NOTES: Developed by Nintendo EPD Production Group No.10's Pikmin team. Eighting co-developed most aspects of the game alongside the core Pikmin team. Assisted by Mario Club, Planeta, and other subcontractors. EPD Director and Lead Programmer Yuji Kando, admits to this game being the culmination of many different prototypes he worked on after Pikmin 3. Kando's specific role for this game included taking charge of the general game design and level design, the base programming of the game system, and deciding on the game's direction. Miyamoto stated that the goals was to convince players that Pikmin weren't just fantasy characters, but rather creatures that could be among us in the real world. Kando revealed that in designing the treasures, they wanted parents and children to have conversations about the significance of some of the collectible items. Between public acknowledgement of the game and patents from lead developer Yuki Kando, development from prototype to production spanned over 8 years. Personnel: 30+ Developers from Nintendo Co., Ltd.
