Pikmin: Gold Rush

Pikmin: Gold Rush is a Side Game and Sequel to Pikmin: Under Lock and Key taking place after the events of the game. Gold Rush is akin to Mission Mode of Pikmin 3 and Challenge Mode of Pikmin 2, expanded to be a full game of many mini-challenges along with a short story mode reminiscent of Pikmin 3's Olimar's Assignment/Comeback to introduce concepts to the player.

Story

PNF-404 has been a hotspot for treasure hunters ever since the first discovery of the planet by Olimar. Most of which have been bailed out by the Rescue Corp. With the high risk of ship crashes and disturbance to the ecosystem the planet had been placed under lockdown by Koppai, now an intergalactic national park where only farming and scientific discovery are allowed. (See Pikmin: Under Lock and Key)

However the lust for treasure and wealth is unmatched by the Space Bunnies! An race of aliens hostile to Hocotations and Koppaites, infamous for raiding cargo ships of food and goods. No one really knows why and they keep a mysterious vibe around them. Everyone respects the Koppai Goverment's lockdown except for them, many have been caught even with their stealth technology and less and less have tried to plunder the planet... But one was brave enough, cunning enough, and sneaky enough to attempt to!

The infamous space bunny space pirate Jack and his crew The Bucktooth Pirates! He heard through the grapevine they discovered a giant golden pikpik carrot equivalent on the planet. Just one. And HE had to have it. Setting off without any hesitation he and his crew sneak past the security orbiting the system, avoids several meteors, and lands safely on the surface. They have limited time as each night radar sweeps the planet, they would need to have a small footprint on the planet, using only wild pikmin as to not raise suspicion. But could they really collect the golden giant pikpik look-a-like without getting caught...?
