Canon: Difference between revisions
This way, the canon is objectively explained, but still manages to make sense. We can't be sure if the Hocotate ship in P3 crash-landed and got destroyed then, or if it was the QM's fault, so I changed that a bit.
(fixed order of events, some necessary speculation needed to explain a plot point was added (louie arriving in the twilight river)) |

While traveling through space, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] hits a meteor, which sends it plummeting to the surface of [[PNF-404]], its [[Ship part|parts]] scattering about. While on the planet, [[Captain Olimar]] discovers [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], in that order, and manages to retrieve all of his missing ship parts, starting with the [[Main Engine]], and ending with the [[Secret Safe]]. | While traveling through space, the [[S.S.

It is | It is not known which ending is the canon one, but it could be considered to be the one where he gathers all ship parts, given that in ''Pikmin 2'', Olimar has brought a souvenir home for his son, something that only likely happened after the collection of the Secret Safe, which is even implied by Olimar himself{{cite quote|{{Notes:Secret Safe/monolog}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's monologues in Pikmin 1|a monologue]] about finding the [[Secret Safe]]}}. In addition, it's revealed that Olimar's wife eventually finds a "secret cash stash"{{cite quote|Today, as I cleaned the bedroom, I found your secret cash stash. With thanks, I'll accept it gladly. I'll just pretend I didn't see that journal of yours...|[[Olimar's wife]]|a piece of [[mail]]}}, which can only be assumed to be the Secret Safe. | ||
When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]], he finds that [[Hocotate Freight|his company]] had to undergo a debt to repay the loss of a cargo of [[golden pikpik carrot]]s. These carrots were actually eaten by [[Louie]], as revealed in a [[cutscene]] that is unlocked with all levels being perfected in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. They land on the planet using the [[Hocotate ship]], and while there, Olimar rediscovered Red Pikmin, collects the [[Courage Reactor]], discovers [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]], and rediscovers [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], in that order. Eventually, him and Louie repay the debt and return to Hocotate, but during the trip, Louie gets lost behind. They then return to the planet and recover Louie from the [[Titan Dweevil]]. | |||
Some time after this, Olimar and Louie return to the planet to collect more treasure. [[Secret | Some time after this, Olimar and Louie return to the planet to collect more treasure. [[Secret File|Olimar's expedition log]]s for this journey reveal that [[Hocotate Freight]]'s new business venture failed miserably and it has been put in debt again. While they were exploring the Distant Tundra, [[Koppai]] sends three explorers to PNF-404 in search for food. On their way, the [[S.S. Drake]] ejects them and splits them into different [[area]]s. [[Captain Charlie]] wakes up on the [[Distant Tundra]], finds [[Yellow Pikmin]], and eventually loses them when he's confronted with the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. [[Alph]] then wakes up to find himself on the [[Tropical Wilds]], and encounters [[Red Pikmin]] and the Drake. He then learns that the Koppaites cannot return to their home planet without the cosmic drive key, which went missing during the landing. Somewhere along the way, Olimar finds Charlie's impact site and leaves the [[Anti-Electrifier]] with [[Area Hints (Exploration Notes)#To the survivors|a note]], due to the area having "many electrical contraptions". Sometime after, Olimar finds the [[cosmic drive key]] for the S.S. Drake, which he keeps as a souvenir for his son. | ||
Afterwards, Alph makes his way to the [[Garden of Hope]], where he gets [[Rock Pikmin]] and reunites with [[Brittany]]. After defeating the [[Armored Mawdad]], as the two make their way to the [[Distant Tundra]], Brittany gets knocked off the ship and lands in a cave where she discovers [[Yellow Pikmin]]. The Hocotatians eventually make their way to the [[Formidable Oak]], where Louie turns back and Olimar gets captured by the [[Plasm Wraith]]. | Afterwards, Alph makes his way to the [[Garden of Hope]], where he gets [[Rock Pikmin]] and reunites with [[Brittany]].

The Hocotatians eventually make their way to the [[Formidable Oak]], where Louie turns back and Olimar gets captured by the [[Plasm Wraith]]. Somehow, during this escape, Louie lands in the [[Twilight River]] while the ship itself crash-lands in the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]'s arena. The two Koppaites reunite once more, take down the Vehemoth Phosbat and rescue Charlie. They then head off to the Twilight River to pursue a signal they received, and in there, they find [[Winged Pikmin]]. They finally manage to rescue [[Louie]] from the [[Scornet Maestro]], only to have him land the Drake at the [[Garden of Hope]], and steal all their fruit and treasure, on the very next day. The trio chases the thief, and along the way, find [[Blue Pikmin]] through a path that Louie managed to open. While they are at it, Louie starts recording [[Secret Files#Louie's log|his log]] but he is attacked by the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]. They eventually face and defeat the Quaggled Mireclops, with the Hocotate ship totaled just outside the bounds of the arena, and take Louie back with them, now tying him up. Louie reveals the location of [[Captain Olimar]], and the explorers set out to rescue him on the [[Formidable Oak]]. The final fight happens against the [[Plasm Wraith]], and afterwards, Olimar returns the cosmic drive key, and the whole cast leaves the planet. | ||
There are two endings to ''Pikmin 3'', depending on how much fruit the player obtains. If they left some pieces of fruit behind, the narrator will state that it is unclear if Koppai will prosper, during the epilogue. But if the player got them all, the announcer will proclaim a bright future for the planet. At this point, neither of the two endings have been confirmed or denied to be canon. | There are two endings to ''Pikmin 3'', depending on how much fruit the player obtains.
