The average ending is when the time runs out, but Olimar manages to escape with the ship parts he collected. Out of the 30 parts, only 25 specific ones are necessary for the captain to return to Hocotate. The five optional parts are the [[Nova Blaster]], the [[Space Float]], the [[Massage Machine]], the [[UV Lamp]] and the [[Secret Safe]]. With this ending, at the night of the final day, Captain Olimar walks towards the Dolphin and takes a quick glance back before entering the cockpit of his ship and attempting to blast off. He successfully flies off while three Pikmin (one red, one yellow, and one blue) look up into the sky with curiosity.

The bad ending takes place when Olimar does not manage to retrieve the 25 mandatory parts. On his last day, he realizes that time is up and attempts to lift off. Immediately after taking off, the [[Main Engine|engine]] explodes and his ship crashes back onto the planet. The Pikmin [[carry]] his unconscious body to an Onion, making Olimar pop out as a [[Olimar as Pikmin|Pikmin-like creature]], having his normal head, but the sprout of a Pikmin with a black stem, and without his [[spacesuit]] helmet.

It is known that the best ending is the canon one, seeing as in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Olimar has brought a souvenir home for his son, and the best ending is the only one where he would have time to pick one up. In addition, it's revealed that Olimar's wife eventually finds the [[Secret Safe]] during his absence, and that ship part can only be retrieved after all other 29 were. Naturally, the worst ending is not canon, as Olimar is known to return safely to Hocotate at the start of the second game.

The only possible time that the bad ending would continue the story is to cause the events of Pikmin 4 to occur but even so there are ways to prove that this isn't possible.
