In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, if the player loses every one of their Pikmin in a single day, that day will end immediately, a sad [[cutscene]] will play, and on the following day, each Onion will produce a single seed, provided that there are no sprouts of the corresponding Pikmin type in the area the player chooses to land in. Other than that, the processes and rules are similar to [[#Partial extinction|partial extinctions]]. A total extinction can still be declared even if there are Pikmin sprouts in other areas.

It is impossible to obtain a total extinction during the day in {{p3}} and {{p4}}, since the Onion instantly shoots a seed whenever a type goes extinct. Even trying to wipe out all Pikmin at once with a [[bomb rock]], for instance, will still make the Onion go through the partial extinction progress for each type, one at a time. Losing all Pikmin during the sunset is possible, and will simply act the same as if several sunset partial extinctions have taken place, with the added detail that Alph will write down on the [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]] that the crew is now without any Pikmin.

Losing all Pikmin in [[Dandori Challenge]]s won't result in a failure, although the [[Leafling]] will notify the player that they are out of Pikmin.

In ''Pikmin 3'', the first time all Pikmin are left behind over sunset, Alph will write the following on the voyage log, in the North American version:
In ''Pikmin 3'', the first time all Pikmin are left behind over sunset, Alph will write the following on the voyage log, in the North American version:
{{transcript|We're in a desperate situation. All of our Pikmin have been lost. Clearly, we lack even the most rudimentary understanding of what leadership is. Without their help, how can we continue gathering fruit? The Onion continues to follow us. Perhaps it can still offer us some help.|block=y|indent=y}}

In ''Pikmin 4'', the cutscene is rather similar to that of ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', however, it will now play for partial extinctions as well as total extinctions, with the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] and [[Oatchi]] if the player is riding him. The on-screen message is also changed to "All <pikmin type> Pikmin lost!" for partial extinctions and "All Pikmin lost!" for total extinctions. If a partial extinction occurs on land or if any type of extinction occurs inside caves, the player will be prompted to either continue or rewind to a past state after a response from [[Collin]]. However, total extinctions will result in the following response from [[Shepherd]]:
{{transcript|Ugh! All those Pikmin...gone. If only we could find a way to turn back time...|block=y|indent=y}}
After this, the player is shown the Onion, spitting out seeds for each type of Pikmin that is connected to the Onion. Collin will then respond as follows:
{{transcript|The Onion spit out a seed! It looks like a sprout from the same type of Pikmin that was wiped out. Try to take better care of them this time.|block=y|indent=y}}
