“	This room is amazing! Chairs, computers, tables... Walls, so soft I pass through them!	”	– Gerald, in Mission 2

Gerald is one of the main characters from Pikmin 2... Again?. He appears only in The Amazing New Update!!, first appearing in the intro. He is wise, knowing the location of the Unbalanced Onion and Cat Cod's location. Gerald says to Orimario and Looigi that the Unbalanced Onion does exist, but only in the void, which is locked for nobody to use it. But Gerald says only one can break this powerful gate, the Cat Cod, but he explains that they can do only so by giving it the Sacred Sardines. Gerald is a pair of floating eyeballs, this appearance gets even more absurd in the ending, where wings pop behind it. In the ending, Gerald grows a pair of wings and flies away, revealing it was a Peeper, a prototype, unused enemy from Hey! Pikmin.

Gerald also appears through the Missions, appearing in one place of each Mission, he cannot be interacted with except by the Jackfruit, having a unique dialogue when it arrives and when it is hit by the Jackfruit, flying away, he'll say the following things each Mission:

• “Welcome to the backrooms, we got nachos!” – Mission 1
• “This room is amazing! Chairs, computers, tables... Walls, so soft I pass through them!” – Mission 2
• “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...” – Mission 3, the speech goes off-screen
• “This is your first boss rush, good luck. Squortles rule here.” – Mission 4
• “Congratulations! You reached the temple, don't ask how I got here.” – Mission 5, before Jackfruit arrives
• “Hi, how are you going? Got the sacred can of-” – Mission 5, when Jackfruit arrives
• “Well, sliturnip.” – Mission 5, when Jackfruit collides with it
• “Round 2! Good luck, now its lots of eneemies and boss fights.” – Mission 6
• “This is your final quest, White Scarf has the Sacred Sardines still. Time to defeat them!” – Mission 7 before defeating White Scarf
• “That was... Easy? Makes sense, they're a Pikmin.” – Mission 7 after defeating White Scarf

“	Are those eye... flies? This planet is strange.	”	– The ship, upon discovering the Peeper

The Peeper is a small, strange creature appearing in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. They resemble a pair of eyes that have white sclera and black pupils. Two white, transparent wings are attached to the pair of eyes, allowing for the eyebulb to fly. The size of the Peeper is quite small, a little larger than the size of a Pygmy Spectralid, making them one of the smallest enemies to find.

The Peeper can be found flying around idly, or if plants that they're hiding in are shaken. The eyebulb will appear in groups of ten to twenty. They will continue to fly in a small area, occasionally stopping to rest on petals, leaves, or even enemies like Bulborbs and Mamutas. The Peeper is extremely hard to hit, can not be targeted naturally by Pikmin, and can not be locked onto, like the Pygmy Spectralid. If they are killed, they leave very little to be desired in spoils.

Peepers are not worth killing, and serve more as decoration than anything.

In Overlord mode, Peepers appear more frequently.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“The Peeper is an anomaly of the eyebulb family. Despite their appearance, they actually have very microscopic mouths on the bottom of their eyes, which resemble the small proboscis of a butterfly. The Peeper uses this tube to suck up the nectar from flowers, making them great pollinators. They are frequently found around Pygmy Spectralids and are a sign of a healthy ecosystem.”

Louie's notes

“The eyeballs of these things serve as a good substitute for cheese balls when fried and dipped in cheddar powder. Just hope people don't lick off the powder and see an eyeball staring at them.”

President’s notes

“Flying eyeballs with fly wings? I think I saw one of these guys in my dreams once...”

Overlord’s thoughts

“I’ve been seeing a lot more of these guys lately, which is good. I thought they were going extinct when I saw them less back then. Glad to see the Peeper is still... peeping?”
