'''''Pikmin''''' is the first game in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], released in 2001 as one of the first games available for the [[GameCube]]. The game is the first in the series chronologically, and sees [[Captain Olimar]] crash-landing on an [[PNF-404|unknown planet]] and collecting his missing [[ship part]]s in order to escape. The game introduces the main game mechanics of growing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], controlling the Pikmin as a group, taking down [[obstacle]]s, [[carrying]] objects, and battling [[Enemy|enemies]]. The game has been ported to the [[Wii]] under the title {{npcp1}}, and ported to the [[Nintendo Switch]] under the title [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|''Pikmin 1'']]. Its sequel, {{p2}}, was released in 2004, three years later.

{{spoiler}}
An exhausted pilot [[Captain Olimar]], who is seeking rest from his everyday labor as a worker for [[Hocotate Freight]], flies his spacecraft, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], into outer space as an interstellar vacation. Suddenly, a meteor hurdles toward his direction and hits the Dolphin, resulting in the ship plummeting toward an {{w|Earth}}-like [[PNF-404|planet]]. During the fall, the Dolphin ignites, and its [[Ship part|parts]] are released from the hull and scattered across the planet.
[[Captain Olimar]], a pilot, flies his spacecraft, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], through space.

During the fall, the Dolphin ignites, and its [[Ship part|parts]] are released from the hull and scattered across the planet.


The next morning, Olimar regains consciousness on [[The Impact Site]] and turns around to find the hull of the Dolphin badly damaged, and lacking all of its parts. He notes that the oxygen on the planet, a harmful chemical element that inhabits it, is deadly to his body, and that his life-support systems can only function for 30 days. Upon realizing this, he decides to locate the missing parts of the Dolphin, hoping he can rebuild his ship and return to his home planet of [[Hocotate]].
The next morning, Olimar regains consciousness on [[The Impact Site]] and turns around to find the Dolphin badly damaged. Realizing that the oxygen on the planet is deadly to his body and his life-support systems only have enough power to last 30 days, Olimar sets out to locate the missing parts of the Dolphin, hoping he can rebuild his ship and return to his home planet of [[Hocotate]].


After exploring a bit, Olimar finds a dormant [[Onion]]. Upon approaching it, it springs to life, and out comes a seed. Upon [[pluck]]ing it and experimenting with the creature by [[throw]]ing it, [[dismiss]]ing it, etc., he learns about the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and their abilities. With the help of the [[Red Pikmin]] he raises, Olimar recovers the [[Main Engine]], which allows him to at least hover above the surface during the night, which he later learns is too dangerous.

Blue Pikmin are the third and last kind of Pikmin found in the game. They are located in [[The Forest Navel]]. Blue Pikmin are the only species of Pikmin that can move around in bodies of water, thanks to their gills. When non-blue Pikmin fall in the water, blue Pikmin will run to them and [[throw]] them out of the water, saving their lives.

During development of the [[GameCube]], a tech demo was created that showed off multiple [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]s, under the title ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 128|Super Mario 128]]''. This demo demonstrated the console's ability to have several dozens of individual objects on-screen at once. This concept was later recycled and lead to the creation of ''Pikmin''.
