The | The story mode in {{p4}} features [[Pikmin 4 player character|the newest recruit of the Rescue Corps]], and their loyal space-dog companion [[Oatchi]]'s quest to rescue Captain Olimar, the [[Rescue Corps]] that were sent to help him, and a number of [[castaway]]s after a series of freak accidents results in all of them crash-landing on PNF-404. After making contact with the Rescue Corps, they are also tasked with collecting and extracting [[sparklium]] from various treasures across the planet in order to repair the [[S.S. Shepherd]]. Their search for Olimar, the forty-nine missing individuals, and the eight hundred and fifty-nine treasures span six areas and twenty-three caves. New areas are largely unlocked through story progression: Collecting enough sparklium will expand the effective range of the S.S. Shepherd's scanners, allowing for further exploration. | ||
Each day in ''Pikmin 4'' lasts around fifteen minutes. Similar to {{p2}}, there is no day limit, allowing for as much time to be taken as needed. However, time ''does'' pass - albeit slower - while in caverns, requiring a degree of efficiency even when exploring underground. ''Pikmin 4'' returns to only featuring two playable Leaders, being the main player character and their companion Oatchi. The player can upgrade both Oatchi and their character by collecting [[raw material]], which can be then crafted into various upgrades, such as a [[Gear#Pup Scorch Guard|flame-retardant collar for Oatchi.]] | Each day in ''Pikmin 4'' lasts around fifteen minutes.

In addition, in ''Pikmin 3'', the player can go back to any previous day, and going back to day 1 effectively resets the story: some otherwise permanent information, like all charted locations of an area on the [[radar]], and the code used for the [[Secret File]]s, are reset when the player goes to day 1, finishes it, and saves the game. | In addition, in ''Pikmin 3'', the player can go back to any previous day, and going back to day 1 effectively resets the story: some otherwise permanent information, like all charted locations of an area on the [[radar]], and the code used for the [[Secret File]]s, are reset when the player goes to day 1, finishes it, and saves the game. | ||
