("Again" isn't accurate here. There's growing evidence that this is a retelling of the original Pikmin's story, such as the Koppaites talking about the impending food crisis and Louie's last Voyage Log entry suggesting that he hasn't eaten those golden Pikpik carrots yet.) Tag: Mobile edit |

Having crash-landed on [[PNF-404]], [[Captain Olimar]] works together with some of the wildlife of the planet – [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[Moss]] – to retrieve [[S.S. Dolphin|his broken ship]]'s scattered [[ship part]]s. When he finds his [[Interstellar Radio]], he sends out a distress signal in hopes of getting rescued. After the signal reaches the [[Rescue Corps]], they depart on a rescue mission, however, they too crash land on the planet and became stranded. It is now up to [[Pikmin 4 player character|their newest recruit]] to rescue both Olimar and the Rescue Corps. | Having crash-landed on [[PNF-404]], [[Captain Olimar]] works together with some of the wildlife of the planet – [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and the space dog [[Moss]] – to retrieve [[S.S.

The Leafling is later revealed to be Olimar himself, who was forced to return to the planet after repairing his ship when Moss stowed away and became dangerously ill. His life support failed soon after crashing a second time, and the Pikmin transformed him into a Leafling by bringing him to the Onion. | ||
The Rescue Corps is successful in rescuing and curing Olimar, but are forced to return to the planet when [[Oatchi]] began to sicken in the same way that Moss did. Noticing the leaf that had been growing from Oatchi's tail, Olimar suspects that any organism with leaves like that of a Pikmin are unable to survive away from PNF-404. Soon afterwards, the Rescue Corps receives a list of the remaining castaways and note that a famous veterinarian from Koppai | The Rescue Corps is successful in rescuing and curing Olimar, but are forced to return to the planet when [[Oatchi]] began to sicken in the same way that Moss did.

They decide to search for the veterinarian in the hopes that she might be able to cure Oatchi. | ||
Arriving at the Giant's Hearth, they see Louie and Moss departing with one of the Koppaites, who is not transformed into a leafling despite being taken into an Onion on account of the glow sap the Koppaites were using as rations. After beating Louie in a Dandori Battle, the two of them are able to rescue the Koppaite as well as a second Koppaite, who direct them deeper into the forest. They confront and defeat Louie in one final Dandori Battle within the Primordial Thicket, Louie runs away, leaving Nelle, the veterinarian, and Moss behind. | Arriving at the Giant's Hearth, they see Olimar's coworker [[Louie]] and Moss departing with one of the Koppaites, who is not transformed into a leafling despite being taken into an Onion on account of the glow sap the Koppaites were using as rations.

Nelle informs the crew that they will need to find cells from a non-leafling dog in order to cure Oatchi. Louie’s voyage log reveals that he found [[Ancient Sirehound|some kind of large dog]], whose den is at the very back of the [[Primordial Thicket]], and the crew decides to follow him there. At the very bottom of its den, the [[Cavern for a King]], Louie climbs on top of the very large dog, who attacks. Defeating the dog yields its collar, which has enough hair on it to extract cells to create a cure. Securing it and Louie, the Rescue Corps returns to base. | Nelle informs the crew that they will need to find cells from a non-leafling dog in order to cure Oatchi.

If the game is ended without rescuing all castaways or collecting everything, returning to the save file will reveal that the crew was uncomfortable with leaving castaways or treasure behind, and have decided to delay the launch. Returning to a save file where all castaways and treasures collected will have Collin mention that the Rescue Corps HQ has asked them to delay their departure until they've finished preparing to retrieve all the castaways. | If the game is ended without rescuing all castaways or collecting everything, returning to the save file will reveal that the crew was uncomfortable with leaving castaways or treasure behind, and have decided to delay the launch.
