'''Castaways''' are people stranded on [[PNF-404]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is one of [[Pikmin 4 player character|the player's]] missions to find and save all of them, whether they be missing members of the [[Rescue Corps]] or civilian castaways.
'''Castaways''' are people stranded on [[PNF-404]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is one of the [[rookie Rescue Officer]]'s missions to find and save all of them, whether they be missing members of the [[Rescue Corps]] or civilian castaways.


Castaways are typically found in the final sublevel of a [[cave]] and have to be carried back to the [[S.S. Beagle]], upon which they are called '''rescues'''. They all have a weight of 3 (contrary to the weights of characters in previous entries: 4 in {{p1}}, 1 in {{p2}}, and 5 in {{p3}}), and a maximum number of carriers of 6. The following day, they can be talked to at the [[Rescue Command Post]]. Some rescues unlock features like the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]], or give the player [[Mission (Pikmin 4)#Side Missions|side missions]] to complete. Each rescue also earns 1 Pup Drive for [[Oatchi]], which can be used to unlock new abilities for him.

[[File:ShepherdRescue.png|thumb|[[Shepherd]] in need of rescue inside the [[Burrow of Beginnings]].]]
While castaways are found at specific locations, and these locations can be visited in any order, the order in which castaways are rescued will always be the same. For example, no matter if the player's first rescue is in the [[Last-Frost Cavern]] or the [[Crackling Cauldron]], it will always be [[Russ]] that is saved. [[Leafling]]s are unlocked separately from other castaways, and do not follow the same trend, being found at specific [[Dandori Battle]]s or [[Dandori Challenge]]s.

[[Leafling]]s are rescued separately from other castaways, and while specific leaflings are found in specific locations, the character the leaflings are cured into also has a defined order independent of what leaflings are rescued.


While [[Shepherd]] is counted as a rescue, she is not a castaway as she is found in a different context, where instead of taking her to the [[S.S. Beagle]], the player just has to defeat the 3 [[Bulborb Larva]]e surrounding her in the [[Burrow of Beginnings]].

Castaways are people stranded on PNF-404 in Pikmin 4. It is one of the rookie Rescue Officer's missions to find and save all of them, whether they be missing members of the Rescue Corps or civilian castaways.

Castaways are typically found in the final sublevel of a cave and have to be carried back to the S.S. Beagle, upon which they are called rescues. They all have a weight of 3 and a maximum number of carriers of 6. The following day, they can be talked to at the Rescue Command Post. Some rescues unlock features like the Piklopedia, or give the player side missions to complete. Each rescue also earns 1 Pup Drive for Oatchi, which can be used to unlock new abilities for him.

Certain castaways have instead been turned into leaflings and must be rescued by completing a Dandori Challenge or a Dandori Battle, though some leaflings are found in caves just like regular castaways.

Rescue order[edit]

While castaways are found at specific locations, and these locations can be visited in any order, the order in which castaways are rescued will always be the same. For example, no matter if the player's first rescue is in the Last-Frost Cavern or the Crackling Cauldron, it will always be Russ that is saved. Leaflings are rescued separately from other castaways, and while specific leaflings are found in specific locations, the character the leaflings are cured into also has a defined order independent of what leaflings are rescued.

While Shepherd is counted as a rescue, she is not a castaway as she is found in a different context, where instead of taking her to the S.S. Beagle, the player just has to defeat the 3 Bulborb Larvae surrounding her in the Burrow of Beginnings.
