Talk:Mission (Pikmin 4)

Merging side mission levels

A large number of side missions have several levels, with identical rewards and descriptions, differing only in the completion target and the number in the mission name. To keep the side mission table readable, what if we combined the levels of each mission into one entry? (I've added an example combining the levels of Pitunia's "Fuse Onions" mission in the table.)

Adding Various Side Missions

My latest edit has added the following missions to the Side Missions table: Appraisal Frenzy 2−5, Friend to All Pikmin, Leafling Meet and Greet, Find the Missing Students, Researching Onions 1−4, Building Goodwill 1−3, Music of a Past Culture 1−3, and Dandori Battle Training 1−4 (with Dandori Battle Training 4 as a separate entry due to a slightly different completion goal). − Amplificator. 04:11, August 9, 2023 (EST)

Olimar's Shipwreck Tale's Missions

There are missions in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale as well as the main story, albeit not many as there's only one main objective, which should also be documented. − Amplificator. 10:22, August 12, 2023 (EST)

cave delving 1 uncleared state

I don't know if it's possible on new game + but I noticed that unlike all the other missions which can be ignored and uncleared. cave delving 1 is impossible to leave in an uncleared state due to how game progression and castaways work. to leave it uncleared you'd have to rescue 2 castaways per cave to first rescue yonny (something that isn't possible in sun speckaled terrace as it's caves only have 1 each) now the minimum caves that would need to be cleared to save yonny would be 4 which would be possible if SST could be done caveless, however if Burrow of Beginnings counts as a cave that brings the total back up to 5 thus clearing Dash's mission. meaning it's impossible to have this mission uncleared by the time Dash is cured/rescued as it would get automatically cleared. another interesting thing about this is how the mission givers have different dialogue depending on whether or not you've already cleared their mission before receiving it, (such as Petunia wishing they could've seen the unfused onion) meaning that it's also possible that Dash has some unused dialogue impossible to see during normal gameplay.Pikmin Theories (talk) 20:36, July 16, 2026 (UTC)

Since the mission only counts caves that you have exited with a fan, or caves that you have gotten 100% in, it's totally possible to exit through the menu to not complete the quest. And about the dialogue, it's not that it's different dialogue, it's just extra dialogue added on top. Mama09001 (talk) 08:32, July 18, 2026 (UTC)

Ah ok, though dunno if i 100% the caves but i know i never used the cave exit. and yeah I know it's just extra dialouge. but it would've been unused. I did do some testing to try not to clear the mission i guess perhaps i messed up somewhere then? Pikmin Theories (talk) 01:40, July 19, 2026 (UTC)

Okay yeah, i just did another test run and made sure not to 100% the caves and what you said is indeed true my bad.Pikmin Theories (talk) 03:46, July 19, 2026 (UTC)
