Olimar found that the Pikmin followed him loyally, which he guessed was because he plucked each one from the ground. Olimar's leadership skills and the Pikmin's ability to fight enemies, destroy obstacles, and carry ship parts combined to allow Olimar to find each of the various parts of the Dolphin while the Pikmin species flourished. While looking for parts, Olimar discoved other areas, including the [[Forest of Hope]], the [[Forest Navel]], the [[Distant Spring]], and the [[Final Trial]]. He also discovered two more Pikmin species, the bomb-carrying [[Yellow Pikmin]] and aquatic [[Blue Pikmin]]. Luckily for Olimar, he was able to find the Dolphin's thirty parts to attach to the dolphin's remains with time left to spare. Before he left, he took a bottle cap from the planet as a souvenir. By the time Olimar left, the Pikmin had learned to work together by themselves, and it seemed as though they would remain the dominant species without his assistance. | Olimar found that the Pikmin followed him loyally, which he guessed was because he plucked each one from the ground.

If Olimar fails to get twenty five mandatory parts by day 30, he will suffer a poisoning from the oxygen. He will try to fly off, but the Dolphin will crash. His Pikmin will then bring his body to an Onion, which now turns him into a seed that grows to have Olimar's head, along with a stem and leaf. If Olimar gets the 25 necessary parts for flight but does not collect all 30, he will successfully fly away from the planet, but he will not have time to search for souvenirs.

After Olimar's success at the | After Olimar's success at the Distant Planet, he was able to blast off the planet to return to Hocotate, see his family and return to his normal life. Deciding to land at Hocotate Freight, he met up with the [[President of Hocotate Freight]] and a local employee named Louie. After landing the Dolphin, he learned that the company was in debt, having to pay an amount equal to 10,100 [[Poko]]s and the unkown price of Olimar's prized ship, the S.S. Dolphin. This was to pay for the loss of a [[Golden Pikpik Carrot]] shipment (which was actually caused, not by "Space Bunnies" as Louie claimed, but by Louie himself). Learning that the Dolphin was sold to pay for some of the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped a souvenir he found on the Distant Planet for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an old ship commonly referred to as "T[[the Ship|he Ship]]" was able to use its [[Research Pod]] to suck up the rusty bottle cap. The Pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth 100 Pokos, which lowered the remaining debt to 10,000 Pokos. The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Pikmin Planet and collect more [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]]. | ||

Luckily for Olimar, he found a group of [[Red Pikmin]] fighting a lone [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. He was able to unite with Louie by using the Pikmin to penetrate the [[Paper Bag|barriers]]. Louie had discovered a treasure that was a large double AA Duracell battery, dubbed the [[Courage Reactor]] and started their treasure seeking adventure. Later they discovered a series of [[Cave]]rns deep underground, which housed many treasures and even some new [[Purple Pikmin]]. As they were able to make movements in [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]], the debt lowered to a small amount. In the end, Olimar and Louie were able to pay the debt. Olimar blasted off the planet, but noticed that he somehow left Louie behind, but at too late a time to go back and rescue Louie immediately. | ||
