Hm, instead of "measuring" canons, which isn't really a thing, I think it's worth being more objective and mention why H!P both is and isn't canon.

Pure canon is all information that is undoubtedly canon; events that "really happened" in the ''Pikmin'' universe. This is mostly decided by the parties that develop the games and media related to the ''Pikmin'' franchise, meaning [[Nintendo EAD]] and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. | Pure canon is all information that is undoubtedly canon; events that "really happened" in the ''Pikmin'' universe.

Pikmin'' is generally considered canon. Anything that happens within the story mode of each main ''Pikmin'' game is canonical. Bonus content, such as the [[Cutscenes#Louie's Dark Secret|reward]] obtained by completing all [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|''Pikmin 2'' Challenge Mode]] levels with a pink flower, can vary in canon, but whenever it does not contradict with – and makes sense within the context of – the main story mode, it is considered canon. | ||

There are three endings to ''Pikmin 3'', depending on how much fruit the player obtains. If they don't bring back enough fruit fast enough, they will run out of [[juice]] and the Koppaites will presumably starve to death. If they left some pieces of fruit behind, the narrator will state that it is unclear if Koppai will prosper, during the epilogue. But if the player got them all, the announcer will proclaim a bright future for the planet. At this point, none of the three endings have been confirmed or denied to be canon. | There are three endings to ''Pikmin 3'', depending on how much fruit the player obtains.

Some undetermined time after the events of ''Pikmin'', Captain Olimar is flying through space on his new ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin II]], and comes across a field of asteroids. He tries to dodge them, but fails and crash-lands on an [[Hey! Pikmin planet|unknown planet]] with Pikmin and old enemies returning in it, hinting that it just might be PNF-404 again. However, its geography is completely different than the confirmed PNF-404 in ''Pikmin 3''. The S.S Dolphin II even calls it an "unknown planet"{{cite quote|They responded to your whistle! Interesting that their behavior is universal across different planets.|[[S.S. Dolphin II]]|a remark about the Pikmin}}, making it harder to believe that this is PNF-404 again. To get his ship back in working condition, he has to recover some [[treasure]]s found throughout the land, so that the S.S. Dolphin II can extract their [[Sparklium]] to help power the rocket. For this, he makes his way through eight [[sector]]s worth of areas. At some point in this adventure, he realizes that the ship lost an important piece, the [[Sparklium Converter]]. Through some effort, him and the ship figure out that the piece lies in one final sector, [[The Final Stretch]]. There, he comes face to face with the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]], and using the help of some Pikmin, manages to kill the creature, expose the parasitic [[Leech Hydroe]], and recover the missing ship part. With the S.S. Dolphin II all set, Olimar gives the Pikmin one final goodbye, lifts off, and heads home safely. | Some undetermined time after the events of ''Pikmin'', Captain Olimar is flying through space on his new ship, the [[S.S.
