Olimar's Shipwreck Tale

This is Captain Olimar of the S.S. Dolphin.

I am currently stranded on an unknown planet, trying to recover the ship parts that were lost during the crash.

My space suit's life-support system will only last about...15 more days.

So I must repair the S.S. Dolphin and escape from this planet before it expires.

To find the missing ship parts, I'll enlist the help of the Pikmin...

I've just discovered the most beautiful area... There's something magical about these pink petals falling from the sky.

I shall call this place Blossoming Arcadia.

Silly me! This is no time to get all sentimental. I have to keep looking for those ship parts.

I seem to have stumbled across this planet's sea—or one of them. But where are the waves? It's so peaceful.

I'll call this place...Serene Shores.

It will take a while to explore the area with all this water. I'll need a proper strategy to find all my ship parts.

Oh! What is this creature?

It doesn't look like it's going to attack...
Is something the matter with it?

Perhaps it's hungry? There may be something in my pack that I could feed it...

Oh! It looks like you thought that was yummy! I'm glad to see you've perked up.

This creature reminds me of a dog.
It seems to be quite taken with me.

And I'm taken with that fascinating green fur... I think I'll name you...Moss.

Aha! Look! It's a part from the S.S. Dolphin!

That's one down! Let's hope I can keep up this pace and collect the rest of the parts just as quickly!

Excellent! Now I can use the S.S. Dolphin to broaden our search.

OK! After all these repairs, the engine output should allow us to go even further!

I'm starting to see the faintest glimmer of hope!

At last! I've collected all the ship parts in this area.

I'm only a few pieces away from a fully repaired S.S. Dolphin.

I suppose tomorrow I'll explore a new area to locate the remaining parts.

I've done it... I've done it! The S.S. Dolphin is fully repaired!

Finally! I'll be able to escape this planet!

The time has come to head home! I'm going back to Hocotate...back to my family.

Time flies, doesn't it? Better get back to the S.S. Dolphin before dark.

I think I'll call it a day here.

Huh? There's a problem with the Pikmin...
Can't they go any further?

It looks like Moss isn't able to go any further. I need to do something.

Well, this is a problem. I can't move any further.

Nooo! The Pikmin...they're...

No, no! The Pikmin are...

I guess I'm back to square one...

Oh no! The Pikmin are...

And no others are coming out of the Onion either. If only I could turn back the clock...

Grm... No... Not here...

Moss... Meet me back at the S.S. Dolphin...

Oh no! Moss! You're...

I'm sorry, Moss... I'll pick you up later, OK?

I was so very close... If only I knew how to turn back the clock.

It's the Interstellar Radio! We located it at last!

With this back in my possession, I can finally call for help!

Huh? When did that creature show up?

Could it be the reason why the Pikmin and the Onion are acting so weird?

Thank goodness! The Pikmin and Onion seem to be back to normal.

Now it's time to transport that precious
Interstellar Radio!

My life-support system will run out in 3 days.

I can't afford to dillydally.

My life-support system will run out in 3 days.

There's no point in panicking. I need to keep a clear head and search for the ship parts, one step at a time...

Just 2 days left... I might need to pick up the pace.

Tomorrow my time will be up... Today I'll just focus on this area.

The day has come. After today, my life- support system will no longer be able to sustain me.

Even if I'm unable to gather all the missing ship parts, I'll have to take my chances and launch into space regardless.

At this point, I have no choice.

The day has come. After today, my life- support system will no longer be able to sustain me.

Even if I'm unable to gather all the missing ship parts, I'll have to take my chances and launch into space regardless.

I wish I could go back to that pivotal day...
Wouldn't that be nice?

The takeoff was a success.
But as I exited this planet's atmosphere...

I realized that Moss had snuck onto the ship, and she was clearly suffering.

I rushed to turn the ship around and tried to land.

But at that very moment, my life-support system failed.

I attempted a takeoff with the S.S. Dolphin still in disrepair.

But despite my desperate hopes and optimism, it came crashing down yet again.

Collect Missing Ship Parts

I must collect # ship parts in order to repair the S.S. Dolphin, or at least increase the engine's output significantly.

If I want to expand my search area, I will need to collect # ship parts.

I'll need # ship parts to increase the S.S.
Dolphin's flight radius. That's quite...a lot.

Once I have # ship parts in my possession,
I should finally be able to get off this planet!

Collect All Ship Parts

Huh? The Pikmin must be blocked...

Something is blocking the Pikmin's way.

You OK, Moss? Can't you get past here?

Moss is blocked and can't move ahead.

Huh? Looks like Moss is a little confused...

Moss cannot carry this object any further.

So I can't go any further than this...

Oh no, Moss...
We'll meet up at the base later, buddy.

Olimar was knocked out.
Return to the base to wake him up.

That Emergency Kit saved my life...

Huzzah! I'm feeling fit as a fiddle.

That was close... Too close.

The Pikmin have been decimated...
I need to get back to the Onion.

Return to the Onion to get more Pikmin.

The Pikmin were wiped out...

The Pikmin have been depleted.

Aaah! I'm sorry, Pikmin...

Oh no! Poor Pikmin...

I'm sorry, dear Pikmin.

Pikmin have been lost.

What? Did I just hear a Pikmin's cry?

Huh? Was that a Pikmin I heard?

A Pikmin's met its end...

You lost Pikmin.

No! The...the Pikmin...
I wish we could turn back time...

So many casualties...

To lose that many Pikmin...
If only I could turn back time.

You've lost a lot of Pikmin.
To rewind time, press −.

Hmm, seems there's no use.

Hmph. Didn't even make a dent.

It can't be broken this way. Alas...

That's not going to work.

It's time I remove these outdated pins...

You can place up to 3 pins at once.
Remove pins that are no longer needed.

There's a part here too!

Thank goodness! Another ship part!

Over there! A ship part!

Another ship part! This gives me hope.

This part's not too worse for wear...

You discovered a ship part.

That's 5 down...

I'm far from done, but I won't give up!

Only 10 more to go! Just one last push!

Yes! Now I can send the distress signal!

Hmm, what's this?
It looks like a Yellow Onion.

You discovered a Yellow Onion.

Oh, what do we have here?
Could it be...a Blue Onion?!

You discovered a Blue Onion.

What's this?
Could it be a type of Onion?

Oh! Here's another one.
I should bring it back and examine it.

Excellent! Another flarlic!

Aha! With this I can withdraw more Pikmin!

You discovered Onion.

Yellow Pikmin?!
I wonder what's different about them...

You met a Yellow Pikmin.

Blue Pikmin! Interesting.
I should try to increase their numbers.

You met a Blue Pikmin.

This is a good spot to land the S.S. Dolphin.

The S.S. Dolphin can't land here right now.

This area is not ready to use as a base.

Uh-oh. This escalated quickly...

What's wrong, Moss? You OK?

Moss has gotten herself into a scuffle!

Urgh... This might be it for me...

Moss is on the verge of collapse!

Moss is running low on HP.

Huh?! I can blow on my whistle to fix this.

Huh?! I can blow on my whistle to fix this.

Use Bhold to call your Pikmin!

I believe I have Pikmin sprouts to pluck...

Oops! I forgot all about my Pikmin sprouts!

It's time I checked on my Pikmin sprouts...

Pikmin sprouts are waiting to be plucked.

Ack! I've already investigated this area.
I wish I could start this day all over again...

The Pikmin are unable to transport this!
What's that creature doing to them?

Why can't they transport this?

I can get that from my pack with Yhold + L stick.

With Yhold + L stick, use Items in your pack.

Good girl, Moss! You made it back to me!

Go, Moss! Follow that scent!

I guess there are no scents to track here.

Nothing to smell here.

Excellent! No stray Pikmin out there!

Good. There are no stray Pikmin, then!

So that's where the scent is coming from!

We can't track the scent past here...

Moss! Are you OK?!

Not good. We're out of raw materials.
We can't build until we get some more.

You're out of raw materials.

That creature looks pretty tough...
I'll need Ultra-Spicy Spray for this.

This is a good time to use a bomb...

Nice hiding spot.

Wha— Is that thing eating a ship part?

Where are those missing ship parts?
Maybe we could track their scents!

I've found quite a few of my Pikmin.
Better start looking for those ship parts...

Final Day

1

The S.S. Dolphin can now travel further afield. I should look for parts in that unexplored region.

The rest of the parts should be in this structure. Once I find them all, I can escape this planet!

There are a few places around here that I still need to check out. Perhaps I should keep exploring the area for a bit longer.

I'm sure I've found all the ship parts around here, but I have a feeling there's more to uncover. Perhaps an Onion or something?

I've seen all there is to see here. I believe it's time I focused my energy on finding the rest of the parts in another area.

I must find all the remaining ship parts and take off before the day's over. No time for dawdling, I fear.

I only have 1 day left... It feels like I'm pinning all my hopes on what happens here today.
I need to find the remaining parts!

Well, it's all come down to this. Tomorrow my life-support system will fail.

Is it possible? Will I be able to collect all the remaining ship parts in 1 day?

The only thing I know for sure is that I can't give up! I still have one last day, and
I will keep searching until the very end.

Well, it's all come down to this. Tomorrow my life-support system will fail.

Thankfully, a fully repaired S.S. Dolphin is in reach. If I stay calm and keep collecting parts, I may be able to escape this planet!

Today I made a new friend—Moss.

I've never encountered this strange breed of dog, but we quickly bonded. At this very moment, she's asleep by my side.

It's comforting to have Moss and the
Pikmin with me... With their help, my search for ship parts is sure to go well.

Hurrah! I collected my first ship part!

If I keep finding them at this rate, I won't have any trouble escaping this planet!

With that in mind, I can't risk wasting even a single leftover component while I'm repairing the S.S. Dolphin.

I may be able to combine them with some of the junk I have in storage to make gear and items to aid in my search!

I only have 2 days left to complete my search...and I'm still missing quite a few ship parts.

But I refuse to give up!

I must've overlooked something or some place. Tomorrow I will keep a close eye on the Radar Map to find the missing parts.

I only have 2 days left to complete my search...but I'm happy to report that the
S.S. Dolphin repairs are almost complete!

There's no time for laxness! I need to stay focused and keep my eye on the Radar
Map if I want to find the remaining parts.

Only 3 days remain... So far, my efforts to collect the ship parts haven't gone so well.

But I won't let anything keep me from my family! I have to keep trying, no matter how much time I have left.

Only 3 days remain...and my efforts to collect all my ship parts are paying off!

If I can keep collecting the parts I need at this rate, I'll be home soon enough!

Excellent news! The repairs made to the
S.S. Dolphin have made it possible to fly to more distant areas.

As a result, my search radius has also expanded quite a bit! For now, I need to go about this search strategically...

Huzzah! The S.S. Dolphin's engine output has increased, and it can fly even higher!

Maybe tomorrow I'll extend my search to a new area...

At long last, my goal of collecting all the missing S.S. Dolphin parts is within reach.

According to the S.S. Dolphin's radar, the last pieces are inside some kind of giant structure...

My life-support system is reaching its limit. This is my last chance.

Though I didn't collect a single ship part,
I need to remain patient. One must always explore carefully and thoughtfully.

I should reference the Radar Map while I search to check for nearby parts.

Today I put in a hard day's work.
I wonder how everyone at Hocotate
Freight is doing...

Sometimes I find myself questioning whether I'll ever be able to escape this planet.

Then I remember my family is still waiting for me back at home... I would bear any hardship to see them again.

Pikmin combine the growth rate of plants and the mobility of animals.

As individuals they may appear weak, but when acting together, their species is quite indomitable.

The creatures of this planet breathe a deadly poisonous gas: oxygen. At present, my space suit can filter the oxygen out.

But if the batteries for my life-support system should fail... I shudder to even think about it.

The repairs to my spaceship are progressing, little by little.

It's funny. This ship feels like an extension of my own body... Perhaps a clunky arm?
I need to fix it so we can escape together.

I wonder why the plants on this planet are so large in size when compared to the creatures.

Perhaps, in the far distant past, there lived enormous creatures whose existence is beyond the stretch of my imagination.

Perhaps the collision with the meteor that led to my shipwreck was my fault. Could I have been more cautious? Yet...

When the S.S. Dolphin crashed onto this planet, I felt another force—a force aside from gravity—was at work.

Proper planning is essential in both my day job and in my search for missing parts. Tomorrow, the work continues.

If any of my tasks can be done tomorrow, then I won't be doing them tonight.
I promised myself a good night's sleep.

When things go wrong, I must remember that means I'll do it that much better the next time. Or, at least, I hope I will.

I just need to focus on the small wins I achieve every day. Add them all up, and they should equal a successful escape.

This is Captain Olimar!

I'm currently stranded on an unknown planet in the far reaches of space.

Please send help...as fast as you can!

...

I can only hope this distress signal reaches the Rescue Corps...
