A set of connected missions starring familiar faces. They unlock as you progress in Story mode.
Some missions have other rules that may require you to collect as many Pikmin as you can or to carry objects to the goal. Take note of your objective and stay focused!

Opening
My name is Olimar.
I'm the proud captain of the S.S. Dolphin!
Or at least, I used to be.
The ship I fly now got totaled on our last expedition.
Thanks to a team of kind Koppaite scientists,
we got safe passage back to Hocotate.
But we weren't safe from our president.
"You imbeciles! How could you leave AN ENTIRE SPACE SHIP behind?!"
"I don't want to see your face around here until you bring it back!"
And that's how Louie and I ended up back on PNF-404...again...
to retrieve the Hocotate Freight ship.
Hello, Pikmin! Did you miss us?
Ending
Thanks to Louie and the Pikmin (mostly the Pikmin),
our ship is in working order again.
It's been a long road...
I'm looking forward to getting home again.
That was the last anyone heard from Captain Olimar.
Whatever became of Olimar and Louie?
Perhaps a crew of intrepid Koppaites will find the answer during their adventure...
Olimar's Assignment
The End.
