'''Koppai''' is the home planet of Alph, Brittany, and Charlie, the [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. | |||
The growing population of Koppai lusts heavily for eatables, and sub-par planning of the production necessary to sustain such a lifestyle eventually leads to a food shortage. The premise of ''Pikmin 3'' revolves around the fact that the aforementioned leaders are sent out on a mission to retrieve food that can be found on [[PNF-404]]. The seeds of any aliment found on PNF-404 will be sent back to Koppai, in order to cultivate it there and stop the shortage. | |||
Koppai and | Koppai is 279,000 light-years away from PNF-404, and has only a third of PNF-404's oxygen percentage. Accordingly, if PNF-404 is assumed to be Earth, Koppai would have an atmosphere that consists of roughly 7% oxygen. Brittany hypothesizes that the higher oxygen ratio is what allows the life-forms of the Pikmin Planet to grow to such, comparatively, large sizes. It is assumed that the giant insects that lived in the [[wikipedia:Permian|Permian]] only grew to their size due to the greater amounts of oxygen in the air during that time, which would support her theory. | ||
A data file left by [[Olimar]] and later found by the leaders mentions [[Hocotate]]. Whichever leader is active at the moment the file is retrieved will then recall that Hocotate is a planet a few solar systems away from Koppai with a population that is interested in monetary gains rather than food. Olimar is simply referred to as a man that must love his family very much or has a lot of time to kill. While a vague description, the idea that the people of Hocotate and Koppai are unfamiliar with each other or even different species entirely seems unlikely. Given the leaders' equipment in-game, it seems that oxygen is as poisonous to them as it is to the Hocotatians, which, apart from the obvious physical similarities between the two peoples, shows a further common feature. | |||
