Editing Pikmin Reunion

'''Pikmin Reunion''' ({{j|ピクミンとの再会|Pikumin to no Saikai|Pikmin Reunion}}) is the first day of [[Olimar's Comeback]]. It takes place in the [[Tropical Wilds]], and has a unique objective: to grow 100 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

Immediately after the events of the [[Story Mode]], [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] are sent back to [[PNF-404]] by the [[President]] in order to retrieve the [[Hocotate ship]], which was destroyed (presumably by the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]) and abandoned when the two instead hitched a ride with the [[Koppai]]tes. This day shows them growing and collecting the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] they will use for the remainder of this trip.

This assignment takes place in the area immediately surrounding the landing site in the Tropical Wilds. Unique to all other assignments, the mission is to [[pluck]] 100 Pikmin sprouts to prepare for the rest of Olimar's Comeback, though the Pikmin grown on this day are not actually used on later days. Each alive and unburied Pikmin is worth {{pokos|10|y}}.

 

A Red [[Onion]] is in the standard landing site, and a Blue Onion is in the lake nearby. Nearby are lots of [[pellet]]s and [[Enemy|enemies]]. The goal of the mission is to collect these pellets and enemies as quickly as possible. There is a [[dirt wall]] near the Red Onion, and destroying it can allow faster access to some pellets and enemies. There is also a [[bridge]] over the lake, and building the bridge allows access to more pellets and enemies. Building the bridge is necessary to grow enough Pikmin to complete the stage. Collecting most but not all pellets and enemies is required to reach 100 Pikmin.

Once the day starts, whistle [[Louie]] and pluck the 5 [[Red Pikmin]] sprouts. Then use the Pikmin to break down the [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] around the [[Onion|Red Onion]]. After plucking the newly born Red Pikmin, split into two groups, the Red and Blue group. The Red group will then tear down the [[Dirt wall]] on the left of the Red Onion. While doing so, swap to the Blue group to pluck the [[Blue Pikmin]] sprouts scattered around the Blue Onion. After that throw 5 Blue Pikmin at the Pellet Posy on the rock, and send the remaining Pikmin to defeat the [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and harvest their corpses.

 

 

 

After that, cross the bridge, pluck the Red Pikmin sprouts, defeat the second Bulborb, and harvest it. Go to the left of the defeated Bulborb to pluck the last Red Pikmin sprouts. Swap to the Blue group and pluck the Blue Pikmin sprouts on the right where the second Bulborb once was. Return to the Red Onion and pluck the last few Pikmin to win the Platinum Medal.

{{transcript| We're here on this planet for the fourth time in order to recover my company's ship, which we had to leave behind last time. But all I really want to do is finish the job so I can return to my family. I'll need the {{color|Pikmin|orange}} for that, but our crash landing startled them badly and they seem to have scattered. My first order of business will be to round a few of them up.|block=y}}

| {{icon|Olimar|v=neutral}}{{transcript|If we had a third person, we could cross here. Alas...}}

| {{icon|Olimar|v=neutral}}{{transcript|Oops. No going through there.}}

| {{icon|Louie|v=neutral}}{{transcript|Ugh. Roadblocks.}}

| {{icon|Olimar|v=neutral}}{{transcript|To prepare for tomorrow, let's pull out those buried Pikmin.}}

| {{icon|Louie|v=neutral}}{{transcript|Buried Pikmin... I'll pull out...}}

{{transcript|Our landing scared the poor {{color|Pikmin|orange}}, but they've calmed down since. Unfortunately, we miscalculated and touched down some distance from the Onion. I'm not even sure where the ship is anymore. There are dangerous predators on all sides, but we have a job to do nonetheless.|block=y}}

== Trivia ==

* Olimar's quote when approaching the ledge with the blue 5 pellet laments how he wishes there was a third person with them to cross the gap. This is similar to the [[Area Hints (Exploration Notes)#With one more person...|data file]] in the same area in [[Story Mode]], where he says the same.
