#1 Onions
“I had barely begun my search when a strange thing reared up as if it were waiting for me. It then dropped a single seed. It resembles a vegetable on my home planet called an onion. I shall call it an Onion too. Its sprout glows and sways as if inviting me to come closer.”
How to unlock: After discovering the Onion on the first day.
#2 Pikmin
“A fascinating creature emerged when I plucked the sprout! I tried to put some distance between us, but it followed me close behind. It seems quite friendly and looks similar to a Pikpik Carrot, my favorite vegetable. I'll call it a "Pikmin."”
How to unlock: After plucking a Pikmin on the first day.
#3 Pellet Posies
“The seedlike thing I harvested from that flower must be some kind of food that propagates Pikmin. I will call these condensed nutrients "pellets" and the plant a "Pellet Posy."”
How to unlock: Destroy a Pellet Posy.
#4 The Pikmin Nest
“As evening fell, the Pikmin climbed back up into the Onion and took to the skies alongside the S.S. Dolphin. Astonishing! The Onion must be both a nest and a form of transportation!”
How to unlock: End the first day.
#5 Preservation Instincts
“The Onion stopped releasing seeds! I went to check on it and saw that the Pikmin will only propagate inside the Onion once a certain number are out on the surface. Could Limiting the number of active Pikmin be a strategy to avoid extinction?”
How to unlock: Cultivate more Pikmin than can actually be on the surface.
#6 Wild Pikmin
“Wild Pikmin found underground can be brought to the surface and added to an Onion. However, when tasked with transporting a pellet, the resulting seed ends up the same color as the Onion. I must be careful, as these Pikmin cannot be propagated right now.”
How to unlock: Collect Pikmin outside of your squad inside a cave.
#7 Pikmin Cap
“When I brought some wild Pikmin found in a cave up to the surface, not all the Pikmin exited the research pod. There must be a limit on how many Pikmin can be out on the surface at a time, and it seems there can be 3 types at most. The rest I'll return to the Onion.”
How to unlock: Exit a cave with either more than the max Pikmin limit or more than 3 different types.
#8 Pikmin Maturation
“I've noticed that when they consume nectar, a flower immediately blooms on a Pikmin's head. Yet, when they mature in the ground from a sprout, their leaf becomes a bud before a flower. Either way, the more they grow, the faster Pikmin become. That could be useful...”
How to unlock: Have a Pikmin drink nectar.
#9 Lessons in Cooperation
“By working together, Pikmin can carry objects much heavier than themselves. And if you increase the number of Pikmin doing the transporting, they will transport objects even faster! Just think how much our kind could learn from this cooperative species.”
How to unlock:
#10 Majority Rule
“After closely observing the Pikmin carrying their prey to the Onion, I saw that the next seeds the Onion dropped were the same type as the majority of the Pikmin that did the transporting. How fascinating that Pikmin ecology employs a concept like majority rule!”
How to unlock: Have multiple types of Pikmin carry the same treasure or creature.
#11 Leadership Quality
“Whenever their underlings are in a bad spot, it's a leader's duty to remain calm, quickly assess the situation, and form a plan of action. For example, when the Pikmin are in trouble and start to panic, I calm them and reengage their focus using my whistle.”
How to unlock: After a Pikmin is affected by a hazard that can be whistled away.
#12 Caught Cold
“It was eerily quiet earlier, and I turned around to see the Pikmin were all just standing there, trembling! Perhaps the cold temperature put them in that state, because even the sound of my whistle only briefly alleviated the issue. I must get to the root of this...”
How to unlock: After a Pikmin is affected by the ambient cold temperature in a cave.
#13 A Change of Heart
“How alarming! For some undiscernible reason, the Pikmin won't look at me! Even when I call them with my whistle! They always gladly followed me until now... Have they lost their senses? I must do something to get them back on my side.”
How to unlock: After a Pikmin is affected by Groovy Long Legs' Endless Dance gas.
#14 Pikmin... All Lost
“I got careless...and all the Pikmin perished as a result. Horrified, I made my way back to the base, only to find that the Onion had released 1 Pikmin seed! This behavior likely developed to prevent extinction. I've sworn to take better care next time. Cross my heart.”
How to unlock: Experience a Pikmin extinction.
#15 The Red Pikmin
“Fire should be a natural enemy of the Pikmin, but Red Pikmin continue through the flames where other Pikmin would burn... Their attacks are also a little bit stronger than those of the other Pikmin. Could these qualities be somehow related?”
How to unlock: Discover Red Pikmin.
#16 The Yellow Pikmin
“I've decided to call the yellow-colored Pikmin with large earlike appendages "Yellow Pikmin." I liked that name a lot more than Ear Pikmin. They're resistant to electricity, and they fly high when thrown. Plus, they're good at digging!”
How to unlock: Discover Yellow Pikmin.
#17 The Blue Pikmin
“At a glance, the Blue Pikmin appear to have mouthlike gills and are notably able to function even underwater. Thanks to their water resistance and swimming talents, I can now transport things
found in the water.”How to unlock: Discover Blue Pikmin.
#18 The Ice Pikmin
“I always thought of Pikmin as plantlike creatures, so I never dreamed I'd come across an ice variant! Ice Pikmin can use their icy bodies to freeze water and creatures, but they also float like ice in the water. Don't spray them with water though. They really don't like it.”
How to unlock: Discover Ice Pikmin.
#19 The Rock Pikmin
“Ah, the hard, rocky Rock Pikmin. They break crystal walls with their stout bodies and tough headbutts, survive being stepped on, and can't be pierced by needles. Despite their sturdiness, they can still be crushed on hard surfaces of by some creatures' teeth.”
How to unlock: Discover Rock Pikmin.
#20 The Winged Pikmin
“As their name suggests, Winged Pikmin have sprouted wings and can fly. Of course, this means they can transport things by air and can save time that way. Their ground attacks are lackluster, but when it comes to aerial combat, they're unmatched.”
How to unlock: Discover Winged Pikmin.
#21 The Purple Pikmin
“One Purple Pikmin has the strength and weight of 10 regular Pikmin. What they lack in speed, they make up for in force! When thrown, their impact is powerful enough to emit gravitational waves. They're only found underground, so I must handle with care.”
How to unlock: Discover Purple Pikmin.
#22 The White Pikmin
“Rare White Pikmin come from white Candypop Buds that bloom in caves. They're small and notably fast on their feet, but their attacks are lacking. Imbued with enough poison to be lethal to a Bulborb, these wily Pikmin are resistant to poisonous gas themselves.”
How to unlock: Discover White Pikmin.
#23 Pikmin Songs
“Sometimes, when they're in a pleasant mood, the Pikmin will start to sing a little tune. Feeling inspired, I tried to join in...until they went noticeably silent. I suppose my singing doesn't appeal to their musical tastes.”
How to unlock:
#24 Flarlic
“When an Onion absorbs this whitish bulb, it seems to perk up and increase the Pikmin you can lead by 10. The scent reminds me of the garlic on my planet. I'm tempted to have a nibble, but for now I'll just call it "flarlic" and leave the taste test for another day.”
How to unlock: Bring a Flarlic to the S.S. Beagle.
#25 Onion Fusion
“After being transported, the new Onion I found was absorbed by the first Onion! Could this be cannibalism?! I investigated the matter, and it looks like a new type of Pikmin can now be withdrawn from the Onion. This must mean that Onions can fuse together.”
How to unlock: Find and combine two Onions together.
#26 Same-Colored Onions
“I found another Onion the same color as a previously fused Onion but it transported anyway. When fed to the other Onion, 20 Pikmin seeds of its color were propagated! Absorbing one of your own species for nutrients is a horrifying yet impressive power move.”
How to unlock: Find and transport a duplicate Onion.
#27 Candypop Bud
“As we approached the giant flower, the Pikmin looked at me as though begging to be thrown inside. So I tried it, and with a POP the flower released a Pikmin seed the same color as itself. The sound reminded me of my favorite candy, so I'll call it a "Candypop Bud."”
How to unlock: Discover a candypop bud.
#28 Ultra-Spicy Berries
“Upon closer inspection, I was shocked to discover that an Ultra-Spicy Berry contains a large quantity of ultra-spicy essence! I've collected 1 bottle's worth of nectar from 10 berries, but what do I do with it? This stuff is way too hot for us sweet-toothed Hocotations.”
How to unlock: Bring 10 Ultra-Spicy berries to the S.S. Beagle.
#29 Ultra-Spicy Nectar
“On rare occasions, a red nectar will emerge from nectar eggs, and it contains quite a lot of ultra-spicy essence! Considering that it hold 10 Ultra-Spicy Berries' worth of it, I'm not surprised I'm already sweating. I'll have to bottle this up with extreme caution.”
How to unlock: Find ultra-spicy essence.
#30 Ultra-Spicy Spray
“The Pikmin and Moss were sprayed with Ultra-Spicy Spray today. I quickly ran to clear it off, but when I saw that their movement had become animated and that the Pikmin's flowers had bloomed, I realized the spray must be a source of energy for these species!”
How to unlock: Use Ultra-spicy spray.
#31 I Found Treasure!
“After Thorough investigation into the shiny objects found on this planet, I have deduced that they must contain sparklium. I feel giddy to have found real-life treasure, but my focus must remain on my main objective-finding the missing parts of the S.S. Dolphin.”
How to unlock: Pulled up by Collin during the first day.
#32 Raw Materials
“One could mistake this raw material for a simple stone, but it has more in common with amber and other fossilized biological matter. When heated, it melts down intoa brown clay and becomes malleable. I should be able to find many applications for it.”
How to unlock: Find a piece of raw material.
#33 A Freezing Plan
“Battling creatures on this planet is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if they didn't move so much. That's why I plan to freeze them with Ice Pikmin or an Ice Blast! Then I'll charge them all at once. If I can freeze the flying kind in midair, I'll strike once they fall!”
How to unlock: Freeze an enemy with Ice Pikmin or an Ice Blast.
#34 Fire-Starter Basics
“Harnessing fire is the cornerstone of civilisation. With a fire starter, you can burn things or create warmth. I could also use it to build fires in other areas, as long as I light them before the fire starter itself goes out.”
How to unlock:(please add)
#35 Tug-of-War
“I’ve often heard the saying “Don’t push it, pull it!” But I might like “Don’t hit it, tug it!” even better. I have a theory that I could use the suction mechanism used for collecting ship parts to knock out a breadbug’s head into the ship’s hull. That’d do some damage.”
How to unlock:(please add)
#36 Subterranean Time Warp
“Upon returning to the surface after exploring underground, I noticed the hands of my clock had barely moved at all, and I had been down there for hours! I can only assume that on this planet, time flows differently on the surface than it does underground.”
How to unlock: Enter a cave for the first time.
#37 Sunset Approaches
“Many creatures become more active at night, so Pikmin left on the surface are doomed to be eaten. If you're close to the Onion, you can return them safely inside. Stray Pikmin, on the other hand... I must remember to call them back to the squad before sunset.”
How to unlock: Be in an area long enough for the sunset warning to appear.
#38 The Creatures Are Back
“I was sure I had scoured 100% of a cave before returning to the surface, only to casually reenter it and find it teeming with the creatures I thought I had defeated! Or prehaps others of their kind have claimed this territory. The underground bursts with life!”
How to unlock: Re-enter a cave after 100% completing it.
#39 The Nonexistent Entity
“Bomb Rocks show no signs of working against this creature, never mind Pikmin attacks! Does its body not actually exist in this dimension? Maybe if I hit it with a gravitational wave, the dimensions will converge and it will show itself. But is that possible?”
How to unlock: Encounter the Waterwraith.
#40 Last-Frost Cavern
“I entered a cave to look for S.S Dolphin parts and found a creature that defies the logic of space! it further surprised me by expelling frigid-cold air. Imagine if there were Pikmin that had been acclimatized to that cold air... This planet's ecosystem is full of mysteries.”
How to unlock: Discover the Last-Frost Cavern.
#41 Crackling Cauldron
“I was feeling hotter than usual in my space suit, and when I looked down, the ground was on fire! I panicked, but a Red Pikmin just gave me a sidelong glance, totally unfazed even as the fire licked at them. They're clearly capable of more than just skillful attacks.”
How to unlock: Discover the Crackling Cauldron.
#42 Aquiferous Summit
“I found a hole that should lead out to the top of the mountain, but the inside was more convoluted than expected, and only now do I see light at the end of the tunnel. If I ever make it out of this place, I'll deserve a good rest.”
How to unlock: Discover the Aquiferous Summit.
#43 Industrial Maze
“The ground...it started moving! I groped for a way forward, but I couldn't make any progress on my own. I wonder if Moss may be able to help me out of this mess.”
How to unlock: Discover the Industrial Maze.
#44 Hectic Hollows
“Someone or something built a rough wall inside the cave. The Pikmin and I were able to scramble up, but Moss was unable to climb up the wall. I'll have to leave her behind for now and hope we can find a way or a place to meet up.”
How to unlock: Discover the Hectic Hollows.
#45 Drafty Gallery
“Beneath the passage, all I can see is an interminable darkness. I tossed a pebble into the abyss but never heard it hit the ground. I must proceed with caution here. I don't want any Pikmin accidentally thrown to their demise, let alone shaken off by some creature.”
How to unlock: Discover the Drafty Gallery.
#57 Sniffer Extraordinaire
“After training Moss to track a variety of scents, she can now not only sniff out the missing parts of the S.S. Dolphin but also Pikmin of whatever type I specify and even Stray Pikmin. She's already proving to be a trusty partner.”
How to unlock: Rescue Russ.
#62 Poisonous Oxygen
“The atmosphere on this planet contains large amounts of poisonous oxygen. I doubt that my space suit's life-support system can hold out for more than a few days now. Maybe if I had a leaf, like Moss or the Pikmin... What a silly thought.”
How to unlock: Discover a Leafling.
#63 Mistaken Sighting
“I was so hungry earlier that I mistook a Pikmin for a Pikpik Carrot and almost bit right into it! The Pikmin are friendly to me right now, but who knows how long our relationship will last? I quickly apologized to the terrified Pikmin and gave it a hug.”
How to unlock: Buy a Pikpik Carrot from Russ.
#66 Bad Dreams
“Last night, I dreamt that one of my subordinates made a terrible mistake that put the company in a huge amount of debt. Too big for Hocotate Freight to pay back quickly... This is why I never take on debt. Anyway, when I woke up, I burst into a fit of laughter!”
How to unlock: Wait for Shepherd to mention a bad dream at the start of a day.
#76 Strange Pikmin Behavior
“When I arrived at this area, the Pikmin started acting quite strange. They flew out of the Onion and immediately hid! I can't find my spaceship parts without them... I suppose I'll just keep looking for them and can call them back using my whistle.”
How to unlock: Unknown (Shown during the prologue)
#80 SOS!
“This is Captain Olimar! I'm currently stranded on an unknown planet in the far reaches of space. I'm in dire need of assistance! Please send help as fast as you can!”
How to unlock: Complete the prologue with Olimar.
