The story begins with the camera focused on a rusty bolt in a metal wall. As the bolt comes out, so do a [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and a [[Blue Pikmin]], entangled into one another in a twirling pattern. After untwisting themselves, the Red Pikmin picks up the bolt and begins [[carrying]] it away. While doing so, the viewer gets a look at a large portion of a construction site, where dozens of Pikmin can be seen exploring about. The Red Pikmin can be seen heading towards a large, abandoned {{w|backhoe}}. | The story begins with the camera focused on a rusty bolt in a metal wall.

As they twirl their stems, they themselves spin in the air to return to normal; a nearby Red Pikmin becomes dizzy from watching them. In a different location, a Red Pikmin tosses {{w|grommets}} down a ledge, where another Red Pikmin down below catches them with its stem while a Yellow and a Blue watch nearby. After four grommets, a pile of them fall down on the Pikmin at once, crushing it. This doesn't kill it, however, as it continues to move around, scaring away the other two Pikmin. The Red Pikmin from above falls down on top of it, and [[pluck]]s the Pikmin from the grommets' holes. | ||

A nut tower made of Pikmin falls down soon after. The camera pans out, revealing hundreds of Pikmin around the area, all working on their tasks. Only one White and two [[Purple Pikmin]] can be seen in this scene. | ||
As the action continues, a Red Pikmin is seen jumping from atop the backhoe as [[Captain Olimar]] watches its descent. Following this, Olimar [[whistle]]s two Blue Pikmin to fall down from the same spot, holding hands. Right afterwards, a Red Pikmin jumps up from below, carrying a bolt. Olimar turns back, and whistles the Pikmin, ordering it to bring the piece to a spot. Olimar then issues two Yellow Pikmin to drop down, and again, another Pikmin comes back up, this time with a nut. | As the action continues, a Red Pikmin is seen jumping from atop the backhoe as [[Captain Olimar]] watches its descent.

A large pile of construction utilities, like bolts, nuts and screws lies under the [[Hocotate ship|Research Pod]]'s beam. The Pod sucks up the objects, one by one, making the same noise heard when a Mii ball turns into a Mii in ''{{w|Wii Party}}''{{'s}} "Roll to the Goal" game. After some parts, it stops. Nearby, some Pikmin are playing around on the driver's seat of the vehicle, under a yellow helmet. They lift up the helmet to spot the Research Pod flying away; as it flies, the camera reveals the top of the backhoe, covered in Pikmin. | A large pile of construction utilities, like bolts, nuts and screws lies under the [[Hocotate ship|Research Pod]]'s beam.

Suddenly, a loud metal screeching noise is heard. The gears that held the backhoe's bucket in place begin to fall off and detach, followed by the same happening to the whole arm of the machine. In a panic, Olimar [[whistle]]s the Pikmin several times to get them out of the way. They look up at the incoming objects and run off. When they leave the Bulborb's carcass, it becomes censored with a {{w|pixelization}} pattern; the reason could be as a joke: the Bulborb is so badly beaten up that its appearance is too gruesome to show. The bucket falls down and traps the Bulborb in, but no Pikmin gets trapped under it, although they are tossed aside as if they were hit by a [[bomb rock]] explosion. The rest of the backhoe falls apart in a huge cloud of dust. | Suddenly, a loud metal screeching noise is heard.

The Research Pod returns at this point, and starts scanning the wreckage. Once it is done, it points at Olimar and displays some holographic text with the total value of the junk: {{pokos|100}}. After a second however, another zero is added to the right, and then more and more. The real value of the backhoe's remains turns out to be {{pokos|1000000000000007}}, one quadrillion and seven Pokos – because of the seven, the Red Bulborb's carcass is likely included as well, as per its value in ''Pikmin 2''. This sum is over 37000000000 (thirty seven billion) times the total amount of [[treasure]]s in ''Pikmin 2''. Bewildered, Olimar spins around and poses as the Pikmin celebrate. | The Research Pod returns at this point, and starts scanning the wreckage.
