Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle

Bingo Battle has 12 selectable maps all with 3 layouts each, totaling in 36 unique stages. The collectables featured on a given layout's bingo card will always be the same with the positions shuffled. Each layout is configured with a .txt within the files located in CMCmn\system\vs_set\vsset_vs##_x.szs


The Anatomy of the vs_set .txt[edit]

The entries of interest are as follows, using vsset_vs01_a.szs as an example: 

13 # TimeLimit
14 {
15 	10 0 
16 }

Presumably the first number is the time it takes for the overtime mode to begin. Untested to see if changing this works, as it is set to 10 in every vsset 


35 # PikminValueSetting
36 {
37 	5 -1 -1 
38 }

This determines the starting pikmin colour (first number) and secondary pikmin colour (last number) using the pikmin identifier values. The secondary number being set to -1 means this stage has no secondary pikmin. It is currently unknown what happens if the primary number is set to -1. Also unknown is the purpose for the middle number, every vsset file has it set to -1.

51 
52 			}

The numbers on line 50 determine what icons appear on the bingo cards. The 4 4 at the begining and all of the 0s are separators of sort, the numbers inbetween are the IDs of enemy and fruit entities that will populate the bingo card. There are always 16 IDs defined.

Collectables Without Assigned Bingo Card IDs[edit]

The following collectables are not featured in bingo battle, thus have no bingo card ID:

Enemies (non boss):

  • Arachnode (didn't test, couldn't spawn)
  • Arctic Cannon Larva
  • Joustmite
  • Scornet (will disappear when killed, seemingly uncollectable)
  • Sputtlefish

Fruits:

  • Astringent Clump
  • Blonde Impostor
  • Crimson Banquet
  • Juicy Gaggle
  • Lesser Mock Bottom
  • Mock Bottom
  • Pocked Airhead
  • Scaly Custard
  • Searing Acidshock
  • Seed Hive
  • Tremendous Sniffer


Bingo Card Icons[edit]

All of the bingo card Icons are stored in CMCmn\lyt\bingobattle.szs along side all of the mode's UI. I would assume swapping out an icon such as shaggy for an un used enemy or fruit would be trivial, but I have no idea how to assign an actual enemy to that number that would function

Generator Files[edit]

Each stage layout has its own generator file. It is possible to change the onion locations between layouts of a given map, though the base game does not do this.

Oddities[edit]

  • Extra enemys (and presumably fruits) can be generated into a stage that don't have their ID assigned to the card. They will act as expected, produce sprouts but not contribute to the completion of the card.
  • If the Cupid's Grenade is on the bingo card, you don't necessarily have to put them in the generator file as they will eventually spawn in (provided the vsitem spawner isn't removed from the generator). If done as described, they will first show up as "?" until spawned into the game (sometimes it isn't so instant). They will still act as they do normally giving you an item, as well as checking an entry off the card.
  • There are no Layouts where every collectible is an enemy, nor every collectible is a fruit
  • A used feature of the bingo card is a collectable can be on the card either more than, equal to or less than is generated. Theoretical ways this can be pushed to extremes the base game doesn't:
    • Every entry on the card has the same ID. The closest the base game comes to this is in vs_08_c where each marble has 4 entries on the card.
    • More entries for a given ID on each card than are generated, eg. 1 bulborb generated with 2 card entries meaning even the player that collects it will have a random lockout, but punish the other player with 2 lockouts.
  • Red pikmin are featured in 28/36 stage layouts
  • Purple and White pikmin are seen very few times in Bingo Battle and only as secondary pikmin. Unlike other types, they cannot create sprouts of their colour. it is unknown currently what happens if they are set to the primary pikmin
  • Wings and rocks are never featured in the same layout together, in fact wings are only ever paired with reds as the secondary colour.
  • The following enemies are only featured in Bingo Battle once: Puffy Blowhog, Water Dumple, Toady Bloyster, Flighty Joustmite, Peckish Aristocrab, Waddlepus, Bug-Eyed Crawmad
  • The Dawn Pustules are the only collectable not featured in the base game bingo battle with an assigned ID.
