'''''Pikmin''''' | '''''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. | ||

[[Captain Olimar]], a pilot, flies his spacecraft, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], through space. Suddenly, a meteor hurdles toward his direction and hits the Dolphin, sending it 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. | |||
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]]. | The next morning, Olimar regains consciousness on [[The Impact Site]] and turns around to find the Dolphin badly damaged.

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''. | 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]]''.
