Editing Minor characters

{{todo|Add sources. A ''lot'' of them.}}
There are some '''minor characters''' mentioned in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], but are never given any more importance to the plot than the main [[leader]]s and other similar characters. Some of these supporting characters include family members to the main cast. Because some of these are only briefly mentioned, little is known about them, such as their name.

== Olimar's family ==
[[Olimar]]'s known family consists of his wife, his son, his daughter, and his pet, Bulbie. Since Olimar works for [[Hocotate Freight]], it seems he gets little time to spend with his family. In ''Pikmin 3'', he addresses this by stating that he will take his whole family on a vacation when he gets home. Judging from the ''Pikmin 2'' [[mail]], it seems that Olimar's family has no responsibility for handling money, because they spend Olimar's bonuses on things like trips to the hot springs, and his son states that he should send in a bonus check for a spam mail offer.

Olimar's wife is a woman who has a blue shirt covered with an apron. She cares about her kids very much, but is usually irresponsible when it comes to money. When Olimar's special bonuses arrive at his house, she often uses the money to buy her kids what they have been wanting.{{cite quote|Olimar, you've worked so hard! Your special bonus arrived today. This is a first, right? I bought the kids a few things they've been wanting. They were so happy! And so was I...|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|We received yet another special bonus! I've come to love you all anew! I decided to take the kids to the hot springs. We'll have enough fun for you too, so don't worry!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}} However, it seems that money can make the best of her. Whenever the bonuses come in, she seems to get stricter on her kids, and might be lacking in common sense, as Olimar's son states that she wants things like sending Bulbie to the circus.<ref name="circus"/> She admits to sometimes going to beaches and theaters all day until the kids come home.{{cite quote|Hey, hon! I'm on a solo vacation right now. Beach by day, theater at night. Ahhh, life is grand! And don't worry, the kids are in school every night until 10! Wheeeeee!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}}

After losing a large amount of money, she realizes the mistake she made, and loosens back up into her former self. In the original versions of ''Pikmin 2'', this resulted from her wasting money on lottery tickets;{{cite quote|I think I may have messed up, darling... I lost a small fortune buying lottery tickets. It was all a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in GameCube and Wii versions of {{p2}}}} the Nintendo Switch port alters the mail to say that she was pickpocketed.{{cite quote|I think I messed up, darling... A pickpocket stole a small fortune from me. It's been a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}} In both cases, the Japanese version of the mail say that she was pickpocketed at a casino. After time has passed, she pleads for Olimar to come home (very lovingly), promising his favorite meal – [[pikpik carrot]] soup.{{cite quote|I love you! Don't keep me waiting any longer! Please come home! I've made a ton of your favorite soup, and it's here waiting for you!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}}

At one point during ''Pikmin 2'', she tried to apply for a part-time job, but got rejected in favor of younger employees.{{cite quote|Hey, you should know... I didn't get that part-time job. That stupid store is only hiring teenagers who wear too much makeup, apparently. Maybe I need a new look or something.|Olimar's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}} Sometime after this, she instead gets a job as a boss as mentioned in ''Hey! Pikmin''.{{cite quote|{{notes:Young Yellow Wollywog/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Young Yellow Wollywog]].}}

In ''Pikmin 2'', her age becomes indirectly noted, given that Olimar mentions his wife's wrinkles – a sign of elderhood. He plans to take her on vacation to calm her down.{{cite quote|Just between you and me, I've noticed lately that [my wife]'s been getting more wrinkles. Now that I think about it, I've probably caused her a lot of stress. When I return to Hocotate, I'll take her on a long vacation.|Olimar|his [[Treasure Hoard]] notes for the [[Petrified Heart]]}} At some point after collecting all 201 [[treasure]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', she will send a repeating message asking Olimar to come home. The only way to stop these messages is to open a new [[Saved game|save file]].

Olimar's son is a standard young boy, with a cap and green shirt with a white stripe. He seems to be fascinated by his father's adventures, and seems to envy him.{{cite quote|Papa! No fair! No fair! You snuck off and went on an expedition without me! You have to promise to absolutely, positively take me next time! Say it! Say you PROOOOOMISE!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He is addicted to video games,{{cite quote|{{Notes:Repair Juggernaut/journal}}|[[Captain Olimar]] on the [[Repair Juggernaut]]|[[Olimar's journal|his journal]]}} and enjoys them more than studying, in contrast to Olimar's daughter. Judging by some of his mail, he must be in his teenager years, and is anxious with girls.{{cite quote|Papa! There's this girl at school who's kind of nice, and I've been bragging all about you to her. So, I need you to bring me back the coolest souvenir ever!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|Papa! Thanks! There were so many cute girls at the hot springs! I was a little nervous, but I got over it. Next time, you totally have to come with us! We'll have so much fun!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He always yearns for his father to come home, and doesn't like it when his mother becomes strict because of the pay bonuses, asking his father to come home to fix the mess. He seems to be easily won over, as he asks if he should send in Olimar's bonus check for a piece of spam mail.{{cite quote|Lately, I've been getting a ton of mail from a strange person selling designer items at cut-rate prices. It sounds like a deal. Should I send them your bonus check?|Olimar's son|a [[mail|letter]]|rname=<son spam?>}}

Olimar's son is also known to have gifted his father the [[Sagittarius]]. Because of this, some fans nickname the boy "Sagittarius".

Olimar's daughter is seen only wearing a pink suit with a hood of sorts, and has little personality. In her mail she sends in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', she discusses briefly how she is being pressured to become a proper lady, and asks Olimar what she should do.{{cite quote|rname=daughter-school|Papa! I'm going to prep school! Mama said that if I don't study hard, I can't become a proper lady. Did I write a nice proper mail? Do tell, Papa!|Olimar's daughter|a [[mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|Daddy, Mama has changed again. She's become nice like she used to be. She said it's OK if I don't study. Is it really OK if I don't become a perfect, proper lady? Really?|Olimar's daughter|a [[mail|letter]]}} She also speaks about how Olimar's wife has changed during the absence of her husband. She attends some school on Hocotate, based on the fact that her mother gets strict about her writing and studying.<ref name=daughter-school/> She also appears to like jewelry, as noted by Olimar on some [[treasure]]s. Despite these mature traits, she is depicted as a baby in a [[Olimar's voyage log|''Pikmin'' voyage log]], and in the [[The Night Juicer#Bulletin board|bulletin board in The Night Juicer]] yet [[Olimar's son|her brother]] seems the same age in both. This is likely a [[mistake|consistency error]].

Olimar's daughter is known to have gifted the [[Libra]] to her father, and that the Libra is her astrological sign. Because of this, some fans give her the nickname "Libra". She also appears as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The sticker increases Pikmin attack damage by 7%.

=== Bulbie ===
[[File:Olimar's family P1 Voyage Log.png|left|thumb|100px|Olimar's family, as seen in his [[Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]]. Bulbie is at the bottom.]]
Bulbie is Olimar's family pet space dog.{{cite quote|rname=circus|Papa! Hurry up and come home! Mama is so nuts! Every day, she orders me to study, study, study! She’s even thinking about sending our dog, Bulbie, to the circus! Help!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He is briefly mentioned in ''Pikmin'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', and is described to physically resemble a [[Bulborb]], as the voyage log he's seen in depicts him with eye-stalks, a wide mouth, three spots, and two legs. He is also described as very lazy, which is sometimes a characteristic of real world dogs.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Dutiful Watchdog/heypikmin}}|Olimar|the [[Hey!

=== Olimar's parents ===
Olimar's mother and father are briefly mentioned in his notes on the [[Priceless Statue]] and [[Worthless Statue]] respectively in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|New Play Control!]] versions of ''Pikmin 2''. Olimar sees his father as slightly worthless and, at a first glance being impressive, but being considered "cheap" upon closer inspection.{{cite quote|At first, this object looked impressive, but closer inspection reveals it's just a cheap statue. In many ways, it reminds me of my father.|[[Olimar]]|his [[Olimar's journal|journal]] about the [[Worthless Statue]]}} Olimar's mother is reminisced by him when writing the notes for the Priceless Statue, and notes how the [[treasure]] is similar to a gift he once gave her for Mother's Day.

I miss her...sometimes.|[[Olimar]]|his [[Olimar's journal|journal]] about the [[Priceless Statue]]}} Finally, the notes on the [[Taste Sensation]] also mention Olimar's mother, in that Olimar describes the treasure's taste to be similar to something his mother has cooked for him by hand.{{cite quote|Some things on this world can't be understood, no matter how much I analyze them. For instance, this is the first time I've tasted this, yet it has a nostalgic taste. It's inexplicable!

== Louie's family ==
The only member of [[Louie]]'s family is mentioned in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'', his grandmother.

=== Louie's grandmother ===

Louie's grandmother shows a lot of love for Louie, as well as a lot of concern as he is missing for part of ''Pikmin 2''.{{cite quote|rname=bug food|Louie... You've sent absolutely no replies. I'm worried about you. I'd like to come see you, but I'm so old... All I can do is send you preserved bug foods...|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}} In her mail, she describes fond memories of Louie as a boy and how bugs loved him (or rather, loved biting him).{{cite quote|Louie, I sent you some of the preserved bug foods from home. You should share some with your company president. As a kid, bugs loved you so much. Always nibbling...|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}} She sometimes sang a special lullaby to put him to sleep.{{cite quote|Nana used to sing me a special lullaby to put me at ease. I would instantly fall asleep.|[[Louie]]|his notes for the [[Mechanical Harp (Lullabies)]]}} She also talks about how she made Louie eat bugs{{cite quote|At my age, reminiscing is wonderful. Louie, do you remember the hill behind our house? You hated to play outside, so I made you eat bugs and plants. Ah, memories...|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}} and how he loves [[pikpik carrot]]s,{{cite quote|rname=grandma we|Louie, we suddenly stopped hearing from you! Everything OK? If things get tough, you can always come home. I'll stock up on those Pikpik carrots you love!|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}} and she apparently sends preserved bug food with her mail,<ref name="bug food"/> though it is never actually seen or detailed. At least in Louie's youth, his grandmother lived near a mountain which he suggests was muddy.{{cite quote|Got stuck in the bottomless swamp. Some parts of it were pitch-black. And now I'm covered in mud. Reminded me of the mountain behind Nana's house.|[[Louie]]|his [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|voyage log]]}} Louie claims that she likes round, shiny objects.{{cite quote|Would make a nice gift for Nana. She likes pretty things like this.|[[Louie]]|his notes for the [[Sphere of Calm]]}}{{cite quote|This would be a great gift for Nana. She could use something shiny.|[[Louie]]|his notes for the [[Princess Pearl]] in {{p4}}}} It appears as though she is not alone, given how at one point she uses the term "we" in one of her mails.<ref name="grandma we"/>

After all the [[treasure]]s in the game have been collected, Louie's grandmother sends one final message, in which she shows her pride in how Louie has become an "extraordinary man".{{cite quote|Louie, I heard that you completed your task! Congratulations! My little Louie has become an extraordinary man! How about visiting your dad? I've got bug juice!|Louie's grandmother|a [[Mail|letter]]}} In the GameCube and Wii versions of ''Pikmin 2'', she mistakenly referred to herself as Louie's "dad" in this message, likely due to {{j|ババ|baba|grandmother|f=tp}} being misread as {{j|パパ|papa|dad|f=tp}}. This mistake is not present in the Japanese version, and is fixed in the Switch port, where the word "nana" is used instead. The same mistake was fixed with his "auntie" which is retconned as his grandmother in the Switch port.

In his [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|voyage log]] in {{p4}}, Louie indirectly mentions that his grandmother sent him cookies to eat during his mission to rescue [[Captain Olimar]]. Louie grew tired of her cookies, so he started cooking creatures from PNF-404 instead.{{cite quote|Got sick of Nana's cookies, so I tried eating some of the creatures around here. They're pretty yummy.|[[Louie]]|his [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|voyage log]]}}

== The President's family ==
[[The President]] has only one known member in his family, his wife.

=== The President's wife ===
{{Infobox character

The President's wife is quite a sassy woman and the "real boss" of Hocotate Freight. She reveals to constantly be yelling at her husband for loafing around. At one point, she sends the President mail stating that his report is wrong.{{cite quote|Your notification report was wrong again. How many times do I have to correct you? It's because of behavior like this that I, the REAL boss, have to work so hard.|The President's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}} She also reveals that the ship sends her a report at the end of every day, and says that the ship knows that she is the real boss.{{cite quote|Hey, you think you can loaf because I can't see you? The ship has been reporting everything to me! Are you surprised? That machine knows who the real boss is.|The President's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}}

During the President's absence, she begins turning the company around for the better.{{cite quote|It may interest you to know I've somehow been able to begin turning the company around in your absence. So, you just go on doing what you like for a bit longer, OK?|The President's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}} Once all the [[treasure]]s are retrieved, she thanks her husband and says she sees him "in a new light". This implies that she is very responsible about work.

== Alph's family ==
[[Alph]] has only one known important member in his family: his grandfather, Drake. Alph talks about him sometimes while aboard the S.S. Drake. He also has many siblings.

=== Drake ===
Very little is known about Drake. All that is known about him is that he designed the [[S.S. Drake]]{{cite quote|So, Alph, your grandfather was the one who designed our spaceship, right?|[[Charlie]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} and that he knows about some of [[Hocotate]]'s history. Other than that, it is said that Alph spent a lot of time with his grandfather as a child.{{cite quote|Yep. I learned an awful lot watching my grandfather work while I was growing up.|[[Alph]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} As a result, he looks up to Drake as a role model. Where Alph's comments on the [[Hermit Crawmad]] say "Although I have heard that an intentional flaw lends a certain charm to one's creations", the Japanese version reveals this was something Alph heard from his grandfather.

The S.S. Drake's trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' mentions that the name "Drake" may remind players of the second man to circumnavigate the globe, {{w|Francis Drake|Sir Francis Drake}}.

Because Drake's name begins with D, some fans believe that this would be the name of the [[Pikmin 3 prerelease information|fourth playable leader]], had the developers not cut the character off during development.

=== Alph's siblings ===
Alph also has twelve older brothers, one older sister, and one younger brother. Alph mentioned how his older sister used to always share food with him even when it was scarce.{{cite quote|I miss my big sister, especially. She always shared her food with me, even when it was scarce.|[[Alph]]|his [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}} Other than that, Alph doesn't talk much about them. It is implied that [[Yorke]] from {{p4}} is one of Alph's siblings.

== Brittany's family ==
[[Brittany]] also has only one known member of her family &ndash; Auntie Bea. However, [[Nelle]] is implied to be a relative of hers.

=== Auntie Bea ===
Auntie Bea is Brittany's aunt. She is known for her famous fruit pastries on Koppai.{{cite quote|The taste of this one takes me back to Auntie Bea's famous fruit pastries.|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Velvety Dreamdrop]]}} Auntie Bea's hair is similar to the color of the [[Dusk Pustules]], and in Brittany's notes on the same fruit, she states that to be a "rebellious streak", implying most Koppaites don't have that color of hair naturally.{{cite quote|The color reminds of something... Oh! Auntie Bea's hair! She has such a rebellious streak...|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Dusk Pustules]]}} Auntie Bea's nose is similar in shape to the [[Tremendous Sniffer]], and she is the envy of the family because of her nose.{{cite quote|This specimen has a sweet flavor and a soft texture...kind of like my Auntie Bea. The shape reminds me of her nose, too. So elegant! So glamorous! She's the envy of the family with that nose...|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Tremendous Sniffer]]}} However, the Japanese version does not mention a nose: instead, Brittany describes her aunt's elegant appearance, and expresses wanting to be like her. She treated Brittany with lots of love, giving her sweets and such, and Brittany likes her because of it.{{cite quote|The taste reminds me of the sweets Auntie Bea gave me as a child. The big, greedy stone doesn't leave much room for juice, but maybe someday it will grow into a tree in Auntie Bea's back garden and I can repay her kindness. She was so sweet to me. |[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Velvety Dreamdrop]]}}

== Charlie's pets ==
None of Charlie's blood relatives are ever named, but two pets are mentioned. Alph also mentions that he's not sure if Charlie is married or not.{{cite quote|Could that be his wife's name? I don't even know if the captain is married.|[[Alph]]|his [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}}

=== Elizabeth ===
In a few check ins, Alph asks Charlie who "Elizabeth" is, Charlie explains that Elizabeth is his pet duck with which he shares a strong bond with and that he considers her his soulmate.{{cite quote|Elizabeth is my soul mate. Leave it at that.|[[Charlie]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} This pet is directly stated to be a duck,{{cite quote|GEESE ARE FILTHY CREATURES! ...Elizabeth is a duck.|[[Charlie]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} so together with Charlie's rubber ducky and Brittany's mention of geese, Koppai must have animal species that closely resembles those of Earth.

=== Charlie's dog ===
In the US version, Brittany's notes on the [[Dawn Pustules]] imply that Charlie may have a pet dog. Charlie is apparently said to have painted his dog to match his favorite color &ndash; the shade of green seen on his spacesuit.{{cite quote|He painted his room, his fingernails, and (I heard) even his dog this color. Bleh.|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Dusk Pustules]]}} In the European and Japanese versions, there is no mention of a dog at all.

== The Shepherd family ==
The Shepherd family history in {{p4}} contains the different captains of the [[Rescue Corps]] over the generations, all being related to [[Shepherd|Erma Shepherd]]. Most of them are known through the "Shepherd Family History" section of the [[Rescue Journal]], with the exception of Erma's father who she mentions in her own diary.{{cite quote|The previous captain, my father, was the very definition of generous.|[[Erma Shepherd]]|the [[Rescue Journal#Captain's Diary|Captain's Diary]]}}

== Russ' Family ==
Only one member of Russ' family is known, that being his mother, who is briefly mentioned in ''Pikmin 4''.

== Civilian castaways ==
{{image}}
In ''Pikmin 4'', there are several travelers that are not associated with the Rescue Corps that have become stranded on [[PNF-404]]. They will stay at the [[Rescue Command Post]] upon being rescued, and some provide useful functions or give the player [[Mission (Pikmin 4)#Side Missions|side missions]]. Their names are inspired by different {{w|Canidae|canines}}.

=== Schnauz ===
Schnauz is a [[treasure]] appraiser. Rescuing him unlocks the [[Treasure Catalog]]. His name alludes to {{w|Schnauzer}}s. He is from the planet [[Siguray]]. When chatting to him after his rescue he reveals that he loves treasure both for its monetary value, and also for its sentimental value, although one line of dialogue suggests that the former is more important.{{cite quote|It's such a thrill to see how much these might sell for... Eh, I mean, my thirst for treasure knowledge is unquenchable!|[[Schnauz]]|the Rescue Command Post}} He plans on finding more treasure on other planets as soon as he is off of this one.{{cite quote|If and when treasures are found on another planet, I can assure you I will fly there straightaway.|[[Schnauz]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Schnauz's notes on returning treasures in the Treasure Catalog are heavily based on the [[Hocotate ship]]'s [[Treasure Hoard#Sales pitch|sales pitches]]. Due to translation differences, this is more apparent in the Japanese version.

=== Kit ===
Kit is a research task force recruit that's studying raw materials. His name alludes to the {{w|Akita (dog)|Akita Inu}}. He is from the planet [[Siguray]].

Kit is another member of [[Chet]]'s team. He is [[Osa]]'s junior and it is thanks to him that Kit became part of the task force. Kit is a lot more slow and methodical compared to Osa, however he admires Osa's energy. Kit has put some research into ores and minerals on [[PNF-404]] as well as [[raw material]], he had figured out that raw material is not a mineral but instead a "highly pure conglomeration of fossilized creature remains" something that has not been observed elsewhere in the universe leading Kit to believe that either it's a process that happens only on PNF-404 or through a "unknown life-fourm". Kit is very interested in minerals in one quote saying "The resources I've found on this planet are exceptional! Did you know that the purity of the minerals in the ground here is..." he cuts off before apologizing for rambling, his favorite mineral is iron and talks about oxidation. Kit claims that when he found a "beautiful ore that shimmers in all the colors of the rainbow" on PNF-404 and "it cracked when I fell to the surface" the ore may be referencing bismuth a colorful and brittle ore, this message also implies that the research crew landed on PNF-404 without issue but as they were taking off they crashed due to the fact that Kit found bismuth "here" and it cracked as he "fell to the surface".

When Twyla agreed to join [[Chet]]'s research task force, something urged to her by her professor, she was confident, however, ever sense landing she has felt completely out of her depth, as she is much more comfortable in a lab environment then out on the field. After the crash Twyla doesn't understand how the rest of the task force can remain calm about their situation. Twyla also remarks about [[Keesh]] (a student who also crashed) and how Keesh keeps asking geology questions to her that even she doesn't know the answers to. Twyla, not wanting to not be seen as smart has made countless excuses to avoid Keesh. After the player rescues [[Komo]], Twyla talks about her, saying that she is shy like her and she helped Twyla not be to scared. Twyla describes Komo as a irreplaceable friend she listens sincerely to everything Twyla talks about and Twyla does the same. After Komo is saved Twyla starts to have a different view on past events, saying that now they have a great opportunity to study [[PNF-404]], saying that her professor was right to push Twyla into this task force in order to get some out of lab experience. She goes outside the base camp with Komo to study the planet's soil and it's water purifying properties, and when Keesh asks more questions about geology she starts being honest saying that she doesn't know, but they are both in the midst of their education and can learn together.

=== Santi ===
Santi is an uncharted planet tour pilot. According to him, he was born right next to [[Bernard]], and he has has a bizarre form of bad luck where Bernard will always be present (and always succeeding) at the next location he goes to, even when Bernard is completely unaware of Santi's next destination. It took Santi about three months to get his pilot's license, and Bernard was, much to his chagrin, his driving instructor. His name may allude to {{w|St. Bernard (dog)|St. Bernard dogs}}. He is from the planet [[Nijo]].

[[File:SPAM bargains.png|thumb|An example of a spam icon from the ''Pikmin 2'' [[mail]].]]

There are five characters in ''Pikmin 2'' that send spam e-mails after the debt has been repaid. The icons for these characters merely show a silhouette, leaving their appearances mostly unknown. They all attempt to advertise one thing or another, and include a real-world Internet address in their messages, for the players themselves to visit.

=== Spam 1 ===
The first spam message the player will receive is from a person who is apparently very lonely and wants a friend to listen to their troubles.{{cite quote|I am so lonely... I want a friend that'll listen to my troubles. I want to meet someone like you.|A spammer|a [[mail]]}} Based on the shady outline, this character is probably female.

=== Spam 2 ===
The second spam message is from someone talking about saving tons of [[Poko]]s through bargains and cut-rate prices.{{cite quote|Do you love BARGAINS? Do you like DESIGNER ITEMS AT CUT-RATE PRICES? Then come save tons of Pokos at...|A spammer|a [[mail]]}} Olimar's son also mentions that he received a similar message, and asks Olimar if he should send his bonus check.{{cite quote|Lately, I've been getting a ton of mail from a strange person selling designer items at cut-rate prices. It sounds like a deal. Should I send them your bonus check?|Olimar's son|a [[mail|letter]]|rname=<son spam?>}}

=== Spam 3 ===
The third spam message is received after Louie has been recovered. The sender talks about some device that accordingly "slices... dices... plays videogames... sends mail... wraps gifts" and "cures snoring".{{cite quote|It slices! It dices! It plays video games! It sends mail! It wraps gifts! It cures snoring! Interested?|A spammer|a [[mail]]}}

=== Spam 4 ===
The fourth spam message talks about changing jobs, and finding "the new you". It advertises an unseen company known as Hocotate Whiz.{{cite quote|Would you like to find the new you? If you're thinking about changing jobs, let Hocotate Whiz do the work for you!|A spammer|a [[mail]]}}

=== Spam 5 ===
The fifth and final spam message is received after all the treasures have been collected. It advertises music. It speaks of "Pikpik's greatest hits", implying that there is a band on Hocotate by the name of Pikpik.{{cite quote|Not just songs; songs of love! Rock out to Pikpik's greatest hits and get sappy!|A spammer|a [[mail]]}}
