Brittany's signal in the Garden of Hope 1

• US text:
  • “I've tracked down Brittany's signal. Right now, finding her is my highest priority.”
  • “However, I'm also very concerned that our cosmic-drive key is now missing.”
  • “If I don't find that, the Drake won't be able to fly fast enough to get us back to Koppai. That would be very, very bad.”
• Europe text:
  • “Brittany's signal seems to be coming from over there!”
  • “Right now, meeting up with her has got to be my top priority.”
  • “Having said that, I'm also quite worried by the loss of our cosmic drive key.”
  • “Without it, the Drake can't reach a high enough speed to get us home.”

Brittany's signal in the Garden of Hope 2

• US text:
  • “I'm picking up a signal...”
  • “It must be Brittany! I need to locate her immediately!”
• Europe text:
  • “The signal is coming from...around here!”
  • “It must be Brittany! I had better hurry up and help her...”

Brittany mentioned the Sunseed Berry 1

• US text:
  • “What's this giant piece of fruit that Brittany mentioned?”
• Europe text:
  • “What's this giant fruit-like object that Brittany mentioned?”

Brittany mentioned the Sunseed Berry 2

• US text:
  • “Before I do anything else, I need to regroup with Brittany and recover that fruit. Then we'll determine whether it's edible by using the S.S. Drake's computer to analyze it.”
• Europe text:
  • “Before I do anything else, I need to regroup with Brittany and recover that piece of fruit.”
  • “We won't even know if it's edible until it's been analysed by the SS Drake's computer, though.”

Retrieved the Sunseed Berry without meeting up with Brittany

• US text:
  • “Yesterday I retrieved our first piece of edible matter. I'm sure Brittany would be very happy about that.”
  • “I guess I need to find her before I can tell her.”
• Europe text:
  • “Yesterday was an occasion worthy of celebration - I managed to retrieve our very first piece of edible matter on this planet!”
  • “I'm sure this news will make Brittany very happy...”
  • “But I guess I need to find her before I can tell her!”

Onions merged

• US text:
  • “The Onions fused into one!”
  • “How did they manage that? It's absolutely fascinating...”
  • “I'd like to take a look in there if I get a chance.”
• Europe text:
  • “The Onions fused into one!”
  • “How intriguing... I wonder how they did that?”
  • “I'd love to take a peek inside, if I ever get the chance.”

Retrieved the Sunseed Berry and got Rock Pikmin

• US text:
  • “Yesterday was an event worthy of celebration... I found my first piece of edible matter! I'm sure Brittany will be happy too!”
  • “I don't know what her reaction will be when she sees the Pikmin though...”
• Europe text:
  • “Yesterday was an event worthy of celebration... I found my first piece of edible matter!”
  • “I'm sure Brittany will be pleased!”
  • “She might be quite surprised when she sees the Pikmin though...”

Reunited with Brittany

• US text:
  • “That was amazing how the Pikmin freed you like that!”
  • “I am indeed fortunate that they were present. They appear to be intelligent, friendly creatures.”
  • “Perhaps we can get them to help us look for fruit...”
  • “We need to focus every drop of our energy on getting the Pikmin to help us gather fruit!”
  • “Well, we also need to find the cosmic-drive key. We won't make it home without that.”
  • “Right! Let's focus all of our energy on retrieving food and the key! I will think about nothing else!”
  • “Except for finding the captain. We need to rescue him as well.”
  • “...Right. So we'll just get the food, the key, and the captain! Sigh. Is that everything...?”
• Europe text:
  • “That was amazing how the Pikmin smashed a way out for you!”
  • “Yes, I was lucky to have them around. They seem like smart creatures - and friendly, too!”
  • “Hey, maybe we can get them to help us gather food! That IS why we're here, after all.”
  • “Good idea! But don't forget that we also need to find the...”
  • “Cosmic drive key! You're right! What was I thinking?! We can't get home without that. It's crucial!”
  • “Yep! But, err, actually... I was referring to the Captain. We do need to find him too...”
  • “Focus on what's important, Alph! There are only so many hours in a day!”
  • “But...”
  • “Oh, very well. I suppose we can keep our eyes peeled for the Captain as we go along.”

Alph and Brittany retrieved the Sunseed Berry

• US text:
  • “We finally discovered edible matter!”
  • “After close analysis, my conclusion is that the fruit juice is delicious.”
  • “I've never tasted anything like that on Koppai!”
  • “We need to continue our search. If there is more to be had...we should have it.”
  • “Right! Let's focus all of our energy on finding more fruit and absolutely nothing else!”
  • “We still need the cosmic-drive key! We can't get home without that.”
  • “Right! Let's focus all our energy on retrieving fruit and the key and absolutely nothing else!”
  • “The captain. We still need to find the captain, as well.”
  • “...Right. So we'll just get the food, the key, and the captain! Is there anything else I'm forgetting...?”
• Europe text:
  • “We've finally discovered edible matter!”
  • “Yes! And after careful analysis, my conclusion is that the fruit juice... is delicious!”
  • “I've never tasted anything like it on Koppai!”
  • “There's got to be more where that came from. Let's focus our efforts on finding as much as we can!”
  • “But don't forget the cosmic drive key! It's no use finding fruit if we can't get it back to Koppai.”
  • “Right! Gathering food and locating the cosmic drive key. That should be more than enough to keep us busy.”
  • “And, err, don't forget the Captain. We need to rescue him as well!”
  • “The Captain? Oh yeah. He almost slipped my mind.”
  • “Well I guess we can pick him up along the way.”

Searching for Charlie

• US text:
  • “We've lost someone very dear to us: our esteemed Captain Charlie.”
  • “Don't say that! He's still alive! I know he is!”
  • “Relax, Alph! I was only joking!”
  • “Oh yeah, well, I was just joking, too. But you can stop joking now. And don't ever joke again.”
• Europe text:
  • “We've lost someone very dear to us, our esteemed Captain Charlie.”
  • “Don't say that! The Captain's still alive! I know he is!”
  • “Hee hee hee! Relax, Alph! You don't like anyone making fun of the Captain, do you?”

Noticed the Armored Mawdad's signal

• US text:
  • “I wonder what's sending out that strange signal... I hope it's something edible!”
  • “Although I can't quite imagine a signal that one could eat...”
  • “Say! Maybe it's coming from the captain's KopPad!”
  • “That is indeed a possibility. We should investigate this immediately.”
  • “Immediate investigation initiated!”
• Europe text:
  • “The mysterious signal coming from the other side of that wall... What do you suppose it could be?”
  • “Food, maybe? That's what I'm hoping, anyway!”
  • “Umm... By my estimation, the probability of that is low.”
  • “Hold on... Maybe we're picking up the Captain's KopPad signal!”
  • “The Captain? Oh. Him. Right... Well I suppose we'd better go and check it out, yes?”
  • “Definitely!”

Got Olimar's data file near the Armored Mawdad

• US text:
  • “It would appear that beings from the planet Hocotate have visited this planet at some point.”
  • “So they'd come all the way out to this faraway place just to look for treasure...?”
  • “Seems like the stories about them being incomparable treasure lovers were true after all!”
  • “How nice for them... Spending their time on frivolous treasure hunts while we experience a food crisis...”
• Europe text:
  • “It would appear that the Hocotatians have visited this planet at some point.”
  • “So they'd come all the way out to this far-away place just to look for treasure...?”
  • “Seems like the stories about them being incomparable treasure-lovers were true after all!”
  • “How nice for them... Spending their time on frivolous treasure-hunts while we're in the grip of a food crisis...”

Saw the Armored Mawdad

• US text:
  • “The organisms on this planet are huge!”
  • “Yes, the fauna has been quite impressive in size. The chitinous organism was especially so.”
  • “So, do you think that thing might have swallowed the captain?!”
  • “It's possible... I picked up a signal from somewhere inside the beast.”
  • “Inside the... Wait, you don't really mean the actual inside of the— Yes, you do. I see. How awful.”
• Europe text:
  • “I never expected to see such an enormous creature on this planet!”
  • “For some strange reason, it was emitting a signal...”
  • “Wait a minute! I bet that thing has swallowed the Captain! We have to get him out!”
  • “True... But do we though? I mean, he'll probably come out when he's ready. Let's not rush him.”
  • “Haha! You're so funny, Brittany! Let's go!”

Defeated the Armored Mawdad

• US text:
  • “Now that we have defeated the Armored Mawdad, we may refocus our efforts on finding more fruit!”
  • “But first, we better go get that communication device the Mawdad vomited up!”
  • “That device is probably covered in monster saliva, half-digested food, and intestinal fluids.”
  • “Awesome!”
  • “OK, well, I can take it apart to see if we could use any of its pieces... after I wipe it down thoroughly.”
  • “Good idea. But make sure to save me a sample of any goop you get.”
• Europe text:
  • “Now that we've finished off that enormous creature, we can refocus our efforts on finding more fruit!”
  • “Um...perhaps we'd better go and retrieve the communications device it regurgitated first.”
  • “Ew! It's probably covered in monster saliva and other vile goo.”
  • “My engineer's instinct tells me that it would be worth taking it apart and having a look. We might be able to salvage some of the parts.”
  • “I suppose so. Besides, if things get too yucky, we can split up and I can get on with something else.”

Recovered the Data Glutton

• US text:
  • “Brilliant, Alph! You expanded the Drake's receiver range!”
  • “Aw, thanks... They don't call me the keen engineer for nothing!”
  • “Nobody calls you that.”
  • “I know...”
  • “The origin of the signal is unclear...”
  • “Maybe it's the captain! We should investigate this at once!”
  • “Good idea, Alph! Let's do it.”
• Europe text:
  • “Good work, Alph! You've really expanded our receiver range!”
  • “There's an unknown signal coming from over there.”
  • “A food-type signal? Then what are we waiting for?”
  • “No...I don't think that's it.”
  • “I've got a feeling that this time the signal really is coming from the Captain! Let's go and see!”

Separated from Brittany again 1

• US text:
  • “I can't shake the idea that the S.S. Drake's crash was my fault...”
  • “I need to talk to the captain, but I'm going to need Brittany's help to track him down!”
• Europe text:
  • “I can't shake the idea that the SS Drake's crash was my fault...”
  • “Anyway, there's work to be done! First I need to reunite with Brittany, then we can look for the Captain.”

Separated from Brittany again 2

• US text:
  • “I sure hope Brittany is OK...”
• Europe text:
  • “I really hope Brittany's OK...”

Separated from Brittany again 3

• US text:
  • “I need to build a bridge in order to reunite with Brittany. I'd better find some sturdy fragments that I can put together! That bridge won't build itself!”
• Europe text:
  • “It looks like I need a bridge in order to meet up with Brittany.”
  • “We can't build a bridge out of thin air though... We need to find some fragments to use!”

Separated from Brittany again 4

• US text:
  • “I hope Brittany is OK and not too hungry... Or angry... Or cold...”
• Europe text:
  • “I hope Brittany's not too hungry...or angry.”

Reunited with Brittany

• US text:
  • “I'm so relieved you're OK, Brittany!”
  • “It was a close call. I never would have made it without those Yellow Pikmin.”
  • “These little guys sure are helpful!”
  • “If our mission is a success, we should have a party to thank all of the little Pikmin!”
• Europe text:
  • “I'm so relieved you're OK, Brittany!”
  • “It was a close call. I'd never have been able to escape without those Yellow Pikmin.”
  • “I know. We'd never have found each other that first time either without the help of the Pikmin.”
  • “Once we've completed our mission here, we should throw a party for the Pikmin to thank them!”

Talking about reuniting with Charlie

• US text:
  • “Alph? What's wrong?”
  • “Oh, it's the captain... Do you think he's lonely out there by himself?”
  • “Come on, Alph! Get a hold of yourself! You're not helping the captain by moping around!”
  • “The captain wants us to complete our mission! He wants us to save the people of Koppai!”
  • “What about saving him?”
  • “That, too!”
• Europe text:
  • “Alph? What's wrong?”
  • “Oh, it's the Captain... I just can't stop thinking about him.”
  • “Come on now! Pull yourself together! The Captain wouldn't have wanted you to mope about!”
  • “He'd have wanted us to soldier on for the good of Koppai. Let's make sure he didn't die in vain!”
  • “Um, hold on... Who said the Captain was dead?”

Saw the Vehemoth Phosbat

• US text:
  • “That beast was like something out of a disgusting nightmare!”
  • “It appears that the captain's signal is coming from...inside that thing!”
  • “You think that the captain was transformed into a giant moth?!”
  • “It's more likely that the captain was swallowed by that thing.”
  • “Oh, that would make more sense.”
• Europe text:
  • “Can you believe that thing? It was the stuff of nightmares!”
  • “What's even stranger is that it was giving off the Captain's signal!”
  • “Typical! We leave the Captain unattended for five minutes, and he goes and turns into a giant ghost moth!”
  • “Or...the Captain was swallowed by the giant ghost moth, perhaps?”
  • “(I have to admit that Alph's theory makes more sense...)”

Reunited with Charlie

• US text:
  • “Captain! We're so relieved to see that you're OK!”
  • “Well, I have my faithful crew to thank for that! So...thank you.”
  • “I actually mistook that strange creature for you. You two have very similar features, did you know that?”
  • “To be honest, while trapped in the belly of that vile beast, I thought of only one face, Brittany... My own.”
  • “Well, we’ll never escape PNF-404 until we locate this treasure-obsessed Olimar fellow. He’s got our cosmic-drive key!”
  • “But don’t forget why we’re here: to search for fruit for our planet. For us too—or else we’ll starve!”
• Europe text:
  • “Captain! We're so relieved that you're all right!”
  • “I have you two, my faithful crew, to thank for that.”
  • “I really thought that ghost moth was you. You have very similar faces, did you know that?”
  • “Brittany, when I was trapped in the belly of that beast, the only face I thought of was yo—”
  • “Right! Now that we've got the Captain back, our next priority should be finding the cosmic drive key.”
  • “And food! Don't forget food!”

Talking with Charlie about reuniting

• US text:
  • “Alph would never tell you this, Captain, but he was quite upset without you around.”
  • “You don't know what it means to be upset until you've been trapped in the belly of a giant beast, Alph.”
  • “Oh, I didn't mean to suggest that I knew what it was like, Captain!”
  • “No matter. Now that we're back together, we need to work together as a team again.”
  • “Hopefully that'll put an end to your moping, Alph.”
  • “Thanks, Brittany.”
• Europe text:
  • “Alph would never tell you this, Captain, but he was pretty lonely without you around.”
  • “You haven't experienced loneliness until you've done time in the belly of a giant moth, Alph.”
  • “Oh, of course not! It wasn't my intention to suggest otherwise!”
  • “No matter. Now that we're reunited, we'll be working as a team again.”
  • “Hopefully that'll put an end to your moping, Alph. No time for that nonsense when there's a mission to accomplish!”
  • “Yes, sir!”

Saw the Sandbelching Meerslug's signal 1

• US text:
  • “That signal... What on PNF-404 could it be?”
  • “Do you think it could really be that person from Hocotate?”
  • “Well, if it is, they would have a strong transmitter.”
  • “Captain Olimar, eh...? I wonder... Let's track that signal ASAP!”
• Europe text:
  • “I'm picking up a signal... What on PNF-404 could it be?”
  • “I don't suppose... Could this be that person from Hocotate?”
  • “Well, a Hocotatian would probably have access to a transmitter of some sort...”
  • “Captain Olimar, eh...? I wonder... Let's track that signal ASAP!”

Heading for the Tropical Wilds

• US text:
  • “This area is quite warm compared to other regions on the planet.”
  • “Quite warm?! This is a tropical paradise compared to the arctic wasteland where I crash-landed!”
  • “I would love an arctic-cold fruit juice right about now!”
  • “Well, Brittany, I think we've earned a little reward. Perhaps we could go for a nice, refreshing swim!”
  • “NO! I mean, with all due respect, sir, the oxygen concentration here is much higher than that of Koppai!”
  • “Removing your space suit would wreak havoc on your system.”
  • “All right, calm down, Alph. Don't get your swim trunks in a bunch.”
• Europe text:
  • “That area is quite warm compared to other regions on this planet.”
  • “Quite warm?! It's a tropical paradise compared to the arctic wasteland where I crash landed!”
  • “Mmm... A cool fruity beverage and a nice refreshing swim would be perfect right about now.”
  • “Well, Brittany, we've more than earned a break from our mission. Why don't you and I—”
  • “Absolutely not! The oxygen concentration on this planet is far higher than that of Koppai!”
  • “Removing your spacesuit would be dangerous in the extreme. There's no telling what the effect might be.”
  • “Hehe! Calm down, Alph. I'm just saying that a swim would be nice, that's all.”

Saw the Sandbelching Meerslug's signal 2

• US text:
  • “That signal... What on PNF-404 could it be?”
  • “Do you think it could really be that person from Hocotate?”
  • “Well, if it is, they would have a strong transmitter.”

  • “Captain Olimar...? I wonder... Let's track that signal ASAP!”

Saw the Folded Data Glutton

• US text:
  • “Alph, about that device we found in the desert...Do you think any of its parts could be used to upgrade the S.S. Drake?”
  • “Yes! We could really use a microwave on board! Or maybe even a hot tub!”
  • “Maybe... Or we could upgrade our signal-detection system.”
  • “Of course...I was just about to suggest that.”
• Europe text:
  • “Alph, about that gadget we found in the desert...”
  • “Do you think any of its parts could be used to upgrade the SS Drake?”
  • “That's a great idea! We could really use a microwave on board! Or a hot tub!”
  • “Hmm...yeah, maybe. Or we could perhaps upgrade our signal-detection system?”
  • “Tremendous idea! Let's make it a priority to retrieve the device.”

Saw the Sandbelching Meerslug

• US text:
  • “Thanks to that colossal slug, our attempt to recover the communication device failed.”
  • “If we can recover it and use it to upgrade the S.S. Drake's communication range...”
  • “I have a feeling it will bring us another step closer to finding the cosmic-drive key!”
  • “This will also lead us to more food.”
  • “Then we have no choice. Prepare yourselves. We must defeat that squishy monstrosity!”
• Europe text:
  • “Thanks to that enormous slug, our attempt to retrieve the communications device...failed.”
  • “If only we could recover it and use it to upgrade the SS Drake's communication range...”
  • “I have a feeling it would bring us one step closer to finding the cosmic drive key!”
  • “And I have a feeling it could lead us to more food!”
  • “Then our course is clear. We must defeat that legless monstrosity!”

Defeated the Sandbelching Meerslug

• US text:
  • “We toppled that colossal slug! And it's all thanks to you, my faithful crew! So...thank you.”
  • “Brittany, you surprise me. I thought you were just interested in studying plants, but you're quite the fighter.”
  • “Captain? We still need to recover the communication device that thing coughed up.”
  • “I bet it's covered in slime. Sweet.”
  • “I hate slime. But we can use it to increase the S.S. Drake's signal-detection range, as we did before!”
  • “Then why are we standing around here wasting our time talking about slime? Let's move!”
  • “Once we secure the device, you'll need to work your magic, Alph. Looks like another all-nighter!”
  • “Right...”
• Europe text:
  • “Haha! Another famous victory! That beastly slug was no match for us! Of course, I'm lucky to have such excellent crewmates.”
  • “Especially you, Brittany. You were amaz—”
  • “Oh, that reminds me! We still need to recover the communications device that thing coughed up.”
  • “Ugh... I bet it's covered in slime.”
  • “Most likely, yes. But we can use it to increase the SS Drake's signal-detection range, as we did before!”
  • “I see...Then let's make Operation: Retrieve the Device our top priority!”

Recovered the Folded Data Glutton

• US text:
  • “Thanks to that technology we found, we’ve been able to expand the Drake’s scanning range even more.”
  • “So, another signal? Hmm, we thought the last signal was coming from Olimar...”
  • “We have to follow it. It’s our only clue to his location—and that of our cosmic-drive key!”
  • “I feel like we’re on a wild-goose chase. Or worse—what if this Olimar isn’t what he seems?”
  • “Don’t worry, Brittany! If anything happens, you have both Alph and me here to protect you!”
  • “Why doesn't that comfort me?”
  • “All right then! Let's get going! The hunt for Olimar continues!”
• Europe text:
  • “Look! Someone is sending out a signal from that area over there!”
  • “Maybe it's that Captain Olimar fellow, the one from Hocotate...”
  • “It could well be... And I'm pretty sure he has our cosmic drive key!”
  • “There's something suspicious about all of this. What if he's luring us into some sort of trap?”
  • “Never fear Brittany! I shall protec—”
  • “Right then everybody, let's get going!”

Heading for the Twilight River

• US text:
  • “Doesn't this area remind you of a Koppai hot spring?”
  • “Yes...except for the "hot" part... It's a bit cold for my taste.”
  • “I was never as cold as I was when I was trapped in that arctic tundra!”
  • “It's not that I wouldn't love to hear your story now, Captain...”
  • “But we really need to think about getting home. Right...sir?”
  • “Well, I suppose we do. Just never mind me and carry on, Alph.”
• Europe text:
  • “This area resembles a Koppai hot spring, doesn't it?”
  • “Hmm, you're right! Except for the hot part... It looks a bit cold for my tastes.”
  • “Well, Brittany, the two of us will just have to take a trip to a proper hot spring when we return to Kop—”
  • “That reminds me! We need to think about getting back home.”
  • “But yes, once we return home, the three of us can all go to the hot spring together, Captain.”
  • “Uh, never mind...”

Saw the Winged Onion 1

• US text:
  • “That Onion looks so sad trapped there. The only decent thing to do is to free it.”
  • “I couldn't agree more, Brittany! Get moving on that, Alph!”
  • “Uh, sure thing...”
  • “Let's see. I did find a place where it looked like we might be able to cross to the other shore.”
  • “All right! Let's get over to the other shore and go help the Onion then! Good eye, Alph! I'm glad someone around here is taking initiative!”
  • “{0E0015000000020200}{0E001700040004000000cd}Well, I'm the one who said he should get moving on it...”
• Europe text:
  • “That poor Onion... Do you think we ought to help it?”
  • “Well Brittany, if you think we should, then of course we will! Isn't that right, Alph?!”
  • “Oh...err...yes...whatever you say, Captain!”
  • “Let me see... I did find a place where it looked like we might be able to cross to the other shore...”
  • “All right, let's get over to the other shore and go help the Onion then! Great idea, Alph!”
  • “{0E0015000000020200}{0E001700040004000000cd}.........”

Saw the Winged Onion 2

• US text:
  • “When the Onion was trapped, I noticed that there wasn't a single Pikmin in sight.”
  • “It sounds like this type of Pikmin was on the brink of extinction. Popping out that one Pikmin seed must have taken all of the Onion's strength.”
  • “So that Pikmin sprout was the last of its kind? Wow, can you imagine what that must be like?”
  • “Of course I can imagine it!”
  • “It would be so, so lonely...”
  • “It's up to us to save that type of Pikmin from extinction!”
  • “Yes. Yes... Lonely.”
• Europe text:
  • “When the Onion was trapped, I noticed that there wasn't a single Pikmin in sight.”
  • “It appears that this type of Pikmin was on the brink of extinction.”
  • “Popping out that one Pikmin seed must have taken all of the Onion's remaining strength.”
  • “So that Pikmin sprout was the last of its kind? Wow, that's so sad. Imagine how lonely that would be...”
  • “Worry not, Brittany my dear! Even if I were at death's door, I would never leave y—”
  • “Yes Captain, you're right! It's up to us to save the Pikmin from extinction, isn't it?”
  • “Ah...um... Yes, of course it is! Let's get over to that Onion!”

Discovered Winged Pikmin

• US text:
  • “Those Winged Pikmin are so cute!”
  • “They're pink, that's for sure.”
  • “Ha! You bear a striking resemblance to them, Brittany!”
  • “Eh? What exactly is that supposed to mean?”
  • “If you were going for a compliment, you didn't exactly make it there.”
  • “He just means that Winged Pikmin are beautiful and resilient, like parched flowers in the desert.”
  • “Wow, Alph! You really know how to flatter a girl!”
  • “{0E0015000000020200}...Yeah, that's what I meant to say.”
• Europe text:
  • “Those Winged Pikmin are so cute!”
  • “Do you think the fact that they're pink means that they're female?”
  • “Hmm... No, on second thoughts, that wouldn't necessarily be tr—”
  • “Haha! I'll tell you what I think... They remind me of you, Brittany!”
  • “Eh? What exactly is that supposed to mean?”
  • “If you were trying to pay me a compliment, you'd better try again.”
  • “I think he means that the Winged Pikmin are both rare and beautiful, like a solitary flower in the wilderness...”
  • “Wow, Alph! That's beautiful! I didn't know you had such a way with words.”
  • “{0E0015000000020200}{0E001700040004000000cd}.........”

Contacted Louie

• US text:
  • “That mysterious Hocotatian finally contacted us directly, eh...?”
  • “He somehow got through the emergency channel on the KopPad!”
  • “I'm not comfortable with this... Something here seems odd.”
  • “We're stranded on an alien planet, Brittany! It's natural for things to be odd. Why, I remember once—”

  • “Well, despite spending an entire night outside, I'm still detecting signs of life, which is good news!”
  • “Now that's what I call resilience!”

Got Louie, but no food

• US text:
  • “Olimar's suit appears to have put him in a forced-sleep mode.”
  • “Oh yeah... I used to have a suit like that. They put you into a deep sleep if you have any major shocks.”
  • “I slept through my surprise birthday party because of those suits.”
  • “So, how do we wake him up?”
  • “Can't. It's part of the suit's design. Just have to wait for him to wake up on his own.”
  • “We have a larger concern at the moment. Our juice resources have dried up. That is our top concern!”
  • “Right you are! And you're really starting to learn how to bark orders very well, I must say!”
  • “Olimar won't wake up any faster if we stand here and stare at him. We need to get some fruit!”
• Europe text:
  • “I've disabled the cryogenic sleep system in Mr Olimar's spacesuit, so he's no longer in stasis. He's just asleep.”
  • “Interesting... I've always thought it's hard to tell the difference, really. Stasis, sleep, sleep, stasis...”
  • “Never mind that! We're pretty much out of supplies, you know! That's a far more pressing concern!”
  • “Right! Of course! For the time being at least, we need to attack this food problem head on!”
  • “Yes we do!”
  • “Maybe Olimar will wake up in the meantime.”

Louie escaped

• US text:
  • “I'm exhausted, but I just can't relax.”
  • “Captain?! What's wrong?”
  • “I can't sleep without my rubber ducky! Curse that Olimar!”
  • “Your rubber ducky is the least of our concerns!”
  • “My rubber ducky is NEVER the least of my concerns!”
  • “Look, if we don't find Olimar soon, we're going to run out of food!”
  • “And how would we explain that to everyone back on Koppai? "Sorry, we had a rubber-ducky crisis"?!”
  • “Now let's go get Olimar!”
• Europe text:

  • “If we don't find Olimar soon, he's going to wolf down all our food!”
  • “That would be quite a setback. We'd better track him down!”

Saw the Blue Onion

• US text:
  • “When we found that Onion, I noticed that there wasn't a single Pikmin in sight.”
  • “This type of Pikmin was likely on the brink of extinction. Popping out that one Pikmin seed must have taken the rest of the Onion's strength.”
  • “You know, if we fail in our mission, Koppaites could easily face extinction too!”
  • “Now, Brittany, there is no need for such thoughts! Koppaites would never let that happen...right?”
  • “I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe we're helping the Pikmin as much as they're helping us!”
  • “Hm. Perhaps you're right, Alph. Let's head back to the Onion. I need to issue some orders soon.”

  • “Our real struggle has only just begun... Under our command, just how far can this army of Pik—”
  • “You two talk too much! Let's go!”

  • “That walking swamp ate Olimar?! So what's the good news?”
  • “That was the good news. You want the bad news?”
  • “No more news! It looks like we're going to have to go through that beast to get my rubber ducky back!”
  • “And, uh, our juice, too. We'll get that as well.”
• Europe text:
  • “What was that gigantic beast we saw yesterday anyway?”

  • “And what happened to our food?!”
  • “It looks like the only way we'll find answers to those two questions is by defeating the swamp.”

Defeated the Quaggled Mireclops

• US text:
  • “We just abandoned Olimar out there... Am I the only one bothered by this?”
  • “He's seen worse. It'll be good for him. Let him sweat it out a bit.”
  • “His vitals are still showing up strong. I'll keep monitoring them.”
  • “I almost like this guy! He's tough like fruit left out in the sun that got rained on and then frozen.”
  • “It boggles my mind that we've made it this far...”
  • “Well, regardless of how resilient he is, I suggest we get him back to the Drake as soon as possible.”
• Europe text:
  • “We just abandoned Mr Olimar and came back here...”
  • “You're not feeling guilty about that, are you?”
  • “He was out there all night. But I'm still picking up a life sign, so I guess everything's all right!”
  • “What a tough nut!”
  • “I'm surprised he hasn't been eaten by other creatures...”
  • “Um... We should probably go and rescue him as soon as possible.”

Talked to Louie about Olimar

Heading for the Formidable Oak

• US text:
  • “Now, if I were Olimar, where would I be hiding...?”
  • “It doesn't look like there is much food in this area, unfortunately.”
  • “Perfect! We'll be able to focus on getting Olimar!”
  • “All right... But we can only divert our energy to searching for Olimar for so long...”
  • “Agreed! Let's get going!”
• Europe text:
  • “The real Mr Olimar has to be in this area! I just know it!”
  • “That might be true, but it doesn't look like there's any food here.”

  • “Ugh, FINE! Let's just get this over with so we can get back to looking for more food.”
  • “Don't be a grump! Let's get going!”

Saw Olimar

• US text:
  • “I can't believe we found Olimar!”
  • “Yes, however, I'm concerned about his lack of...movement.”
  • “It appears that his forced-sleep system has been activated. That boy is in some temporary stasis right there!”
  • “His vital signs are consistent with a state of stasis.”
  • “I just said that!”
  • “...Didn't I?”
  • “OK then, rescuing Olimar is now our top priority!”
• Europe text:
  • “At last, we've found Mr Olimar!”
  • “But he wasn't moving at all. Was he sleeping?”
  • “He could have activated his suit's cryogenic sleep system. Maybe he's in temporary stasis...”
  • “It looks like he's still showing signs of life!”
  • “Good! If Captain Olimar's still alive, then so is...Operation: Rescue Captain Olimar!”

Saw the Mysterious Life Form 1

• US text:
  • “What do you suppose that strange life-form even wants?”
  • “That is unclear. It doesn't seem interested in our juice supply.”
  • “It's peculiar how it's so focused on chasing Olimar.”
  • “Here's what we're going to do: Alph and I will distract the beast.”
  • “Brittany, you grab Olimar and get him back to the S.S. Drake!”
  • “Yes, sir! You guys be careful!”
• Europe text:
  • “What do you suppose that strange life form even wants?”

Saw the Mysterious Life Form 2

• US text:
  • “The weird thing absorbed Olimar!”
  • “Why isn't it targeting anyone else?”

  • “Agreed.”
  • “Let's go kick some blob!”
• Europe text:
  • “The weird blob absorbed Olimar!”
  • “Why is it only targeting him?”
  • “I'm not sure. But if we want to save him, we'll have to get rid of that thing!”

Ready to rescue Olimar 1

• US text:
  • “I'm still picking up some vital signs from Olimar!”
  • “Let's move! That organism was trying to capture Olimar!”
  • “Are you certain that wasn't just a friendly embrace?”
  • “I certainly hope not!”
  • “If that's the case, it makes the creature seem kind of sad.”
  • “...I was joking. Apparently, not very well.”
  • “Forget the jokes! Forget the embraces! Let's go!”
• Europe text:
  • “I'm still picking up signs of life from Mr Olimar!”
  • “We'd better hurry though! That organism seemed intent on swallowing him up!”
  • “It looked more like it was trying to give him a friendly embrace, to me.”
  • “Brittany, a friendly embrace with y–”
  • “If that really was what it was trying to do, then perhaps the creature's unhappy in some way? Or lonely?”
  • “Nevertheless, we have to fight it! Otherwise we'll never get back to Koppai...”
  • “So come on! Let's get going!”

Ready to rescue Olimar 2

• US text:
  • “Curses! Captain Olimar has been captured...”
  • “Thankfully, the KopPad is picking up a life signal, which means that Olimar is still alive!”
