==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
Upon returning to [[Hocotate]] after his adventure on the planet of the Pikmin, [[Captain Olimar]] meets [[President of Hocotate Freight|his employer]] and a newly hired, supposedly inexperienced employee named [[Louie]]. Olimar learns that [[Hocotate Freight]] is massively in debt due to the loss of a shipment of [[Golden Pikpik carrots]], a situation brought about by Louie; Olimar's ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], is consequently removed in order to repay some of the debt, at which Olimar drops a bottle cap in shock, brought back to Hocotate as a souvenir for his son. The Ship proceeds to absorb the bottle cap and values it at 100 [[Poko]]s, leading to the President then sending Olimar and Louie back to the Pikmin planet. | Upon returning to [[Hocotate]] after his adventure on the planet of the Pikmin, [[Captain Olimar]] meets [[President of Hocotate Freight|his employer]] and a newly hired, supposedly inexperienced employee named [[Louie]].

[[Purple Pikmin]] are the first underground Pikmin and the second kind of Pikmin discovered, and are found by using the [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s in the last sublevel of the [[Emergence Cave]]. They have a bulky appearance and have visible hairs on their head. They are needed to carry the [[Spherical Atlas]] in the cave because purples have 10 times the strength of an ordinary Pikmin and the treasure's weight is 101. Their great weight means that they shake the ground upon landing from a throw, which can temporarily stun nearby enemies of most species that are on the ground. Purples are also the strongest type of Pikmin, dealing the most damage in attacking enemies. They possess an advantage over other Pikmin when dealing with some bosses: for example, they can harm [[Giant Breadbug]]s and can make a [[Waterwraith]] vulnerable to attack by any Pikmin. | [[Purple Pikmin]] are the first underground Pikmin and the second kind of Pikmin discovered, and are found by using the [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s in the last sublevel of the [[Emergence Cave]].

[[White Pikmin]] are the second underground Pikmin and third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2. To find the game's first White Pikmin, the player must visit the [[White Flower Garden]] and progress to [[sublevel]] three, where the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s are. They are smaller than other Pikmin and have red eyes. The poison clouds produced by poison pipes and [[Doodlebug]]s will cause Pikmin to choke, but White Pikmin are immune. These Pikmin can locate buried items on their own, making them essential for unearthing buried treasure. They are also the fastest of the Pikmin, both in carrying items and keeping up with the player. When eaten by an enemy, they poison the enemy and cause it to lose some health; smaller Bulborbs are killed instantly. | [[White Pikmin]] are the second underground Pikmin and third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2.
