Notepad++

Notepad++ is a free and open source Notepad replacement that's formatted for code editing, making it preferable over standard Notepad.

A lot of files in Pikmin 2's root happen to be .txt files, and the types of commonly edited .txt files in Pikmin 2 include:

  • Entity parameters
  • Lighting parameters
  • Camera parameters
  • Pelletlists
  • Cave music configuration
  • Bgm/StreamList (Music volume)
  • stages.txt (Areas, challenge mode, and vs)
  • And many more

Notepad++ is ideal for parameter editing, while stuff like caves/unit sets and area layouts are better off being edited with different community tools. (though there may be an instance where you'll have to edit manually)
