Story
Early one morning on the surface of Hocotate, Captain Olimar, who was enjoying some nice toast at the time, receives a call from his friend and subordinate, Louie.

He utters, "Olimar... Help... Trapped... Want food... Need food..."

Olimar, knowing what is at stake, says goodbye to his family, grabs his toast, (because he was still hungry) and hurries to the main office of Hocotate Freight, an interplanetary delivery company. The President is in a call with the Mayor of Koppai when Olimar barges into the office. "What do you want, Olimar?! I'm in a very important call right now!" (The President)

"What do you want, Olimar?! I'm in a very important call right now!" (The President)

"I need my ship back so I can go back to PNF-404," (Olimar)

"Why?" (The President)

"Um... so I can collect more treasures just in case the company gets into debt again?" (Olimar)

"...BRILLIANT! How come I didn't think of that?! I think about 1,000,000 pokos worth should be enough for a while. Off you go, now! Go on, get me some money!" (The President)

"Yes, Mr. President..." (Olimar)

And so, Olimar sets out on his fourth quest to PNF-404 to rescue Louie and, reluctantly, save his company from possible crippling debt.

Soon after Olimar takes off, he sets the S.S. Dolphin to autopilot and calls his friend Alph, who is one of the three Koppaite explorers who had rescued him on a previous adventure to the same planet, along with Brittany and Captain Charlie.

"Hi, Olimar! What's up?" (Alph)

"I'm heading to PNF-404 to rescue Louie. He's been trapped there for days. Somebody had to do something, so I guess it had to be me..." (Olimar)

"Okay, me, Brittany, and Charlie are coming to help right now." (Alph)

"No. I have to do this on my own." (Olimar)

"Oh, shoot..." (Alph)

"What?" (Olimar)

"Well, that kinda stinks, because if you could just look out your side window for me real quick..." (Alph) Olimar then looks out the window and sees the S.S. Drake flying right next to his ship. His eyes widen in shock. Olimar then looks out the window and sees the S.S. Drake flying right next to his ship. His eyes widen in shock.

"We're already here." (Alph)

"Hello, Captain Olimar." (Charlie)

"Hi, Olimar!" (Brittany)

"Gosh, you're.. all... here..." (Olimar)

"Just because Louie stole all of our food, doesn't mean we're going to leave him to die!" (Brittany)

"Yeah! We're going to find Louie if it's the last thing we do!" (Charlie)

"Oh... thanks, guys. I guess if we're going to find Louie, we might as well do it together." (Olimar)

"Yeah!" (Charlie + Brittany)

"Uh, Captain?" (Alph)

"What, Alph?" (Charlie)

"There's a huge... thing heading straight for both of our ships." (Alph)

"Oh, thats fi - WAIT, WHAT?!" (Charlie) All 4 explorers run straight for the windows. Alph is right, but no one can tell what it even is.

"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" (Olimar)

"DUCK AND COVER!" (Charlie)

"PANIC!" (Brittany)

"DO ALL THREE!" (Alph) Olimar and Alph both try to move their respective ships out of the way of the giant object, but it's too late. Both ships crash head-on into the flying space projectile. And with that, all 4 of them are sent hurtling to the surface of PNF-404. Little did any of them know that this would be their biggest adventure yet...

Day 1
Olimar wakes up in a strange area. He spins around, seeing lots of enourmous tree stumps and logs scattered pretty much everywhere. He decides to name it Fallwood Forest, after how many fallen trees there are. He sees two glowing objects in the distance. Olimar, intrigued by the sight of it, walks towards it. It turns out that the glowing objects were actually Pikmin Onions! Olimar is overjoyed at the sight of his old friends. However, the two Onions are seperated by a wall. One slope leads down to one Onion, and the second one leads down to the other Onion.

(At this point, the player must choose between one of the two Onions. Anything forward to the left side of a slash [/] will be for the Onion on the left. Anything next to the right side of a slash is for the Onion on the right.)

Olimar chooses the left/right side and slides down the slope leading to the Onion on that respective side. Once he's up close, he sees that the Onion is purple/magenta. A single sprout is seen coming out of the purple/magenta Onion. Olimar plucks it, rediscovering Purple/Winged Pikmin! Olimar hugs the newborn Pikmin, and it hugs him right back! Olimar then notices some cracks in the wall that he can use to look at the Winged/Purple Onion. He then sees a slope leading away from the Purple/Winged Onion blocked by a Paper Bag/Bamboo Gate. Olimar uses this oppurtunity to start making more Purple/Winged Pikmin. He heads to the left/right of the Purple/Winged Onion to do so, and finds a Giant Female Shargrub/9 Stingless Scornets. Using these enemies, Olimar learns about the Purple Pikmin's stunning attack/Winged Pikmin's aerial combat skills. The Purple Pikmin/Winged Pikmin carry Giant Female Sheargrub/Stingless Scornets to the Purple/Winged Onion, creating 9 more Purple/Winged Pikmin. Using these new sprouted Pikmin, Olimar quickly flattens the paper bag/lifts the Bamboo Gate and slides down with his Pikmin.

(Note: It is impossible to lose Pikmin in this section, thanks to the specific enemies that are used. A cutscene plays right after you slide away from the Onions, immediately giving you your 10 Purple/Winged Pikmin.)

Olimar notices an Electric Gate to his left/right after sliding away from the Purple/Winged Onion.

"Hmm... if I could break that Electric Gate, maybe I could go back to get the other Onion I missed..." (Olimar)

Olimar continues forward and sees that the two paths separating the Purple/Winged Onions converged into one path, but he still can't get to the other Onion. Olimar presses on, and discovers the S.S. Drake! Olimar is very happy, because now he can blast into lower orbit so that he doesn't have to worry about the nocturnal creatures of this planet! He notices a colorless circle of crystals on the ground in a circular formation. Olimar also sees that the Purple/Winged Onion is flying over to him. It land in the circle of crystals, and when it does, the crystals turn purple/pink!

"The color of the crystals must reflect the color of the Onion in the circle. Intresting!" (Olimar)

Olimar decides to call it a day, sends the Purple/Winged Pikmin into their Onion, and blasts off. He momentary contemplates where his Koppaite friends could be, then goes to bed for the night.

Meanwhile...
Brittany wakes up in a different area. Not knowing what is going on or where she is, she presses forward. She sees a small shadow lurk in the corner. Getting closer, she sees that it is a Red Pikmin and Blue Pikmin, huddling together for warmth. Once they see Brittany, they are overjoyed and immediatly jump up and hug her.

"Aww, I missed you guys too!" (Brittany)

Brittany goes forward with these two Pikmin, wondering where their Onions are.

"Wait... I think I see something..." (Brittany)

She finds the Blue Onion, but both Pikmin seem to be horrified of it.

"What's wrong, little guys?" (Brittany)

The Red Pikmin points behind the Blue Onion.

"Oh my gosh!" (Brittany)

Behind the Blue Onion is the Red Onion, but it's comepletely destroyed.

"Oh no.... I'm so sorry..." (Brittany)

There are 2 Pikmin Sprouts near the destroyed Red Onion, however. Brittany plucks both, and gains 2 Red Pikmin. 2 Blue Pikmin then come running out from behind a corner, and cower behind Brittany.

"Why are you scared?" (Brittany)

She then sees what looks to be a giant Bulblorb chasing after them.

"RUN!" (Brittany)

Brittany and the Pikmin run off, with the Bulborb in hot pursuit.
