Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds/Days 1-2

This page explains the plot of the days 1 and 2.

Day 1
Olimar, his son Saggitarius, Louie, and the President all travel to the Pikmin Planet in the S.S. Dolphin 2.0 and in the Hocotate Ship. They have to save the Planet of the Pikmin from being controlled by the evil people. And they have one main reason- for that the Pikmin Planet has over twice as much total surface area (the Pikmin Planet has 198 million sq. miles, as compared to Hocotate where it only has 87 million sq. miles. It's also the largest rocky planet ever discovered). With lush forests, plentiful animals, huge mountains, and vast oceans, this planet proves to be the best (despite having oxygen, but they cannot remove it for it would kill off all the native species).

The four exit hyperspace and see the giant planet along with it's moon. Traveling closer and closer, the anxiety in Olimar increases as he knows that the Pikmin should be there, waiting... Re-entry begins, however Louie (piloting the Ship) dives a little too deep and massive friction damages the Ship. The cockpit (from the intro of Pikmin 2) wasn't repaired and, unfortunately, the President was sitting there when all of a sudden he fell out. However, he fell when they were about to land and he was wearing his spacesuit at the time.

The two ships land at a very cold place. All three of them jump out and start to look. However, giant cardboard bags block their way, and the only way to crush them is with Pikmin, but there are none in sight. At that time, the Ship announces that he has picked up a faint radar signal. Olimar rapidly assumes that it's the President. The Ship says that he is not completely certain, but it is definitely a Hocotatian. The game automatically switches over to who is revealed to be the President...
