There are four endings to ''Pikmin 3'', depending on how much fruit the player obtains, as explained [[Pikmin 3#Endings|here]]. If they don't bring back enough fruit fast enough, they will run out of [[juice]] and the Koppaites will presumably starve to death. At this point, none of the endings have been confirmed or denied to be canon. It doesn't help that the Koppaites aren't mentioned once by Olimar in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It can still be assumed that one of the good endings are canonical, because if the Koppaites died, Olimar would still be trapped with the Plasm Wraith, and Louie with the Scornet Maestro. | There are four endings to ''Pikmin 3'', depending on how much fruit the player obtains, as explained [[Pikmin 3#Endings|here]].

Some undetermined time after the events of ''Pikmin 3'', Captain Olimar is flying through space on his new ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] (likely since the Hocotate ship was destroyed), and comes across a field of asteroids. He tries to dodge them, but fails and crash-lands on an [[Hey! Pikmin planet|unknown planet]] with Pikmin and old enemies returning in it, hinting that it just might be PNF-404 again. However, its geography is completely different than the confirmed PNF-404 in ''Pikmin 3''. The S.S. Dolphin II even calls it an "unknown planet"{{cite quote|They responded to your whistle!

To get his ship back in working condition, he has to recover some [[treasure]]s found throughout the land, so that the S.S. Dolphin II can extract their [[Sparklium]] to help power the rocket. For this, he makes his way through eight [[sector]]s worth of areas, as he re-discovers Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, and Winged Pikmin. (The [[S.S. Dolphin II]] recognizes the Pikmin types first discovered in ''Pikmin 3'', which is why ''Hey! Pikmin'' is known to come after it.{{cite quote|Ah! Those are Rock Pikmin.

Through some effort, him and the ship figure out that the piece lies in one final sector, [[The Final Stretch]]. There, he comes face to face with the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]], and using the help of some Pikmin, manages to kill the creature, expose the parasitic [[Leech Hydroe]], and recover the missing ship part. With the S.S. Dolphin II all set, Olimar gives the Pikmin one final goodbye, lifts off, and heads home safely. | ||
