The planet as seen in Pikmin 1

The planet that Olimar lands on, in both Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, is the habitat of Pikmin (species) and their many enemies. The planet is known as the planet of the Pikmin or the Pikmin planet. The planet is shown to be Earth, whether or not it is our Earth or an alternate version is yet to be revealed in the games. Tin cans can be found lying around in the first game, and all the 'treasures' found in the second game are human made or Earth plants. It is unknown if there is still a human presence on the planet. The Pikmin story could take place after the extinction of humans. However, since Pikmin 2's areas are the same as Pikmin 1's, and there are new human objects, it is likey that they exist.

The planet as seen in the ending movie of Pikmin 2, Australasia, SE Asia and Japan are clearly visible.

Shigeru Miyamoto stated, that the setting is Africa, on a microscopic scale. (I think it was from a old issue of Nintendo Power, or Wikipedia). It was also seen on the second game when Olimar landed or left the planet that the ship was heading to or coming from Africa. Most of the planets geography has been shown and matches Earth's, The Ship even states when they find the Spherical Atlas (the top half of an Earth globe) that it shows the planet's geography as seen from space.
