Ready to explore!

Let's chat!

Bye for now.

You'll be pleased to learn that I installed a few new apps onto your Tablet.

I'm sure you'll find them more than useful when you're out in the field, so check them out when you have a spare minute.

Now that we have that sorted out, are you ready to get out there and explore?

The captain's quite excited to talk to you about Oatchi's growth spurt. You should go see what she has to say.

And Russ had something to discuss with you as well.

Feel free to put off your departure until after you have a chance to speak with them both.

I'm picking up some signals that may be coming from other castaways in the most recently discovered area.

There could be a stranded Rescue Officer out there... We're counting on you to rescue them. Preferably very soon.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm detecting even more signals in that recently discovered area.

That may be where Captain Olimar and our missing Rescue Officers are.

Now that the Rescue Corps is properly reassembled, we can finally put our minds and efforts toward our main mission.

Despite the delays, I'm confident our search for Captain Olimar will be nothing if not successful!

We've picked up a signal from the new area. It's most likely coming from that
Koppaite veterinarian, Nelle.

Let's get her back here quickly so she can give Oatchi a full examination.

I took a closer look at that SOS signal and saw that the rest of the castaways are located in the area we just uncovered.

Nelle the veterinarian should be among them... We're getting close!

We're all set over here! The S.S. Beagle can take off whenever you're ready.

If you're not sure what you need to do next, you can always check your missions for some ideas.

I look forward to the day when the Rescue
Corps is reunited and we can finally focus on rescuing Captain Olimar!

All systems are go! The S.S. Beagle is ready for takeoff!

We'll need some kind of medicine to cure the leaflings, right? Thankfully, Yonny is experienced with these sorts of things.

We can do this! Let's collect more treasure and get the S.S. Shepherd fully charged.

The S.S. Beagle is prepared for launch.
All we need now is a destination.

Do you know where you're going next?
OK! Time to rescue Captain Olimar!

The S.S. Beagle is prepared for launch.
All we need now is a destination.

They don't call us the Rescue Corps for nothing. We'll find a way to rescue everyone and make it home together!

I hope we rescue that veterinarian, Nelle, soon. I'm starting to get antsy...

We're going to cure Oatchi and return home together. I know we will!

The S.S. Beagle is prepped and ready.
Here's hoping we find Louie soon.

We need to find that giant dog... Oatchi is counting on us.

So there's a giant dog several times bigger than Oatchi, huh? I wonder if Louie could really handle something like that.

Be sure to investigate thoroughly now!
Life's too short for regrets.

If you really want to thoroughly explore an area, I recommend using the Treasure
Gauge...and Oatchi's nose!

Whenever you consider your mission complete and want to go home, just talk to our pilot, Bernard.

I believe Yonny is going to give us something of a primer about the
Lumiknoll!

Glow sap is the key medicinal element needed to create a cure for the leaflings.

Just talk to Yonny, and he'll get you all set up for a night expedition!

Another Dandori Battle with that leafling, huh?

I believe you can win it this time!

I think winning a Dandori Battle is all about
Oatchi's carrying power and the number of
Pikmin at your disposal.

Remember that, and you're sure to win, Rescue Officer!

Distracting or sabotaging your opponent to prevent them from getting points is a totally valid strategy in Dandori Battles.

Just saying. Now, good luck out there,
Rescue Officer! You got this!

Come on! We need to hurry up and rescue Nelle! She's waiting for us in the Primordial Thicket.

If we can track Louie's scent, we'll be that much closer to finding that giant dog.

Give Oatchi a chance to sniff around a bit once you're in the Primordial Thicket.

If we're going to save Oatchi, we need to get a cell sample from that giant dog as soon as possible.

All our hopes lie with you now,
Rescue Officer! Good luck.

We can't forget about the leaflings now.
They're castaways too, just like we were.

I'm just so relieved that you got my
SOS signal in time.

I was in a panic as I tried to escape the spaceship. If that signal didn't work...
I shudder to even think about it!

When it comes to rescuing, you'd be lost without your Tablet. Press + to open it up and access lots of helpful information.

You can check the Radar Map when you're actually lost or look at the Missions tab to review your immediate objectives.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
It has a lot more features to check out.

Are Pikmin plants, or are they animals?
What do you think about it?

I had no idea that anyone else had received Captain Olimar's SOS signal and decided to come to this planet.

But it doesn't matter who's stranded or why. It's our job to get them home safe.

I bet the stuff that Russ cooks up in the Lab is really useful to have when you're out exploring in the field.

Just keep those raw materials coming, and he'll keep developing all kinds of gear.

The captain has a special certification in
Rescue Pup training.

She's also one of the few members of the
Rescue Corps with the highest certificate ranking. I mean, she's kind of...incredible.

You never know what you'll learn when you peruse your Tablet or talk to someone new around here.

Apparently we'll need a special substance collected from Lumiknolls to make a medicine that can cure the leaflings.

You can only encounter Lumiknolls during night expeditions, so I suggest you talk to Yonny to hear more about it.

Believe it or not, you can always count on Dingo. If you're ever in a tough spot, he'll show up to save you...probably.

Yonny may be a laid-back kind of guy, but he's incredibly accomplished in the medical field.

Once you become a leafling, it seems like the only thing you think about is the art of Dandori.

Maybe they're being controlled to think and to act that way. Perhaps against their will!

I hope we're able to rescue Captain Olimar soon. His family must be so worried...

He may not act the part, but Bernard is actually a veteran pilot.

I heard that at the intergalactic travel company where he used to work, he piloted a 20,000-hour-long flight. That's...long.

I really hope we're able to take Oatchi home with us. I get choked up at the thought of leaving him behind.

Oatchi saved my life. It feels like it's my responsibility to help save his!

There are 43 individuals on this planet, not counting Olimar.

That's...a lot. I just hope we can rescue them all. I mean, I'm sure that we can!

I was surprised to learn that Olimar is quite reticent in person, weren't you?

Though I must admit, he does have a certain air of gravitas about him.

I heard that Dobbs became a treasure hunter so he could help solve the poverty crisis back on his home planet.

What a generous and noble pursuit!
I never expected someone so intimidating to be so kind.

From what I can tell, Yorke really looks up to Dobbs.

Somehow he always finds a way to bring him up in conversation.

Giyans, Ohrians, Hocotatians, and Koppaites...

How funny that there are so many planets represented here on this tiny, little nondescript ball of dirt floating in space.

So what exactly is Louie's end game here?
I don't really get it...

Nelle comes across as quite aloof, doesn't she?

She doesn't seem to pal around much with her crew either. You know what? I can respect a healthy work-life balance.

Koppaites are notoriously poor planners, but you can only judge something like that on an individual basis.

Dobbs, for example, is pretty laid-back, while Yorke tends to plan ahead.

Nelle, on the other hand, can be...pretty intense. Especially when the topic turns to food.

I recently asked Nelle about her experiences with that giant dog creature.

Apparently, when she was first captured, it was quite playful. She said she didn't feel like she was in any danger at all.

That made me wonder if it was acting more aggressive and violent because it was being controlled by Louie.

There must be something about this planet that pulls ships in or causes machinery to malfunction.

But wait. Come to think of it...why didn't your ship crash, Rescue Officer?

If you press Y while on the Area Select screen, you can see your current progress for every surface area and every cave.

Be sure to keep an eye on your Status
Reports when out in the field!

Ready for action?

Let me know when you're ready to explore.
I'll be right here waiting for you!

Oh! Hey there, Oatchi! What's new?

Hey, Oatchi, my little pup buddy. Getting along with Rescue Officer OK?

Which area would you like to explore?

Whenever you're ready, I'm ready!
So come find me.

If you ever feel stuck, try talking to the captain. She always knows what to do.

There's an SOS signal coming from this area!
I hope we find one of our Rescue Officers.

There's an SOS signal coming from here too.
Do you think it could be a Rescue Officer?

It looks like there might be a missing
Rescue Officer here! We need to get out there and find them.

We've confirmed another SOS signal in this area. One of our missing Rescue Officers may be waiting for us here.

According to the radar, there are several
SOS signals in this new area.

There's a significant chance that
Captain Olimar is here! Keep an eye out for him as you explore!

For now, we need to focus our search efforts on finding the veterinarian Nelle. It'd be nice if she were in this area, but...

Nelle must be here this time! We've got to rescue her quickly so she can check poor
Oatchi's tail!

Keep collecting sparklium to repair the radar.
Then we'll be able to receive SOS signals from even farther away.

We don't have nearly enough sparklium yet.
Try to collect more treasure.

You're bound to find more treasure if you explore every part of this area.

There are no more SOS signals in this area.
We must have found all the castaways here!

I'm not receiving any more SOS signals from castaways. Looks like we've already found everyone in this area!

Uh-oh. Our pilot, Bernard, might be a leafling now. Please find and rescue him.

Seems like there may be leaflings in the area.

I don't think there's any more treasure here.
Why don't we head to another area to collect more sparklium?

We still need more sparklium to repair the S.S. Shepherd's radar.

According to the latest data for this area, all the treasure has been collected.
Time for us to move on.

Still can't find our pilot, Bernard, after all this searching, huh? He must be in another area.

I wonder where that leafling went. Let's go search someplace else.

Oh, you're out of medicine. It might be time to go out for more glow sap.

Do you think that leafling you rescued could be our pilot? I hope we can cure them soon and find out.

According to the Voyage Log entry Bernard found, Captain Olimar should be in this area!

Shouldn't you be looking for Captain Olimar?
If you have other things to do, please finish them up quickly.

This area doesn't seem to match the coordinates in Captain Olimar's log.

We don't have any of the cure stocked up at the moment, so it's probably a good time for a night expedition.

That leafling is probably Captain Olimar. We should try to cure them as soon as we can.

The presumed Koppaite castaway was carried off! They should be somewhere in this area.

Let's focus our search in this area! I think our
Koppaite friend may be nearby.

Nelle is in this area! Let's hurry and rescue her so she can take a look at Oatchi.

If we search for Louie, we're likely to find clues about the giant dog too!

The veterinarian Nelle could be the source of the SOS signal we got from the new area.

Based on what Olimar said, there haven't been any Koppaites sighted here.

Is something about this area troubling you?
If you have anything to finish up here, go ahead and take care of it.

According to the Koppaite we rescued, we'll find two more in another area.

Nelle is somewhere in an area with rampant primordial forest growth!

I'm really concerned about Nelle...

You won't find Louie in this area.

To be honest, we don't think this is where
Louie fled to.

According to habitat data for this area, there should be a lot of Pikmin here.

We should be able to collect a lot of
Pikmin in this area.

According to the Voyage Log, there seem to be some different varieties of Pikmin here.

We could encounter a variety of Pikmin we haven't seen before in this area.

There seems to be at least one more good base location in this area.

According to the radar, this area might still have an undiscovered base.

Hey, there's still an SOS signal here.
Let's hurry up and find whoever sent it!

Somewhere around here, there's a castaway still in need of our help! This is a job for the
Rescue Corps!

It seems like there might be a type of Onion here that we haven't found yet.

There are so many varieties of Onions. Looks like there's still another one here somewhere.

Huh?! There's still some treasure to be found here. We wouldn't want to leave any behind!

It might be worth searching some more to make sure we didn't miss any treasure.

This area has been completely investigated!

You've explored 100 percent of this area!
Great work! I'm not getting any more readings from here.

Huh?! There's someone there!

Look! It's one of those leafy individuals!
They look kinda different from the last one though...

Is that one of the castaways with leaves growing out of their head?!

Could that be one of those leaflings that
Dingo was talking about?!

Is that one of the castaways with leaves growing out of their head?!

Oh my... They fainted. I wonder what caused that?

Well, I guess this is our chance to get them outta here!

Don't get down on yourself. I'm sure it will go better next time!

Look! It's one of those leafy individuals!
They look kinda different from the last one though...

Look! It's one of those leafy individuals!
They look kinda different from the last one though...

Is that one of the castaways with leaves growing out of their head?!

Could that be one of those leaflings that
Dingo was talking about?!

Look! It's a leafling!

Hey, there's another one!

These leaflings... They really are all over the place, huh?

They escaped into that hole. Hurry!
We can't lose them now!

Look! It's a leafling!

Hey, there's another one!

These leaflings... They really are all over the place, huh?

They're completely consumed by the art of Dandori. We've got to free them.

You did it! Come on, let's get the castaway out of here, Rescue Officer!

Looks like they passed out. This is our chance to rescue them!

Those were some incredible Dandori skills!
Alright, let's get them outta here!

Huh?! There's someone there!

Red alert! I see something...or someone!

And who is that next to them? It doesn't look like any of our Rescue Officers...

Red alert! I see something...or someone!

And look! There's another one of those beings with leaves growing out of their head! Is that a Rescue Pup with them?

Red alert! We have another castaway!

And next to them... Could that be the leafling that attacked Dingo?

Red alert! We have another castaway!
And there's a leafling too!

It may be the leafling that attacked
Dingo. Be careful, now!

What IS this place?

I guess we can figure that out later.
For now, let's focus on finding that castaway...

I see them! Over there!

They just...left? Who in space and time
WAS that?

Well, whoever they are, they weren't lying.
Your Dandori talents were on full display!
Now let's get this castaway out of here.

What? It's that leafy figure again!
And they have another castaway!

There they are! And it looks like they're trying to take another castaway!

We've got to catch them! We can't let this keep happening to the survivors out here.

Aaah! It's that leafling!

Be careful! That could be the one who attacked Dingo!

It's that leafling again!

And the figure lying down over there might just be our pilot!

Hmm... Off they go again.

Thankfully we recovered the castaway safe and sound. Impressive victory!

It's that leafling again, isn't it?

Huh. They're hiding in a bunker... Could that mean that after all this time...

The leafling is Captain Olimar?!

Look! That dog!

We did it! We finally did it!

No way! Did he just say "Olimar"?!

Our suspicions were correct! We located
Captain Olimar!

Let's bring him to the Rescue Command
Post and get him back to his old self.

Huh?! It's gone! It ran away!

So it goes. Right now our top priority is rescuing Olimar.

Time to clear out of that cave already.
Rescue Officer, you've got this.

It's been a long road to get here...

And we're not done yet. Let's get Olimar to the S.S. Beagle!

Their Dandori skills are unbelievable.
I doubt there's anyone in this galaxy who could beat them...

Except you! I know you have what it takes.
You can't give up now!

Flex those Dandori muscles as you collect the items! Show them how it's done!

Hmm... Looks like you can get extra points if you collect one of those Bonus Finds!

Try to figure out what qualifies as a Bonus
Find, and make transporting those your top priority!

So inside those Mystery Capsules are items useful for developing your
Dandori practice? That's helpful!

Better take advantage of those items while you're collecting treasure!

There they are! Louie and Moss!

Argh! He ran into that cave!

Huh? Is this for real? Louie, wait!

Ugh. We didn't make it in time.

Wha?! Why didn't they become a leafling?
What's going on here?!

He's not even listening...

Louie! He's—

I still don't get it. Why didn't they become a leafling?

There's Louie! Phew, Nelle appears unharmed.

Because she's been drinking glow sap, right? Remember what the doctor said...

Louie's run off somewhere...

Never mind that—we need to rescue Nelle.

You can do that? Huh!

OK, head back up. You can leave Moss to Olimar.

Amazing... I wonder if she'll actually make it all the way back to you.

Alright! We better recover Nelle now.
Rescue Officer, Oatchi—you got this!

His Dandori skills are pretty advanced...
I don't think the usual plan of attack will work against this guy.

Louie is as much of a Dandori master as Olimar.

Which means you can beat him! Don't even think about giving up now.

He mostly just seems annoyed.

His Dandori abilities are...terrifying.

Louie was pretty good down there...

But I believe you can win, so don't give up.
Give it your all...for Oatchi!

You can win this! I believe in you, Rescue Officer!

Wait! Where'd they go now? And more importantly, who ARE they? Hmm...

But wow! Dingo, what a win! Not to mention you saved the castaway too!

Get back to the surface and lead them to safety, Rescue Officer!

And they're gone again...

But seriously, Dingo! When the going gets tough, you really get going!

Now we need to take care of that leafling.
Your turn, Rescue Officer!

Louie may have gotten away, but you were amazing, Dingo! I wouldn't expect any less.

All that's left to do is rescue the Koppaite castaway. Go ahead, Rescue Officer!

Huh? What's going on here? The Pikmin aren't following for some reason...

Guess you two are on your own. Good luck,
Rescue Officer. You too, Oatchi.

So inside those Mystery Capsules are items useful for developing your
Dandori practice? That's helpful!

Better take advantage of those items while you're collecting treasure!

We can't afford to lose!

I'll put my best foot forward!

I'm no Dandori novice, you know!

I've got to stick with it!

I need to keep extending my lead!

A Dandori masterpiece!

I'm doing splendidly!

Yeah! Here we go now!

Check this out!

Yeah! Here we go now!

That's the way! Make it tough!

Wonderful! More Pikmin!

So many Dandori options!

Wonderful! More Pikmin!

This bodes well!

So many Dandori options!

Transport as much as you can!

I've got to move, move, move!

My Dandori skills are powered up!

Look! You collected a Bonus Find!

I got a Bonus Find!

Transport that Golden Sniffer!

Transporting the Golden Sniffer!

I did it! I got the Golden Sniffer!

Now you can turn the tides!

Now you can turn the tides!

Now you can turn the tides!

Time to sneak in for the win!

Time to sneak in for the win!

Time to sneak in for the win!

Careful around that Sneak Bomb!

Watch out for that Sneak Bomb!

Careful around that Sneak Bomb!

Watch out for that Sneak Bomb!

Careful around that Sneak Bomb!

Watch out for that Sneak Bomb!

Aaah! My points! My points!!!

Aaah! My points! My points!!!

Aaah! My points! My points!!!

I need to get that Dandorium!

I need to get that Dandorium!

I need to get that Dandorium!

Goodness! You alright?

Urgh...

Poor Oatchi...

Look at all those Pikmin!

Alright! More Pikmin!

Amazing! Look at all those Pikmin!

Now we're even stronger!

N-no... The Pikmin...

N-no... The Pikmin...

Oh, not the Pikmin...

Thank goodness we were able to make the repairs.

I'd been roughing it for long enough!
And there's something to be said for finally having a properly prepared meal.

I counted our stock three times, but I can do it again...

Of course, Captain.

First, press + to open the Tablet, then tap B to open the Tablet Menu.

From there, navigate down to the
Rescue Journal app and open it up.

If you want to be able to access the app immediately in the future, press − to assign it to a shortcut button.

Just like the captain...when she remembers how to access it.

Captain, I've noticed something while observing the Pikmin...

If you leave them unplucked, the sprouts eventually bloom into flowers.

So, do you think this new information could help you get over your fear of Pikmin?

I just remembered. Wasn't Russ the one who developed our Tablets?

We've all learned a lot today. Mostly that
Russ really...really loves his mother.

You're doing great out there! Now we only have 3 Rescue Officers left to find.

That's nice, but I'm less worried about the suits than I am the officers inside them.

Now that our ranger has been found safe and sound, the number of missing
Rescue Officers is down to 2.

Either way, we've got to rescue him ASAP!

The only officer still at large is our pilot, Bernard.

Daytime exploration, night expeditions...
We need to pull out all the stops.

Except, apparently, a stop that includes a good night's sleep.

I suppose there is such a thing as being
TOO confident.

Nighttime expeditions are very dangerous.
Please be even more cautious than usual.

All that helpful advice is for the sake of
Rescue Officer, I'm sure.

I'm so relieved that the medicine actually cured the leafling!

Huh. But didn't he give you some medicine that time you were having trouble sleeping?

I wonder what was in that medicine...

Bernard! I'm so happy you're alright!

Things got back to normal a little too quickly, I think.

Captain Olimar must be somewhere inside that structure...

We'll be here the whole time to help in whatever way we can!

I can't believe it... That leafling is really
Captain Olimar?!

The dog, the locked shelter... It all lines up with what's in the Voyage Log...

But to rescue that leafling, we're going to need a true Dandori master.

That could take a while... We'd like to actually cure the guy eventually.

Captain Olimar isn't the only castaway out there in need of rescue.

You, uh, may be getting ahead of yourself there, Captain...

You know, Captain, I've always wondered... do all your memories involve Rescue Pups?

Huh. Hold on... Isn't that still a memory of a
Rescue Pup?

Captain, what do you like to do on your days off? Do you have hobbies or anything like that?

Sounds like your hobby is...dogs.

Huh? Is everything alright, Captain?

Well, I know there are more ways to help others, besides rescuing them.

And if you really do feel like we need to go beyond this, to truly do more...I'll be right behind you, Captain!

Now I REALLY wish I could turn back time.

How do they work? Great question. Let's see, how do I explain it...

Basically, your recorded voice is turned into a signal and transmitted from an antenna, then another antenna picks it up.

That signal is also called an RF, or radio frequency. Then you've got your amplitude and phase, plus your electrical fields...

Does that make any sense?

Hmm. I'm not quite sure you do.

You know, I haven't been sleeping too well lately. I think I'm going to turn in early...

I think I've just been so on edge since the start of this mission. Even at night I feel like I always need to be ready.

...So you totally get it.

It almost sounds like as long as you have enough raw materials, you don't need to sleep or eat.

Hmm... If Russ moved here permanently, we could finally get rid of that cluttered lab and turn it into a break room.

Now that we have Dingo back, our rescue operations should go a lot smoother.

And, uh, when were you thinking of returning to the field yourself, Dingo?

Are you sure the captain's not going too easy on you, Dingo?

Bernard, I've always wanted to ask you something... Why do you talk like THIS?

Know what? Never mind.

I guess I'm just worried if I listen to you for too long, I'LL start talking like that TOO.

Oh NO!

It seems like all of a sudden we have so many more rescues to complete. At this rate, we may never be going home.

And then, once Oatchi is cured, we'll all fly home together.

Dingo! Don't be rude!

That's a nice sentiment, but if Dingo lacks one thing...it's follow-through.

Great work today!

It's a shame we couldn't track down any of our missing Rescue Officers...

That is where we found you, Captain.
Tomorrow let's focus on exploring and seeking out more caves.

Anyhow... Now that you're back, Russ, can you tell us if you came across any rocks like this before we found you?

What a spectacular update, Russ! I knew bringing along a material scientist would be key to our success.

Starting tomorrow, I'm expecting our rescue operations to go even more smoothly than usual now that you're here.

Speaking of which, we've also discovered a few castaways besides our own Rescue
Officers and Captain Olimar.

There may be more. What should we do about them, Captain?

Copy that, Captain!

Another task for the to-do list...

I'm still shocked that Captain Olimar isn't the only castaway on this planet.

And as the Rescue Corps, now it's our duty to rescue every last one of them!

Copy that, Captain!

My list of job duties just keeps getting longer and longer...

Anyhow... Now that you're back, Russ, can you tell us if you came across any rocks like this before we found you?

What a spectacular update, Russ! I knew bringing along a material scientist would be key to our success.

Starting tomorrow, I'm expecting our rescue operations to go even more smoothly than usual now that you're here.

Well, Captain, we did it. We finally found our ranger, Dingo!

Oh! Before you hit the hay, please be sure to review all the details related to our rescue mission so you're fully prepared!

Yonny's back, Captain! Seems like we're making progress.

Um... The thing is... After the forced-sleep mode was lifted, he kind of went right back to sleep.

I think he'd been examining a plant that only appears at night, so he was pretty sleep-deprived.

Huh? That's strange... I put a bottle right here. Where did it—

Dingo! You didn't drink that liquid that was sitting right here, did you? Did you?!

Well...that was the medicinal ingredient that Yonny was using in his experiments.

Are you alright?! Maybe you should go lie down too, Dingo...

The castaway we rescued today... Were those leaves growing out of their head?

Maybe we'll get some more information after they're examined by our doctor...

Should we discuss the castaway with leaves growing out of their head?

This has to be what Dingo was talking about when he told us about the leaflings.

Unfortunately, I believe he's already fast asleep. His nose was in what looked like a pretty dense book all day long.

To recap, Captain—today we retrieved our ranger, Dingo, and our doctor, Yonny.

Um... The thing is... After the forced-sleep mode was lifted, he kind of went right back to sleep.

I think he'd been examining a plant that only appears at night, so he was pretty sleep-deprived.

Huh? That's strange... I put a bottle right here. Where did it—

Dingo! You didn't drink that liquid that was sitting right here, did you? Did you?!

Well...that was the medicinal ingredient that Yonny was using in his experiments.

Are you alright?! Maybe you should go lie down too, Dingo...

Welp, Dingo's down for the count. I guess this conversation will have to wait until tomorrow...when everyone's conscious.

Well, Captain, we did it. We finally found our ranger, Dingo!

Oh! Before you hit the hay, please be sure to review all the details related to our rescue mission so you're fully prepared!

Right now they're sleeping in the back, but their condition remains unchanged.

Don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on them.

Yonny's back, Captain! Seems like we're making progress.

But we have another problem. The castaway we found with leaves growing out of their head.

They have to be one of those leaflings that
Dingo was talking about.

Um... The thing is... After the forced-sleep mode was lifted, he kind of went right back to sleep.

At last, we finally rescued Captain Olimar!
Or rather, a leafling that could be Olimar!

At last, we finally rescued Captain Olimar!
Or rather, a leafling that could be Olimar!

Why won't Louie cooperate with us?

Interesting... So he must be mimicking you—but not in a good way.

Right, but he's not that great either...

Louie's Dandori skills are quite impressive.
He must have been one of the top employees at your company.

By the way, Rescue Officer...

If you press − and open Shortcut Settings, you can assign different functions to
up, left, down, right and L stick.

If you press − twice and open Shortcut
Settings, you can assign different functions to stick!

Of course. And then you could reference it whenever you need some quick advice!

You can even assign actions like Disband or select items at the push of a button.

Olimar, you told us you haven't seen any
Koppaites on this planet. Is that right?

Tomorrow, let's focus our search efforts on an unexplored area!

That's right. Her colleague Dobbs says he saw her being carried off by a mysterious giant dog.

Isn't our top priority finding Nelle?

I disagree entirely! I believe they could be a useful reference. Every little bit of information helps on this planet.

Um, heh heh. I didn't want to hear stories about freight management, Olimar. I want to hear about your time as a castaway!

Hold on now. Creatures are more active at night. We certainly don't want our
Rescue Officer to suffer any injuries.

I suppose he has a point... Just please be careful, Rescue Officer.

Oatchi is a rare breed of dog. Do you happen to know where he was born?

So then the short answer is...no.

Indeed. Who made them...and for what possible purpose?

Interesting theory...though likely incorrect.

Is something the matter, boss?

Makes sense. But then shouldn't we and, uh, you...be friends with all the creatures of the universe as well?

What kind of place is Koppai?
I've always wondered...

I'm pretty sure she stopped listening at the mention of "food."

The castaways on this planet come from all walks of life. We have academics, business professionals, tourists...

And they've come from so many different planets. It's an interesting mash-up, that's for sure.

That might be going a bit too far.

Captain! What is it? What's wrong?!

Uh, Captain? I'm not seeing any Pikmin...

Of course. I totally believe you, boss.

Yes, of course! We'll be talking about this all night...

Captain Olimar is from Hocotate, isn't he?

It's always been a dream of mine to one day eat a genuine Hocotate golden
Pikpik Carrot.

But they're so expensive. I haven't had the right occasion to justify it.

She took all those beautiful, expensive carrots and made...juice?!

Does that even count as cooking?

Oh, I hope so! There's a lot that can't be captured in text alone.

Experiments? What kind of experiments?

Captain, I believe that giant dog thing has been living alone all this time...

I wonder if it ever got lonely, hiding out in its cave...deep within the forest...

Based on what I know about Louie,
I find that hard to believe.

Um... What are you up to, Yonny?

Hmm. I suppose that makes sense.

Out of curiosity, exactly what kind of research are you conducting?

Ah, OK. Wait! Did you say "breeding program"? Put an end to that right away!

And what did they say again? "Those who do not embrace Dandori cannot survive this planet." That's a bit bleak.

So you're afraid of Pikmin and animals, but you get excited about ghosts?

No, not a dolly, Captain. A DOLLIE.
A "Discovered Object Lacking Logical and Intelligent Explanation."

Hey, Dingo... Isn't it about time you got back out there and helped us search for the missing castaways?

I suppose I hadn't considered it that way.

We lost that Dandori Battle today...

Oh yeah!

I bet all sorts of Dandori practices are a part of a captain's regular routine.

Sadly, I don't think those examples can be applied to a Dandori Battle...

That leafling is quite formidable. I wish we had some sort of trick or tip to help us...

Excellent! I'd love to hear it!

But if we could do that, we wouldn't need extra-special tips to begin with.

Shucks...I dunno. I guess I've just had a lot of odd jobs over the years.

To pay my way through college, I cleaned the colony's outer walls and worked nights doing ship construction.

I even had a gig collecting space junk at one point. Honestly, there's not much I haven't done.

Nah. Those jobs were all pretty easy compared to this one!

It is the main ingredient in Ultra-Spicy
Spray, after all. Want to try a lick?

Guess it's pretty spicy! I'm glad I wasn't the one who licked it.

But look how fast you're moving! Just think—with this you could get twice the amount of work done in half the time!

We've been stuck in the same place for a while now, Bernard. I suppose that leaves a pilot like you with a lot of free time.

Oh, I didn't realize. What else does a pilot do, then?

Uh, I'm not sure that counts as "work."

Stop! Stop that right now! What do you think you're doing, Russ?!

I wonder... Has Oatchi's tail always looked like this?

Hopefully it's nothing serious...

We did it! We rescued all of the castaways stranded on this planet. I'd say that's mission complete!

Captain, you were the one who personally recruited Bernard to the Rescue Corps, isn't that right?

Huh. And you didn't think that was kind of...suspicious behavior?

It would have worked out even better if he spoke just a little quieter.

By the by, Olimar, is there anything you remember from right before or after you became a leafling? Any additional details?

You're not planning any new experiments now, are you? Yonny...

We've been on this planet for some time,
Captain. You've got to be used to Pikmin by now. Aren't you?

Right... Well, the number of Pikmin is increasing at an exceptionally high rate.

I took a glance inside the Onion the other day and saw tens, maybe even hundreds of Pikmin eyes staring right back at me...

We deactivated the forced-sleep mode on his space suit. The doctor's with him now.

The S.S. Shepherd's radar signal has already been boosted close to its limit.

I'm not sure we'll be able to extend its reach any further...

He's still unconscious. Think I should wake him up?

The S.S. Shepherd's radar signal has already been boosted close to its limit.

I'm not sure we'll be able to extend its reach any further...

I'm sorry to hear that. How did you manage after the crash?

Really? You must be talking about glow sap.

The S.S. Shepherd's radar signal has already been boosted close to its limit.

I'm not sure we'll be able to extend its reach any further...

Nelle hasn't woken up yet?

According to the radar, she's en route to our location.

Welcome home, Oatchi! And you too, Rescue Officer!

Speaking of medicine, we need it right away. Yonny, please hurry!

Alright! Tomorrow let's explore a new area!

You are one top-notch explorer!

From what I can tell, if you decide to enter that cave, you won't emerge until nightfall.

That's right. Make sure you take care of any outstanding rescue tasks before entering that cave, Rescue Officer.

あれ…？
ハッピーの様子が おかしいですよ

オリマーさん、どうしたんですか？

Copy that!

Here's the latest status report.

As of today, two Rescue Officers and one
Rescue Pup have been recovered, thanks to the efforts of Rescue Officer.

However, the whereabouts of the other four Rescue Officers remain unknown, and the S.S. Shepherd is out of commission.

All things considered, our primary mission, the rescue of Captain Olimar...has run into some roadblocks.

Don't worry. We'll be available via the
S.S. Shepherd's wireless communication at all times, so you'll have our full support.

Captain, what about our search for
Captain Olimar? Should we officially put it on pause?

Copy that!

Wait... Is it just me, or did Oatchi go through a growth spurt overnight?

The Pikmin sure are playful today!

I'm just glad to see they're getting along.

Copy that!

Sounds like we're not only collecting treasure now but raw material too.

Copy that!

Nothing new to report. They're still asleep, and they haven't responded to any of our attempts to wake them up.

The oddest thing is they don't seem to need a helmet to breathe. And we have no idea how that's possible.

You're going to fit right in around here.
I can already tell.

I dunno... It kinda had a fun ring to it,
I think.

Copy that, Captain!

Nothing new to report. They're still asleep, and they haven't responded to any of our attempts to wake them up.

The oddest thing is they don't seem to need a helmet to breathe. And we have no idea how that's possible.

Copy that!

A leafling?

Copy that!

Obviously not.

And I have no idea why they're currently unconscious. It was Rescue Officer who recovered them.

But based on what you're saying, this leafling could potentially be Bernard?!

Copy that, Captain!

Copy that, Captain!

Copy that, Captain!

If this entry is accurate, Olimar must be hiding in a very large structure...

However, I haven't detected any place that fits that description using our radar.

Copy that!

While searching the area with the newly restored S.S. Shepherd, we discovered a very large structure and an SOS signal.

I'm positive we'll find Captain Olimar there!

While searching using our newly restored radar, we received a very strong SOS signal from inside a large structure.

It must be coming from Captain Olimar.

Copy that!

Whaaa?!

Has Oatchi's tail always been so...green?

Collin here. It looks like you're safely inside the structure.

Based on your current location, we were right to conclude that Captain Olimar is in this area.

I found a log associated with your exact coordinates.

Huzzah! Rescue complete!

Of course, we still can't read his ID badge due to the leafification.

But if this is Captain Olimar, then it's mission accomplished!

Now all we have to do is administer the cure to Captain Olimar.

Time for another night expedition to collect more glow sap.

Copy that!

Copy that!

What could this be? Spacesickness?

Olimar! What's going on?

We'll take that explanation now,
Captain Olimar.

No... That can't be.

So what do we do now?

That's right! If we all put our heads together, we're sure to find a way to cure Oatchi!

We must have been out of range while within the planet's atmosphere.

So... What did it say?

This is a long list...

Then we'll have to find a way to extend our radar's reach and expand our search radius.

Copy that!

Russ, do you think it's possible to boost our radar even more?

Now then, let's begin our search!

Hmm...

We got something! Multiple SOS signals have been detected in an unexplored area!

Oatchi's condition. Or, rather, his tail's condition. If we can't cure his leafy appendage, we can't leave this planet.

And we believe she's located in the same area where those newly received
SOS signals are originating.

Copy that!

Is he trying to rescue that castaway?

Oh! Could that castaway be—

Hold on... He's disappeared.

Perhaps your employer sent him here to help you, Olimar.

Let's follow Louie! We don't want anything to happen to that possibly
Koppaite castaway.

Let's check their ID badge.

Huzzah! It is a Koppaite castaway. Let's hope he has information regarding Nelle's whereabouts.

Let's check their ID badge.

It's Yorke's companion. A Koppaite!

Indeed. He appears to be unharmed. I bet he'll be quite relieved when he wakes up.

Good to meet you. So, Dobbs... Do you, by any chance, know a veterinarian who goes by the name of Nelle?

I'm sorry to hear that. How did you manage after the crash?

Really? You must be talking about glow sap.

So you were separated. That's horrible!

Can you remember the last place you saw the other one?

Copy that!

Same as yesterday, our priority mission is the rescue of any and all Koppaite castaways on this planet.

Copy that!

Let's take a look at their ID badge!

Yep! They're a Koppaite! I just hope they're also one of Nelle's companions.

Let's take a look at their ID badge!

He appears to be unconscious.

Let him rest for now. We'll have plenty of time for questions once he wakes up.

I'm so sorry. How have you been managing since then?

Really? You must be talking about glow sap.

Copy that!

Dobbs and Yorke have both identified
Nelle's possible location.

But in order to pick up her SOS signal, we'll have to update our radar.

Copy that!

Yorke, that reminds me. We saw you get sucked up into that Onion, but you seem completely...normal.

If Yonny's theory is correct, then Nelle may not have been turned to a leafling either.

Copy that!

Oh! There's Louie!

Oh no! Code red! Code red! He's absconded with Nelle!

Rescue Nelle! She's still located in the
Primordial Thicket.

Copy that!

Good news! We rescued Nelle!

Where are we going to find a dog like that on this planet?

Nelle, can you remember the dog's tail?
Did it have a leaf?

The only problem is...where's the giant dog now?

Copy that!

We're ready to go! Make your way over to the S.S. Beagle, Rescue Officer.

Hmm... Her smile seems to be masking some pretty intense feelings.

Wait. Is there supposed to be a cave here?
I need to double-check these coordinates.

Checking...

Huh? What's this?!

It's Louie's log! He must be hiding somewhere around here.

Louie! Louie!!! Come out from wherever you're hiding!

There he is! Louie!

How long is he going to draw this out?

The bottom of this cave can't be too far off.

Oof. What a grade A troublemaker.

Looks like it got away. I don't know how we're going to cure Oatchi now...

You heard her. Let's get Louie out of here.

I'm not sure what he's capable of... We may need to tie him up later, just to be safe.

It worked! His tail! It's back to normal!

OK, Moss. You're up next.

There must be some way to cure her...

But, Olimar...

Copy that!

Our flight path is clear, and all safety mechanisms are in good working order.

No, it's my fault, Captain. I was able to clear up our communication issues and made contact with Rescue Corps HQ.

They'd like us to stand by for a little longer until they're prepared to receive all the survivors we found here.

Hmm... Plus, we have yet to hear the remainder of Olimar's Shipwreck Tale.

This will expand our range and help us pick up distant SOS signals. Let's give it a spin.

Almost done...

Huzzah! We've detected multiple
SOS signals!

I hope this gets us closer to finding our missing officers and Captain Olimar.

Energy replenishment complete!

Now let's switch on the radar...

It's working...

Yes! Once again, we've detected more
SOS signals in an unexplored area.

We've got enough energy stored up that we should have no problem starting the
S.S. Shepherd's engines.

I'll make sure the ignition is functioning properly.

Now we can take off at any time!

Now we can take off at any time!

Something's happening...

Amazing! We just picked up multiple
SOS signals from an unexplored area!

I thought we'd reached maximum capacity, but I should've known Russ would figure something out.

So, I'm going to remove the limiter and start up the radar again. Let's see what that does!

Let's see...

That did it! I can't believe there are so many SOS signals coming from that unexplored area.

That was amazing to witness! Let's inject the sparklium and see what happens!

The S.S. Shepherd's radar signal has already been boosted close to its limit.

I'm not sure we'll be able to extend its reach any further...

The Rescue Command Post was getting a bit crowded, so we started clearing a new area, when we came upon something odd...

A spaceship in disrepair!

I almost forgot! We also found some raw materials while establishing the new area.
Please put them to good use!

Oh! I forgot to tell you!

The Rescue Command Post was getting a bit crowded, so we started clearing a new area, when we came upon something odd...

I almost forgot! We also found some raw materials while establishing the new area.
Please put them to good use!

Once again, the Rescue Command Post was starting to feel a bit cramped, so we've expanded into a new area!

Here's some raw material that we dug up while clearing the new space. I'm sure you'll find a use for it.

I've got one last thing to report.

Once again, the Rescue Command Post was starting to feel a bit cramped, so we've expanded into a new area!

Here's some raw material that we dug up while clearing the new space. I'm sure you'll find a use for it.

And since our population has grown so quickly, we went ahead and cleared a second area as well!

After many castaway requests, we're adding even more space to the Rescue
Command Post.

We have enough space now that I'm sure we can fit anyone else we rescue while we're on this planet.

Everyone you've rescued pulled together to give this to you as a way of saying thank you. I believe it's more raw material.

Oh! I have one more thing to report.

After many castaway requests, we're adding even more space to the Rescue
Command Post.

We have enough space now that I'm sure we can fit anyone else we rescue while we're on this planet.

Everyone you've rescued pulled together to give this to you as a way of saying thank you. I believe it's more raw material.

One last thing! Since our population is growing so rapidly, we'll be clearing another area over here as well.

I wonder if this is the cave he was talking about...

While Olimar was recounting his adventures, I spotted the entrance to a cave right here.

For whatever reason, our radar never picked up on it.

That must be why we didn't know it existed until now. What could be inside?

Nicely done! Now you can easily increase your Purple Pikmin population.

So, um, I've been wondering about that leafling, Rescue Officer...

Do you think we should try to bring them back to the surface and cure them of their leafiness?

Understood, Captain. Well then. Time to head back, Rescue Officer!

Nicely done! Now you can easily increase both your Purple Pikmin and your White
Pikmin populations.

So, um, I've been wondering about that leafling, Rescue Officer...

Understood, Captain. Well then. Time to head back, Rescue Officer!

Oh! The Onion's going too?

Come in, come in... This is Collin. Looks like you made it there in one piece!

Hang on—I'll have the captain explain how today's rescue operation will work.

Oh, you probably noticed that the Onion accompanied the S.S. Beagle.

According to the Voyage Log, the Onion also serves as a form of transportation for the Pikmin.

You look a little confused... Have you never heard the term "Dandori" before,
Rescue Officer? How to explain...

Dandori is the art of organizing your tasks strategically and working with maximum efficiency to execute your plans quickly.

Its practice has fallen by the wayside in recent years, but it's still a core tenet of the Rescue Corps, so take it to heart.

Huh, another circle of stones. We keep finding them in the most opportune locations. How interesting.

Maybe Captain Olimar left them behind for us so we could track him down...

At any rate, this seems like another good spot for a base. Use A to call the S.S. Beagle here.

Huh, another circle of stones. We keep finding them in the most opportune locations. How interesting.

Never mind that for now. I wonder if we're in this creature's territory.

Did the water just—

The tide appears to ebb in the afternoon.
That ought to make it a lot easier to explore now!

Is this a new type of Pikmin?!

I should check to see if Captain Olimar's log says anything about them!

Resistant to electricity? How unusual.
What in the world are they made of?

That sounds like a potentially useful quality though! Just be careful how you deploy them. There aren't that many.

We haven't seen Pikmin like these before.

I wonder if Captain Olimar ever encountered anything like them.

These Pikmin certainly have some heft to them.

Let me check the Voyage Log. There may be a relevant entry.

White Pikmin this time?!

I can't wait to find out what qualities these little guys have!

P-poison?!

I'm sure they aren't a threat to us, but I suggest you handle them with care.

Um... Could these be Pikmin too?

There's no way these were mentioned in the Voyage Log...

They can fly?!

The variety of Pikmin types never ceases to amaze me. Let me look these up.

Huzzah! The sky is no longer out of our reach!

We'll get much more exploring and rescuing done with the help of these Pikmin!

Are these Pikmin too?

Let's see. The Voyage Log says...

We found a castaway!

Hurry and check their vitals!

Pulse, blood pressure, temperature...
All within normal parameters. Looks like their life-support system did its job.

We should transport them back to the
S.S. Beagle and verify their ID badge.

That's a pretty rock, isn't it?

It doesn't seem like treasure, but it might be useful. I'll check Captain Olimar's
Voyage Log.

I'm a fair hand with machines, but I don't know much about materials science.

If we had our scientist back, I bet he'd be able to make good use of this.

Collect it for now. He'll be excited to have something to work with after we find him.

Aha, this must be the raw material we were talking about.

It looks like Captain Olimar was investigating this too.

Was this under construction at some point?! I wonder who was working on it.

I'm sure we could put it to good use...if it was finished.

Look at that! Another Onion!

This one's a different color from the first one we found. Will it also move on its own after we transport it?

Onions really do come in all kinds of different colors.

Could there be one for every Pikmin type?

You did it! Let's take a look and see what the ID badge tells us.

...

Hey, this is...

I think we might have found another
Rescue Officer. Let's hurry and verify their ID info!

Hang on! This is no Rescue Officer!
Who is this, and how did he get here?!

The ID shows that...he's a treasure appraiser! What's he doing on this planet?

Checking ID info now. I hope it's one of our Rescue Officers this time.

Nope, this is another civilian castaway.
A florist out here on his own. But why?

Alright, let's check that ID!

...

Look who we have here!

Checking their ID. I hope it's another
Rescue Officer, like our doctor or pilot.

Um, he appears to be an animal enthusiast.

He must've seen the Voyage Log and came here looking for new species. Luckily we found him before he got, well...eaten.

Let's check the ID card!

The research task force... I had no idea there were researchers stranded here too.

What's this ID badge say?

"To investigate mysterious creatures"...
She must have come to study the Pikmin and other unusual wildlife here.

Let's see that ID info...

Oh! You know who this is?!

OK! Let's see that ID badge!

What is a stylist doing here, of all places?!

He must have had a reason for coming to this planet. Curious... Well, we'll figure that out after you get him back here.

Time to look at the ID info!

A school teacher? Did she come here as a part of an educational field trip?

Oh, but then... That means other teachers and students from the school could be stranded here too!

We better get the whole story from her as soon as we can.

Let's see... Another ID to check.

Ah, the endless burden of the academic.
Never satisfied unless they see with their own eyes and touch with their own hands.

OK! I'll check the ID info!

Running the ID now. Isn't that interesting?
This one's not from the task force.

So, you're a big fan, Russ?

Let's look at the ID info.

"Alayon Academy"... "Planetary Science
Club"... Ah, she's one of the students traveling with that teacher.

There still may be more of them out there. We need to keep searching.

Let's see what this ID tells us.

Checking the ID info right now.

A musician? Looks like he was riding along on the TV crew's ship.

Maybe he knows the TV reporter.

Alright! Another ID to check out!

A student... Oh, another member of the
Planetary Science Club.

Let's get her back to her teacher and fellow students. They'll be excited to see each other again.

Good work on that rescue! Let's see what we can learn from this ID.

Oh, good! Someone else from the TV crew.
That'll be a relief to Muggs!

OK! I'll check the ID info!

I'll start verifying the ID info. Give me just a moment...

Alright then, I'm checking the ID.

That's an odd thing to read on an ID badge.
He seems like a rather...eccentric sort.

Checking the ID badge now!

A sky researcher! That's quite an... expansive subject to tackle.

Now, let's check that ID info.

A TV director! That means we've found everyone from the TV crew!

Let's hurry back and report this to Muggs.

I just can't get over the fact that they have leaves growing out of their head.
And their face is all...well, bushy.

Let's check their ID info.

What's this? "Unable to read data"?! They should have biometric authentication, but...

This is definitely an issue. How are we supposed to find out who this is?

Another leafy castaway. Hopefully their
ID will tell us something.

No luck. Could the leaves be causing this error?

Maybe Russ will have more success getting their ID information.

Why were these individuals turned into leaflings? There must be a reason.

We already know that reading their ID info doesn't work. For now, just bring them back with you.

If only I could check the leaflings' ID info.
Maybe this time...

Nope, still no luck.

I'm checking the ID info of the leafling you secured. At this point...it's just part of my routine.

I'm not giving up. One of these leafling
IDs has to work...

Nope. Still can't read it.

Checking the leafling's ID info...

Could not be analyzed. No surprises there.

I'm checking the ID info of the leafling you picked up.

Another leafling secured.

ID info still unavailable.

Leafling recovered. Good work!

Seems like there are an awful lot of leaflings out there to be rescued.
Yonny's got his work cut out for him.

Leafling recovered. Good work!

I'm gonna check the leafling's ID. Maybe this time I'll get lucky...

No good. Why do I do this to myself?

Leafling recovered. Good work!

They'll need to be cured as soon as possible.

Leafling recovered. Good work!

I can't help myself... I'm checking the leafling's ID info.

Hmm. Why did I think it would be different this time?

Leafling recovered. Good work!

It's in Yonny's hands now.

Leafling recovered. Good work!

Leafling recovered. Good work!

This is our twentieth leafling rescue!
That's quite the accomplishment!

What's this? That's not treasure!

Huh, treasure or not, it does appear to contain some sparklium.

You might as well keep collecting those defeated creatures. They may be enough to help, even if only a little.

It sucked up the other Onion?! That was unexpected. You don't think that's going to be a problem, do you?

I know the Pikmin will be excited about this!

That's a very nice set of colors!

What a fantastic array of colors! Now the
Onion can propagate any type of Pikmin!

Does it look like it's...sputtering?

It looks pretty pale for an Onion. What do you think? Should we take it with us?

Hey! The Onion sucked it up!

The Voyage Log says that the white bulb is called "flarlic."

If we bring flarlic to the Onion, it will increase the number of Pikmin it releases onto the surface at any one time by 10!

Huh? This Onion is different somehow?

Let's take it back to the surface so we can compare it with the other Onion.

Hey! The Onion sucked it up!

The Voyage Log says that the white bulb is called "flarlic."

If we bring flarlic to the Onion, it will increase the number of Pikmin it releases onto the surface at any one time by 10!

The number of Pikmin you can withdraw increased by 10 again! This makes me want to feed that Onion even more!

Huh? Nectar from the Onion?

It must not release more than 100 Pikmin on the surface at any given time.

It released more nectar!

This must be how it processes nutrients from the extra flarlic.

Huh? Why isn't anything coming out?

Judging from the life signs, it looks like
Pikmin numbers have increased inside the Onion. But then...

Huh? The Onion stopped spitting out seeds.

Based on life signs from inside the Onion, there are clearly more Pikmin in there.

But it didn't change color. Hmm...

I suppose if we already have an Onion of the same color, the new one just gets turned into nutrients.

Looking at the life signs, inside the Onion there are 20 more Pikmin than before.

As long as we already have an Onion of the same color, the new one just gets turned into nutrients.

I calculated the difference. It looks as if about 1/6 as much time passed on the surface as you spent underground.

Time seems to move differently in the underground spaces on this planet...

I'm not sure how it works, but I suppose that means you can take as much time as you need to explore caves.

Hurry! A Pikmin is drowning!

Use your whistle to call it back to shore!

Hurry! A Pikmin is drowning!

Gah! A Pikmin's on fire!

Quick, put it out with Bhold!

Gah! A Pikmin's on fire!

Uh-oh, the poor Pikmin got shocked!

Call them with Bhold to wake them up!

Uh-oh, the poor Pikmin got shocked!

A Pikmin got wet and needs some help!

Get rid of the water fast with Bhold!

A Pikmin got all wet and needs help!

Ugh, a Pikmin's been poisoned!

Use Bhold to counteract it!

Ugh, a Pikmin's been poisoned!

Is the poor thing frozen?!

Try the whistle to see if it'll still respond.

Is the poor thing frozen?!

Hold up! There's a Pikmin shivering from the cold!

There must be something we can do for it.

Uh-oh, a bottomless swamp!

Get back to the shallows! Fast!

It's a bottomless swamp!

Hurry! Call the Pikmin back to the shallows before they sink!

It's a bottomless swamp!

Gah, it's confusing the Pikmin!

I think our best option in this situation is to defeat this creature!

Gah, it's confusing the Pikmin!

Use Bhold to call it back to shore with your whistle!

Quick! Put it out with Bhold!

Use Bhold to wake it up!

Hurry and get rid of the water with Bhold!

Use Bhold to counteract the poison!

Maybe it will respond to the whistle.

Hurry! Call the Pikmin back to the shallows before it's too late!

Our best option in this situation is to defeat the creature responsible!

Something is blocking the Pikmin... Find a way to clear the path.

Looks like you're stuck. It'll take some clever thinking to solve this...

Huh. No use beating their head against this problem any longer.

Uh-oh...Rescue Officer!

We better get them back to base quickly!

Oh no... Oatchi!

Let's hurry and get the poor little pup back to base.

Your Pikmin have all been lost.

It will be difficult to go on without them.

The precious Pikmin are all gone.

No need to despair though. I'm sure you'll encounter more...somewhere.

Oh no, the Pikmin have been completely wiped out.

Perhaps if you return to where you found them before, there will be more.

The Onion spit out a seed!

It looks like a sprout from the same type of Pikmin that was wiped out. Try to take better care of them this time.

Oh, look at the time.

An important part of any rescue mission is making sure you make your way back to the base before it gets dark.

According to Captain Olimar's Voyage Log,
Pikmin will be safe as long as they make it back to this area around the base.

Done exploring for the day?

Check to make sure nothing's still in transport and that your Pikmin aren't in the middle of any other tasks.

According to Captain Olimar's Voyage Log,
Pikmin will be safe as long as they make it back to this area around the base.

Hmm... That substance is called nectar.
When Pikmin consume it, it stimulates their growth, apparently.

The Voyage Log says that the more they grow, the faster they move.

They really are mysterious creatures...

Would you look at that?! It's like the Pikmin got a huge energy boost!

The silly boy inhaled some of that
Ultra-Spicy Spray, but it doesn't seem to be hurting him.

It just looks like he's brimming with extra energy!

The Pikmin and Oatchi are all extremely fired up right now.

It seems like the Ultra-Spicy Spray has a powerful energizing effect on them.

Their movements are faster, and they're more efficient at pretty much everything!

Would you look at that?! It's like the Pikmin got a huge energy boost!

The silly boy inhaled some of that
Ultra-Spicy Spray, but it doesn't seem to be hurting him.

It just looks like he's brimming with extra energy!

Good work! You stopped the water!

You did it! The fire's out!

After thorough analysis, it appears that these berries contain large amounts of ultra-spicy essence.

I suggest you squeeze 10 of them and put the resulting extract into your pack.

You never know when you'll need it.

After thorough analysis, it appears that these berries contain large amounts of ultra-spicy essence.

We only got 10 berries. Just enough to make one Ultra-Spicy Spray!

I believe this is that ultra-spicy nectar that was mentioned in the Voyage Log.

Keep that sample sealed up in a bottle so it won't spill in your pack.

There's a decent amount of ultra-spicy essence there. It should be useful.

I knew it! That IS ultra-spicy nectar!
Seal it up in a spray bottle, and add it to your pack.

Gah! Something just dropped from above!

What is that thing?! I can see it, but I'm not picking up on any signs of life.

I hope this will all make sense after I check the log...

Its body might not exist in this dimension?
How is that possible? So a physical attack could have no impact at all.

So what do we do? Well, let me think...

I suggest you go with my favorite battle strategy and just...run away while you can!

Gah! Something just dropped from above!

What is that thing?! I can see it, but I'm not picking up on any signs of life.

I hope this will all make sense after I check the log...

Gah! Something just dropped from above!

What is that thing?! I can see it, but I'm not picking up on any signs of life.

I hope this will all make sense after I check the log...

It may be vulnerable to gravitational waves... So we still have a chance.

I know you two can figure it out, Oatchi and Rescue Officer!

Look! Over there! It's the dog that was running around with that leafling!

It looks like it's all alone at the moment.

I'll check and see what the Voyage Log says about it.

So, if this dog is the "Moss" mentioned in the log...

Then that leafling must be...

Oh no, this isn't supposed to happen!
Oatchi's all the way over there!

Captain, what's the protocol for a situation like this?

It...it froze?!

Don't just stand there. Now's your chance!

Did you see that?! It broke!

I guess when you freeze something in midair, it destroys it completely.

Just like that! Frozen solid!

I bet you can break it if you hit it now.
Give the order to the Pikmin or Oatchi.

Wow, how amazing is that?! The water froze almost instantaneously.

Now you can travel right across the top!

Huh? Looks like there was something in the fire.

I wonder if there might be a Voyage Log entry related to these coordinates.
Yep, here it is!

Take a look at this! That Captain Olimar certainly is thorough, isn't he?

According to the log, anytime you enter a cave, you should take Pikmin with you.

The S.S. Beagle can bring the Pikmin, so you can enter the cave without stopping by the base first.

The Pikmin that remain on the surface can't just be left out here, so let's return them to the Onion for the time being.

You did it! Really great job, Oatchi and Rescue Officer!

With all the energy you've collected, we can continue our restoration of the
S.S. Shepherd's radar!

Fantastic! We accomplished our goal!

With so much energy collected, we can really expand the radar's search area!

Amazing! Look at all this sparklium!

And yet...the S.S. Shepherd's energy tank still hasn't reached its maximum capacity.

I believe it's called a "Candypop Bud."

When you throw a Pikmin into it, they're transformed into a Pikmin that matches the color of the flower.

There is poisonous oxygen in this planet's atmosphere. They shouldn't be able to survive without their helmet.

Oh, this seems like an opportune time to teach you how to use items.

From YholdActions, open your pack with L stick.

You'll find all your items in there, so just pick the one you want to use!

Huh? I thought we cleared all the creatures out of this cave. But now it's teeming with them yet again.

They must have found all this open territory and moved right in...

I noticed you looking at the Radar Map just now. Why don't I tell you about a handy little function it has?

The system will mark discovered caves and cleared areas with marker or marker.

If you go to that spot, the symbol disappears. It's a very useful way to keep track of your objectives.

You'll want to keep a close eye on the creatures, but if they move around a lot, they can easily escape your line of sight.

Press ZR to fix your Auto Target Lock, and keep your aim focused on one target!

It makes targeting nimble enemies or aiming while you're in motion a snap.

When that happens, there's a handy trick for keeping your sights and aim where you want them.

I have a handy trick for that exact situation. Unfortunately, it won't work while you're using horizontal controls.

I'll explain how it works so you'll be ready to try it out when you get a chance.

Huh? That seems like...a lot of Pikmin.
Is your squad bigger than normal?

Oh, I see! When you're underground, you can have a larger squad because the wild Pikmin you find will join you!

Huh? Does your squad have more Pikmin in it than usual?

Interesting. When you're underground, the number you can have increases relative to how many Glow Pikmin are born.

What? Why can't these Pikmin come out?

Ah! According to the Voyage Log, only 3 types of Pikmin can be out on the surface at any given time.

They really have developed a lot of protective traits to keep their species from getting totally wiped out.

Yeah, there are limits to how many and what types of Pikmin you can have out on the surface at any one time.

But don't worry about the rest when you choose which Pikmin to take!

Any remaining Pikmin will go back to the
Onion with the S.S. Beagle.

Russ tinkered with the appraisal AI. Now you'll be able to see when you've collected all the treasures in a series.

Look! There's a cave here too!

Well, we should probably take a look inside.

Oh, I see you've used a pin!

So then, I guess I don't need to tell you that it's as easy as selecting a mission and pressing A to pin it and unpin it.

I commend your instincts! Pinning a mission is a great way to keep track of your objectives and progress!

Who or what could this leafy creature be?

I can only hope it's one of our missing
Rescue Officers. Check their ID!

What's this? "Unable to read data"?! They should have biometric authentication, but...

This is definitely an issue. How are we supposed to find out who this is?

Urgh... Hrm... Huh? Is that you, Oatchi?

Thank the stars! I wasn't sure that my
SOS signal had reached HQ!

So you and Oatchi found and rescued me...together?

That's actually quite surprising. I've never known Oatchi to listen to anyone other than our captain.

Oh! I should probably introduce myself.
I'm Collin, communications operator for the Rescue Corps.

My path got cut off by a small landslide, and when my hunger became unbearable,
I decided to nap to preserve my stamina.

You're our latest recruit, right?
It's Rescue Officer, isn't it?

I couldn't be more grateful to you for rescuing me.

As I mentioned before, I was the one who sent out that emergency signal. The rest of the Rescue Corps, well...

It was a rough landing. We entered the planet's atmosphere and lost control of the ship...

I have no idea.

There were six officers on the ship, but we were separated when we ejected from the spacecraft.

Oh yes. I've spent days sleeping out here in the rough...

There were six officers on the ship, but we were separated when we ejected from the spacecraft.

We came here to find Captain Olimar, whose own ship had crashed, only to suffer the same fate.

It's almost embarrassing...

I've confirmed that our spaceship, the S.S. Shepherd, landed somewhere over there.

But I couldn't reach it on my own. Now that you're here, maybe we can find a way back to it.

And if we're lucky, we'll come across a few stranded Rescue Officers along the way.

Oh, before I forget. Take this.

It's an official Rescue Corps Tablet!
We use them to share information.
Thank goodness I always carry an extra.

Tap up on the left side there to open and review your missions.

Press stick to review our missions.

You can use this app anytime to confirm what tasks are top priority.

I have some other handy apps to share, but I'll install them later when we have a moment to rest.

For now, just remember that you can always tap up to view Missions.

But if you press − and select Shortcut
Settings, you can assign different functions to each shortcut button.

Now then, let's go find the S.S. Shepherd!

There she is! The S.S. Shepherd!

I can see the ship, but I have no idea how we're going to reach it from here.

You know...there's something familiar about this area. I remember something!

It's just up ahead. Let's go!

Look! That's it! See that big hole in the ground over there?

If only we could find a way there...
Then we could finally reunite with the S.S. Shepherd!

This is a perfect job for a Rescue Pup!
They're known for being excellent diggers.

Good pup, Oatchi! You're making easy work of all that dirt!

Almost there...

You can see why Rescue Pups are the
Rescue Corps's pride and joy!

Huh. This looks just like the other hole we saw.

Well done, Oatchi!

I wonder if these two holes are somehow connected underground...

It looks pretty deep. We're just going to have to dive right in.

For real?

Let's do it!

A Rescue Officer must act with courage in the face of any danger!

That's the spirit! Here we go!

Though it does look pretty dark down there...

Hey! What is it, Oatchi?

He's trying to tell us something... Perhaps another Rescue Officer is down here.

Oh my... What a place to find the captain!

That terrified individual you see over there is the captain of our Rescue Corps team.
Look sharp, Rescue Officer!

The captain comes from a long line of
Rescue Officers going back gen—

Phew. Now we can relax a bit.

Captain, we took care of the creatures down here. Can you get down?

Shouldn't I be asking you that? I'm just relieved to see you're alright.

Sorry to interrupt, Captain, but, uh...
What were you doing down here, anyway?

Hang on! Did you fall down the hole located near the S.S. Shepherd?

We entered this cave in an attempt to reach that very opening!

Copy that!

Is something wrong? You didn't say anything, Rescue Officer.

"Copy that!" is the Rescue Corps way of saying, "Understood!" Let's try saying it together, OK?

Copy that!

My word... To think you survived a fall from that height...

But more importantly, how are we supposed to climb up there?

I completely agree! Though, in this case, your impulsive behavior did get us out of that cave.

Alright, Captain! The Rescue Corps flag has been officially planted!

Now for the status report on all cave-related activities!

We located and rescued one castaway, and no other individuals were found during our search.

I guess we're just going to skip right over the fact that we had to rescue the captain herself...

I don't think so. I've been a bit busy trying to, you know...stay alive.

I'll investigate right away!
Famous last words...

Status report!

Upon investigating the interior of the ship,
I discovered the engine had overheated...

And that the spaceship was seconds away from total destruction!

It will. I initiated an emergency shutdown, and everything's stable. Thankfully, the engine can be repaired.

However, the ship's energy stores are now completely empty.

Not necessarily... I think I saw something in
Captain Olimar's Voyage Log that may prove useful...

Here it is! Take a look at this.

In layman's terms...

We should be able to extract sparklium from sparkling objects that we find on this planet and convert it into energy!

If they can be used to restart and restore the S.S. Shepherd, those objects truly are nothing short of real-life treasures.

Copy that!

Once we collect this treasure, we'll need a way to transport it.

For that we can use the S.S. Beagle.

We just need a good place for it to land...

Huh? What's that over there?

It's so shiny...

Maybe it's some sort of landmark, but I'm not completely sure.

S.S. Beagle repositioning successful!

Is it a treasure?

What could it be? It looks kind of like a plant.

Could this be that thing Captain Olimar wrote about in his Voyage Log?

He called it an Onion.

Oh my! I think this could be a Pikmin!

According to Captain Olimar's Voyage Log, they're friendly and helpful creatures.

Look at that! Oatchi's already bonding with the Pikmin! You should introduce yourself as well, Rescue Officer.

And, um...Captain? How long do you intend to hide back there?

That red, seedlike thing we collected is called a pellet. It must be nutritious, because it helps create more sprouts.

That red, seedlike thing is apparently called a pellet. If you feed one to the
Onion, it will create more Pikmin.

Is this what I think it is?!

Let's check the Tablet to see if it's emitting a high-energy reading.

Alright, rookie. Press + to open the Radar Map.

Presence of sparklium confirmed! That treasure in the center represents the treasure!

From now on, you can consult your
Radar Map to check if there's any treasure in your area.

That was close. Too close.

The ship uses a special type of light ray that miniaturizes objects during collection, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I'll examine it with the sensors on the
S.S. Beagle right away. Let's hope it contains the type of energy we need.

If we can collect # more units of sparklium, we may be able to restart the S.S. Shepherd.

I believe we can get it to run on sparklium alone, though it may be a bumpier ride.

But before that can happen, we're going to need a lot more.

Huzzah!

You nailed it that time! Of course, this isn't quite the right occasion for a "copy that"...
But good effort, Rescue Officer!

Now it's time to extract the energy from the treasure.

Energy from the treasure will soon be extracted... It'll flow directly into the S.S. Shepherd.

We did it! The ship's back online!

We still don't have enough energy to fly, but now we can use the radar to look for our missing Rescue Officers!

...

I'm picking up multiple SOS signals!

They could be coming from our lost
Rescue Officers and even Captain Olimar!

That's...interesting. The ship is automatically naming the objects?

It is neat, but a backup power source probably would have been more helpful.

We need to do something about this wall...

Huzzah! Now we can get past that wall.

Are those...wild Pikmin?!

Huh... I think that red stuff is...

Ohhh... It's bearing a red seed.
Is this another kind of Pikmin nutrient?

That's one sparkly stone.
I'm guessing it contains some sparklium.

Have I seen this color Onion before?
Let's bring it back with us, just in case.

OK, we've got the flarlic.
We'll bring it to the Onion on the surface.

It's about time for a break!
Head to the surface, and come back later.

Need more Pikmin?
See if Oatchi can track down their scent!

Poor little Pikmin...

Oh no! The Pikmin...

Wait... Was that a Pikmin's cry just now?!

Somewhere out there...we lost a Pikmin.

Yikes! So many Pikmin lost!

Not the Pikmin! And so many of them.
If only we could reverse the clock...

You alright, Rescue Officer?
Please rest up until Oatchi wakes you.

Good thing we had that Emergency Kit...

Uh-oh. The Pikmin are having trouble...

If you need to complete a task, press A.
The Pikmin will happily assist!

If you need to complete a task, press A.
The Pikmin will happily assist!

We're pretty far from the S.S. Beagle...

Lost? Press + to check the Radar Map.

I can't even see the bottom of this cave...
Wouldn't want to fall down there.

Frost on the lens? It must be pretty cold...

Is this the bunker from the Voyage Log?
It seems to be locked...

Is this the bunker from the Voyage Log?
These symbols... I've seen them before!

I think I've seen this symbol before...

Was this symbol at the bunker too?

A symbol...and numbers... Could this be...

What does this symbol mean?

We've seen a similar symbol before...

That makes 3 of them!
Just what do these symbols mean?

Yellow Pikmin are great at digging holes!

This looks like a job for Yellow Pikmin...
They could easily handle this electric gate.

Which Pikmin would be the best to throw?

Oatchi has arrived!

Hmm... He's not picking up on anything.

I'm not seeing any stray Pikmin.

So the scent leads to the next sublevel...

The scent's coming from inside the cave.

Huh?! There must be a castaway nearby!

This guy's pretty big... Be careful!

Careful! There's something up ahead!

Yikes! There's poison gas in its back!
Better not attack the back, then.

Ick! That thing's coming out of the egg!
It's going after the Lumiknoll!

Oof... The fog got 'em.

Ugh! It's that creature again!
You need to get out of there, and fast!

It's dangerous to keep going on like this.
Just head to the next sublevel for now!

Aha! It's shown itself!
This is our chance!

Why aren't the attacks working?!

Call them back! Quickly!

Hitting the white doesn't do any good...

Oh no! Call the Pikmin back! Quick!

They're frozen in there?
You need to break that ice!

Wonderful! Now's our chance!

It's no use! The scales are too tough.

Ohhh, look closely at its belly...
Perhaps you can flip it over somehow!

There you go! That knocked it off-balance!

You're one charge away! Good luck!

I knew that belly was its soft spot!

Yessiree! This is your chance!

It's too tough. You can't get through that.

So it can't spew rocks without enough air?

Once it starts inhaling, throw the Pikmin!

The shell's open! It's throw time!

Move around to the back!

Ack! It beat us to it!

Hurry up and get it back!

OK! Looks like it's tug-of-war time!

Ack! It beat us to it!

Hurry up and get it back!

You can't lose this round of tug-of-war.

The tip of that tail looks vulnerable...

Now! Hit them with all you've got!

Are you free to chat real quick?

Um, Corgwin would like to speak with you.

Dalmo, the creature guy, is asking for you.

It seems we've run out of raw materials...
The Pikmin are waiting at the S.S. Beagle.

You can use R stick to take a look around.

Feel lost? Alter your perspective with R stick.

Look! A good spot for the S.S. Beagle.

Call over the S.S. Beagle from here!

The S.S. Beagle can't land here right now.

Can we somehow turn this into a base?

Press A to call the S.S. Beagle to a base.
And of course the Pikmin will come with it!

Press A to call the S.S. Beagle to a base.
And of course the Pikmin will come with it!

Good! We need all the energy we can get.

More sparklium?!
Soon we can increase the radar's range!

This machinery looks complicated.
I need to carefully observe its operations.

Can the moving walkways be reversed?

Hmm. You won't get much further now.

Can you meet up with Oatchi somehow?

Unbreakable, it would seem. Too bad...

We need another way to tackle this.

Look how all the Pikmin work together!

There are so many types of Pikmin!

It doesn't look like Olimar made this base...
Then...who did?!

Anyone else starting to feel hungry?

What a nice place to watch the sunset...

I guess Louie was at this base...

Is this treasure from a past civilization?

This would be a nice place to have a picnic.

Olimar's family must be so worried...

Huh. What did Olimar think of this place?

Good thing Oatchi knows how to swim!

What was Louie doing here?

Now I'm kind of craving a sandwich...

Louie got by on his own for so long...

Whose spaceship is that?!

Rescue Officer is in danger!

Rescue Officer is in serious danger!

Oh no! Hurry up and call them back to you!

Precious Pikmin have been lost...
We should go back and search the cave.

Don't worry, now. We'll rebuild your squad.

Oh no! They'll be sucked in!

That approach doesn't seem to work...

It's no use. We're not making any progress.

Gulp... I've got a bad feeling about this.

Here it comes again! Run!

It revives itself when touching the spores!

Try to get it before it touches any spores.

Ah! Hurry up and call them back!

You don't want to get squashed by that...

All we can do now is take out the source.

It looks like that cocoon is made of ice...

You broke the cocoon!

Throw the Pikmin! Now!

Well, shucks. The fire went out!

Now's your chance!

See that soft belly?

Check out Missions to find your next task!

Do you need to confirm your destination?
That's what the Radar Map is there for.

Don't forget to explore thoroughly!

Press − when you're all done exploring.

Try locating your Pikmin on the Radar Map.
It's useful when looking for the stray ones!

This planet really is vast, isn't it...

Monitors are operating normally!
I'll let you know if the situation changes.

Testing... Testing... OK, all good.

Please take care while out in the field!

Press + to see the daily Status Report.

Oatchi's twitching his nose...
Could that mean there's treasure nearby?

This body of water is blocking our way.
Let's play it safe and take a detour.

Hmph. They can't reach it.
You can't transport this thing for now.

They can't reach! But hold on...
Isn't there a Pikmin you can throw higher?

The metal plate is raised.
We can barely see the other side.

I don't think you can reach that handle.
If only the Pikmin could be thrown higher...

Have these dried plants been bundled up?

It seems we've reached a dead end.
This rock looks out of place, doesn't it?

Just look at this amazing view!
How lucky to explore your way to here.

I like this place. It has a sunny feeling to it.

Treasure or not, these petals are lovely.

This area is clearly not a natural feature.
I wonder who could have built it...

These creatures depicted over here...
Don't they kind of look like Oatchi?

I think this is some kind of hearth...
How big were the creatures that used it?

That sticky mold is everywhere!
Don't lose your footing around here.

Plucked those Pikmin sprouts yet?

I see Pikmin sprouts on the Radar Map!

This place looks just how we left it!
Phew! Let's get back to exploring.

No need to rush your explorations.
You can return to the surface anytime.

It doesn't look like it's going to attack...

Uh-oh! That pup has woken up.

It's no use. You need to change tactics.

Try to locate its weak point.

This is it! Go for it!

The belly seems like a good target!

We have to look for its weak spot.

Yes! Now act fast!

Take care of those electric fur balls!

Is there a way to put out those fur balls?

What?! It can FLY?!

Find a way to make it stay still...

It lowered its tail!

Use your Auto Target Lock, and take aim!

Oh... The Pikmin didn't make it.

The Pikmin... Annihilated...

The Pikmin are gone...
You'll have to explore that cave again.

The Pikmin... They're just...gone.

It's nice and toasty by the fire.
Holding a fire starter keeps you warm too.

We must say goodbye to them too...

I don't think you can pull it from here.
Try it from the other side.

Are you all done down here?
If so, you can make your way to the exit!

Do you know where all your Pikmin are?

The Onion produced different Pikmin?
So Onion color determines Pikmin type!

Great! No stray Pikmin to worry about!
So press − to end today's exploration.

Great! No stray Pikmin to worry about!
Press − twice to end today's exploration.

There's no getting up there. I already tried.

The plants on this planet are gigantic...
Always make sure the area's safe with R stick!

It's impossible to get over the ledge.
Use R stick to find another route.

There's nothing to see there. Trust me.
Come back and check over here instead.

Let's get eyes on the S.S. Shepherd!

We need to get to the S.S. Shepherd ASAP!

I wonder if the other officers are OK.

Rescue Officer! Over here!

Check this out over here!

There's something under that dirt...

What could this be...

Do you think Oatchi can help?

Rain must've washed the dirt over here.

The spaceship is right there, and yet...
I suppose we ought to dive into that hole.

Looks like a dead end...
Let's try somewhere else.

Wh-where are you going?!
We can't abandon the captain!

Oh no! She's surrounded by creatures!

Give Oatchi orders with A!

Give Oatchi orders with A!

Those creatures...
We've got to do something.

Captain!
Do you remember where you fell from?

Hey, there's something under the light...

Gwaaaaaah!

The captain was the only thing in there.

See anything sparkly around here?

This must be how we get more Pikmin!

You should try investigating that sprout.

But how are we going to transport this?

Transport it, transport it!

Let's transport that treasure!

It won't budge...

That's perfect!

We've got this!

Call Pikmin by blowing the whistle with Bhold.

Looks like you can't move that...

I saw a flower with a red center over there.

Looks like you can't move that...

You could get more Pikmin from pellets...

You can select Pikmin with L R...
Then press A to throw them, I believe.

You can select Pikmin with L R...
Then press A to throw them, I believe.

Try aiming at flowers with a red center.
Let's see what happens.

Another treasure collected!
We need to keep this up!

I see something sparkly way up there!

This one looks extra shiny!

Wow, it really sparkles!

The S.S. Shepherd made its emergency landing nearby. Head to the ship first to start looking for the other five Rescue Officers.

We found Captain Shepherd! With the captain here, it feels like there may be some hope for us after all!

It doesn't seem like the other Rescue Officers are close by. If we got the S.S. Shepherd's radar working, you could search for them.

We restarted the S.S. Shepherd using the sparklium extracted from the treasure!

The SOS signals we discovered must be coming from our Rescue Officers. Come talk to me as soon as you're ready.

Our missing Rescue Officers should be in the area. Search every inch of this place until you find them.

You found Russ, the Rescue Corps's talented scientist! Keep searching for the rest of the
Rescue Officers.

Who would have thought there would be others here besides Captain Olimar and the Rescue
Corps? If we find more, we should save them.

You found another unexpected castaway!
Why did they think it was wise to come to an unknown planet? Ah well, keep on looking.

You tracked down our ranger, Dingo! The only
Rescue Officers still out there now are the doctor and the pilot.

Another unknown castaway discovered! Why did so many come to this planet? Better keep searching.

Yet another civilian castaway. Seems like a lot of curious individuals don't know what's best for them. Go on out and continue searching.

You found a strange castaway again! What do you think drew this one here? Well, don't stop searching now.

You rescued our doctor, Yonny! There's only one Rescue Officer left now. Go find our pilot!

If you find other leaflings, bring them here so we can cure them too! We'll find our pilot next.
I'm sure of it!

We found and cured the pilot Bernard.
The Rescue Corps has been reunited!

We've stored up plenty of energy for the
S.S. Shepherd and expanded the radar search area. The engines are ready to go again too!

There's been no sign of Captain Olimar in any of the places we've explored so far. If we gather more energy to expand our radar's range, I'm sure we'll find a clue.

With this much energy, we can increase our radar's output to its maximum. Stop by the
Rescue Command Post!

You discovered a locked bunker! There must be a clue somewhere telling us where to find the code that opens it.

Hmm... Those cards you collected have mysterious symbols on them! I feel like I've seen symbols somewhere else recently...

That leafling was inside the bunker! Could it be Captain Olimar after all?

The leafling is still unconscious. Hurry and bring them safely back to the S.S. Beagle so we can find out if it's truly Captain Olimar.

It's clear the Koppaite veterinarian Nelle is not in any of the areas we've investigated. Collect more energy to expand the search area!

You found a Koppaite! It isn't Nelle, but I hope he can at least help us find her. Let's see what we can learn after he wakes up.

You rescued Nelle's companion Yorke. He may know where she is. As soon as he wakes up, we'll find out what he has to say!

You rescued Nelle's companion Don Bergman.
He may know where she is. As soon as he wakes up, we'll find out what he has to say.

If we're going to pick up an SOS signal from the forest Nelle might be in, we need to get enough energy to increase our radar's range.

The Voyage Log entry found at the entrance to the Cavern for a King suggests Louie and the giant dog are somewhere in the depths of this cave. Let's find them and make Oatchi's cure!

Uh-oh... I've got a bad feeling about this.

We don't know what it's going to do.
Be careful!

OK, it's up to you, Oatchi and
Rescue Officer! Good luck!

Look! The Glow Pikmin have come to see you off.

Do they want to follow you back to the
Rescue Command Post?

Amazing work tonight...as per usual!

Now we can make the cure!

Welcome back from your night expedition!

You did it, Rescue Officer!

Uh...what exactly is he doing in there?

Welcome back from your night expedition!

You did it! Way to go. Now all you've gotta do is rescue the leaflings. Eh, no pressure though, Rescue Officer.

Now we can make the medicine to cure the leaflings.

Now, there's no need to feel discouraged.
You just need to get back out there and harvest some more, that's all.

Dingo, can you assist Rescue Officer out there? Please.

Welcome back from your night expedition!

Um, I think the only person who believes that particular color looks "tasty" is you, Dingo.

Make sure you get a good night's sleep.

Yonny, your "professional opinion" won't mean much if you stay up who-knows-how- late with your nose in a book!

What a surprise though! You met a whole new kind of Pikmin!

Good work!

The search for our pilot starts in earnest now too!

Rescue as many leaflings as you can.
Let's cure them all!

What do you mean?

Oh, interesting. Then, uh, what should we...

Good work!

The search for our pilot starts in earnest now too!

Rescue as many leaflings as you can.
Let's cure them all!

If the next leafling we cure isn't Bernard... what are we going to do?

But we're the Rescue Corps. We can't leave anyone behind.

That's true!

Uh...you think so?

What is a Bernard-like way of growing?

Welcome back from your night expedition!

You did it! That means we can cure
Captain Olimar!

Oof, it was rough out there this time.

I don't get it. Why do Lumiknolls always... well...glow like that?

If they didn't light up, they wouldn't attract so many creatures.

What?! But if they get hurt, they can't make glow sap...or am I missing something here?!

Um...I guess that...makes sense.

No... Dingo... Don't...eat that...no...

Agh!

Oh, um, excuse me! But yes, excellent work there on the night expedition,
Rescue Officer!

Oh, uh, no! I just dozed off for a second, that's all! As always, I'm awake and totally alert for these night expeditions.

You're hearing my transmissions loud and clear, right, Rescue Officer?!

No, it isn't! I'm the Rescue Corps comms operator. I can't sleep on the job!

Besides, I always make sure to take a quick nap before anyone sets out, so I'm fine.

You're telling me it's perfectly OK to drink something THAT color? Really?

Welcome back from your night expedition!

KEE-HEE! Only a fool incapable of grasping the seismic implications of great scientific discoveries would ask such a question!

But...I didn't! I wouldn't! I'd never say something like that! That was...Russ!

Why does nighttime on this planet have to be so...creepy?

No. I'm totally fine with the dark and with nighttime on other planets. It's just...

There's something about this place. It feels like something might jump out and get you at any moment.

Can we please stop talking about this?!

Olimar?! Why are you awake at this hour?

Oh, I'm sorry! Tonight's expedition just wrapped up...

Yes, please—you're welcome to observe anytime you like.

Yonny! You're not conducting experiments on the Glow Pikmin, are you?

And tell me, how did you figure that out?!

What?! How?! What do you mean?

Are they...really Pikmin, then?

I'm...pretty sure there's no amount of training that will make us impervious to fire.

Try switching to divide up roles.

It's not over yet!

Don't take your eyes off the Lumiknoll!

The Lumiknoll is being attacked!
Quick, you have to protect it!

Uh, the creatures... The Tricknoll...

The Tricknoll was wiped out...

You alright, Rescue Officer?
Please rest up until Oatchi wakes you.

And you're sure we have enough emergency rations, Collin?

We have no idea how long we'll be stuck on this planet.

Excuse me, Collin.

Remind me again how I access the
Rescue Journal on the Tablet?

I'm glad to hear that, Collin! Then you won't mind giving the Rescue Pup a nice, long bath. And don't forget to cut his nails.

Collin, could you explain to me how our wireless-communication devices actually work? I'm curious.

I doubt I could actually stay here forever...
Not when Mother is back home waiting.

Wait. What was that, Collin?

What did you say, now?

What now, Yon? Didn't figure you were the type to get homesick.

There's only one thing we can do—rescue them. No matter how many are out there!

And once they're here, I'm confident you'll take good care of them, Collin!

I love the enthusiasm!

Of course, the more rescues we make, the more crowded the Rescue Command
Post will get...

Collin! I need you to further develop and expand the Rescue Command Post!

Kee-hee! Oh, Collin, Collin, Collin... Not only did I see them, I've already completed very thorough research on this material!

I discovered that when heated, the rocks become soft and malleable, and can be shaped into any form you desire.

Its base properties can even change when exposed to different stimuli. It's quite a versatile raw material indeed!

On another note, Collin, do we have any updates on that castaway we picked up today? The one with all the leaves?

Setting up shortcuts seems like a great way to improve your Dandori practice.

Speaking of improvements, Collin, it would be more efficient if you shared such helpful information a lot sooner.

That's right. Her colleague Dobbs says he saw her being carried off by a mysterious giant dog.

I don't know, Collin. I doubt the tales of my misadventures on the job would be any help to the Rescue Corps.

Ha! I know exactly what you mean!
Nothing makes me happier than watching a dog chow down on something they love.

Or when their eyes sparkle when it's time for their walkies. Or how they snuggle up to you, so nice and warm... Their loyalty...

You know what we're talking about.
Right, Collin?

I'm curious, Collin. How is it that you know how to do so many different things?

I could say the same about you, Dobbs!
Now we just have to find Nelle.

The search for her is currently underway, but we could use your help, Mr. Dobbs.
We're in dire need of a lead.

Dobbs?! You're safe!

Then you really were the last person to see her, Dobbs.

I could say the same about you, Dobbs!

D-Dobbs! Quit it! You really want to mess with Nelle when she hasn't eaten?

Our first priority is now the search and rescue of our fellow Rescue Officers.

Rescue Officer! Oatchi!

Fly to the area where our radar picked up those distress signals, and try to track down our missing personnel.

Collin and I will remain with the ship. We'll provide direction and guidance from here.

Collin here. It looks like you're safely inside the structure.

Based on your current location, we were right to conclude that Captain Olimar is in this area.

I found a log associated with your exact coordinates.

Kee-hee! Oh, Collin. Never underestimate the power of science...and forethought!

I've already implemented a direct connection between the radar and our power source to give it some extra oomph!

Dobbs! Oof! Thank goodness he's alive.

Thanks for getting me out of there.
The name's Don Bergman. But a lot of folks just call me Dobbs!

I'm a treasure hunter by trade. Mostly I just travel the galaxy, fighting the good fight on behalf of the little guys.

Good to meet you. So, Dobbs... Do you, by any chance, know a veterinarian who goes by the name of Nelle?

Sorry... I've told you all I know.

But Dobbs might have some more info!

Good morning, officers.

Collin, any updates?

Dobbs and Yorke have both identified
Nelle's possible location.

But in order to pick up her SOS signal, we'll have to update our radar.

SHHH! Stay quiet, Collin!

If Louie is around here, that giant dog won't be far behind.

We need some of its cells to cure Oatchi.
Whatever you do, don't let it get away!

It's alright, Collin. This is how it's meant to be.

Make a record of that area right away, Collin.

Dobbs?! You're safe!

Then you really were the last person to see her, Dobbs.

I could say the same about you, Dobbs!
Now we just have to find Nelle.

The search for her is currently underway, but we could use your help, Mr. Dobbs.
We're in dire need of a lead.

I could say the same about you, Dobbs!

Collin and all the castaways joined forces and worked hard to make this happen.

Immediately upon landing, Rescue Pup Oatchi rushed to greet you.
Together you found Collin unconscious on the ground! When he came to, he explained the rescue team's current predicament. With high hopes of finding the other Rescue Officers, you all set out for the S.S. Shepherd.

Come in, come in... This is Collin. Looks like you made it there in one piece!

Hang on—I'll have the captain explain how today's rescue operation will work.

Oh! I should probably introduce myself.
I'm Collin, communications operator for the Rescue Corps.

What's your status, Collin? Are you OK?

Collin... You look different since the last time I saw you. Did you do something new with your hair?

Get started right away, Collin.

Excellent, Collin! Boot it up, and see if we pick up any signals.

Found Comms Operator Collin!

You met up with Collin, the Rescue Corps's comms operator! That's one down! Now, where could the other Rescue Officers be?

I don't know! Look, that's just what my gut is telling me, OK?! Yon! Cure this one for me tomorrow!

Well, I'm the night-expedition guide, so it's
OK for you to get some sleep, Collin.

Wow, Collin! Really?! That's a bit much, don't you think?

What? Yon, you're into all this ghost hooey? Really?!

Collin's work is flawless...which is why I end up asking him to take on extra tasks that aren't a part of his job description.

I hear that ever since Collin was little, he's spent all of his free time tinkering with machines.

When he joined the Rescue Corps, he was already a highly skilled comms operator.

Collin's ability to assess situations comes so naturally to him. He may be young, but his skills merit our full confidence.

Before Collin joined up, he tried his hand at all sorts of part-time jobs. He wanted to cover his school expenses himself, you see.

Now, thanks to all that experience, he's not only a talented comms operator but handy with all sorts of other tasks too.

That wireless transceiver Collin uses... it's quite an antique. It was passed down to him by his grandfather.

Needless to say, it's very important to him.
Whenever it breaks, he replaces the parts himself and just keeps on using it.

I hear that ever since Collin was little, he's spent all of his free time tinkering with machines.

When he joined the Rescue Corps, he was already a highly skilled comms operator.

The rapid and reliable accumulation of sparklium is a task that Collin and the captain constantly pester me about.

So I'm adding a sensor to the Treasure
Gauge that amplifies the smallest of signal spikes. That should keep them at bay!

Give me a shout whenever you feel like going out for a night expedition.

Collin's great, but belieeeve me, you'll need my expertise when you're out there, lost in the dark, eheh.

Don't you think the Glow Pikmin's flowers remind you of glorious fireworks?

Sometimes Collin lets us watch footage of
Rescue Corps missions.

But I still wish I could see those buds with my very own eyes.

You know the comms guy, Collin? He's pretty handy to have around. Very detail oriented.

He's not one for physical labor, but his project-management skills are legit. And his eyes light up when he sees a machine.

Kaia calls me "Meeki." It's been a while since I've had a fun nickname like that.

Sheeba gets upset with her. She insists it isn't respectful enough, but personally,
I kind of like it.

Ms. Mika goes so easy on Kaia! I mean, Kaia calls her by a nickname. Like, "Hey, Meeki.
How's it going?" It's so inappropriate!

In fact, she calls her that so much,
I'm afraid I'm going to slip and call her that too!

I'm glad to hear my fellow Planetary
Science Club members, Sheeba, Keesh, and even Meeki, are doing OK.

Last time I saw 'em, Sheeba was angry and screaming into the void, and Keesh was just quietly smiling...

Meeki let us escape first, and we had to leave her behind... It must've been awful.

Meeki is the supervisor of our club. We asked her to come with us so it could be, like, an "official" club activity.

Sheeba won this trip for the students as part of a raffle, so Meeki's the only one who paid out of pocket to come.

Sheeba gets annoyed with me for calling our supervisor "Meeki." She says it's disrespectful, and she's probably right.

But "Ms. Mika" is so formal, you know?
It's just not my style.

I was able to survive after the ship crashed thanks to Dobbs.

He used to be a ranger and is an expert when it comes to survival skills!

When Dobbs is feeling cheery, he's been known to share stories about his time as a ranger.

He had a partner he called Ducky. Some days they were best buds. Other days...
Well, things weren't so ducky.

When we're searching for treasures,
I provide backup for Dobbs.

Kind of like Collin does for you.

Dobbs got that scar on his brow during his time as a ranger. He says that Ducky
"got him real good."

If I was going to guess, I'd bet that he and
Ducky smacked their heads together while lunging for the same piece of food.

Dobbs started out as a solo treasure hunter. It wasn't until later that Yorke began helping him.

I'm sure he must have seen his fair share of danger when he was on his own.
