Olimar's wife

Back home on planet Hocotate, Olimar is married. He and his wife have two children, a boy and a girl. Olimar briefly mentioned his family in Pikmin 1 via journal entries, and descriptions of certain ship parts (see Libra and Sagittarius). In Pikmin 2, their characters become more developed, as Olimar can randomly receive a message from one of his family members at the end of each day. In Pikmin 2 he says his wife is getting wrinkles and that he will take her on a vacation when he gets home. At some point after collecting all 201 treasures in Pikmin 2, she will send a repeating message asking Olimar to come home. The only way to stop these messages is to open a new save file.
