Mission (Pikmin 4)

This article or section is about an upcoming or recently released game. The content here is subject to change as more information is discovered. All information added here must be verifiable and not speculative.

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.

Missions are objectives for the player's character to complete throughout Pikmin 4. These are given by either Rescue Corps members or by rescued castaways, typically within the Rescue Command Post hub area once they've been rescued.

There are two types of missions: Main Missions and Side Missions.

Main Missions

Main Missions are the main objectives the player must complete. They are usually story related with simple goals requiring the player to progress through the game normally to complete. These are often given by members of the Rescue Corps.

This section is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it. Suggestions: Document the changing objective descriptions based on the progressing story.

Name	Mission giver	In-game description	Notes
Rescue the Rescue Corps	Collin
Secure Energy Source	Shepherd		This mission comes with a bar tallying all the Sparklium found and the amount needed to expand the search area of the S.S. Shepherd.
Rescue Olimar	Shepherd	“Captain Olimar is shipwrecked on this unknown planet. Discover his whereabouts while you search for missing Rescue Corps Officers.”
Rescue All Castaways	Shepherd		This mission comes with a counter that keeps track of the player's castaway count (not including members of the Rescue Corps).

Side Missions

Side Missions are objectives that aren't necessary to complete, but reward the player with things like raw materials for doing so. These are often given to the player after talking to rescued crewmates and castaways in the Rescue Command Post. Other quests are only unlocked once the player has completed a previous quest first.
