I did some messy documentation of this, so it may not be the most neat.

To find info about Pikmin I used a Hex editor (I used notepad++ Hex Editor, but any other free one should suffice)


Enemy Stats:[edit]

dataDir\archives\tekipara.arc
I used dataDir\archives\tekipara.dir to find what each enemy entry was. (since the internal names were spelled out in it)

Each enemy entry is separated by a bunch of "CC CC CC CC" repeating over and over

Health Offsets for each enemy:


  • 0x74 - Beetle
  • 0x1d8 - Mini Bulbear
  • 0x338 - Mini Bulborb
  • 0x498 - Breadbug
  • 0x618 - Smoky Progg
  • 0x778 - Yellow Wolly Wog
  • 0x8f8 - Wolly Wog
  • 0xa68 - Fire Geyser
  • 0xbc8 - Breadbug Hole
  • 0xce8 - Rock Generator (unused)
  • 0xe08 - Rocks
  • 0xf54 - Female Sheargrub
  • 0x10b4 - Male Sheargrub
  • 0x1214 - Shearwig
  • 0x139c - Puffstool
  • 0x1520 - Puffy Blowhog
  • 0x16a0 - Mamuta
  • 0x17f8 - ???
  • 0x1938 - Water Dumple
  • 0x1a98 - Snitchbug
  • 0x1c14 - Tad Pole
  • 0x1d74 - Pellet Posy
  • 0x1ed4 - Pearl
  • 0x2014 - Honey Wisp
  • 0x2194 - Rocpe? Pearl Clam with Part
  • 0x22d8 - Shell (no pearl) (game probably spawns this after pearl clam dies)
  • 0x2434 - Spotty Bulbear
  • 0x2590 - Red Bulborb HP
  • 0x26f4 - Progg Egg HP?
  • 0x2854 - Fiery Blowhog HP
  • 0x28e8 - ???
  • 0x29b4 - Smoky Progg


Object generation files[edit]

dataDir\stages\<STAGE ID>\day#.gen

There is a plant.gen, init.gen, default.gen file in each <stage> folder

Plant.gen is obviously plant placements

init.gen is the enemies that spawn when you FIRST load the stage (so modding it and revisting that modded stage doesn't do anything) I personally just use a Day 2 file which an AR code to unlock all stages to test.

default.gen seems to have placements of immobile objects (geysers, candypop buds, geysers)

The way I found enemies was that each enemy spawn had "iket" which was the internal name "teki" but reserved once compiled in the middle of the entry.
