Hey! Pikmin: Difference between revisions

The prologue starts with Captain Olimar flying on the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] until he comes across a shower of asteroids. He tries to dodge them, but ends up getting hit, and the ship plummets into an alien planet, landing near a group of terrified Pikmin.

After this, Captain Olimar wakes up from the crash landing as the ship's pod assesses his and the ship's situation. After doing so, it concludes that the ship's fuel – the [[Sparklium]] supply – is completely empty. The pod picks up Sparklium signals and sends the captain onward, where the two stumble upon a wild Red Pikmin. After it being scared off, and the two continue going forward, Captain Olimar uses his [[whistle]] to bring out the Pikmin hiding in the weeds, only to realize there are actually four of them hiding, not just one. Moving forward a bit, the group discovers some Sparklium Seeds. It is at this point that the pod confirms that each seed contains one Sparklium, but Olimar needs 30 thousand to be able to escape. After the ship reassures the demoralized captain, everyone moves further onward, find some more seeds, and the tutorial level is completed.

Throughout the rest of the adventure, Olimar explores different [[area]]s, one at a time, gathering Sparklium Seeds and [[treasure]]s along the way. There are two primary goals: the first is obtaining 30,000 Sparklium in order to fully power the ship again. The second is searching for a missing key component of the S.S. Dolphin II, which is needed in order to return home. This final piece can be obtained from the final sector, [[The Final Stretch]].

In order to get home, Captain Olimar needs to find {{sparklium|30,000}} and the [[Sparklium Converter]]. The ship does not know where the Sparklium Converter is, so the player needs to play through all eight main [[sector]]s, gathering Sparklium along the way. Once all eight sectors are finished and the Sparklium count reaches 30,000, the ship detects the Sparklium Converter in a new sector, [[The Final Stretch]]. Here, he battles against the fearsome [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]], and after winning the fight, it is revealed that the [[Leech Hydroe]] that had taken control of the monster is holding the Sparklium Converter. After its defeat, the creature drops the ship part and then scurries away. The captain recovers the ship part, and prepares to go home.
