While on an interstellar vacation, [[Captain Olimar]] puts the [[S.S. Dolphin]] on autopilot and stands up from the control panel to make a cup of tea. He fails to notice a meteor, which hits the S.S. Dolphin and sends it plummeting to the surface of [[PNF-404]]. During the chaos, Olimar was thrown against the control panel, and blacked out. He awakens on the surface of the planet, and Captain Olimar discovers that 30 of the Dolphin's ship parts were scattered around the planet. Fortunately, his life-support system built into his suit was unharmed, but the remaining battery power would only last him for 30 days. After exploring the [[The Impact Site|area]], Olimar finds a dormant [[Onion]]. When Olimar approaches the Onion, it seems to awaken, and spits out a seed. Olimar plucks the seed, and he discovers the [[Pikmin]], specifically [[Red Pikmin]]. He utilizes their abilities to get back the [[Main Engine]], which allows him to pilot the S.S. Dolphin once again. During his expedition on the planet, Olimar comes across [[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 on an interstellar vacation, [[Captain Olimar]] puts the [[S.S.

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 [[Minor characters#Olimar's son|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 monologs|a monolog]] 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. The ship's appearance in ''Pikmin 2'' also supports this, as the antenna on the top of the Dolphin isn't bent and the lights on the sides are purple, which is only possible if Olimar collected the Secret Safe. | 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 [[Minor characters#Olimar's son|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 monologs|a monolog]] 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.

While landing, they fly through a small blizzard in the [[Valley of Repose]], and try to maneuver through some tree branches. Unfortunately, Olimar hits one of the branches, which knocks Louie out of his cockpit, into the snow below. The Hocotate ship barely manages land, and ejects Olimar out of his cockpit. He gets up and rediscovers Red Pikmin. After awhile, the duo are able to reunite and salvage a [[Courage Reactor|piece of treasure]]. During their search for treasure the following days, Olimar and crew discover [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]], and rediscover [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], in that order. Eventually, they collect enough treasure to repay the debt and return to Hocotate, but during the trip back to Hocotate, Louie gets left behind. Olimar returns with [[the President]], and they recover Louie from the [[Titan Dweevil]]. After collecting the rest of the treasure on the planet, Olimar, Louie, the Hocotate ship, and the President finally go back to Planet Hocotate. | While landing, they fly through a small blizzard in the [[Valley of Repose]], and try to maneuver through some tree branches.

Some time after this, the planet of [[Koppai]] are in the midst of a planet-wide food crisis. They decide to send unmanned scout vessels, called [[SPERO]]s, out into space to search for planets that contain edible matter. The final SPERO returns with data indicating that one planet has "unlimited food resources". Koppai names the mysterious planet "PNF-404", and proceed to send three explorers to PNF-404 in search of food. Unknown to them however, Olimar and Louie also return to the planet to collect more treasure, as [[Hocotate Freight]]'s new business venture failed miserably and the company has fallen into debt once again. Olimar and Louie start their search for treasure in [[Flower Garden]]. The next day they go to [[Inside Forest]], but at the same time, the Koppaites' ship, the [[S.S. Drake]], mysteriously fails, ejecting the Koppaites into different [[area]]s. [[Captain Charlie]] wakes up in 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 in the [[Tropical Wilds]], | Some time after this, the planet of [[Koppai]] are in the midst of a planet-wide food crisis.

[[Alph]] then wakes up to find himself in the [[Tropical Wilds]], encounters [[Red Pikmin]], and reunites with the Drake. He then learns that they cannot return to their home planet without the [[cosmic-drive key]], which went missing when the S.S. Drake crash-landed on PNF-404. On the same day, during the start of Olimar and Louie's expedition in Inside Forest, they come across the cosmic drive key, which Olimar takes as a souvenir for his son. | ||
Olimar and Louie head to [[River]], and Olimar realizes that a number of his [[Data file|logs and notes]] have gone missing. Olimar also buries the [[Scorch Guard]] here, along with [[Area Hints (Exploration Notes)#To future visitors|a log]], as he states that he doesn't need it anymore. Meanwhile, Alph makes his way to the [[Garden of Hope]], where he gets [[Rock Pikmin]] and reunites with [[Brittany]]. Before they begin their expedition in [[Tundra]], 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". After defeating the [[Armored Mawdad]], the Koppaites make their way to the [[Distant Tundra]], Brittany gets knocked off the ship and lands in a cave where she discovers [[Yellow Pikmin]]. (Although it is possible to achieve in-game, the Koppaites did not go to the Distant Tundra on day 3, as they would've seen the Hocotatians, which obviously didn't happen.) Olimar and Louie finally collect enough treasure to repay the second debt, but Olimar picks up a reading of a [[Plasm Wraith|golden object]] in the [[Formidable Oak|Oak]]. He ignores Louie's warnings about the area, and they go to the Oak the next day. Louie runs away and Olimar gets captured by the Plasm Wraith, leaving behind [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)#Journal Entry|his 6th journal entry]]. The Plasm Wraith repeatedly knocks him unconscious, since his [[spacesuit]] puts him in forced-sleep. He still manages to write his last three logs during this time. During his escape, Louie is somehow ejected into [[Twilight River]] while the ship itself crash-lands in the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]' arena, losing several of its [[Ship part|parts]] in the process. | Olimar and Louie head to [[River]], and Olimar realizes that a number of his [[Data file|logs and notes]] have gone missing.

Meanwhile, Alph and Brittany reunite once more in the Distant Tundra, take down the Vehemoth Phosbat, and rescue Charlie. They then head off to Twilight River to pursue a signal they received, and in there, they find [[Winged Pikmin]]. They manage to rescue Louie, who was captured by the [[Scornet Maestro]], only to have him land the Drake at the [[Garden of Hope]] and steal all their juice and Charlie's rubber ducky the very next day. The trio chases the thief, and along the way, find [[Blue Pikmin]] through a path that Louie managed to open with unknown explosives. Meanwhile, Louie starts recording [[Secret Files#Louie's log|his log]] but is attacked by the [[Quaggled Mireclops]], and the creature presumably crushed the Hocotate ship into the ground at that moment. The trio eventually discover 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 Olimar, and the explorers set out to rescue him at 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. | Meanwhile, Alph and Brittany reunite once more in the Distant Tundra, take down the Vehemoth Phosbat, and rescue Charlie.

There are four endings to ''Pikmin 3'' (and a game over state), depending on how much fruit the player obtains and if they ran out of juice or not, as explained [[Pikmin 3#Endings|here]]. At this point, none of the endings have been confirmed or denied to be canon, but due to Louie not being left behind on the planet in [[Olimar's Comeback]], it can be assumed that the Koppaites did not collect all 66 fruits. The Koppaites couldn't have starved to death either, because if they did, the events in Olimar's Comeback couldn't occur. | There are four endings to ''Pikmin 3'' (and a game over state), depending on how much fruit the player obtains and if they ran out of juice or not, as explained [[Pikmin 3#Endings|here]].
