Pikmin 3: Difference between revisions

I think it reads better as a bullet point list.
(After hours of research, I have concluded that the thresholds for the middle endings are 33 and 54 fruits.)

There are 4 possible endings for the game, and which one is seen depends on the amount of [[fruit]] obtained. In the worst of the endings, obtained by getting less than 33 fruits, the narrator says that the explorers secured a "modest supply" of fruit, and implies that the amount of seeds obtained here may not be enough to solve the Koppai famine. In the next ending, obtained by getting between 33 and 53 fruits, the narrator says that the explorers secured a "reasonable supply" of fruit, and indicates that the seeds may be enough, but only if the population is careful; if they squander their resources again, the same problem may return. In the next ending, obtained by getting between 54 and 65 fruits, the narrator says that the explorers secured a "healthy supply" of fruit, and implies that the seeds obtained here can be used to stop the crisis if used properly; he also discusses how the explorers have learned the wisdom of planning. Lastly, the best possible ending is seen from obtaining all 66 fruits. In this ending, the narrator says that the explorers secured a "bountiful supply" of fruit, and implies that Koppai survived the food crisis and that the explorers have learnt the valuable lessons of planning and teamwork. The narration ends by suggesting that the cause of the accident that sent the [[S.S. Drake]] hurtling towards the planet's surface may not have been an accident at all. It is not known which of these endings is [[canon]].

At the end of the [[credits]], the Pikmin are seen singing and coexisting with both themselves and the creatures of the Pikmin planet. However, this is interrupted when the Pikmin spot a flaming object crashing onto the surface of the planet, and they run towards it. The Voyage Log entry for the last day states that [[Louie]] did not board the ship with Olimar and the Koppaites. Although nothing else is elaborated in the original release of ''Pikmin 3'', [[Olimar's Comeback]] in {{p3d}} goes into more detail about this ending.
