Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War

Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War is a new Pikmin game being created by AlmightyCreeperLord. It features a new exploration system, as well as several new enemies, bosses, and pikmin. The point of the game is to mainly collect treasure, as well as achieving certain goals.

Present
The President was walking around Hocotate one day, when he noticed that there was a new, large mansion for sale. Being greedy as always, he calls Olimar and Louie over, and tells them they need to return to the Pikmin Planet so they can get more treasure to sell so the President can buy the mansion. He mentions that there will be pay for Olimar and Louie, too. He shows them a new, gray ship that looks similar to their old ship, except it has three cockpits and is much larger, known only as the Ship 3.0. They then blast off for the Pikmin Planet...

Forest Navel

At the old landing site, there is what appears to be construction going on. There is also a Man-at-Legs nearby, resting. Inside the structure are various creatures that Olimar has faced. In the front is a green Bulborb with whiskers that resemble a moustache, named General Bulben. He starts speaking.

"Alright, as we all know, some mysterious folks have come and started to lead the Pikmin against us. We must band together in order to defeat them!"

This speech is met with thunderous applause, and then General Bulben moves toward a fairly small Arachnorb.

"Larry Long Legs, get the Man-at-Cannons in place! If we get them by surprise, they'll never see us coming!"

Present Day
Olimar's ship arrives near the Pikmin Planet, and they start to enter the atmosphere. They start looking for a place to land in the forest, when they notice some strange things rising above a small clearing. Suddenly, they are under fire from the strange, metallic spheres that they see. Olimar starts using evasive action, but one shot hits the hull, separating the hull with the research pod. The ship starts to go down, and crashes in a nearby clearing...

After Curious Cove
After Olimar secures the Central Mosaic from Curious Cove, the enemy sends a Burrowing Snagret to attack Olimar and co.'s base. This fails, and the pathway to The Valley of Regret is opened up.

Areas
There are several areas, almost all of them connected by Base Camp.

Base Camp


 * Curious Cove

The Valley of Regret
 * The Temple of Ice
 * Complex Chute
 * Blowhog Base
 * Underground River

The Forest of Symbiosis
 * Straykos Den
 * Mechanical Wasteworks
 * Acid Access

+ 8 more to be named areas

Pikmin
All Pikmin from Pikmin 2 are in this game, as well as several new types. Each has its own onion, except for white and purple pikmin.

Red Pikmin: Fire resistance

Yellow Pikmin: Electricity resistance + high throw height

Blue Pikmin: Can breathe underwater

Purple Pikmin: Extra weight and strength

White Pikmin: Poison resistant as well as being poisonous

Green Pikmin: Acid resistance

Tan Pikmin: Can dig in certain areas, as well as being immune to dirt attacks

Crimson Pikmin: Lava resistance

And a secret pikmin type.

New Features
This game features the ability to go between areas without having to end the day; from Base Camp someone can go to 7 other areas at the expense of a fifth of a day to walk along a route connecting areas. Someone can still go to other areas by going to the ship and selecting an unlocked area.

There will also be a quicksave feature. This way, you can still save your game and pick up at a later time, but it will prevent you from reloading your save in order to fix any error you make. This method is better than the cave save system, since you can't use it to cheat, and better than not having one at all, since some people don't have all the time in the world.

(Other new features to be decided later)

Game modes
Story Mode: Play the story and collect treasures.

Challenge Mode: Play one of two modes: Time Attack, where you try to collect everything as fast as you can, and Classic, and is like Pikmin 2's challenge mode.

Multiplayer Mode: Play competitively against another player in one of two ways:
 * Capture The Flag, in which case you have to retrieve the opponents marble, or
 * Bingo Battle from Pikmin 3.

Night Mode, in which you only play at night, enemies have more health, and bosses are upgraded to EX versions with new attacks, with a new final boss.

Note: If some of the treasures don't have Ship's Notes, that's because EmperorRagingLongLegs hasn't made them yet.
