As the name implies, it involves the shipwreck of [[Captain Olimar]], and his quest to recover the [[S.S Dolphin]]'s 30 ship parts.

The length of a day is shortened to 11 minutes from the main game's 15 minutes and there is a 15-day limit, forcing players to be efficient in gathering parts for the S.S. Dolphin. 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. | The length of a day is shortened to 11 minutes from the main game's 15 minutes and there is a 15-day limit, forcing players to be efficient in gathering parts for the S.S.

This crash landing caused him to lose the 30 [[ship part]]s across 4 [[areas]]. His life support system is only capable of keeping him alive for 15 more days. Luckily, he meets [[Red Pikmin]], a species who seems eager to help him find his missing ship parts. | ||
He first lands in an area he names the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]. With the help of the Pikmin, he collects enough parts to land in a new location: the [[Blossoming Arcadia]]. There, he meets a green dog who he names [[Moss]]. Feeding it a bone, Moss licks Olimar and joins him in collecting his ship parts. After collecting more parts, and finding two new types of Pikmin ([[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]]), Olimar can now land in an area he dubs the [[Serene Shores]]. | He first lands in an area he names the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]].

After collecting even more of his ship parts, the final area is opened: [[Hero's Hideaway]]. Olimar notes that this area is stranger than the others, but before he can contemplate much, the Pikmin leave their Onion by themselves and hide throughout the area. Olimar rounds them up and defeats a [[Porquillion]] that has his [[Interstellar Radio]], which he uses to call for help (as was shown in the main story's opening and initial tutorial). He discovers a [[Gildemander]] as the source of the Pikmin's strange behavior, and defeats it as well. | After collecting even more of his ship parts, the final area is opened: [[Hero's Hideaway]].

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. | If Olimar collects all 30 of his ship parts, the S.S. Dolphin successfully launches, and he leaves the planet.

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 is not, Olimar will offer to teach the skill the first time he is talked to after Super Buff is maxed. | To unlock this mode, the player must first rescue Olimar in the main campaign by completing [[Leafy Showdown]] (and the three other [[Dandori Battle]] stages before it).
