User:Greenpickle - Pikipedia, the Pikmin wiki

From Pikmin

So, as some of you know, I'm going to university: this means I won't be around here much for at least the next few days, maybe a week; I'll see how it's going once I'm on a regular schedule and update this as necessary.

Update: I'll probably continue to watch the recent changes, but only some namespaces, and maybe not every day (using my great new toggler thingy...).

This user is a bureaucrat and admin on this wiki. In addition to the powers of a sysop (see template) this kind of user can also promote other sysops and/or users to be sysops and/or bureaucrats.

This user can take in-game screenshots of both Pikmin games by using a direct capture method.

This user plays the Pikmin games on his Wii.

This user has yet to discover the purpose of userboxes.

Pikmin weights

I've noticed that, though Yellow Pikmin are supposedly lighter than other Pikmin types, they still count as one on the scales and paper bags. I have calculated what their weight should in theory be by analysing how they are thrown compared to other Pikmin, and it turns out (I think) that they weigh 0.77 times that of Red, Blue and White Pikmin. Purple Pikmin's flight paths disobey the laws of mechanics...so I can't find out if my method's accurate.

Also, another thought: shouldn't whites weigh less because they're the smallest? I guess the only explanation is that they're more dense. Poison is dense?
