Trooper Village Stories

**Trooper Village Stories** is a Pikmin plush series created by Peter Tagg, and the main series in the Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe.

The series is set in Trooper Village, a small Pikmin town, and focuses around the Pikmin and Bulborbs that live there. There are three seasons and 30 episodes, with a season finale currently in development.

Trooper Village Stories officially debuted on July 23rd 2015. Since December 2021, Peter has released updated versions of episodes, which have replaced the original ones in the series' canon.

## Story Synopsis

Trooper Village Stories started in the same way the Pikmin series did, with Olimar crash landing on the Pikmin Planet and discovering the Pikmin. After Olimar left, The Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, and Blue Pikmin decided to build a village, which then got governed by Mayor Reginald Bulborb. Noah was then introduced, and become Trooper Village's first major and most prominent threat. Portals were also introduced on the same day of Noah's attack, which would allow anyone to travel to different dimensions.

Later in the series, Kirby Bulborb joined the village to protect the villagers there from the constant evil threats. Underhut was introduced soon afterwards, along with Doc Kermit Frogglegg. Some time later, Cyber Captain Olimar became the second biggest threat to Trooper Village. He had only one goal; to come. Then Cyber Captain Olimar, Noah, Makuta, and Underhut all joined Sgt Frog's Lonely Hearts Club Band, an evil force created by Keroro, Giroro, Tamama and Kululu. The village was also ransacked by Breadbugs. However, they managed to defeat them.

## Behind the scenes

Inspired by the success of the characters Kirby Bulborb and Cyber Captain Olimar, along with encouragement from Jakob Dawson, Peter Tagg returned to making plush videos in 2014 and decided to start work on a plush series of his own. The first of these was The Kirby Bulborb Miniseries, which featured Kirby discussing various topics (such as the new year and reading comments sent to him). For his next series, Peter created over a thousand episode ideas for his plush series, many of which were unused. After deciding to call his new series Trooper Village Stories, Peter narrowed the list down to 161 episodes, and later narrowed it down further to 30 episodes.

For Trooper Village Stories, Peter created the characters Blue, Yellow, and Red. He also planned to bring back some of his older characters, including ones that didn't appear in the Classic Kirbys or unreleased Steve movies. Trooper Village Stories was officially announced by Peter on July 5th 2015, alongside the cancelled series Star Trek: The Pikmin Capers. He created two pilot episodes of Trooper Village Stories, the first in December 2014, and the second in July 2015. Peter then released the first 7 episodes in 2015, with the remaining episodes apart from the season finale being released from 2016 to 2018. A major arc in the first season is The Noah Arc, which featured three episodes of Season 1 and one episode of Season 2 all focusing on the character Noah, and also featured Twig, Thorn, and Egde. Noah went on to become a reoccurring character in the second and third seasons.
