'''Olimar's Shipwreck Tale''' is a game mode in {{p4}}. As the name implies, it involves the shipwreck of [[Captain Olimar]], and his quest to recover the [[S.S Dolphin]]'s 30 ship parts. It features altered versions of the first four [[area]]s of the main campaign, no caves and only [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], and [[Blue Pikmin]].

The length of a day is greatly shortened relative to the main game and there is a 15-day limit, forcing players to be efficient in gathering parts for the S.S. Dolphin. Items, gear, and skills for [[Moss]] are acquired automatically as parts and [[Raw material]] are collected.

At the end of each day, Olimar holds a short monologue and an item, a piece of gear, or a skill for [[Moss]] is acquired for each ship part recovered during that day.


Upon completion, a new cave is revealed in the [[Rescue Command Post]]: the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]].

If Olimar collects all 30 of his ship parts, the S.S. Dolphin successfully launches, and he leaves the planet. However, he notices Moss had snuck aboard the S.S. Dolphin with him. She seems distressed for reasons unknown to Olimar, who chooses to turn back around and try to help her. As he does, his life support systems fail mid-flight and he crashes again.

Either way, the Pikmin and Moss carry Olimar to the Onion, which sucks him up and spits him back out as a [[leafling]]. From here, [[Pikmin 4#Plot|''Pikmin 4's'' main story]] begins.

To unlock this mode, the player must first rescue Olimar by completing [[Leafy Showdown]] (and the three other [[Dandori Battle]] stages before it). After the credits, return to the [[Rescue Command Post]] and talk to Olimar, who is next to the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. He will also award the player with Oatchi's Swallow ability for saving him, if Oatchi's Super Buff is maxed out. If it isn't, Olimar will offer to teach the skill the first time he is talked to after Super Buff is maxed.

* On the last 3 days of Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, Olimar will make a comment each time he lands at the beginning of the day. The "Days Left" text during each countdown and on the clock in gameplay will be yellow for 3 or 2 days remaining and then turn red on the final day remaining. An ominous sound effect will also play when counting down to these days, with the final day having the deepest sound.

* Although the Ionium Jets are considered duplicate items, they appear on set sides of the ship when collected. The one in Sun-Speckled Terrace appears on the starboard side, and the one in Blossoming Arcadia is on the port side. If this parallels ''Pikmin'', the Jet from the Sun-Speckled Terrace is the #1 Ionium Jet. Functionally, this does not matter, as both Ionium Jets are the same weight, and gathering ship parts does not change anything but the number of areas available.

* When the unconscious Olimar is being carried to the Onion in both endings, a remaster of ''[[Music in Pikmin#Live As A Pikmin|Live as a Pikmin]]'' from the first game can be heard.
