Prologue
Wait! Where are you running off to?
First, I need to look for the Pikmin...
I'll have to collect more Pikmin...
Now, if we follow this scent...
It's time to focus on finding that ship part!
I need to collect that ship part quickly.
The Onion's also acting strange...
Use Xhold to Rush!
OK, just aim using L stick.
Then sound the whistle by pressing B.
I better call the Pikmin back.
We should search the area below...
No parts around here.
Hmm... Nothing here.
I'm not finding anything.
Let's see where this scent takes us...
Don't look before you leap!
At least I have a few more Pikmin now!
Good! I have over 50 Pikmin now.
Time to track the ship part's scent...
I have plenty of Pikmin now...
But where are those ship parts?
What a relief! I've found all my Pikmin!
Now I just need to find my missing parts!
Using R stick helps keep track of the scent.
I can't lose the scent now!
One good Rush could break those!
You can't hide from me...
I knew I'd find you here!
Aha! Found you!
Did that grass just...move?
Feel that gust of wind!
I can't see much right now...
I'll try looking around with R stick.
I can't see much... I'll move around with L stick.
I can always press SL to face forward.
Could those Pikmin be playing?
I wonder what's behind this...
Let's Rush with Xhold and check it out.
Ah... They were trapped inside.
I just tap X to Jump over small ledges!
This area has some complex terrain...
I need to change my perspective with R stick.
Here are more!
I'll use Bhold to call them back.
Look at this gap underneath...
I can take a peek with R stick.
I hear voices... I can check the area with R stick.
Huh? Do I hear voices up there?
Made it to the top. I'll look around with R stick.
There's something curious up there...
They're hiding here too.
I hear something... I'll use R stick to take a peek.
Something up there's making a racket...
Huh?! Let's get them down with a Rush.
I should tap X to Jump and climb up.
Do I want to know what's up here...
We'll get that thing and take back my part!
Use Xhold to Rush now!
I wish I had more Pikmin with me...
Keep running while charging up with Xhold!
At the right time, let's Rush it with Xhold!
I've got to get that part back!
I'm not a fan of those spikes.
Time to Rush by using Xhold!
This creature looks pretty tough.
Maybe I should find a few more Pikmin.
Yes! This is going to work!
Ugh, these spikes keep getting in the way!
Almost there... We can do this!
No! I've lost Pikmin...
I need to call the Pikmin with Bhold now!
Awww... Those poor Pikmin.
You don't have a lot of Pikmin left.
You can press − to rewind time.
Tutorial
I command a spaceship called the S.S. Dolphin.
This is the story of how I crashed onto an unknown planet...
and how I was ultimately rescued.
After the crash, I woke up to find my ship was in pieces, scattered everywhere.
I had no way of returning home to my beloved family.
I thought I was doomed...
until I encountered a strange species, which I named Pikmin.
The Pikmin had an innate desire or will to carry objects.
With their help, I was able to find and transport my missing ship parts.
Time passed, and I met yet another mysterious creature.
It appeared to be malnourished...
so I tossed over a treat.
After that, we quickly bonded.
She is a steadfast partner in the quest to find the missing pieces of my spaceship.
A quest that was nearing its end...
We arrived at the last area we had left to explore.
What is this place?
Something about this area is different from the others we've explored so far...
That can't be a good sign. The Pikmin don't usually scurry off like that.
I suppose I'll have to call them back while I search for the missing ship parts.
I saw some of the Pikmin head this way.
They could be hiding behind those things.
Let's break them and see.
When we jump, I'll start charging up my pup's strength...
I just need to press X and holdhold down, then take aim. When she's at full strength,
I'll let go and let her Rush!
Aha! I knew it!
Now I'll use Bhold to call them back to me with my whistle.
I just wish I knew why the Pikmin ran away and hid in the first place...
Hmm. I better make a note of this in my
Voyage Log.
Record in Log
Record Later
You never know when this kind of information will prove useful. Now, how to phrase it...
No, no. I'll save future Olimar the trouble and record it while it's fresh in my mind.
I need to find my missing ship parts, but it will be much easier if I have more
Pikmin to help me.
OK, there has to be a ship part around here somewhere...
This is the perfect situation to rely upon my pup's powerful nose. Track down one of those ship parts, girl!
We need to stay on that scent...
A creature?!
I don't see any ship parts... Could that thing have swallowed one whole?!
Those spiky things are going to make this tough. I have to find an opening...
Maybe I should use Xhold to build up energy so we can Rush the creature when the time is right...
In the meantime, let's circle it and wait for a chance to strike!
It's the Interstellar Radio! We located it at last!
With this back in my possession, I can finally call for help!
I had recovered the Interstellar Radio!
So I immediately sent out an SOS signal...
and attached the latest version of my Voyage Log.
Days and weeks passed.
But one month later...
my signal reached the Rescue Corps.
They took off toward this remote planet with noble plans to bring me home safe.
Unfortunately, fate had other ideas.
The Rescue Officers sent to rescue me crash-landed during their arrival.
Double shipwrecks are rare... and extremely unlucky.
At this point, you might think that all hope was lost.
But there was one last Rescue Officer left at Rescue Corps HQ. A rookie. You.
That's right. You are my last hope.
Not only my fate...
but the fate of the Rescue Corps...
rest in the hands of one inexperienced adventurer.
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...
What happened?
Oh no!
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.

But if you press − twice and select
Shortcut Settings, you can assign a different function to stick if necessary.
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—
This is no time for a history lesson!
Hurry up and do something!
Phew. Now we can relax a bit.
Captain, we took care of the creatures down here. Can you get down?
I hope so. My arms are almost numb I've been hanging on so long. OK, I can do this.
What's your status, Collin? Are you OK?
Shouldn't I be asking you that? I'm just relieved to see you're alright.
Oh—you! I haven't seen you since rookie training camp. I'm Captain Shepherd of the
Rescue Corps, if you don't remember.
Did you order Oatchi to get rid of those creatures all by yourself,
Rescue Officer? Huh.
Oatchi's not supposed to obey anyone but me...
Guess that rookie training paid off after all, didn't it?
You know, the first time I saw you in training, I had a feeling you'd make a top-notch dog trainer.
Sorry to interrupt, Captain, but, uh...
What were you doing down here, anyway?
While exploring the surface, I discovered a suspicious hole. I leaned over to take a look inside...and fell right in.
I wandered around this cave, trying to find an exit, when I came up on those icky, slimy creatures...
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!
Well then, what are we waiting around here for?
Let's get back to the S.S. Shepherd!
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!
Copy that!
Understood!
Very good! Excellent reply.
Hmm... I'm sure you're just nervous. This is your first official mission, after all.
It'll all come naturally to you soon enough.
Don't worry.
That said, you'll need to review the Rescue
Corps Rescue Journal for your upcoming missions. It's essential to our work.
You'll be able to access them via your
Tablet as the need arises, so put them to good use while out in the field.
Since Oatchi and you have bonded,
I officially approve of your partnership.
I'll be observing you both to see what skills you have as a Rescue Pup trainer!
There! That's where I fell in!
My word... To think you survived a fall from that height...
But more importantly, how are we supposed to climb up there?
Excuse me, Rescue Officer.
I suggest you exercise a bit more caution when encountering something unfamiliar.
Maybe don't just...touch it.
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.
Noted! Then let's consider the investigation of this cave complete.
I hope this experience will help you prepare for the challenges inherent to our work.
There are lives depending on us.
But you both did good work today.
Well done, Rescue Officer and Oatchi!
I guess we're just going to skip right over the fact that we had to rescue the captain herself...
Collin... You look different since the last time I saw you. Did you do something new with your hair?
I don't think so. I've been a bit busy trying to, you know...stay alive.
Of course. And good for you. You did it!
Well, here she is. The S.S. Shepherd!
Is that...smoke pouring out of the
S.S. Shepherd?
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!
What?! Oh no! Will it be OK?!
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.
I'm skeptical...
But at this point, we have nothing to lose.
This may be our only chance.
So from this point on, we have a new mission! Find and collect all the sparkly objects we can!
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.
It looks like the perfect spot for a base of operations. Call the ship over!
S.S. Beagle repositioning successful!
Good. Our preparations are complete.
Let's find that treasure!
What's this?!
Is it a treasure?
Huh?! It moved! I don't think it's 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.
If this is an Onion, then what is that sprout?
Oh my! I think this could be a Pikmin!
According to Captain Olimar's Voyage Log, they're friendly and helpful creatures.
W-well then... Maybe they could help us while we explore and look for treasure...
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?
What?! More sprouts!
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.
There's something intriguing about those sprouts. I think we should get a closer look.
What a mysterious life-form...
Is this what I think it is?!
This has to be a treasure! Just look at the way it sparkles!
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.
Excellent work! I'm going to take this auspicious start as a good sign.
But, um... How are we going to move it?
That was close. Too close.
This treasure is large. How can we physically collect something this big?
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.
Yes! Energy detected!
If we can collect # more units of sparklium, we may be able to restart the S.S. Shepherd.
But the S.S. Shepherd is supposed to run on high-octane energy... Will this work?
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.
Then we need to search the area for more treasure!
Huzzah!
Thanks a bunch!
Copy that!
Yes, yes. Keep up the good work!
You nailed it that time! Of course, this isn't quite the right occasion for a "copy that"...
But good effort, Rescue Officer!
The Pikmin are very obedient. They move and work like tiny Rescue Pups.
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!
Then we don't have a moment to lose.
Time to get rescuing!
That's...interesting. The ship is automatically naming the objects?
We encounter unknown objects and elements on our missions all the time, so I had a naming AI installed on our new ships.
Apparently it was cocreated by a famous appraiser. It's more sophisticated than I expected. Pretty impressive!
It is neat, but a backup power source probably would have been more helpful.
Search for the missing Rescue Officers!
Oatchi is trying to tell you something.
Oatchi is trying to get your attention.
You found someone in need of rescuing!
Begin rescue operations at once!
Use Bhold to call Oatchi with the whistle.
Looks like Oatchi is waiting for directions.
Send Oatchi to complete a task with A.
Send Oatchi to complete a task with A.
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!
Hurry up and help me already!
Give Oatchi orders with A!
Those creatures...
We've got to do something.
Captain!
Do you remember where you fell from?
Hmm... There was a light from above...
Quite the conundrum...
What would you do, Rescue Officer?
Use Xhold to Rush at breakable things!
That was quite a Rush!
I remember this area...
Hey, there's something under the light...
I'm not sure what that thing is.
Please proceed with caution!
Gwaaaaaah!
That area's been fully explored.
The captain was the only thing in there.
Let's try somewhere else!
See anything sparkly around here?
Try looking around the area with R stick.
Good job, Oatchi!
Carry it just like that!
This must be how we get more Pikmin!
Whoa, that's a lot of Pikmin...
You should try investigating that sprout.
But how are we going to transport this?
OK, let's transport it to the S.S. Beagle.
Alright, time to get this thing moving.
Transport it, transport it!
Let's transport that treasure!
It won't budge...
Excellent! It's on the move!
That's perfect!
Good, we're almost there!
We're almost at # units...
We've got this!
Call Pikmin by blowing the whistle with Bhold.
Are there any stray Pikmin?
Looks like you can't move that...
If only you had a few more Pikmin...
I saw a flower with a red center over there.
Looks like you can't move that...
If only you had a few more Pikmin...
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!
Some kind of impact might make it fall...
Oatchi, can you give it a good Rush?
It looks heavy. Oatchi can't carry it alone.
We could really use more hands here...
Is there a way to get more Pikmin?
Combine Oatchi and the Pikmin's strength!
It doesn't look like you can reach that.
Could you reach it if you threw Pikmin?
Give Oatchi the order to carry it.
It has to be transported to the S.S. Beagle.
All the dirt has been removed!
While exploring
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.
No need to be entering caves at this hour.
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.
Your Pikmin have been wiped out!
Get back to the base to regroup.
It's about time for a break!
Head to the surface, and come back later.
Getting tired?
Head back to the surface to take a break.
Poor little Pikmin...
More Pikmin lost...
Oh no! The Pikmin...
Wait... Was that a Pikmin's cry just now?!
Huh? Did a Pikmin just meet its end?!
Somewhere out there...we lost a Pikmin.
Yikes! So many Pikmin lost!
This is bad! To lose so many Pikmin...
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...
What a relief! Your HP has been restored!
Kee-hee! Enjoying that Emergency Kit?
Aw! Oatchi's transport has been halted.
Uh-oh. The Pikmin are having trouble...
You can't go any further, OK?
You can't carry that past here!
Ready to call the Pikmin out of the Onion?
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.
Are you using the Radar Map?
Press + to look at unexplored locations.
I can't even see the bottom of this cave...
Wouldn't want to fall down there.
It's way too dark down here.
If only you had a Headlamp...
Kee-hee! It was wise to bring a Headlamp!
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?
Is that the Pikmin that were carried away?
Quick, use Bhold to wake them!
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?
Follow the scent, Oatchi!
Hmm... He's not picking up on anything.
Good! There are no stray Pikmin about.
I'm not seeing any stray Pikmin.
So that's the source of the scent!
So the scent leads to the next sublevel...
The scent's coming from inside the cave.
We can't follow the scent from here...
Oatchi! Are you OK?!
Oatchi seems frightened...
Maybe you need to try somewhere else.
Wait! Oatchi can't take any new orders!
First, drop the Pikmin off on land.
Huh?! There must be a castaway nearby!
Quick! Give Oatchi a Scrummy Bone!
Oatchi! Now's the time to retreat!
Look at that tail wagging!
Very good. He's back to his old self!
This guy's pretty big... Be careful!
Excellent work. Keep it up as you proceed!
You were able to defeat it somehow...
Next time, try not to lose any more Pikmin.
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!
Eek! That hazy stuff is dangerous!
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!
It's no use. We have to retreat!
I just wish we could reset the clock...
It's no use. We have to retreat!
Aha! It's shown itself!
This is our chance!
Why aren't the attacks working?!
Throw your Purple Pikmin toward it!
That'll rile it up!
There's got to be a way to provoke it...
I've got it! Use Purple Pikmin!
Why won't it freeze?! Ridiculous!
Not even a Lightning Shock will work?!
Call them back! Quickly!
Hitting the white doesn't do any good...
Stay calm and aim for the yolk!
Oh no! Call the Pikmin back! Quick!
They're frozen in there?
You need to break that ice!
Is there a way to remove its inner core?
Wonderful! Now's our chance!
It's no use! The scales are too tough.
Jeez! Why can't we find its weak point?
Ohhh, look closely at its belly...
Perhaps you can flip it over somehow!
There you go! That knocked it off-balance!
You got this! Just one last try!
You're one charge away! Good luck!
I knew that belly was its soft spot!
Now! Go for it!
Yessiree! This is your chance!
It's too tough. You can't get through that.
There has to be a weak point somewhere.
So it can't spew rocks without enough air?
Do we have anything to block that hole?
Once it starts inhaling, throw the Pikmin!
The shell's open! It's throw time!
Look! Its weak spot is on full display!
Move around to the back!
Ack! It beat us to it!
Don't just let it walk off with that!
Hurry up and get it back!
OK! Looks like it's tug-of-war time!
Muster your strength and pull them back!
Ack! It beat us to it!
Don't just let it walk off with that!
Hurry up and get it back!
You can't lose this round of tug-of-war.
They just took it! That's unacceptable!
The tip of that tail looks vulnerable...
Alright! This is your moment!
Now! Hit them with all you've got!
Aim for the tail! That's the weak point.
Are you free to chat real quick?
Don't forget! I need more raw materials.
Schnauz would like to speak with you.
There's something I'd like to chat about.
Stop by later, OK?
My latest invention will go down in history!
I've completed another new invention!
With science, the possibilities are endless!
Kee-HEE! A new invention is brewing...
You're all set to learn some new skills.
Ready for some more training?
It seems we've run out of raw materials...
The Pikmin are waiting at the S.S. Beagle.
The Pikmin need raw materials to continue.
So find more or return to the base.
The stash of raw materials is depleted!
You can place up to 3 pins at a time.
Find outdated pins and remove with Y.
You can use R stick to take a look around.
Check out your surroundings with R stick.
Feel lost? Alter your perspective with R stick.
Look! A good spot for the S.S. Beagle.
Yep. This spot is big enough to be a base.
Call over the S.S. Beagle from here!
The S.S. Beagle can't land here right now.
You can't use this as a base 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.
You're pretty good at collecting energy!
More sparklium?!
Soon we can increase the radar's range!
You've collected a whole lot of sparklium...
But we need even more, so don't let up!
This machinery looks complicated.
I need to carefully observe its operations.
Can the moving walkways be reversed?
Time those directional changes wisely...
Hmm. You won't get much further now.
Can you meet up with Oatchi somehow?
Unbreakable, it would seem. Too bad...
Didn't even leave a scratch.
We need another way to tackle this.
This Onion certainly is heavy.
Look how all the Pikmin work together!
There are so many types of Pikmin!
Anyone else starting to feel hungry?
What a nice place to watch the sunset...
Eek. That creature even made me sweat!
Is this treasure from a past civilization?
This would be a nice place to have a picnic.
Thank goodness we have Pikmin here.
The possibilities just got a lot cooler!
Now I'm kind of craving a sandwich...
Does that carrot look like a Pikmin to you?
Yaaawn... I had the weirdest dream...
That squad of yours has really grown.
Who would bury something like that?
Head to the Rescue Command Post ASAP.
Whose spaceship is that?!
Know a good base for night expeditions?
Or think you can find one?
We should explore this base again at night.
Rescue Officer is in danger!
You better not lose, Oatchi!
Now, Oatchi! Get 'em!
Rescue Officer is in serious danger!
Um, try to calm him down with the whistle!
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.
Try to use bombs on tough creatures too.
Careful, now! Time to call them back!
Oh no! They'll be sucked in!
That approach doesn't seem to work...
Hmm... Its face looks kind of soft.
It's no use. We're not making any progress.
See any vulnerable spots?
Gulp... I've got a bad feeling about this.
Here it comes again! Run!
No! Didn't you just defeat that thing?
It revives itself when touching the spores!
Try to get it before it touches any spores.
Ah! Hurry up and call them back!
Oh no! It's rolling your way!
You don't want to get squashed by that...
They just keep on coming...
All we can do now is take out the source.
The Pikmin froze?!
It looks like that cocoon is made of ice...
You broke the cocoon!
Throw the Pikmin! Now!
It ran away! Go after it!
Well, shucks. The fire went out!
Keep your eye on the fire as you move!
Now's your chance!
Go for it! It's defenseless!
Aim for the eyes!
See that soft belly?
It flipped over! Now's your chance!
It's imperative to get the lay of the land.
Scope things out with your Survey Drone.
Check out the area with the Survey Drone.
Check out the area with the Survey Drone.
Fend that thing off with Ultra-Spicy Spray!
Distract the green dog with Pikpik Carrots!
Lie in wait for them with your mines.
Kee-hee! There's that blasted creature!
Give it a taste of a bomb!
That wall's made of something tough...
But a bomb would make easy work of it!
Use your Glow Seeds to grow Glow Pikmin!

More Pikmin, to be specific.
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!

It's got all sorts of exploration tips.
Exhaustion is the enemy of logic.
Getting proper rest is part of the job.
Hello? Can you read me?
Sorry. I was away from my post for a bit.
Need to reorganize your squad?
First use Yhold + L stick to disband it.
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?
I bet the Yellow Pikmin could reach...
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's so muddy you can't see the bottom!
Keep going, but...try not to get stuck.
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.
There's a cave up here!
Treasure or not, these petals are lovely.
This area is clearly not a natural feature.
I wonder who could have built it...
It's like...a giant.
I think this is some kind of hearth...
How big were the creatures that used it?
Is that thing some sort of machine...
But how exactly do you operate it?
That sticky mold is everywhere!
Don't lose your footing around here.
Plucked those Pikmin sprouts yet?
There are some Pikmin sprouts waiting.
Don't forget to pluck them later!
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's easy to return to a sublevel.
Go there directly from the cave's entrance.
It doesn't look like it's going to attack...
Perhaps it's too busy looking for Pikmin?
Uh-oh! That pup has woken up.
The pup's regained consciousness.
I'd take care if I were you.
It's no use. You need to change tactics.
Try to locate its weak point.
Is there some way to flip it over?
This is it! Go for it!
The belly seems like a good target!
No, no. The fur is too fluffy!
We have to look for its weak spot.
There we go! It's showing its belly!
Yes! Now act fast!
I've got a bad feeling about this...
Ack! Get out of the way!
Here it comes!
Look alive!
Uh-oh. I think you made it mad.
Take care of those electric fur balls!
Get rid of those troublesome fur balls!
Is there a way to put out those fur balls?
Destroy those fur balls before it's too late!
Aim for the tail! Get it on the ground!
What?! It can FLY?!
Find a way to make it stay still...
Hide behind a rock!
It lowered its tail!
Aim for the tail! It's the pup's weak spot!
Press ZR to engage Auto Target Lock!
Use your Auto Target Lock, and take aim!
Oh... The Pikmin didn't make it.
The Pikmin were wiped out...
The Pikmin... Annihilated...
Not a single Pikmin remains...
It'll be tough to keep exploring like this.
The Pikmin are gone...
You'll have to explore that cave again.
Ugh! The Pikmin have been lost!
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...
Farewell, Pikmin! Thank you for everything!
I don't think you can pull it from here.
Try it from the other side.
Look! That sprout has a new color!
It's so high... Could we use Yellow Pikmin?
Are you all done down here?
If so, you can make your way to the exit!
You can Rush against the moving walkway!
Have you lost track of any Pikmin?
Check the Radar Map and retrieve them!
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.
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.
See the clock at the top-left corner of your screen?
It's set up so that the hand will reach the right-most edge at the area's local sunset time.
Search for our missing Rescue Officers during the day, but hustle back to the
Rescue Command Post before dark.
Copy that!
We're counting on you!
I'm on the job!
Try to remember that you're supposed to respond with "copy that"! Anyway, get out there and make us proud.
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.
We've got a lot to do and can take all the help we can get. I think you could put those Pikmin to good use.
Come in, Rescue Officer.
I forgot an important detail. That is, you're going to need Oatchi's help when it comes to searching for the Rescue Officers.
He has a sharp sense of smell, so he'll be able to locate the Rescue Officers by tracking their scents.
Use Yhold to open Actions, and then use L stick to select a search Command.
To begin with, command Oatchi to Pick Up a Scent. You never know where his nose may lead you.
Rescue operations are a race against time, so put your Dandori skills to work to find our Rescue Officers quickly.
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.
Embracing the art of Dandori is essential to our work. And you'll need it out there while searching for our Rescue Officers!
To get things started, open YholdActions and Command Oatchi to sniff out our missing comrades!
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.
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.
Any Pikmin on standby near the landing site will be transported via the S.S. Beagle, and they can regroup here.
Be sure to move your base wisely. It's another way to show efficiency and good Dandori instincts.
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...
Never mind that for now. I wonder if we're in this creature's territory.
We should create a base here. Any Dandori master would tell you it's the most efficient way forward.
But first, let's do something about that pesky creature already.
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.
Now we can carry things in the water!
Search the water thoroughly! I'm counting on you, Rescue Officer and Oatchi!
These Pikmin certainly have some heft to them.
Let me check the Voyage Log. There may be a relevant entry.
They're 10 times stronger than other
Pikmin?! How could they possess so much power?
Well, it sounds like we can rely on them for some heavy lifting.
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...
So they're hard as rocks, huh?
Now that I really look at them, I see how you could easily mistake this Pikmin for a basic stone.
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...
Their bodies are made of ice?!
Who knew that something frozen could move around like that. It's incredible.
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.
Kee-hee! Olimar must be very wise indeed to have recognized its value.
Please collect as much of this material as you can find! It will be beyond useful for my work in the Lab and for building things!
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.
I believe we can turn this partial construction into a vital asset!
We'll process raw material into clay at the S.S. Beagle and use it as a building material to finish this structure.
These raw materials are only valuable when brilliant minds give them a higher purpose, after all.
Once you're at a construction site, simply direct your Pikmin and Oatchi to start building!
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?
A yellow Onion this time?
I'm sure I can count on you to carry it back to the base.
Onions really do come in all kinds of different colors.
Could there be one for every Pikmin type?
Well now, THAT is a downright adorable Onion!
Something about that color makes it look like it could float away at any second!
A light-blue Onion?
Even though it's frozen, it is still buzzing with activity inside. Fascinating!
Oho! Are we sure this is even an Onion?
It's kinda rock colored, eheheh.
Mmm... The purple jewel of the earth.
Glorious, is it not?
Carry this to the end, and I shall bequeath it to you as a reward.
Move quickly, or you will run out of time!
Mmm... This is the splendid white jewel.
Carry it to the end, and it shall be your reward.
You did it! Let's take a look and see what the ID badge tells us.
...
Hey, this is...
Oh! Thank the stars he's alright!
This is Russ, the scientist in charge of repairs and upgrades for our space suits and the S.S. Shepherd.
His technical knowledge will be beyond helpful during this rescue mission.
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?
Hmm. I wonder...
You remember the Voyage Log that arrived with Captain Olimar's SOS signal?
Perhaps there were others who picked up his signal, saw the log, and decided to come all this way in search of treasure.
Maybe they ended up like Captain Olimar too—shipwrecked and stranded. That's my hunch anyway.
I'd like to think this appraiser is the only one, but...
We should keep an eye out for more civilian castaways and be ready to rescue them too. Chances are they're in danger.
I'm officially adding this to our mission list. Got it, you two?
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?
Well, that's just ill-advised!
It's up to you to rescue any castaways you find, Rescue Officer and Oatchi.
Alright, let's check that ID!
...
Look who we have here!
I knew it! I knew he was tough enough to make it!
Dingo is a skilled ranger, even though he doesn't use a Rescue Pup. He specializes in solo missions, you see.
One thing's for certain: rescue missions should be a lot easier with his help.
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.
How many civilians decided it'd be a good idea to go traipsing off to this planet?
Did they think this was some kind of hot new tourist destination or something?!
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?!
Yes! We found another Rescue Officer!
Yonny is a talented doctor with a wealth of knowledge. With his skills, he can treat any injuries or illnesses that come our way.
That means the only Rescue Officer still missing is our pilot. Please, continue your search.
Alright! We found another Rescue Officer!
Yonny is a talented doctor with a wealth of knowledge. With his skills, he can treat any injuries or illnesses that come our way.
I'll bet he can even do something about the leafling castaways.
That means our pilot is the only one of us still missing. Please, continue your search.
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!
Judging from the name of the school and club, this has to be one of the students that came with the teacher we rescued.
Imagine being stranded like this at such a young age. Poor thing must have been downright terrified.
Running the ID now. Isn't that interesting?
This one's not from the task force.
Wait just a minute! This face... It's so very familiar... Oh! I know who this is!
She's that popular television reporter!
I've long been an admirer of her work.
But hold on... What's she doing here?!
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.
A ruin-excavation specialist... He probably came to this planet to do research.
Excellent rescue work. Bring him on back here. I have some questions for him.
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.
Hey, isn't this that opera singer who's always on TV?
She's really famous for her performance in... Um, what was it again?
Oh, good! Someone else from the TV crew.
That'll be a relief to Muggs!
OK! I'll check the ID info!
Kee-hee! A young geologist from the research task force. I can't wait to test her on her knowledge of the field.
I'll start verifying the ID info. Give me just a moment...
A fortune teller, eh?
Maybe having her read our fortunes every day would bring a little peace of mind.
Or...maybe not.
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.
Huh?! Does this mean that when someone becomes a leafling, their biometric- authentication data becomes unreadable?
If even science is unable to solve this problem, then I'm afraid I'm at a loss...
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.
Nothing, just like the others.
Alright, let's put our energy into finding and curing these folks. Keep exploring!
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.
Figures. The data's still unreadable.
All we can do is bring them back and get them cured.
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!
All these leaflings. Everywhere we go, there are more of them. I'm going to need to stock up on medicine.
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 want to free these poor leaflings from their ENDLESS obsession with Dandori!
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!
As long as I'm stocked with medicine, curing them is the easy part, eheheh.
Leafling recovered. Good work!
Alright, let's get this one cured.
Don't stop exploring now!
This is our twentieth leafling rescue!
That's quite the accomplishment!
We have to have found everyone by now, don't you think?
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?
Unbelievable! The Onions fused, and now there's just one with two colors.
Wait! Do you think it will be able to propagate Pikmin of both types now?
The more Onions we fuse together, the more types of Pikmin it can propagate.
That's good news for us!
I know the Pikmin will be excited about this!
I'm excited to see just how many times we can fuse this thing!
That's a very nice set of colors!
I never imagined it would get this colorful!
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!
Whoa, that'll be a big help when you're exploring! Try taking out more Pikmin.
Huh? This Onion is different somehow?
Let's take it back to the surface so we can compare it with the other Onion.
Yep, this is flarlic! We'll take it back to the 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!
Whoa, that'll be a big help when you're exploring! Try taking out more Pikmin.
The number of Pikmin you can withdraw increased by 10 again! This makes me want to feed that Onion even more!
We can take out 10 more Pikmin now!
This should speed up our search.
Finally, we're able to take out 100 Pikmin at a time! Nothing can stop us now!
Wait! What just happened? The number of
Pikmin we can take out didn't go up at all.
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.
Maybe Pikmin have evolved to self-limit how many can be out on the surface at a time to prevent unnecessary loss.
Maybe Pikmin have evolved to self-limit how many can be out on the surface at a time to prevent unnecessary loss.
Wow! Did you see that? The Onion fused again!
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.
Is something wrong? It sucked up the
Onion, but nothing's happening.
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'm sure I synchronized your clock,
Rescue Officer, but something's off...
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!
Oatchi, you're getting in too deep!
Hurry back to the shallows!
This is bad. Oatchi can't swim!
Oatchi, you're getting in too deep!
Gah! A Pikmin's on fire!
Quick, put it out with Bhold!
Gah! A Pikmin's on fire!
Oatchi! Your tail is on fire!
Use Bmash to put the fire out!
Oatchi's tail is burning!
Oatchi! Your tail is on fire!
Uh-oh, the poor Pikmin got shocked!
Call them with Bhold to wake them up!
Uh-oh, the poor Pikmin got shocked!
Oatchi, snap out of it!
Press Bmash to wake yourself up.
Oatchi got zapped!
Oatchi, snap out of it!
A Pikmin got wet and needs some help!
Get rid of the water fast with Bhold!
A Pikmin got all wet and needs help!
Oatchi really doesn't like getting splashed!
Use Bhold to get rid of the water and calm him down!
Calm down, Oatchi! It's just a little water!
Shake it off with Bmash!
Oatchi really doesn't like getting splashed!
Calm down, Oatchi! It's just a little water!
Ugh, a Pikmin's been poisoned!
Use Bhold to counteract it!
Ugh, a Pikmin's been poisoned!
It'll be OK, Oatchi!
Calm down, and use Bmash to counteract the poison!
Oatchi, are you alright?!
Oatchi, are you alright?!
Is the poor thing frozen?!
Try the whistle to see if it'll still respond.
Is the poor thing frozen?!
What?! He's frozen!
Quick! Call him with the whistle! Make sure he's alright!
Oh no! Frozen?!
Move your body with Bmash to break the ice!
You can do it!
What?! He's frozen!
Oh no! 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!
Hey, that swamp doesn't appear to have a bottom!
Hurry! Get Oatchi out of there before he sinks!
How far down does that swamp go?!
Quick! Get back out of there!
How far down does that swamp go?!
How far down does that swamp go?!
It's a bottomless swamp!
Hurry! Call the Pikmin back to the shallows before they sink!
It's a bottomless swamp!
It's taking the Pikmin!
I don't know what that dog intends to do with them, but we need to get them back!
It's taking the Pikmin!
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.
Rouse them with the whistle. Maybe if they jump on Oatchi, they'll warm up.
But what could be making it so cold down here in the first place?
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!
I don't know what that dog intends to do with them, but we need to get them back!
Press Bhold to call him back to shore with your whistle!
Put the fire out with Bhold right away!
No time to waste! Call him with the whistle to snap him out of it!
Use Bhold to get rid of the water and calm him down!
Hurry! Use Bhold to get rid of the poison!
Quick! Call him with the whistle! Make sure he's alright!
Hurry! Get Oatchi out of there before he sinks!
Hurry back to the shallows!
Use Bmash to put the fire out!
Press Bmash to wake yourself up.
Shake the water off with Bmash!
Calm down, and use Bmash to counteract the poison!
Move your body with Bmash to break the ice!
You can do it!
Quick! Get out of there!
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!
You rest there awhile.
Oatchi, you're in charge for now. When you're ready, head to the base to meet back up with Rescue Officer.
You're on your own for a bit, but don't give up on your mission. You can do this,
Rescue Officer!
We'll let Oatchi rest at the base for a while.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
Oh no... We lost the Pikmin... If only we could turn back time.
It's too dangerous to go on like this.
Take some time to regroup before you continue.
All of your Pikmin were wiped out.
If we could just turn back time...
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.
Ugh! All those Pikmin...gone. If only we could find a way to turn back time...
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.
It seems the creatures get even more aggressive at night.
If any Pikmin are separated from the squad, you better collect them now.
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.
I understand the creatures become much more aggressive at night.
Make sure you don't leave any stray
Pikmin behind.
Did you see that?! It bloomed a flower!
What's going on here?
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!
They're moving so fast, and they seem to be more eager to attack.
The Ultra-Spicy Spray must be chock-full of powerful nutrients.
What is it, Oatchi?! Are you a happy pup?!
Wow, look how excited he is!
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!
Kee-hee! Construction of the clay bridge is complete!
Now you can come and go as you please.
Go ahead! Cross it! Admire the impressive craftsmanship!
Construction of the climbing wall is finished!
You can scurry right up this expertly crafted wall and explore whatever waits at the top to your heart's content!
Oh, but since Oatchi isn't built for climbing, you'll want to find someplace to meet back up with him.
That lovely clay mound is ready for use!
It should be perfect for all of your exploration and transportation needs!
Good work! You stopped the water!
You did it! The fire's out!
Wow... We've collected quite a lot of those red berries now.
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!
Huh? Look at that red nectar. I wonder...
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!

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...
You and Oatchi need to find a rendezvous point, Rescue Officer.
Open YholdActions, and use L stick to select
Switch to explore as Oatchi!
Good boy, Oatchi! He's picked up a castaway's scent.
It has to be one of our missing Rescue
Officers. Time to get them back to safety.
Look at Oatchi. Even a brave pup like him gets scared sometimes. Don't push him.
Come in, come in, over.
As we discussed earlier, Oatchi has grown a bit. So, this morning I decided to drill him on his Jump skill.
Oatchi should be able to move around more easily now, even with you and the
Pikmin on board.
Walk up close to Oatchi and press Y to mount. Press it again to dismount.
Press X when you want Oatchi to use
Jump. He should have no problem clearing small ledges.
If you keep holding X after you Jump, you can build up his power.
Hit something with a Rush to launch the
Pikmin on his back and have them land on your target.
Using Jump will give you access to more search areas, and a good Rush can be a game-changing move in a battle.

Rescue Officer, come in, over.
Oatchi has never really liked getting wet, but I've been working on it with him in the bathtub aboard the S.S. Shepherd.
And last night he had a big breakthrough.
Your Rescue Pup can swim!
Now that he's over his dislike of water, he can jump in and use Doggy-Paddle to swim through any water obstacle!
Get on Oatchi's back with the Pikmin, and you can ride across bodies of water to explore new areas.
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.
Hmm... If you take that fire starter, you might be able to use it to burn something.
Or you can use it to light another one of those bonfire altars and have even more fire starters at the ready.
But all that aside, that thing looks so hot
I'm sweating from here!
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!
You two are naturals at this exploration stuff, Rescue Officer and Oatchi!
You've collected so much energy, I think we can fully restore the S.S. Shepherd!
Kee-hee! I believe this should do it.
If I boost our radar to its maximum range, we'll find every Koppaite on this planet!
What a wonderful dilemma... How would we use all this energy you collected?
Can we truly strengthen our radar even more? I can't wait to see what the power of Koppai's science can accomplish!
Amazing! Look at all this sparklium!
And yet...the S.S. Shepherd's energy tank still hasn't reached its maximum capacity.
Intriguing... The sparklium doesn't seem to possess any weight or volume.
You know what that means? No matter how much energy we collect, our tank should be able to handle it.
You've done a great job collecting treasure so far. No reason to stop now.
I can't believe a flower that big is blooming underground...
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.
Unbelievable. They can even change color?
Pikmin are the strangest creatures.
Nice try, but you can only place up to
3 pins at a time. Delete any pins you aren't using with Y.
I cleverly designed this technology so you can also place or delete pins directly from the Radar Map.
How will you choose to delete a pin? I'm eager to see which method you prefer.
Radar Map
Survey Drone
They have leaves growing out of their head... So odd.
There is poisonous oxygen in this planet's atmosphere. They shouldn't be able to survive without their helmet.
Something very strange is going on here.
What a fruitful harvest!
From one glow sap I can make exactly one cure, eheheh.
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...
It just goes to show that even if you explore 100％ of a cave, the natural world won't be kept at bay for long.
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.
What's the problem? Oh, I see. The Pikmin won't follow you onto the surface.
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.
Oho? What is this star-shaped medal?
Russ tinkered with the appraisal AI. Now you'll be able to see when you've collected all the treasures in a series.
Kee-hee! There's a resonance in the wave patterns for treasures of the same type that lets us extract even more sparklium.
Can't say that I get the science behind it, but it sounds like we should try to collect complete series.
Look! There's a cave here too!
This area is crawling with creatures. Our
Rescue Officers could have retreated into the cave to get away from them.
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?
