only to have fainted! He is always running into trouble... Instruct the Pikmin to carry him. There is not enough room for him in the cockpit anymore. We will have to keep him in the cargo hold with the treasure hoard. |
The main difference here is some minor censorship. The explicit reference to dying was softened a bit.

You have found a remarkable object! My analysis concludes it is a key to the next floor! It looks oddly familiar.. Have I observed it before? Perhaps I am mistaken. |
There's a bit more doubt in the ship's statements in the final script.
Olimar's Notes
Red Bulborb
Early | Final |
---|---|
Red Bulborb Oculus kageyamii ssp RED Grub-dog family This large organism has the mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, its cranium comprises half of the organism's length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Subspecies of different colors have recently been discovered, and academics are split into two main schools over how to handle treatment of them. |
Red Bulborb Oculus kageyamii russus Grub-dog family This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification. |
The renaming of the Red Bulborb to Spotty Bulborb is not mentioned at all in the early script. The temporary scientific name was replaced (that's why it's called temporary) in the final game. Other than that, just a bit of rewording and spell checking.
Dwarf Red Bulborb
Early | Final |
---|---|
Dwarf Red Bulborb Pansarus Psuedooculii RED Breadbug Family Initially identified as a juvenile red bulborb, recent research places this creature in the breadbug. A close relative of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation by bulborbs through mimicry. Unique adaptation of the red bulbord's crimson coloration allows the species to comingle. Such effective adaptation by a prey species is rare, making this a cleverly skillful mimc. |
Dwarf Red Bulborb Pansarus pseudoculii russus Breadbug family Although initially identified as a juvenile red bulborb, groundbreaking new research indicates that this creature is in fact a member of the breadbug family. A close relative of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation through mimicry. Unique adaptation of the red bulborb's crimson coloration allows the species to safely commingle. Such effective adaptation and obfuscation by a prey species is rare, indicating this clever creature is a master of mimicry. |
The Dwarf Red Bulborb's description was punched up, and several spelling errors were fixed. The early script goes back and forth on whether or not to capitalize every part of the scientific name. In the final version, only the first part is capitalized.
Spotty Bulbear
Early | Final |
---|---|
Spotty Bulbear Oculus terribilis Grubu-dog family A mid-size subspecies within the grub-dog family, what sets it apart from other grub-dogs is that rather than adopt the passive feeding habits of typical grub-dogs and hunting only on prey that wanders into its limited territorial range, the bulbear appears to regularly patrol a set track in search of food. When entering bulbear habitat, it is wisest to proceed with extreme caution until the bulbear's patrol path can be identified. |
Spotty Bulbear Oculus terribilis dotticum Grub-dog family A midsize subspecies within the grub-dog family, the spotty bulbear's unique feeding habits set it apart from other grub-dogs. The spotty bulbear patrols a set path searching for prey, instead of passively feeding on creatures that wander into a limited territorial range. When entering bulbear habitat, it is wise to proceed with extreme caution until the bulbear's patrol path can be clearly identified. |
The final game has an extra scientific identifier, "Dotticum". Some standard spelling and grammar fixes, along with rewording to make the text flow better. Unlike that last sentence.
Dwarf Bulbear
Early | Final |
---|---|
Dwarf Bulbear Oculus terribilis Grub-dog family A grub-dog larva in its third stage of development, its body structure is nearing maturation. However, unlike mature bulbear's it has yet to claim its own patrol route, and thus is dependent and still follows its parent. |
Dwarf Bulbear Oculus terribilis Grub-dog family A grub-dog larva in its third stage of development, this creature's body structure is nearing maturation. However, unlike mature bulbears, it has yet to claim its own patrol route, and thus is dependent upon its parent for guarding direction. |
This is basically the same. Yep.
Bulborb Larva
Early | Final |
---|---|
Bulborb Larva Oculus bambinii Grub-dog Family As its name inplies, this is a bulborb at its earliest stage of development. Its distinct bulborb coloration is yet to appear, but it already boasts other bulborb characteristics, and is capable of acquiring nourishment indepently. |
Bulborb Larva Oculus bambinii Grub-dog family As its name implies, this creature is a bulborb in an early stage of development. Its distinct bulborb coloration has yet to appear, but it already exhibits other uniquely bulborb characteristics. It is capable of hunting nourishment independently without the help of its parents. |
The final script no longer inplies. The early script refers to this as the earliest stage, while the final uses the more vague "early stage" for the bulborb's development.
Fiery Bulblax
Early | Final |
---|---|
Fiery Bulblax Oculus volcano Grub-dog family Bodily excretions of a highly flammable wax-like substance interact with the cell structure of this grub-dog's skin, causing a chemical reaction that produces extremely high temperatures. The skin benefits from a sponge-like cell structure that diffuses the surface heat, protecting the inner organs. Due to the remarkble flames and heat produced by this beast, great caution is needed in handling it. |
Fiery Bulblax Oculus vulcanus Grub-dog family Bodily excretions of a highly flammable waxy substance interact with the cell structure of this grub-dog's skin, causing a chemical reaction that produces extremely high temperatures. The skin benefits from a spongy cell structure that diffuses the surface heat, protecting the creature's inner organs. Due to the astonishing amount of heat produced by this beast, it should be observed with great caution. |
Besides the standard changes, the creature's scientific name was changed from Oculus volcano to Oculus vulcanus.
Water Dumple
Early | Final |
---|---|
Water Dumple Ichthyosa felinis Grub-dog family A resident of tidepools and marshes, this creature feeds on insects that fall into the water. It is a close relative of the bulborb, with the skeletal structure of its terrestrial cousin nearly wholly intact offering clues to its familial origin and suggesting it only recently emmigrated to the waterways. |
Water Dumple Ichthyosa felinis Grub-dog family A resident of freshwater pools and marshes, this aquatic creature regularly feeds on insects that land on the surface of the water. It shares a nearly identical skeletal structure with its close relative and terrestrial cousin, the bulborb. This may offer clues to its evolutionary origin and suggests that it only recently emigrated to an aquatic habitat. |
"Tidepools" changed to "freshwater pools", plus other changes blah blah.
Fiery Blowhog
Early | Final |
---|---|
Fiery Blowhog Sus draconus Blowhog family This creature expels from its snout a phosphorous compound that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing is dependant upon the air-to-fuel ratio at the mouth, catalyst reaction of the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased. |
Fiery Blowhog Sus draconus Blowhog family This creature expels a volatile phosphorous compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased. |
Like the Spotty Bulbear, this is pretty much the same between scripts.
Watery Blowhog
Early | Final |
---|---|
Spitty Blowhog Sus loogiens Blowhog Family A variant sub-species of the fiery blowhog, the spitty blowhog lacks several of the genes necessary for prducing the catalyst needed to produce fire, and thus merely spits out the basic liquid prouced several steps prior to being transformed into a catalyzer. It is a variant that has appeared only recently, but the hereditary traits of this variant appear dominant, and thus at present the subspecies is rapidly increasing its numbers. |
Watery Blowhog Sus loogiens Blowhog family A variant subspecies of the fiery blowhog, the watery blowhog lacks several of the dominant genes necessary for the production of fire- producing catalysts, and thus expels jets of the nonflammable liquid. This subspecies appears to have only recently evolved. However, the hereditary traits of this variant are dominant and highly robust, so its population is rapidly increasing. |
The liquid that the Watery Blowhog expels is given greater detail in the early script.
Puffy Blowhog
Early | Final |
---|---|
Puffy Blowhog Sus inflata Blowhog Family This species of blowhog uses internally generated hydrogen to inflate a flotation bladder and hover above the ground. The creature's electrolyzed pulse creates a sash of color that flows along the surface of its body, making it a particulalry beautiful blowhog specimen. Precisely how it is able to internally stable its highly explosive hydrogen and simultaneously generate electricty remains a mystery. The puffy blowhog blows fallen leaves and grass around to eat the insects underneath. It maintains mid-air balance through both the use of fins and by releasing air through blowholes in the creatures sides, allowing it to float effortlessly even in gentle breezes. In times danger, it can release its flotation bladder for an instantaneous escaped from trouble. |
Puffy Blowhog Sus inflata Blowhog family This species of blowhog uses internally generated hydrogen to inflate a flotation bladder and hover above the ground. The creature's electrified pulse creates a sash of color that flows along the surface of its body, making it a particularly beautiful blowhog species. Precisely how it is able to internally stabilize its highly explosive hydrogen and simultaneously generate electricity remains a mystery. The puffy blowhog blows leaves and grass around to eat the insects underneath. It maintains midair buoyancy by using its fins and releasing air through blowholes. This enables it to float effortlessly, even in the breeze. In times of danger, the puffy blowhog can decompress its flotation bladder for a rapid escape from predators. |
The incorrect "electrolyzed" was changed to "electrified". The early script gives a definite location to where the creature's blowholes are.
Withering Blowhog
Early | Final |
---|---|
Withering Blowhog Sus decrepitia Blowhog Family While a close relative of the puffy blowhog, its breath is significantly weaker, but does contain petal-withering ethylene- like plant hormone, causing all flowers that come in contact with its breath to immediately lose their petals. Although its breath has not been studied in detail, analysis of the chemical compounds involved hold great promise for the biotechnology sector. |
Withering Blowhog Sus decrepitia Blowhog family The withering blowhog is a close relative of the puffy blowhog, but its breath is significantly weaker. However, its breath does contain a petal-withering plant hormone that causes flowers to instantly lose their petals. Although its breath has not been studied in detail, analysis of the chemical compounds involved hold great promise for the biotechnology sector. |
The description of the petal-withering hormone as "ethylene-like" does not appear in the final script.
Empress Bulblax
Early | Final |
---|---|
Queen Bulborb Oculus matriarhca grub-dog family Initial observations placed doubt on the capability of the grub-dog family to support a strong ant or bee-like social structure, but recent studies show the family is capable of such complexity, with the egg sack of the largest female grub-dog within a given range swelling to dramatic proportions in response to environmental changes, such as sudden depletion of prey species. These females temporarily take on the role of pack matriarch. Also, upon pack formation it has been observed that nearly all males not involved in species reproduction undergo natural sex changes. The characerstics of such specimens are quite intriguing indeed. |

The characteristics of such specimens are quite intriguing indeed. |
A lot of typos in the early script were fixed. Note that although the assigned name for this creature is still Empress Bulblax in the early script, it's referred to as Queen Bulborb in this description.
Emperor Bulblax
Early | Final |
---|---|
Emperor Bulblax Oculus supremus Grub-dog family The largest member of the grub-dog family, the emperor bulblax is normally found poised burrowed deep into the ground. Such camoflouge allows the creature to surprise smaller creatures as they pass by and prey upon them with its long, adhesive toungue. Its hide is quite thick and angular at the hump, with a rock-like quality. When the rainy season comes, spurring the growth of moss, it is nearly impossible to distinguish the beast's back from any garden variety of stone. |
Emperor Bulblax Oculus supremus Grub-dog family The largest member of the grub- dog family is normally found buried in the ground, with only the stalks of its eyes exposed. This camouflage allows the predator to surprise smaller creatures and use its long, adhesive tongue to capture prey. The thick hide and angular hump give the organism a distinct rocklike quality. During the rainy season, moss grows freely on its hump, making it nearly impossible to distinguish this lethal predator from a stone. |
This description has some pretty bad typos -- "camoflouge"? -- and the most Engrish of any of the early enemy descriptions.

Slight wording and formatting changes here. "Naive" was changed to the more accurate "reclusive"

Just slight rewording here, plus some apostrophes.
Superstrong Stabilizer

---|---|
This device was designed based on the principles of stabilitology. It is able to hold anything firmly in place! With this, not galactic typhoons are no longer to be feared! |
This device was designed based on principles of stabilotomy. It holds anything firmly in place! With this, galactic typhoons are no longer to be feared! |
The made-up word "stabilitology" was changed to "stabilotomy", because...hey, look over there! The first not was also removed.
Space Wave Receiver
Early | Final |
---|---|
There are countless electro- magnetic waves that you cannot see circulating in the area around you. Here, there. Everywhere. This receiver picks up poisonous electromagnetic waves from outerspace. Strange... My parts are synchopating to the rhythm! Doo de doo de doo! |
Invisible electromagnetic waves circulate all around you. Here. There. Everywhere. This receiver picks up dangerous electromagnetic waves from outer space. Strange... My parts are syncopating to the rhythms! Doo-de-doo-de-doo! |
The text was condensed, and syncopating is spelled correctly in the final script.
King of Sweets
Early | Final |
---|---|
Humanoid desire knows no limits. Somethings can never be helped. No research, no matter how supreme, will someday tire of consuming this thing. And yet it contains a mystic flavor born out of the cosmos itself. This legendary desert is said to change its flavor as it is eaten. |

A most interesting change, and more evidence that this script was based on an early version of the game.
