*In ''Pikmin 2'', the S.S. Dolphin is sold off. A data file from ''Pikmin 3'' showcases Olimar's desire to get it back. However, if ''Pikmin 2'' takes place before ''Pikmin 4'', then Olimar should not have the S.S. Dolphin. However it is highly likely that after the amount of money they made in ''Pikmin 2'', the president bought the ship back, only to sell it off again when they went into debt in ''Pikmin 3''. This would also explain why Olimar still refers to himself as the captain of the S.S. Dolphin in ''Pikmin 3'', since the ship was only just sold off. | *In ''Pikmin 2'', the S.S. Dolphin is sold off.

*If ''Pikmin 2'' takes place after ''Pikmin 4'', numerous things would be different. [[White Pikmin]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] wouldn’t be new, the ship would already know about the [[Waterwraith]] and [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]], etc. Given that Nintendo made numerous changes to the text of ''Pikmin 2'' when it was ported to the Nintendo Switch, ''Pikmin 4''-related or not, such as renaming the Caustic Dweevil to the Hydro Dweevil or tweaking dialog from the ship and Olimar, the fact they didn’t change dialog or Treasure Hoard notes to be more vague about the creatures and objects mentioned above to fit into this new timeline seems to mean ''Pikmin 2'' is either not after ''Pikmin 4'' or that ''Pikmin 2'' is not canon and that events similar to ''Pikmin 2'' are. | *If ''Pikmin 2'' takes place after ''Pikmin 4'', numerous things would be different.

*In Olimar's notes for the [[Cupid's Grenade]], Olimar still seems to reference the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] and explicitly mentions two varieties of berries, despite only one existing in ''Pikmin 4''. This is likely just a mistake, as the majority of Olimar's notes on returning treasures are recycled and are only rewritten when they explicitly mention something exclusive to Pikmin 2 by name. | |||
