Pikmin 5 is a fan-made game by starfox7G. It is a direct sequel to Pikmin 4 and follows the continuity that Pikmin 4 is a retelling of Pikmin 1 and 2. Pikmin 5 will be a retelling of Pikmin 3 in a similar manner. The Rescue Corps gets an emergency call from PNF-404 once again, this time coming from an S. S. Drake piloted by three Koppaites. You will venture back, either as a Rookie on the job or a returning Cadet, to rescue the stranded Koppaites and bring home any other castaways. The gameplay of Pikmin 5 is similar to that of Pikmin 4, though not exact. Ranging from all new night missions, new pets to explore with, new Pikmin types, and new (and returning) locations.

Gameplay

Louie Mode

Louie mode is Pikmin 5's New Game+ and Ultra Spicy Mode. After completing the game, Louie is left behind! Again! You will play through the whole game again, but instead of having your fellow castaways at your side, you've only got Louie. No upgrades, no abilities. Your Pet that aids you on this adventure is a Junior Titan Dweevil, a younger and undeveloped version of the Titan Dweevil. He has the abilities of both Space Cats and Space Dogs, you can pounce and charge! However, it's stats are not as well rounded as your furry companions, and is also non-upgradable. You will be flying with your new spider-friend in the Hocotate Freight Ship, rather than the S. S. Drake or the Space Corps Rescue Ship. Pellet Posies will be your only friend, and you'll find them sparingly. After a Pellet is grabbed from a Pellet Posey, it will not respawn for the rest of the gameplay. Enemies will also not drop corpses to bring back to onions, rather a cook-able meal leaves behind that you can bring back to the ship. These will open up a new tab, rather than your Piklopedia, it'll be Louie's adventure in cooking all of the inhabitants of PNF-404, except for the Pikmin. Hopefully. You will only have to collect these foody remains once, after that it is unnecessary to bring back any of the enemy remains. Can you survive in a much more aggressive PNF-404 as Louie?

Plot

Prologue

As New Game Starts, the player is greeted with view a large silver ship blasting through space, as it flies by the camera the words “S.S. DRAKE” are read along the side. Suddenly, alarms begin going off and you watch smoke begin puffing from the ship. The top half and the bottom of the half ship spark, puff, then finally explode apart, shooting down towards the planet’s atmosphere below. You awaken as Brittany, a Koppaite on a mission to collect seeds from this planet to save her planet from a food shortage. She’s alone on the planet, not landing in the same spot as her crewmates Alph and Charlie. she looks around and you play as her exploring the small area. You find yourself in a sandy desert where up ahead you find a cat, fighting its way out of a quicksand pit as 5 Red Pikmin trying to help it out. As you whistle onto them, the Red Pikmin jump to attention and you get your introductory scene for Reds. The scene then cuts to the cat reacting to your whistle, quickly find a way to wiggle and jump out of the sand pit. It hops and slowly steps around, sniffing Brittany, before purring and cuddling up on her. Brittany is relived to find a furry friend and promptly gives it a name, Nekatchi. You get a short tutorial piece as you travel through this linear desert path to teach you about both Red Pikmin abilities, as well as Nekatchi’s abilities. At the end, you find the top part of the ship, Brittany says it’ll be good enough to use as shelter over the nights, she wonders how she’ll find her crewmates. The Red Pikmin, Brittany, and Nekatchi crawl into the ship as the scene ends. The next thing you get is the scene of the planet once more, the clouds slowly shift, then an alarm shows up over the visual. A message from Shepherd, “EMERGENCY RESCUE!” The screen fades to black, prompting a custom character creator, or your previous captain from Pikmin 4 with the options to change how you look. After this, the camera returns to where you left, before panning back and showing the view was from the window of your very own Rescue Corp ship. It’s you and Oatchi as a hologram of Shepherd appears. She informs you of the mission, three Koppaites crashed on PNF-404, and they need your help! As Shepherd is telling you their plight, the hologram cuts out. Your ship begins sending our alarms, you’re not crashing, but it seems something is pulling your ship in. Your rockets can’t fight as your ship begins drifting towards the planet. The next scene is your small ship dropping towards a very tall and large trees, as soon as it hits the first branch, the window pops up, and you see Oatchi gripping onto the ship, however another branch hits and Oatchi flies out into the distance. The camera quickly gets covered in leaves as the ship bangs around the branches a few more times.
