As Olimar and Louie were heading to the [[Valley of Repose]], the ship collided with a tree branch, and the resulting impact jolted Louie out of the cockpit, leaving Olimar to search for him. Luckily for Olimar, he found a group of [[Red Pikmin]] fighting a lone [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. He was able to unite with Louie by using the Pikmin to squash the [[Paper bag|barriers]]. Before, Louie had discovered a treasure, and with the help of Olimar, they were able to forage it. They then discovered a series of [[cave]]s, [[area]]s, and new [[Pikmin family|Pikmin types]].

Due to the President's excessive spending as well as the failure of a new business venture, Olimar is sent back to [[PNF-404]] with Louie in search of even more treasure to repay Hocotate Freight's newly acquired second debt, with Olimar also intending to buy back the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. While they explore the planet, Olimar finds the Koppaites' [[cosmic drive key]] and takes it with him.

In {{p4}}, Olimar becomes stranded on PNF-404. While meeting with the Pikmin and recovering the parts of his ship, he befriends a space dog named [[Moss]], who helps him in his search. When Olimar recovers the [[Interstellar Radio]] with the help of Moss and the Pikmin, he uses it to send a distress signal. While he is ultimately successful in collecting all the parts of the S.S. Dolphin with their help, Olimar discovers that Moss had stowed away in the ship's cargo hold and is rapidly sickening. Realizing that she could not survive away from PNF-404, he tries to return to the planet to save her but crash-lands again. His life support system fails, and the Pikmin take him to an Onion, transforming him into a [[Leafling]] with little memory of who he is.

When he wakes up as a Leafling, Olimar finds a [[Trial of the Sage Leaf|mysterious cave]] at what is later known as the [[Rescue Command Post]]. It is unknown if he entered it. Olimar's behavior as a Leafling includes taking [[Castaway|Castaways]] and turning them into Leaflings.

One month later, the signal is intercepted by the [[Rescue Corps]], who set off to retrieve him before becoming in need of rescue themselves, leaving [[Pikmin 4 player character|their newest recruit]] to rescue both Olimar and the castaway members of the Rescue Corps. During the mission, the recruit encounters Olimar in his leafling form on several occasions, and Olimar does several [[Dandori Battle]]s with the recruit.

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

Dolphin II, the Sparklium Converter, which is needed to return home. This final piece can be obtained from the last sector, The Final Stretch.


In order to get home, Captain Olimar needs to find 30,000 pokos and the Sparklium Converter. The ship does not know where the Sparklium Converter is, so the player needs to play through all eight main sectors, 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.

As the ship is setting everything up for the ride, Olimar goes outside to meet the Pikmin for one final time. As he and a group of different Pikmin are frolicking around, the ship's pod calls him over, and he sorrowfully walks away from the Pikmin. At first, they follow him, but after they realize what is happening, they stop and stare at Olimar as he is getting beamed up into the ship's pod. As the ship takes off, the Pikmin all get inside the nearby Onion. The two blast off into space, but the Onion can only follow the ship up so far until it stays behind. The ship keeps going, eventually activates the warp, and disappears.

This ending is not considered [[canon]] with the rest of the series as in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' he is seen proceeding to land on [[Hocotate]] in his [[S.S. Dolphin|ship]] and so must have obtained at least the 25 mandatory [[ship part]]s. Olimar in this form is only ever seen buried, so the rest of his appearance is unknown. It should also be noted that the model used in the in-game cutscene only contains a head.

Why the Onion transforms him instead of turning him into true Pikmin seeds is unknown. However, it is worth noting that the Pikmin silently watch as he is spat out and cheer as he begins to grow, indicating that they expected the transformation to occur. In-game, when Pikmin [[Lie down|carry Olimar]] to their Onion, he is not affected in any way and merely bounces off the alien mother-ship. As such, the process may be controlled by the Pikmin themselves. A similar process occurs in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' when Olimar is turned into a [[Leafling]], and even occurs in very similar if not identical circumstances.
