Red Pikmin: Difference between revisions

In ''Pikmin'', Red Pikmin are the first type of Pikmin ever discovered by [[Captain Olimar]]. They are discovered in [[The Impact Site]], along with their Onion, just a short walk away from the landing site. When the dormant Onion wakes up and ejects a seed, and [[Olimar]] plucks the seed, it marks the first time Olimar ever sees a Pikmin. Here, at least 20 Red Pikmin must be grown in order to carry back the [[Main Engine]], so that Olimar can exit the planet's surface during the night. However, it's possible to grow up to 25 Red Pikmin on the first day.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet. There are 5 Pikmin fighting a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] right next to where Olimar lands. Whistling them gives Olimar control over them, which he uses to defeat the enemy. After this, once [[Louie]] has regained consciousness, he walks a short distance and finds the Red Onion. From there, Louie builds up the population in order to crush a [[paper bag]] separating him from Olimar, and from then on, the leaders are united.

In ''Pikmin 3'', the story begins with [[Charlie]] discovering [[Yellow Pikmin]] and ending up captured by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. After this prologue, [[Alph]] wakes up in a small puddle at the [[Tropical Wilds]]. He walks a short distance before seeing a Red Pikmin, which surprises both of them. After walking a bit more, he finds three wild Red Pikmin trying to free their Onion from a branch. Alph [[throw]]s the Pikmin at it and succeeds in freeing it. He then proceeds to grow his army up to 20 (21 if the one sitting on the pot is obtained), so that he can push the [[cardboard box]] and get back to the [[S.S. Drake]], as well as try to rescue [[Brittany]]. Although Yellow Pikmin are seen first, Red Pikmin are the first type to have their Onion discovered, and thus, formally introduced.

In ''Hey! Pikmin'', after Captain Olimar crash-lands on the planet, he explores the area he lands in until he stumbles upon a lone Red Pikmin. After he and the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]'s pod stare at it for a bit, it runs away. After moving forward some more, Olimar and his ship find the Pikmin's hiding spot, a bush. After using the [[whistle]] here, the Pikmin that was hiding behind, along with three others, pop out of the bush and join him. These Pikmin are used shortly after to collect some [[Sparklium Seed]]s that are out of reach. Eventually, Olimar finishes exploring this starting area, and leaves the Pikmin he found behind. The adventure proper then starts, with the area [[First Expedition]], where he once again meets the Red Pikmin, again, hiding behind a bush. This time, and from here on out, he takes any Red Pikmin he finds and salvages at the end of the area with him, and leaves them in the [[Pikmin Park]].
