The planet that [[Olimar]] lands on, in both ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', is the natural habitat of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] as well as many other lifeforms, many of them predators of the Pikmin. The planet is known as the '''Planet of the Pikmin''' or the '''Pikmin planet''' in both games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' it is known as '''Distant Planet'''. | The planet that [[Olimar]] lands on, in both ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', is the natural habitat of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] as well as many other lifeforms, many of them predators of the Pikmin.

In ''[[Pikmin (game)|the first Pikmin game]]'' Olimar crash lands on this uncharted planet during his vacation after ''[[S.S. Dolphin|his ship]]'' is struck by a asteroid, Olimar must escape the planet before his life support system fails because the atmosphere is composed largely of oxygen which is toxic to Olimar's people. | In ''[[Pikmin (game)|the first Pikmin game]]'' Olimar crash lands on this uncharted planet during his vacation after ''[[S.S.

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' Olimar returns to the planet with his new companion, [[Louie]], in search of treasure, in order to rescue the company he works for, [[Hocotate Freight]], from bankruptcy. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' Olimar returns to the planet with his new companion, [[Louie]], in search of treasure, in order to rescue the company he works for, [[Hocotate Freight]], from bankruptcy. | ||

During the second game, this statement is supported: when Olimar lands on or leaves the planet his ship is shown to be heading towards or coming from Africa. Most of the planet's geography has been shown to match Earth's, the Ship even stating at the time of the discovery of the [[Spherical Atlas]] that it exhibits the planet's geography as seen from space: both this and the [[Geographic Projection]] are two halves to a globe that clearly shows Earth and its countries. | During the second game, this statement is supported: when Olimar lands on or leaves the planet his ship is shown to be heading towards or coming from Africa.

Also in the ''first game'', cardboard boxes scattered across the areas with 10s on them indicate that humans were living or had lived at that time. However, the proportion of these objects compared to Olimar's size in the instruction manual make this a bit unjustified, as the cardboard box would be the size of a matchbox at most. Furthermore, there are many different creatures to what we know at the present day. Perhaps this is an entirely new age where humans have died out and many other creatures have come to exist peacefully. Another interesting fact is that [[Red Bulborb|Bulborbs]] could possibly be evolved ladybugs. | Also in the ''first game'', cardboard boxes scattered across the areas with 10s on them indicate that humans were living or had lived at that time.

The Pikmin Planet could also be Earth because in the first game Olimar stated that the atmosphere is covered in oxygen, the main component of the air that humans breathe, but also an extremely toxic gas to the people of Hocotate. | ||
Analysis of data in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has yielded the information that the Distant Planet stage is also referred to by the name ''Earth''. This is deemed comparable to a debug name, only used in programming the game, but it makes clear that Nintendo designers see the planet as Earth. You could call this the Distant Planet. | Analysis of data in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has yielded the information that the Distant Planet stage is also referred to by the name ''Earth''.
