Pikmin 2: Difference between revisions

[[Captain Olimar]] returns to [[Hocotate]] after his adventure on the [[Planet of the Pikmin]]. He meets up with the [[President of Hocotate Freight|President]] and a new employee named [[Louie]]. Olimar learns that [[Hocotate Freight]] is in debt because of the failure of a shipment of Golden [[Pikpik carrot]] that was caused by Louie. Olimar's Ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] gets taken away to repay the debt. Olimar drops a bottle cap which was a souvenier for his son. [[The Ship]] absorbs the bottle cap and values it at 100 [[Poko]]s, which reduces the debt repayment from 10,100 pokos, to 10,000 pokos, which is the first goal of the game (although it takes days to do this.). The President then send Olimar and Louie back to the Pikmin planet. He meets new kinds of Pikmin in many underground areas. After the debt is paid, Olimar returns to Hocotate without Louie. The President joins Olimar after the debt is paid off. Both of them look for more treasures and Louie on the planet and discover Louie in the [[Dream Den]] with a [[Titan Dweevil]].

Purple Pikmin are the second kind of Pikmin you'll meet, who are found in the last sublevel of the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are needed to carry the [[Spherical Atlas]] in the cave because Purples have 10 times the strength of an ordinary Pikmin. They are so big that when you throw them, they shake the ground, which may stun enemies and they are the strongest type of Pikmin. They also have an advantage over some bosses. For example, they can stomp on a [[Giant Breadbug]] and they can make a [[Waterwraith]] vulnerable to attack by other Pikmin. Since these pikmin are 10x as heavy as a ordinary pikmin, they are very slow slowpokes.
