However, they crash into another ship while heading to the planet, leaving their fate, uncertain.

Daylight Meadow (tutorial)
Olimar wakes up and notices that the meadow is ravaged apart. He plants a seed, which attracts several curious Cutter Pikmin. He uses the Pikmin to plant more seeds, until a Cutter Onion flies down, in which Olimar writes in a data file about how Onions have certain requirements, such as needing a pellet posies nearby, possibly for convenience. Olimar continues forward and comes across a savaged ship. He discovers a Kophone in the wreckage and locates 3 vital parts of the ship, leading him to a signal nearby in which he gets swallowed by a mysterious creature.

Shady Forest
David wakes up and notices some nearby Red Pikmin. He then uses them to plant some red Pellet Posies, causing a Red Onion to come down. After breaking a dirt gate, he comes across a half-finished bridge. After repairing the bridge, David runs across and finds a Koppaite ship which he uses to take off. Unfortunately, the ship hits a tree branch causing it to lose several key components.

Daylight Meadow
After losing the ship parts, David lands in Daylight Meadow to try and search for them. Shortly after landing, he discovers Cutter Pikmin and breaks a rope wall, opening a path to a boss fight with a Pluto Vinesnap, which flees as soon as he beats it. Luckily, it drops an Fuselage V, which allows David to visit the Forbidding Wasteland.

Forbidding Wasteland
Later that night, David receives an S.O.S signal from a mysterious entity from Forbidding Wasteland, which reveals that the figure has come in contact with an engine part. Once David lands, he discovers Yellow Pikmin, which helps him navigate a cave system and powers a pinball machine that launches a ball that opens an entrance to an arena, where David battles the Shaded Manderback. After killing the Manderback, it spits out Emily which reveals the "ship part" which is actually a Fuse Onion. Nevertheless, Emily decides to join the team. After experimenting with the Fuse Onion, they create a Cyber Pikmin, which transports them into a, allowing them to collect a Sturdy Data Glutton granting them passage to Virulent Marsh.

Main

 * Fruits: are also necessary as the crew will require 1 bottle of juice each day. However, the fruit will now provide more juice than in Pikmin 3 marking fruit of lesser importance.

Extras

 * Treasure: Are not required in the main story, though it is crucial in completing the story 100%.

Fusing Pikmin
After David fights the Legged Manderback, it will spit out a Fuse Onion in addition to Emily. The Fuse Onion can then be carried back to the ship, and will then be repaired, letting the crew access more powerful Pikmin. If 2 Pikmin can't fuse, they will create a Pellet Posy of the first one's color.

Nighttime
After you find Mushroom Pikmin, you will be able to stay outside at night. This can be more dangerous due to bulborbs being more active, mid-bosses moving outside of their respective lairs, pellet posies disappearing, and enemies coming out of dungeons.

Digitizing
