Canon: Difference between revisions

For instance, it is no truer that "Captain Olimar first recovered the [[UV Lamp]] and then the [[Massage Machine]]" as it is the other way around. For this, common sense dictates that varying truths are not accounted for in the lore. Following the previous example, it is canon that Captain Olimar recovered his [[ship part]]s, but their order of collection is not confirmed. There are times where such events are confirmed in a different game, however, normally in the form of a [[leader]] outright saying it (e.g. in [[Olimar's notes|his notes]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''). Naturally, this does not change what a player might have actually done in their playthrough, but it does define the "standard", canon-wise. These include Olimar and Louie collecting the Paradoxical Enigma, Superstrong Stabilizer, and the Sunseed Berry before they pay off the debt. Many other treasures, such as the Cosmic Archive or Prototype Detector, are also collected before the debt is repayed due to the debt not being repayed or Louie still being around. It is also canonical that Olimar and Louie finished paying off the debt in the Perplexing Pool, as it is the only area that resembles their location in the Debt Repayment Cinema.
