Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs is a fanon Pikmin game created by Cheepy-Cheepy. It involves the breadbug family having taken over PNF-404.
Plot
Captain Olimar longs to return to the Pikmin Planet in his prized ship, the S.S. Dolphin. After promising his family that he won't stay there too long, Olimar climbs aboard and ventures into space once more. Little does he know, however, that a major event had occurred on PNF-404 in his absence. Olimar lands his ship on the dewy grass of the Beginner Territory and comes out to admire his surroundings, embracing a wave of nostalgia as he recalls the Pikmins' presence behind him. Just then, he spots a duo of Breadbugs dragging a single red 1-pellet. Simply dismissing the event as nothing unusual, Olimar decides to wander around and explore the scenery.
Before he can start, his quick eyes fall upon a passage hidden behind some foliage. Briskly walking along, he soon reaches a large opening containing a Red Onion. He looks on as a trio of Red Pikmin fend off against a single Dwarf Red Bulborb. The Red Pikmin use incredible teamwork to dispatch the petty breadbug mimic. While the Red Pikmin carefully carry the corpse of the Dwarf Red Bulborb, Olimar cautiously approaches the Red Pikmin to give a friendly 'hello'. The Red Pikmin stare at him, bewildered for some seconds, but then frolic around him after recognizing him. Charmed by the embracing trio, Olimar smiles warmly, hugging the three Red Pikmin. The Red Pikmin immediately group behind Olimar, awaiting their trusted hero's commands.
