User:Extra3678/Pikmin multiple universe theory

The bad ending of Pikmin 1 makes it so that the events of Pikmin 2 would not have occurred. Because Olimar would not have escaped the Planet of Pikmin, Hocotate Freight would have had no way of repaying its debt of  × 10,100. Likewise, some plot elements of Pikmin 3 would be different because Louie would not have been on PNF-404 and known of Olimar's whereabouts, and Olimar would have become a Captmin that would not have had the cosmic-drive key.
