EPILOGUE
Years after the events of, Captain Olimar, worried sick about his space-dog, green, decides to take a vacation back to PNF-404. Unbeknownst to him, Louie, his dim-witted co-worker, and Chacho, his boss, who owns the shipping company Hocotate Freight, sneak onto his ship to observe his performance.

Olimar is nearing PNF-404's atmosphere, and is managing to control his ship well enough to not cause a crash landing! Until Louie, wanting to steal one of Olimar's snacks, breaks his cover- Despite Chacho hurriedly signalling him to come back- asking him if he can have some of his food. Olimar is so badly frightened by Louie's sudden appearance that he loses control of the ship and careens straight into an asteroid, totalling the S.S Dolphin.

His ship spins down towards the ground, as the sun sets behind the eclipsed planet. The Title fades in.



VERDANT VALES - NIGHT
Olimar wakes up, his life support system obnoxiously beeping. His space suit resuscitated him after he passed out from the crash. Olimar's vitals become stable again, but the beeping doesn't stop. Olimar's face turns to one of worry when he remembers Louie. He digs through the rubble of the now completely destroyed S.S Dolphin. He finds Louie, unconscious but still breathing. A small crack in his helmet. He decides to let Louie recover while he goes exploring. Olimar, cautious about exploring after dark, brings a headlight with him. Now able to see, but not much, he starts scouting out the area.

You gain control of Olimar. The Tutorial begins.

The Tutorial functions similarly to the Tutorial in, With Olimar wandering around. After walking along a trail for a little, a cutscene begins. Olimar is walking along a dirt path, his body only illuminated by the red antennae on his helmet, and the Headlight around it. There isn't much to see in the Verdant Vales at this time, but Olimar is fascinated by the scenery. Too fascinated to notice that he's about to trip over something. Olimar's foot gets caught, and he stumbles to the ground. His helmet scratched and his suit covered in dirt, he looks behind him to see what he tripped over, only to see a bright, glowing mushroom. A blue light reflecting off of his helmet, he gets up to inspect it. After thinking its just a regular Glowcap, he breathes a sigh of relief, his whistle faintly blowing in the process. The dirt beneath the Glowcap begins to shuffle. As Olimar stumbles back, preparing to fight for his life in near pitch black darkness, a small, luminescent cyan creature pops out. Olimar slowly realizes what it is.

A new type of Pikmin. Called a Lumin.

Olimar is dumbfounded that there are even more undiscovered species of Pikmin, but he realizes how important they are to his survival.

You regain control of Olimar, now tasked with the objective of collecting more Lumins.

After some more walking, and whistling some more of the strange new pikmin type, Olimar comes across 3 more of the same mushrooms.

You are then prompted to press the button to whistle. When you blow your whistle near them, they unroot themselves and pop up from under the ground.

When throwing the Lumin, they root themselves into the floor, becoming Glowcaps once again.

After collecting around 25 Lumin, Olimar enters a cave. Since it is pitch black, Olimar says it would be a good idea to throw the Lumin to illuminate the area. When you throw the lumin, it illuminates something.

'A sleeping creature. '

Olimar freaks out as the beast slowly wakes up. He tries running, but the beast catches up to him easily. The camera zooms into his horrified face as the screen fades to black.
