Plot
After Olimar, Louie, and the Pikmin rescued The President and defeated the Empire Deathstool he triumphantly returned to Hocotate. Once home he took a short break away from work with his family. When he returned to work he was surprised by his employer with a special mission: return to the Pikmin planet and study the wildlife there more in-depth than before. Olimar gladly sped out in his newly repurchased S.S. Dolphin towards the third-planet of the alien sun. Luck was not on his side, however; because Space Pirates attacked him when he was just outside the Pikmin planet's orbit. They quickly overwhelmed him and shot out the Dolphin's engines, sending his prize ship again hurtling down towards the planet. The last thing he remembered was being sucked into a grey-colored Onion.

Devnotes

 * We've worked hard to hide little surprises in the game that only the most faithful fans could find. Try and find them all!

Anti-Rumor Mongering

 * Olimar does not die during the events of this game, get over it. The Plot Synopsis on this page is cryptic to avoid spoilers.
 * There are no intentional Satanic references in the game, no one on the Dev team is a Satan worshiper.
 * There are no hidden Pikmin in the game, just stop trying to get these non-existent "Godmin" or whatever the hell they're supposedly called. It's a waste of time.
