In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], some '''cutscenes''' play at certain times. While these cutscenes are playing, the player usually has no control over the game, other than to advance the text, or to skip the cutscene. There are several different types of cutscenes, and they can be either played out by the entities in the game world in real time, or pre-rendered like a movie. | |||

If the player has 24 or fewer of the required ship parts by the end of the 30th day, Olimar will attempt to leave the planet in a haste, but the engine explodes and the ship crashes back to the ground. After the game's statistics are shown, the Pikmin are seen carrying Olimar's unconscious body to the Red [[Onion]], and Olimar pops out as a Pikmin hybrid, dubbed "[[Olimar as Pikmin|Pikmar]]" by fans. | If the player has 24 or fewer of the required ship parts by the end of the 30th day, Olimar will attempt to leave the planet in a haste, but the engine explodes and the ship crashes back to the ground.

He then remembers about the Pikmin that helped him, imagining their faces on the planet's surface. He faces forward again to resume flying, until he looks back again, only to notice that Louie is not in his cockpit. It's too late to go back, as the ship is already warping. The camera then zooms back to show part of the planet. | ||

The Pikmin start glowing with colors of their respective types, and soon, the ground is covered with several lights. The [[camera]] shows the Pikmin dancing while watching their leader go. After a while, Olimar looks up, to notice that the three main Onions have followed him for one last ride. After a while, the Onions return, and Olimar rides back to his home, rather happy. | ||

*If the player chooses to quit a [[cave]] from the [[Menu#Pause|pause menu]], either in the main story mode or [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], [[Hocotate Ship|the Ship]]'s research pod will beam the leader(s) up and take them to safety. In the main story mode, the Pikmin will not be visible, implying they were beamed prior to the cutscene, but in Challenge Mode, the Pikmin remain on the ground, showing that the leaders quit without them. | |||
*Whenever a cave or sublevel is entered, a cutscene shows the leader(s) and Pikmin jumping down. | |||
*If a cave is exited through a [[geyser]], a cutscene plays showing the leader(s) and Pikmin jumping on it and being expelled. The camera remains pointed at the geyser for a few extra seconds, so that, if there are any [[Bulbmin]] in the player's party, the cutscene can have enough time to show that the creatures do not follow the party to the surface. | |||
*When a [[2-Player Battle]] game ends, a cutscene highlighting the victory condition takes place. | |||

===Charlie's introduction=== | |||
===Alph's introduction=== | |||
===Brittany's introduction=== | |||
===Tutorials=== | |||
A few tutorials play at key points in the game, which force the player to do certain actions in a semi-cinematic way. | |||
*On the first day, when [[Charlie]] is exploring, he is eventually surrounded by [[Yellow Pikmin]]. The game then teaches the player how to [[whistle]], [[throw]] and [[dismiss]], by having Charlie attempt those three things in order to shoo away the Pikmin. | |||
*When [[Alph]] finds the trapped red [[Onion]], a tutorial makes Alph throw the Pikmin at it. | |||
*Upon collecting the [[KopPad]], Alph attempts to find the [[S.S. Drake]]'s location, and to do so, the player must pan the radar. | |||
*When Alph finds Rock Pikmin, he quizzes about their attempts to crack open a [[crystal]]. The player can either stand and watch as they do so, or whistle them and throw them at it, which are the only two options. | |||
*When Alph and Britanny are reunited on the [[Garden of Hope]], a tutorial takes place with Alph throwing Britanny and some Pikmin atop a ledge, and then Britanny throw the Pikmin up the second ledge. This tutorial teaches about throwing and switching leaders. | |||
===Minor cutscenes=== | |||
*A small cutscene plays when Charlie's section of the first day ends, which shows him being ambushed by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. | |||
*At the end of the first day, there is a brief cutscene with Alph explaining how he should go in orbit for the night. | |||
*When landing on the [[Distant Tundra]] for the first time, a cutscene shows Alph and Brittany's separation. | |||
*Every boss has an introduction and defeat cutscene. | |||
*At the start of every [[Mission Mode]] stage, a brief cutscene shows the general layout of the stage. | |||
*Every time a [[data file]] is collected by the main leader, the action pauses, they spin in place in celebration, and open up the file on the KopPad. | |||

If the player is idle on the title screen for long enough, the game will start showing a bit of gameplay, to show new players how the game works. Because of the different controls, these vary between game and between the GameCube originals and ''[[New Play Control!]]'' remakes. These pre-rendered cutscenes appear in the following order, and loop over to the first one after the last one plays: | If the player is idle on the title screen for long enough, the game will start showing a bit of gameplay, to show new players how the game works.
