Plot

Captain Olimar, exausted from working hard, goes on vacation only to get hit by an asteroid and land on the mysterious planet of the Pikmin. His ship, the S.S. Dolphin is now an absolute wreck, but on the way he meets up with the Pikmin. With the help from the Pikmin, Olimar soon has the hope to recover the rocket parts he needs and get back home. But he soon finds out that the planet contains oxygen, an element incredibly deadly to the planet of Hocotate and its people. Olimar has only 30 days before complete battery failure. On his way he meets the Yellow Pikmin and eventualy the Blue Pikmin along with indigenous creatures such as the Bulborbs.

Gameplay

Pikmin is a three dimensional game that gives you control of Captain Olimar who is followed in turn by the Pikmin whom he directs. The whole point of the game is to find, capture, and collect the various ship parts (30) under a thirty-day yield, so Olimar can escape the grasp of the planet before his life support system fails. Each day is approximately 15 minutes. During the approach of nightfall, you must gather strays and toiling Pikmin to your base or command so that they don't fall victim to the hands of the voracious nocturnal predators, such as the Red Bulborb.

In Pikmin you will face many obstacles in order to secure the parts required to rebuild your ship. This must be done with care as many obstacles are hazards such as water, fire, and explosions. There are also other things to block your way, such as walls, bridges, gaps, and other things. Many different animal species on the planet will also try to hinder the progress of your working Pikmin. However, your forces are limited, you can only have up to 100 Pikmin out in the field and no more under any circumstances. The rest are stored in the Onions, the homes of the Pikmin.

The Pikmin

Pikmin are the plant/animal hybrids were discovered by Captain Olimar when he crash landed on the planet. The Pikmin will willingly follow his orders and movements for whatever fate that may await them. Each species of Pikmin has weaknesses and strengths and all three pikmin must be used in cooperation in order to collect all of the missing ship parts. The Pikmin are relatively short creatures and stand at a height of about one inch. Very few clues are provided of their physical elements. All Pikmin in general have a head, two eyes, a torso, two feet, and two arms; all three Pikmin are noticably slender and very fragile thin beings, thus making it apparent that they can easily be harmed, and must be protected at whatever means neccasary in order to survive. The facial appearances of Pikmin are a mystery, as they all have huge eyes, and round black pupils, and they always stare at Captain Olimar, or whoever for whatever reason, with a very strange look. Each specie of Pikmin also has unique appearances, Red Pikmin have a long pointy nose, Yellow Pikmin have large sail-like ears, and Blue Pikmin have not mouths, but gills that have allowed them to survive and live in aquatic habitats.
