Joker Squadron

The Joker Squadron is Hocotate Freight's hired science/mercenary squad. They are equipped to do field research and fight in combat situations. The team is led by Louie. The squad was founded 10 years after Pikmin: Ultimate Doom in order to plunder planets for treasure. They raided many worlds, and made the President and his company very rich. Each member is playable, but only a maximum of three captains can be used at a time.
