In this film, a Red Pikmin finds a [[wikipedia:Ramune|Ramune bottle]] and attempts to retrieve the marble inside.

==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
The movie begins with a leaf [[Red Pikmin]] chasing a [[wikipedia:Pieris rapae|white cabbage butterfly]] (with extra tufts of white hair on its antennae). The Pikmin tries to jump up to catch it, but fails and flops on the ground. It tries again, this time with a somersault jump akin to the way Pikmin are [[throw]]n by [[leader]]s. It knocks the butterfly, making it emit some golden sparkles, but the Pikmin ends up falling on its face once more. With its nose-like facial feature seemingly broken, the Pikmin takes a look at it, straightens it, and chases after the butterfly again.

As the Pikmin runs forward, it passes by a tilted [[wikipedia:Ramune|Ramune bottle]]. The Pikmin stops, heads back, and examines its reflection on the glass. It poses two times, until it becomes distracted with the butterfly, which flies up into the sky, bringing the Pikmin's attention to the entire bottle, and eventually the marble within.

Shocked by the marble, the Pikmin looks around for ways to reach it, and begins climbing on the bottles and cans that the main bottle is tipped over. Reaching a dead end, it looks around, and finds that a nearby grass stalk could be used to jump onto the top of the bottle. The blade of grass it chooses to cross proves to be just shy out of reach, resulting in the stretching Pikmin to fall off and land on a bottle below. Angered, the Pikmin tries again, this time choosing a taller blade of grass from the same stem. As it approaches the end, its weight causes it to fall off, although the Pikmin manages to grab on and gently drop on the bottle's top.
