 [[Captain Olimar]] decides that he has been overworking himself at his job at Hocotate Freight and that he needs to go on a vacation. With no destination in mind, he lets his ship, the S.S. Dolphin, make its own way through space. He switches his ship to autopilot and gets up to make a cup of tea, when suddenly his ship malfunctions and hits a meteor. Captain Olimar was then thrown against the control panel and blacked out, while his ship crash-lands on a nearby uncharted planet. He wakes up to discover that he lost thirty parts of his ship. He also discovers that he has only thirty days of remaining battery power in his life support systems, and without it he will die due to oxygen being present on the planet, which is an element that is extremely lethal to Hocotatians. After exploring the [[The Impact Site|area]], Olimar finds a dormant [[Onion]]. When Olimar approaches the Onion, it seems to awaken, and spits out a seed. Olimar plucks the seed, discovers [[Red Pikmin]], and utilizes their abilities to get back the [[Main Engine]], which allows him to pilot the S.S. Dolphin once again. During his expedition on the planet, Olimar comes across [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], in that order. After defeating the [[Emperor Bulblax]] and obtaining his last ship part, the [[Secret Safe]], he manages to fully repair his ship. Captain Olimar grabs a "[[Shizakipiki Soda|shiny alien platter]]" as a souvenir for his kids, before blasting off back to [[Hocotate]].
-''Pikmin 4'' suggests an alternate interpretation of these events. The overview of the incident is largely the same; Olimar is overworked and goes on a lone vacation, the S.S. Dolphin gets hit by a meteor and crashes on an uncharted planet, meets the red, yellow, and blue Pikmin in that order, and has a limited number of days to collect all 30 parts of his ship; even including fighting an Emperor Bulblax to obtain the Secret Safe. The difference, however, is that Olimar lands on a different part of the planet to where he crashes in ''Pikmin 1''; resulting in his meeting with a part-plant part-dog creature whom he names [[Moss]]. Once he sets off to escape the planet, Moss stows away inside the S.S. Dolphin, resulting in her coming down with an extreme sickness due to a strange connection she has with the planet. The ensuing struggle coincides with Olimar's life-support system finally giving out, crashing Olimar back on the planet in a similar instance to the "Bad ending" of ''Pikmin 1''. In an act that ultimately revives him, Olimar is brought to the Onion by Moss and his own Pikmin, and is transformed into a [[leafling]]; after which he is brainwashed with the teachings of [[Dandori]] and has his ID scrambled and replaced with a simple [http://HTTP%20404 Error 404 Page not Found] message.

 Before his takeoff and ensuing crash, Olimar was able to release a distress signal including his notes about the planet across the universe, resulting in the [[Rescue Corps]] flying to the planet to make contact. This also, however, results in many other unrelated parties attempting to land on the planet for their own motives. Every single one of them fails; all crash-landing. [[Pikmin 4 player character|One particular member of the Rescue Corps]] is eventually able to make a successful landing, and sets to work saving the other Rescue Corps members, the many castaways (including those who have been transformed into Leaflings), and Olimar himself.
