The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays New Play Control! Pikmin 2.
Particularly: In New Play Control! Pikmin 2, some controls are explained differently, and have different button icons.

The leaf texture used in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode menu. (Used on Pikipedia in the {{stub}} template.)

This article is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it.
Suggestions: Quite a few are still missing. Also, using {{notes}} might be a better option, and differences between regions need to be documented.

In Pikmin 2, the Hocotate ship serves as a guide to the player, and gives advice when certain events are triggered. This page is a list of dialog from the ship.

Day 1

The following pieces of dialog are all present on day 1.

Crash landing

GameCube / Wii

Brrrzzzzzt! That was close. I have averted a crash landing. Running diagnostics...

Alert! Danger! Louie is missing. He must have somehow fallen out of his cockpit.

...He is not responding via his communicator. He is either flouting protocol...or in danger!

Olimar! You must find Louie before he freezes to death in the cold of this planet!

Wait a moment! Look!

Onion produces seeds

GameCube

The Onion ejected more seeds! The pellet from that flower must hold nutrients that breed Pikmin.

Yes! The Pikmin gather nutrients, haul them to the Onion, and further propagate the species!

The Onion is a Pikmin mother ship!

GameCube / Wii - US English

Our first day of exploration has yielded our first treasure! We will be done in record time!

I took the liberty of naming it when I appraised it. The name reflects my current "thinking."

Leave it to me to think up catchy names for hit products! It is but one of my many talents!

We shall end our first day here and report back to our president! His face will surely be joyous!

However, to communicate with Hocotate, we must fly into low orbit above the planet.

We will not return to the surface until morning, so as to avoid the indigenous nocturnal creatures.

Beasts are incompatible with my circuitry! ...I suppose I will store your finds in my hold...

But I do not think beasts will be worth much...

Discover Spherical Atlas

It's inconceivable that such an immense object has been buried here for so long.

The design on the outer shell resembles the surface of the planet as seen from space!

Perhaps this can be used for something other than salvage.

But how will we ever lift it? I fear that even 100 red Pikmin will be unable to lift it!

Discover Violet Candypop Bud

GameCube / Wii - US English

Astounding! A flower blooms in a cave deep beneath the snowy landscape!

Clearly it is warmer down here than above. Look. The Pikmin are restless...

Amazing! A purple Pikmin! It has hair...and is quite stocky. It seems very heavy and strong.

This kind of Pikmin was not mentioned in your report, Olimar. It must be an entirely new type!

Olimar and Louie, since you will explore a new area tomorrow, today's work is done!

...What? You still want to work?! Unacceptable! You may not realize it, but you are exhausted!

You should take a much-needed rest, as you have all the time you need to collect treasure!

Haste makes waste, so take it slow and steady.

Day 3

Purple Pikmin in the hull

Subterranean Complex

Interesting... My metal detectors are reacting violently! I can only conclude that there may be some sort of machine below, but that seems illogical...

Frontier Cavern

Yet another cave discovered! Venturing to the farthest reaches has proven rewarding! You may be tired of walking, but now just one last leap remains! Now, go get that treasure!

Hole of Beasts

Krrzt! Bzzrrt! Biological sensors are reacting violently. The readings are ominous. A beast of unknown power lurks in these depths. A large Pikmin group would be reassuring. My sound sensors are picking up hostile roars of many beasts. Expect dangerous encounters. Sensors are also showing extreme heat pockets. You may need flame-resistant Pikmin... But my sensors indicate no such data! Are my records incomplete?

White Flower Garden

Astounding! My metal detectors are reacting violently. What could be down below? If you find trouble below, press START/PAUSE to contact me and press R on the radar screen. The exploration pod will drop its loot to make room to carry you, Louie, and the Pikmin to safety.

Bulblax Kingdom

So, you have at last reached the higher ground. Congratulations are in order. ...Wait. What is this? My seismic sensors are picking up tremors deep below. What force is at work in the depths of the planet?

Snagret Hole

Intriguing! My acoustic sensors are picking up a high-pitched wail. It seems to emanate from the area near this gigantic stump. This large root must penetrate deep beneath the planet's surface. Fascinating...

Citadel of Spiders

Krzzt! My sensors are giving out foreboding signals. These signals could very well mean... ...that this hole is filled with wretched, nasty bugs! Vicious, program-terminating bugs!

Glutton's Kitchen

Interesting! My odor detectors are reacting... A strong scent wafts from that hole! I am a machine, so rating scents is beyond me, but your faces tell me all I need to know. You are both drooling... I wish, just once, I could feel what it is like to drool.

Shower Room

A large rock sits in a reservoir of water. May I interject here? I have been observing the two of you working together. You have been cooperating well. Yet, to face the dangers ahead, you must be free of the shackles of a boss-worker relationship! Learn to use X to separate and Y to change leaders. If you can master teamwork, you can overcome any impediment!

Submerged Castle

Interesting! Deeper sections of this hole seem to be submerged in liquid... Sadly, I am a delicate piece of machinery that is sensitive to water. You two must go alone. ...Why do you look at me with such scornful expressions? ...I am an expensive machine! ...Fine. I'll go. But this wantonly reckless treatment of company property will be reported!

Cavern of Chaos

Wait... From all appearances, this is a particulary frightening crevasse. The data is horrifying! Courage is one thing, but recklessness is something else. Perhaps we should turn back? Well, if you still wish to enter, keep your daring in check and just focus on surviving.

Hole of Heroes

I am detecting the howls of countless creatures in the hole ahead. It is nearly deafening! Sound analysis indicate a wide variety of creatures nesting here. It is a melting pot of life! Mr. President, be extremely careful! Olimar, your job is to protect his life at all costs!

Dream Den

Perhaps you will find Louie in here! ...And yet, my CPU is on edge. Ludicrous dangers await! Beasts lurk at the bottom of the deepest, darkest, most foul, sinister, horribly vile pit. Do you still wish to enter? Of course you do. Courage is our true treasure!

Pikmin types

Discover wild Yellow Pikmin

Look! Off in the distance! Wild Pikmin! Can you see them, Captain Olimar?

They are yellow Pikmin. You encountered them when you crashed on this planet, correct?

It would be most helpful if they remember you, like the red ones did. Yes, most helpful.

Discover yellow Pikmin

GameCube / Wii - US English / Switch

The yellow Pikmin have climbed down the tree and are staring in this direction!

They appear to like high places and seem to be quite light. They also have very large ears.

If I had named them, they would be called ear Pikmin, but I will use the name Olimar gave them.

Curious... My static electricity sensors are reacting violently. What could this mean?

Perhaps by observing these wild specimens, we can understand more about their true nature...

Krzzt! Ding! I apologize. I was momentarily entranced by them. Now, back to work!

Discover Blue Pikmin

At last, you have encountered them! They seem to have gill-like ducts on their cheeks.

This type of Pikmin was not mentioned in your notes, Olimar. It must be an entirely new type!

Our data record on this type is a blank page, since a certain captain never documented them.

You must experiment and make detailed observations for the benefit of future generations.

First White Pikmin eaten

Intriguing! The creature showed symptoms of poisoning after consuming the white Pikmin.

Perhaps white Pikmin excrete a poisonous substance when chewed. How fascinating.

Bulbmin

The confused bulborb has fallen in with the Pikmin. They appear to coexist peacefully.

Strange...this bulborb has a leaf sprouting from its spine, much like the leaf on a Pikmin's head.

An insect and a machine forming a symbiotic relationship? Life-forms here are beyond odd!

Initiating area scan... Glass sphere detected!

Collect Stellar Orb

If I combine this glass sphere with the synthetic sun I have been secretly developing...

Processing...complete.
I have manufactured a Solar System.

The artificial sunlight it emanates will brighten underground areas.

Discover Brute Knuckles

Processing... How strange. This atypical metal object came from inside that bizarre being.

...It appears to be a giant metal hand. Perhaps it is an ancient work of art?

Collect Brute Knuckles

GameCube - US English

This object seems to replicate a humanoid fist. A glove much like it once lay in my junk hold...

...And here is that very glove! I have just found the missing Rocket Punch[sic] in my junk hold!

Tap   three times to launch it!
One, two, PUNCH!!!

Discover Geographic Projection

Fascinating! This object is highly similar to the one you found in the Valley of Repose.

By examining this further, I may be able to extrapolate new planetary data!

Collect Geographic Projection

This hemisphere also contains a hidden microchip! I will attempt to decrypt the stored data...

Decoding complete! As I surmised, this chip contains additional topographic data.

The data has been inputted into my database. I shall name it the Survey Chart!

Discover Prototype Detector

How bizarre. This device is emitting black light. It must have been ingested by that creature.

What an absolutely repulsive life-form. Our return to Hocotate cannot come soon enough.

Collect Prototype Detector

This contraption seems to react when it approaches treasure. I will connect it to my radar.

Processing...complete. The Treasure Gauge is now fully operational!

It will now appear on your monitor. The needle will move right as you approach treasure.

Discover Five-man Napsack

Well done, Captain Olimar! You've defeated that freakish half-bird, half-serpent hybrid!

Oh, no. Don't tell me...
That treasure was ingested by that beast, wasn't it?

Collect Five-man Napsack

Discover Forged Courage

GameCube / Wii

My initial report indicates that the giant bulblax spat out some sort of object.

It looks fascinating, but it's drenched in that creature's internal juices. Disgusting!

... ... ... ... Oh, don't roll your eyes at me. I'll store it for you...

You've done it! That bird-beast will trouble you no more!

Processing... How curious. What's that impressive, mechanized masterpiece?

Collect Justice Alloy

Brrrzzt! Does not compute! A metal this dense defies the fundamental laws of physics!

And yet...if I use this to rework our president's treasured space suit...

Processing...complete.
Fabrication of the Metal Suit Z is now concluded.

This suit is extremely durable. Getting gnawed or stepped on will now produce minimal pain.

Discovered Amplified Amplifier

GameCube / Wii - US English

Processing... How odd. The gooey creature dissolved, leaving this curious item behind.

It appears to be coated in slime. Are you sure you want to collect this? ...Absolutely sure?

You'll toss just about anything in my hold! It would be nice if you cleaned occasionally!

Collect Amplified Amplifier

This shape is well suited for the emission and amplification of sound waves. A moment, please.

I shall use this as the final part in my new sound equipment. The Mega Tweeter is done!

Captain Olimar, this device has increased the acoustic range of your whistle!

Discover Dream Material

Processing... How bizarre. An item appears to have fallen out of that freakish creature.

It must have been a greedy beast to swallow something like this.

Collect Dream Material

GameCube / Wii

This intriguing material does not conduct electricity.

It is far more advanced than the material I was researching.
...How frustrating.

A space suit made from this wonder alloy would insulate the wearer from electric shocks.

Excellent! This new material has allowed me to complete my Anti-electrifier!

It is my own invention, with only the smallest iota of outside inspiration.

I have reconfigured your suits with this new material. They will now protect you from electricity!

Discover Professional Noisemaker

Processing... How curious. The wraith completely vanished! But what was it?

Surface-object scans indicate the presence of a bright red component!

Collect Professional Noisemaker

How insulting... This object's coloring is more eye-catching than my own hull!

I shall connect it to the alarm clock our esteemed president was so fond of.

Processing...complete. I have refitted both objects into a Pluckaphone.

Now, simply blowing your whistle will inspire Pikmin sprouts to pop up out of the ground.

Sprays

Ultra-bitter spray

"Astonishing! This purple berry contains an ultra-bitter essence.

It does not appear to have any monetary value, but I shall research potential uses for it.

Bring me another specimen."


"Captain Olimar, I have completed my research on the purple berries you discovered.

Behold the ultra-bitter spray! It's untested, but I believe it will have spectacular results.

Approach enemies and press Up on D-Pad to spray them."


"Most impressive! This fierce beast became as hard as stone in a mere instant!

The ultra-bitter extract seems to have a side effect that stops beasts in their tracks!!"

Ultra-spicy spray

"Astonishing! This red berry contains an ultra-spicy essence.

It does not appear to have any monetary value, but I shall research potential uses for it.

Bring me another specimen."


"Captain Olimar, my research on the red berries you discovered has yielded a powerful potion!

Behold the ultra-spicy spray! It's untested, but I believe it will have spectacular results.

"Spray it at all your Pikmin by pressing Down on D-Pad"

"When necessary it can produce 1 bottle of spray from 10 berries."

"Press START/PAUSE to contact me and confirm your berry count. Look at L on the radar screen."


"Astounding! The heads of the Pikmin are glowing, and they seem extremely agitated."

"The ultra-spicy spray appears to increase Pikmin speed and attack power! What a discovery!"

Burgeoning Spiderwort mold

"What is this? A strange, moldlike botanical entity has spread across the ground here.

Interesting. I am detecting other plant life suffocating beneath it."

Challenge Mode unlocked

"This object seems familiar. I will combine it with the president's parallel-dimension controller.

ALERT!!! Sensors indicate a massive dimensional shift at a distant location.

I'm receiving a message from a far-flung dimension. Displaying the message now...

"Challenge Mode can now be accessed from the title screen."

It appears to be total gibberish. Hopefully the message has reached its intended recipient.

I will name this apparently worthless device the Key."

Debt Repayment

"Mission complete! You've earned 10,000 Pokos!

Now Hocotate Freight will be prosperous and debt free until the end of time! ...Probably.

Prepare to blast off! We return to Hocotate triumphantly!"

After Debt Repayment

"Mr. President! You've arrived! My scans indicate this planet is still heavily laden with treasure.

We shall make Hocotate Freight the golden, indisputable king of deep-space, long-haul freight!

Then everyone will gaudily clad in gold, like me! ...No. I am unique. And beautiful. Yes.

Olimar, I must ask that you take extreme care so as not to insult or endanger our president.

For now, where could Louie be? To be stuck on an uncivilized planet with no food at all...

I am concerned. Olimar! You must waste no time in finding him!"

Waterwraith

"What is this?!? I can see it with my optical receptors, but my sensors cannot detect it!

Could its physical form be anchored in another dimension? ...Attacking it is futile!

If only we could force it to take on physical form... But in its current state... Krzzzt-zrrrk!

Danger! Danger! Danger!"

Titan Dweevil

"Is that Louie?!? Mr. President! I have located Louie resting on a vast mound of treasure!

For him to venture to those depths alone... The desire of a man is a thing to be feared!

...But Louie is not moving. Could he have exhausted his strength in reaching these depths?

There may yet be time. Quickly! To Louie's aid!"


"Louie? ... ...

... Are your life functions fading? ...

No! He appears only to have fainted! He is always running into trouble...

Instruct the Pikmin to carry him. There is not enough room for him in the cockpit anymore.

We will have to keep him in the cargo hold with the treasure hoard."

Post Pikmin extinction

"Disaster averted! All your Pikmin were wiped out yesterday, but their Onion just released a seed!

If Pikmin were machines, they could simply be repaired, but... This single Pikmin is a precious rarity. I advise you to take better care of it."
