The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays the Nintendo Switch version of Pikmin 2.
Particularly: In the Nintendo Switch version of Pikmin 2, some controls are explained differently, and have different button icons.

In Pikmin 2, the Hocotate ship serves as a guide to the player, and gives advice when certain events are triggered. This page is a list of dialog from the ship.

Day 1[edit]

The following pieces of dialog are all present on day 1.

Crash landing[edit]

“Brrrzzzzzt! That was close. I have averted a crash landing. Running diagnostics...

Alert! Danger! Louie is missing. He must have somehow fallen out of his cockpit.

...He is not responding via his communicator. He is either flouting protocol...or in danger!

Olimar! You must find Louie before he freezes to death in the cold of this planet!

Wait a moment! Look!”

Onion produces seeds[edit]

...What? You still want to work?! Unacceptable! You may not realize it, but you are exhausted!

You should take a much-needed rest, as you have all the time you need to collect treasure!

Haste makes waste, so take it slow and steady.”

First evening[edit]

“Olimar! Louie! The sun will be setting soon. Call all of the Pikmin to you!

This planet's native nocturnal life-forms are ferocious, and therefore dangerous.

Load your Pikmin into the Onion and yourselves into my hull so we can take refuge in low orbit.

You may be tired of walking, but just one last leap remains! Now, go get that treasure!”

Hole of Beasts[edit]

What force is at work in the depths of the planet?”

Snagret Hole[edit]

This large root must penetrate deep beneath the planet's surface. Fascinating...”

Citadel of Spiders[edit]

...that this hole is filled with wretched, nasty bugs! Vicious, program-terminating bugs!”

Glutton's Kitchen[edit]

Cavern of Chaos[edit]

“Wait... From all appearances, this is a particularly frightening crevasse. The data is horrifying!

Courage is one thing, but recklessness is something else. Perhaps we should turn back?

Well, if you still wish to enter, keep your daring in check and just focus on surviving.”

Hole of Heroes[edit]

Sound analysis indicates a wide variety of creatures nesting here. It is a melting pot of life!

Mr. President, be extremely careful! Olimar, your job is to protect his life at all costs!”

Dream Den[edit]

“Perhaps you will find Louie in here! ...And yet, my CPU is on edge. Ludicrous dangers await!

Beasts lurk at the bottom of the deepest, darkest, most foul, sinister, horribly vile pit.

Do you still wish to enter? Of course you do. Courage is our true treasure!”

Wild Yellow Pikmin[edit]

They are yellow Pikmin. You encountered them when you crashed on this planet, correct?

It would be most helpful if they remember you, like the red ones did. Yes, most helpful.”

Yellow Pikmin[edit]

Perhaps by observing these wild specimens, we can understand more about their true nature...

Krzzt! Ding! I apologize. I was momentarily entranced by them. Now, back to work!”

Blue Pikmin[edit]

“At last, you have encountered them! They seem to have gill-like ducts on their cheeks.

They must be blue Pikmin!

Purple Pikmin[edit]

Perhaps those beady red eyes of theirs allow them to sense objects buried in the dirt.”

First White Pikmin eaten[edit]

Perhaps white Pikmin excrete a poisonous substance when chewed. How fascinating.”

Bulbmin[edit]

Discover Spherical Atlas[edit]

“It's inconceivable that such an immense object has been buried here for so long.

The design on the outer shell resembles the surface of the planet as seen from space!

Perhaps this can be used for something other than salvage.

But how will we ever lift it? I fear that even 100 red Pikmin will be unable to lift it!”

Then everyone will be gaudily clad in gold, like me! ...No. I am unique. And beautiful. Yes.

Olimar, I must ask that you take extreme care so as not to insult or endanger our president.

I am concerned. You must waste no time in finding him!”

Sustained leader damage[edit]

“Your space suit has sustained damage! Excessive damage to the suit could be life threatening.

If you sustain too much damage, I'm afraid to say the day's operations will end immediately.

I have no suit-repair facilities, so you must repair your suit yourself at the end of each day.

Your space suit power meter is the round gauge on the bottom-left. Pay close attention to it.”
