Pikmin: Hybrids

Pikmin: Hybrids is a game meant to continue where Pikmin 2 left off. It introduces a new variety of Pikmin, Hybrid Pikmin, which possess the abilities of two Pikmin types!

An apology
I came up with the idea for Hybrid Pikmin before I ever carefully looked at Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds. I got almost all the way through. Then I take a look at Connection of the Worlds, and lo and behold, there are Dual Buds. I was unaware of this, so I apologize for the unoriginality.

Plot
The game features Olimar once again, but there has been a radical change to the Planet of the Pikmin- strange candypop buds have begun appearing everywhere that possess the ability to blend Pikmin types! Olimar hears of the news from Louie, who has been assigned to collect treasure for Hocotate Freight from the Pikmin Planet. Olimar, despite his family's protests, sets out to investigate. When he reaches the planet, he learns that the Pikmin species is dwindling. Grateful for their help over the years, Olimar takes it upon himself to discover why the species is suffering and preserve the Pikmin!
