Meanwhile, some Pikmin make their way through a crack at the back of the backhoe, where the battery is. Two Yellow Pikmin approach and interact with a battery post, learning that it transmits [[Electricity|electrical current]]. Delighted, they hold on to the post to feel the discharge through their bodies, and when doing so, their leafs evolve to buds, and begin blinking like a Christmas tree light set. A curious Blue Pikmin nearby attempts to do the same and touches one of the Yellows, electrocuting itself and dying, as evidenced by its [[spirit]]. | Meanwhile, some Pikmin make their way through a crack at the back of the backhoe, where the battery is.

The scene changes to some Pikmin playing around on a pile of tubes. As a Red Pikmin looks inside one of the tubes that are lying down, a Blue Pikmin behind it naughtily kicks it inside. The Red Pikmin slides all the way and comes out on the other end, along with some dust. Other Pikmin come out of tubes, carrying some dust and some treasures, including a mushroom similar to [[mariowiki:Super Mushroom|the one in the ''Mario series]] or a [[Spotcap]]. Above them, a [[mariowiki:Warp Pipe|green tube]] begins shaking, and [[mariowiki:Coin|coins]] come out, accompanied by the coin sound effect from ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''. The "pipe entered" sound from the same game, and a Red Pikmin with dust on its face comes out; the dust clouds make it look like [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]. The Mario Pikmin jumps out, accompanied with the jump sound and main theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' | The scene changes to some Pikmin playing around on a pile of tubes.

On their way, they run into a stream of fire emitted by the Fiery Blowhog from before, now inside the vehicle's treads; it only manages to shoot some flames after it resumes spitting mud from its snout. Interestingly, one Blue Pikmin is caught by the flames, and its leaf catches on fire, but unlike what happens in the games, the fire extinguishes itself automatically and the Pikmin continues unharmed. The Bulborb eventually catches a Blue Pikmin, tosses it into the air, and swallows it. This Pikmin does die, as its [[spirit]] can be seen floating in the air. It also catches a Red Pikmin, which it chews before swallowing. Right after, it spits its stem and leaf, which release the Pikmin's spirit; these spirits follow the ''Pikmin 3'' style. The Bulborb and Pikmin continue running, with one Pikmin even crying, until they all eventually reach a dead end on the backhoe's bucket. | On their way, they run into a stream of fire emitted by the Fiery Blowhog from before, now inside the vehicle's treads; it only manages to shoot some flames after it resumes spitting mud from its snout.

At this point, a large number of Yellow Pikmin hold hands and enjoy the flow of electricity from the backhoe's battery, while emitting lights like before. Just as the Bulborb roars at its prey, one Yellow Pikmin hanging onto a jumper cable touches a Pikmin in the chain, closing a circuit in the process. There is a large spark from all the Pikmin, and the backhoe's engine begins working. The machine's arm rises up into the air, lifting the bucket and the creatures within. This lift makes Olimar lose his balance and fall down, eventually landing on one of the control sticks. One of the Pikmin that was with him falls down too, and lands on his head, making him whistle slightly; this new weight is enough to turn the lever forward. | At this point, a large number of Yellow Pikmin hold hands and enjoy the flow of electricity from the backhoe's battery, while emitting lights like before.

The lever's pull curves the bucket, making the Pikmin and Bulborb fall off. While falling, the Pikmin's leaves turn into flowers, acting as parachutes. The scene stops, and the Bulborb imagines itself creating an umbrella out of the red spotted part of its back. When it realizes that that's impossible, the thought bubble breaks, and, horrified, the creature continues falling to its doom. It lands on the floor with a thud and becomes unconscious not long after. The Pikmin gently land on top of the creature, and during that time, a descending Blue Pikmin bumps against a Red Pikmin that had already landed, causing the "[[mariowiki:Green shell|Koopa shell]] kicked" sound from ''Super Mario Bros.'' to play. Olimar eventually shows up and approaches the Pikmin and Bulborb. The Pikmin that came with Olimar all rush and swarm the beast, bumping against Olimar on the way. As they attack it, Olimar faces the camera with a drop of sweat on his face. | The lever's pull curves the bucket, making the Pikmin and Bulborb fall off.

*In the scene where the Red and Blue Pikmin are running, before they get eaten, but not killed, a police siren can be heard, possibly referencing how police lights are generally red and blue. | *In the scene where the Red and Blue Pikmin are running, before they get eaten, but not killed, a police siren can be heard, possibly referencing how police lights are generally red and blue. | ||
*There are a total of 3 Pikmin deaths within the short movies, all of which occur in ''Occupational Hazards''. A Blue Pikmin gets electrocuted, and a Red and a Blue Pikmin get eaten by a Bulborb. It's also possible that the Bulborb dies, as its body appears censored before the machine's bucket falls on it. | *There are a total of 3 Pikmin deaths within the short movies, all of which occur in ''Occupational Hazards''.

*After the Research Pod flies away, the line of Pikmin that jump off to hit the seesaw ends with 2 Blues, 2 Yellows, and 2 Purples. On the next camera shot, the line ends with 2 Blues, 2 Yellows, ''2 Reds'', and 2 Purples. Later on, the 2 Purples move in front of the 2 Yellows and 2 Reds, but this was likely Olimar's decision, so that they would line up with the would-be Purple Pikmin at ground level. | *After the Research Pod flies away, the line of Pikmin that jump off to hit the seesaw ends with 2 Blues, 2 Yellows, and 2 Purples.
