Story
Hocotate Freight took on a job from Koppai Technology which developed the CellMerge. They were supposed to deliver it to a rich collecter, when an asteroid smashed into the shipment, destroying the ship. However, the CellMerge survived and crashed onto PNF-404. A Puffstool found the machine and decided to play with it until a White Pikmin sneaks up and killed the mushroom. The CellMerge activated and merged itself, the confused White Pikmin, and the carcass of the Puffstool, creating a Puffmin capable of merging others, Puffy. Puffy, stressed with its new powers, started fusing the parts of the planet wildly. Meanwhile, back at Hocatate Freight and Koppai Technology, both companies lost a lot of money, so they decided to send Olimar, Louie, Alph, Brittany and Charlie to PNF-404 to collect treasure. Both ships head to the distant planet, but collided with each other, destroying the ships.
Olimar wakes up, disturbed by the serial crashes. He climbs onto a small hill to look around, and discovers the hill to be a giant toy block. Suddenly, two entities fall from the sky, and Olimar recognizes them as Louie and Brittany, but not quite. When they get up, Olimar is terrified, as they have been turned into Pikmin! He gets an S.O.S signal from Alph, who explains that the CellMerge must have landed on PNF-404 and is chaotically merging various lifeforms. Alph the tells Olimar that the planet is in danger, and they have to find the CellMerge before it is too late. He gifts them three weapons just in case, as the planet is unstable and some enemies will be more hostile than regular. Olimar takes the blaster, while Pikmin Louie and Pikmin Brittany takes the Rotater and the other Blaster, respectively. Olimar and his crew ventures forward, until they come across a previously destroyed dirt gate. Olimar continues forward, until they are attacked by Troopers. They fight them off and continue forward, defeating more Troopers and Copters, a new enemy. They help a startled Pikmin get back to its Onion, opening a path to a suspicious, previously-destroyed concrete gate. They continue on, only to be stopped by Puffy, who accidentally fuses a Pikmin and a bulborb, creating a Pikborb.
