'''Louie''' ({{j|ルーイ|Rūi}}) is a secondary protagonist in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], serving as [[Olimar]]'s partner and co-worker. He first appears in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' – the only game in which he is a [[Leader|playable character]] in [[Story Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', he stays at the [[Koppai]]tes' ship after being saved, twice, and appears as Olimar's partner in [[Bingo Battle]], as well as a playable character in some [[Mission Mode|missions]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'', he once again accompanies Olimar as a second leader in the [[Side Stories]] mode. He appears once again in the second act of {{p4}} with a more antagonistic role.


Louie is relatively new to the shipping business and has a ravenous appetite. He was raised by his [[Louie's grandmother|grandmother]], who encouraged him to play with bugs, as well as eat them – an activity he seems to partake while on [[PNF-404]].
Louie's first appearence is in [[Pikmin 2]] and he serves as a partner to [[Captain Olimar]] in commanding Pikmin as his sidekick. [[Hocotate Freight]] runs into financial trouble after Louie, a new employee, was shipping a supply of the very valuable [[Pikpik carrot|Golden Pikpik Carrots]], was apparently attacked by a ravenous space bunny who is said to have devoured the entire cargo of carrots. The [[President of Hocotate Freight|President]] took out a giant loan to cover the losses of the carrots, and has no way to repay the loan. After the return of Olimar, the President instructs Olimar and Louie to head back to the Pikmin planet to search for treasure and save the company.


==Appearance and personality==
Physically, Louie has a single yellow tuft of hair and light yellow (beige) spacesuit, decorated with blue lines and blue gloves, like Olimar's spacesuit. Unlike Olimar, Louie is slightly lankier, his nose is rounder and slightly smaller, and his head is pear-shaped.
Louie is known to have a very ravenous appetite.{{cite quote|Louie has become even more problematic. All he does is nod or shake his head. And yet he consumes three times the amount of food that I do. Not cool, Louie...not cool|Captain Olimar|a [[Olimar's_Log_(Exploration_Notes)#Journal_Entry_#2|Pikmin 3 Olimar's Log]]}}{{cite quote|With Louie's help, we’ve collected a pretty good treasure haul so far. I just wish he’d stop eating every fruit he sees.|Captain Olimar|a [[River#Assignment_Report|Olimar's Assignment Report]]}} He has prepared [[Louie's notes|many recipes]] for creatures on PNF-404, even attempting to eat creatures that may be inedible to his species. His notes on the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] suggest he wants to start his own cooking show, called "The Insect Gourmet!"{{cite quote|This precious treat is exceptionally rare. I could sell it back at home for a fortune! Then, I could use the cash to upgrade my kitchen, buy galactic-class ingredients, and even star in my own cooking show... The Insect Gourmet!|Louie|[[Iridescent_Glint_Beetle#Louie's_notes|Louie's notes on the Iridescent Glint Beetle]]}} His favorite color is blue.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Decorative Goo/louie}}|Louie|his ''Pikmin 4'' notes for the [[Decorative Goo]]}}
Louie is known to be very quiet and apathetic towards efforts he does not value. He does not care about anybody but his grandmother, not even his job – he will often abandon ship and attempt to live on PNF-404 forever, or tamper with valuable delivery cargo. Whenever Louie goes rogue, he has a remarkable tendency to survive and brave through dangerous environments extremely quickly and easily, even to [[Dream Den|the depths of]] [[Cavern for a King|extremely long caverns.]] During [[Olimar's Comeback]], he quietly admits that he prefers solitude on PNF-404 to Captain Olimar's company.{{cite quote|I'm enjoying the solitude.|Louie|[[Looking for Louie]]}}
==Biography==
{{spoiler}}
{{spoiler}}


===Earlier life===
After Olimar and Louie get the entire 10,000 [[Poko]]s worth of treasure, Olimar returns to Hocotate, only to find he forgot Louie. Olimar and the President of Hocotate Freight return to the planet to find him. Louie wanders around the planet aimlessly and hopelessly for a bit, as seen in the credit roll of the game. Olimar and the President later find him hidden deep in the [[Dream Den]] with a [[Titan Dweevil]]. They rescue him and send him to the ship's treasure hoard, since the ship used for travel is already full, calling him the [[King Of Bugs]].
As a child, he was quite skinny, and his grandmother always had him eat everything on his plate.{{cite quote|Louie! Are you eating well? When you were a boy, you were quite skinny, so I made you clean your plate. Be sure to cook suspicious food before eating it!|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}} When he lived with his grandmother, he used to be forced to play on a hill behind their house, where she would make him eat [[plant]]s and bugs{{cite quote|At my age, reminiscing is wonderful. Louie, do you remember the hill behind our house? You hated to play outside, so I made you eat bugs and plants. Ah, memories...|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}}, the latter of which kept nibbling on him.{{cite quote|Louie, I sent you some of the preserved bug foods from home. You should share some with your company president. As a kid, bugs loved you so much. Always nibbling...|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}}
 
===Olimar's return===
[[File:Louie P2 opening cutscene.png|thumb|120px|left|Louie during the ''Pikmin 2'' introduction cutscene.]]
Louie's first mission for [[Hocotate Freight]] was to transport a shipment of valuable [[golden pikpik carrot]]s. In it, he was supposedly attacked by a ravenous space bunny, and the carrots were lost. [[The President]] of Hocotate Freight took out a giant loan to cover the losses of the carrots, and had no way to repay the debt other than sell off company assets. On Olimar's return to Hocotate, the President learns of the existence of [[treasure]] on PNF-404, and orders both Olimar and Louie to retrieve objects that can be sold for profit, in order to save the company. A few days after the departure, it is confirmed by a [[Mail|letter]] from the President that Louie has been working at Hocotate Freight for three months by that point.{{cite quote|Louie: It's been three months since you joined our company, and I'm sure you love it. I expect big things from you, Louie. Far bigger things than I expect from Olimar!|The President|a [[Mail|letter]]}}
 
===Paying Hocotate Freight's debt off===
As Olimar and Louie head to the [[Valley of Repose]] at the start of ''Pikmin 2'', Louie falls out of the cockpit, leaving Olimar alone. After making contact with the ship, Louie sets off to return to Olimar at the landing area. On the way, he discovers a [[Red Onion]] and cultivates some Pikmin sprouts, just as Olimar had done when he was stranded in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]]. The player can control Olimar or Louie, and using the latter, make him reach Olimar through the use of the loyal [[Red Pikmin]]. The two then proceed to retrieve the [[Courage Reactor]], the first treasure of the game, effectively starting the adventure.
 
The debt is eventually paid off throughout the game, treasures being found in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Perplexing Pool]], as well as the Valley of Repose. After collecting {{pokos|10,000}} worth of treasure, Olimar blasts off from the planet, noticing too late that Louie is left behind.
 
===The Titan Dweevil===
[[File:P2 Louie on the Titan Dweevil.jpg|thumb|Louie, as seen before the fight with the [[Titan Dweevil]].]]
Olimar and the President of Hocotate Freight return to the planet to find Louie and gather more treasure. Louie aimlessly wanders around the planet for a bit, as seen in the [[credits]] roll of the game. Olimar and the President later find him in the [[Wistful Wild]], hidden deep in the [[Dream Den]], on top of the [[Titan Dweevil]]. They rescue him and send him to the ship's [[Treasure Hoard|treasure hoard]] (since the cockpit is already full), calling him the [[King of Bugs]].
 
It is unknown whether Louie was a captive of the Titan Dweevil, or in actuality controlling it. Some of the pieces of [[mail]] the player receives from Louie's grandmother reflect that he was made to play with bugs by his grandmother as a child, so he has a great deal of experience with them; therefore it is possible he had the ability to control the Titan Dweevil. This is heavily hinted at by the sales pitch on Louie, here denoted as the King of Bugs, which in itself implies this as well, and the fact that [[Dweevil]]s naturally mimic the objects they carry. However, if Louie really was in control of the Titan Dweevil, it was still not him or the Titan Dweevil who attacked, but actually the [[Titan Dweevil Series|treasures]] carried by the Titan Dweevil. Of note is that if Louie is rescued, but the weapons are not, the Dweevil will still be fully aggressive on the next trip to the sublevel. In addition, in the Titan Dweevil's Piklopedia entry, it is noted that the creature has a habit of picking up shiny objects – potentially including Louie's helmet or its antenna.

===Louie's Dark Secret===
{{spoiler section
|[[File:P2 Louie's Dark Secret.jpg|thumb|Louie, eating the golden pikpik carrots.]]
Louie is actually the one responsible for the debt Hocotate Freight suffers. It was truly him who ate the load of golden Pikpik carrots. When he returned from his first mission, he falsified his report to the President, explaining that a "ravenous space bunny" ate all of the carrots. This is revealed in a cutscene, called "Louie's Dark Secret", unlocked by getting a pink flower for all 30 of the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels, which is achieved by completing the stages without losing any Pikmin. A section in Louie's [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|voyage log]] in {{p4}} hints that this was premeditated rather than him simply being unable to control his appetite.
|an unlockable cutscene
}}
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
[[File:NotOlimar.jpg|thumb|left|Alph realizing Louie's identity.]]
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Louie makes his first appearance in a transmission received by the [[Leader|Koppaite explorers]], who mistakenly assume him to be Olimar and set out to find him. After rescuing him from [[Scornet Maestro|a swarm of Scornets]], the Koppaites take him back to the [[S.S. Drake]], and the ship labels him "Hocotatian". They then discover he has gone into a forced sleep caused by his suit; when he wakes up, he lands the Drake in the [[Garden of Hope]] while the crew sleeps, steals their juice supplies and the [[Captain Charlie|captain]]'s rubber duck, and flees. In the process of fleeing, he manages to blow up a cinder-brick wall thus giving access to the second section of the Garden of Hope. It is currently unknown how he managed to do this.
 
Later, the Koppaites find Louie in the remains of the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]. They take him back to the ship and tie him up, retrieving the stolen items and interrogating him on the whereabouts of the actual Captain Olimar, once they learn his identity. The [[S.S. Drake]] now labels him "Food Thief". After rescuing Olimar from the [[Plasm Wraith]], they give Olimar and Louie a lift back to Hocotate. However, after taking off, Alph writes in a note that Louie has gone missing again. Still, the Koppaites do not show much interest in trying to rescue him, as Alph simply says that "I'm sure he will be fine..." He is confirmed to have returned to Hocotate with Olimar in [[Olimar's Comeback]], possibly retconning his second disappearance.
 
===In Olimar's secret logs===
Louie is featured shortly in each of the expedition logs that the player can unlock by collecting every [[secret memo]]. He is usually seen being ambushed by some enemies, like the [[Peckish Aristocrab]] or some [[Scornet]]s. In the last exploration log, he is seen running away before Captain Olimar gets kidnapped by the [[Plasm Wraith]]. He even said that he had a bad feeling about landing at the [[Formidable Oak]]. He appears to have fled to the Twilight River right after.
 
There is an unreleased video that was never announced by [[Nintendo]] and was kept as a secret. This one, unlike Olimar's logs, seems to take place during the Koppaites' hunt for fruit. In it, he explains how he stole the juice from the leaders and found the [[Wayward Moon]], just before being kidnapped by the [[Quaggled Mireclops]].
 
===Mission Mode===
[[File:ForgottenCoveSlurker.jpg|thumb|Louie being held captive by a [[Medusal Slurker]].]]
Louie is an unlockable character in some [[Mission Mode]] levels, as of the {{date|2|December|2013}} [[Downloadable content|DLC pack]]. Louie is always kidnapped by an enemy, and by carrying him back, the player will be able to play as him. He functions the same as any other character, and has a yellow background for his character icon on the bottom left. When saved, he will say something arrogant, like "Took you long enough!".
 
===''Hey! Pikmin''===
Louie is also briefly mentioned on Olimar's notes on the [[Crammed Wraith]]. He says how he wishes Louie was with him, so he could tell with his cooking skills if the creature is actually delicious.
 
===''Pikmin 4''===
In {{p4}}, Louie first appears during the credits and unites with [[Moss]]. While originally ordered by the President to find Olimar, he couldn't recall what Olimar actually looked like and quickly lost interest in his assigned task in favor of looking for creatures to eat.
 
After landing in the [[Giant's Hearth]], the [[rookie Rescue Officer]] encounters Louie and Moss dragging away [[Yorke]], shocking Olimar as he was unaware that Louie was on the planet. After defeating Louie and Moss in [[Dandori Battle]]s in both the [[Giant's Hearth]] and the [[Primordial Thicket]], Louie abandons Moss and flees to the [[Cavern for a King]], pursued by the player deep into the depths despite Louie's assumptions that they will give up and go home. On the final floor of the cavern, Louie challenges the player while riding the [[Ancient Sirehound]] in the final boss encounter of the game. After defeating him, Louie will give the player a series of Side Missions, where the player needs to bring various enemies in caves back to the [[S.S. Beagle]]. For completing all the missions, the player receives the [[Extra Hand]], which lets the rookie Rescue Officer carry objects themselves with the carrying strength of 1 Pikmin.
 
==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
Louie appears as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]''. In addition, both games give Olimar an alternate costume with a blue color scheme, resembling Louie's attire. He also appears as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''Brawl''.
 
In {{ssbu}}, Louie appears as a primary spirit. It can be acquired by Summoning with cores from Snorlax, Postman, and any Grab core

==Naming==
Louie's name is derived from [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]]'s name, as Olimar's is derived from [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]'s. The two bear other similarities as well, such as height differences.
 
Occasionally, Louie will mutter to himself "Olimar – ...Huh?...Olimar?", while idling in ''Pikmin 2''. Luigi says "Mario... Uh... Mario?" occasionally while wandering the mansion in ''[[mariowiki:Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]]''.
 
Inside ''Pikmin 2'''s files, the name "Loozy" ({{j|ルージー|Rūjī}}) is very common, like the internal name for the [[King of Bugs]]. This name can also be found in some prerelease articles{{cite web|http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/hands-on-preview/3100/pikmin-2-gamecube|Pikmin 2 Hands-on Preview|Nintendo World Report|published={{date|20|May|2003}}|retrieved={{date|8|February|2023}}}}, and is mentioned in a developer interview.{{cite web|https://web.archive.org/web/20221206024347/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0405/1_2/index.html|Development staff interview for ''Pikmin 2''|Wayback Machine}}

==Trivia==
*In ''Pikmin 3'', [[Brittany]] states that she was surprised to hear that Louie eats meat, due to Koppaites thinking that Hocotatians usually stick to a vegetable-only diet.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', he only needs one Pikmin to [[carry]] him, when in ''Pikmin 3'' he needs five.
*Louie can somehow cook creatures that are not salvageable for the ship, such as [[Bulborb Larva]]e and [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]].
*In the European version of ''Pikmin 3'''s [[Mission Mode]], Louie refers to himself as Louis when being attacked by a creature ("Louis here... Waaah!"). Based on the fact that this alternate spelling of Louie's name is never used anywhere else in the ''Pikmin'' series, this is likely the result of a [[Mistake|misspelling or mistranslation]].
*Olimar's voice is higher-pitched than Louie's, as seen in-game, during [[cutscene]]s, and even in [[Secret File]]s. However, this is not the case in a few cutscenes of ''Pikmin 3'': when Louie breaks out of the S.S. Drake in the [[Garden of Hope]], or when he interrupts Olimar with "Food!" during the ending cutscene, his voice is higher pitched than normal.
*In ''Pikmin 3'', Louie uses the same whistle sound as all other leaders, and is still using his name call from ''Pikmin 2''. This was later changed in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', where his whistle resembles the pea whistle from ''Pikmin 2'', and his name call is a more generic grunt that vaguely sounds like his name. In ''Pikmin 4'', he keeps his original whistle sound from ''Pikmin 2''.

==References==
It is often of constant debate if Louie was a captive of the Titan Dweevil, or in actuality controlling him. E-mails the player recieves from Louie's grandmother reflect that Louie always loved bugs as a child, so this theory is almost very feasible.

He is actually the one responsible for the debt Hocotate Freight suffers, not a "ravenous space bunny" like he lead you to belive at the start; as it was truly he who ate the load of Golden Pikpik Carrots.
