Prologue
This game is set one year after Pikmin 2. Olimar is flying back to Hocotate after a long trip with his son, when he decides to look at footage from a secret camera he placed on the pikmin planet to monitor them while he is away. Suddenly, he sees the pikmin fighting for their lives against some enemies.But something is not right - these enemies seem to be made of black smoke, and a second before the footage ends, he glimpses something even more disturbing: there seem to be pitch black pikmin fighting with the enemies! He emediatly turns the ship around, and heads toward the planet of the pikmin.

Part one-Shadows of the Emperor
After reuniting with the red pikmin at The Warfield, finding the yellow pikmin at Treetop Heights, and the blue pikmin at Waterfall Lake, Olimar and his son decide to explore the local caves. Some of the bosses were familiar faces, like the Goolix and the Armored Cannon Beetle. There were new bosses as well, like the Shearwood. Once all the caves are beaten at the Warfield, a new hole opens up. Some of the shadow enemies reside in this cave; they include Smokey and Dwarf Smokey Bulborbs. At the last sublevel is a Pikmin 2-sized Emperor Bulblax. But something's not right; it seems to leak black smoke. Once it's health is half depleted, its true form is revealed, a big Smokey Bulblax. When you defeat it, Olimar's son thinks they have defeated the leader of the shadow enemies, but Olimar knows this is far from over...

ESRB rating
