Some aspects in the games are not canon whatsoever. They belong to the game, but are considered to "not have happened" in the ''Pikmin'' universe. | Some aspects in the games are not canon whatsoever.

The [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] feature games that are considered non-canon for the franchises that take place in them. This is clear due to the fact that, naturally, ''Pikmin'' does not share a universe with the likes of ''Mario'' or ''The Legend of Zelda''. ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'', despite being directly related to the ''Pikmin'' franchise, is not canon. It does not, in any way, relate to [[PNF-404]] or the actual [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], but rather, it is a mini-game in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', themed around the ''Pikmin'' franchise. | The [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] feature games that are considered non-canon for the franchises that take place in them.

Activities that happen on an alternative game mode in a ''Pikmin'' game are not considered canon. Said game modes were created for the purpose of entertaining the player, and for the most part, they do not follow the main Story Mode's canon. For instance, it is canon that Captain Olimar landed on [[PNF-404]] and had to gather his missing [[ship part]]s, not that he chose to begin a [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|challenge]] where he had to cultivate the most Pikmin possible in one day. | Activities that happen on an alternative game mode in a ''Pikmin'' game are not considered canon.

While on an interstellar vacation, [[Captain Olimar]] switches his ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], to autopilot and stands up from the control seat 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 discovers that 30 of the Dolphin's ship parts were scattered around the planet. Olimar's space [[suit]]'s sensors then indicate that the atmosphere of the planet contains oxygen, which is extremely poisonous to Hocotatians. Fortunately, the 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, discovers [[Red Pikmin]], and 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]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], in that order. He finally manages to retrieve all of his missing ship parts, and grabs a "shiny alien platter" as a souvenir for his kid, before blasting off back to [[Hocotate]]. | While on an interstellar vacation, [[Captain Olimar]] switches his ship, the [[S.S.
