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 a [[PNF-404|nearby planet]]. 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 | 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.

When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]], he finds that [[Hocotate Freight|his company]] had to take out a loan to repay the loss of a cargo of [[pikpik carrot|golden Pikpik brand carrots]]. [[Louie]] reported that a ravenous space bunny ate the shipment, but they were actually eaten by Louie himself, as he couldn't suppress his powerful hunger. [[The President]] explains their situation to Olimar, and Olimar learns that the S.S. Dolphin was sold to help repay the loan. The remaining loan is revealed to be 10,100 [[Poko]]s and, in shock, Olimar accidentally dropped a bottle cap, which he had kept as a souvenir for his son. As the bottle cap rolled into Louie, the [[Hocotate ship]] was able to suck it up. It analyzed the piece of treasure to be worth 100 Pokos, which lowered the remaining loan to 10,000 Pokos. As a result, the President sends Olimar and Louie back to the planet to collect more treasure in hopes of paying off their debt. | When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]], he finds that [[Hocotate Freight|his company]] had to take out a loan to repay the loss of a cargo of [[pikpik carrot|golden Pikpik brand carrots]].

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]].

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]], 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. | Some time after this, the planet of [[Koppai]] are in the midst of a planet-wide food crisis.
