Tundra is the fourth mission in Olimar's Assignment, representing the fourth day of Olimar and Louie's third trip to PNF-404. It takes place in the Distant Tundra.
Plot
Olimar's Expedition Log: Tundra Survey
“This is Olimar, captain of the S.S. Dolphin. I’ve been to this planet twice before already. I never tire of hunting for treasure here! Unfortunately, even my advanced space suit can’t quite keep out the cold. I’m not surprised Hocotate Freight cut costs when it came to insulation. Brrr! It wouldn’t surprise me if everyone got the same standard-issue suit, no matter what kind of assignment they were on. The company’s new venture went down in flames, and it’s dragged our yearly earnings down with it. We don’t have the money for decent space suits now. This one isn’t even custom fitted. [A zapping sound is heard. Olimar turns to his left to see Louie and some Yellow, Red, and Blue Pikmin running around two Bearded Amprats, both of whom are electrified and aggressive. They both collide into Louie, and he’s sent flying away as they eat eat four of the Pikmin. The scene then returns to Olimar.] Without any insulation, I wouldn’t want to put this suit up against any nasty shocks, either. I really should’ve hung onto that Anti-Electrifier…”
This cutscene is identical to the Secret File Olimar's Expedition Log - In the Tundra -, but with slightly different subtitles.
Olimar's Expedition Log: Oak Survey
After completing the mission, an additional video log is played:
“This is Olimar, captain of the S.S. Dolphin. I’ve been to this planet twice before already. I never tire of hunting for treasure here! Our survey has revealed a massive golden object in this region. [Louie slowly and nervously walks onscreen in the background as Olimar speaks.] It’ll be worth a fortune to the company! My taciturn partner, Louie, didn’t want to come here for reasons he refused to explain. [A roar is heard, but Olimar doesn’t notice. Louie does, and he is startled. He looks around frantically a couple of times before turning around and running offscreen.] Where did he get to, anyway? Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just get this treasure myself and then it’s back to Hocotate. [Footsteps are heard that grow louder with each step along with more roaring, indicating that something is approaching.] [Fade to a black screen. The following is from a third person perspective.] That was the last anyone heard from Captain Olimar Whatever became of Olimar and Louie? Perhaps a crew of intrepid Koppaites will find the answer during their adventure… Olimar’s Assignment The End.”
This cutscene is identical to the Secret File Olimar's Expedition Log - At the Oak -, but with slightly different subtitles. The ending black screen was also added.
Synopsis
In relation to the Story Mode, this day takes place before Brittany and Alph have landed in the Distant Tundra for the first time, as Olimar mentions he no longer has the Anti-Electrifier, which he buried in the snow near Charlie's crash site.
The ending cutscene is within the Formidable Oak, and alludes to Olimar's disappearance. After this, Louie assumedly traveled back to the Twilight River somehow and get captured by the Scornet Maestro. This means all of Olimar's Assignment must have took place, at the very least, before the Koppaites discovered Twilight River.

Quotes
Briefing
“This place is too big to find all the treasure alone, so split up! That’s an order! And watch your step so Pikmin don’t fall into any gaps. Those assets are too valuable to lose!”
Loading screen tip
“Be sure to collect all nuggets and fruit. That includes those that the wild creatures may be hiding.”
During gameplay

| Going down the path from the Onion leading to the Bearded Amprat |  “I really do hate the cold.”
|
 “I-it’s s-so… c-cold.”
|
| Going through the electric gate | “We must be cautious.”
|
“Watch out!”
|
| Entering the Baldy Long Legs arena | “I'm not sure about this...”
|
“...”

|
“Ah!”

Day end report
“We’ve retrieved enough shiny fruits and other treasures that we’re just about ready to head back to Hocotate. There’s one reading of a huge golden object that’s too big to ignore, so we’ll snap that up and then be on our way! Hold on, family—I’ll be back before you know it!”
