The story takes place in the galactic 21st century. The planet of [[Koppai]] is facing an inevitable doomsday due to a booming population growth, and a "general lack of planning" that resulted in the depletion of most food resources. They send unmanned scout vessels, called [[SPERO]]s, out into space to search for a planet containing edible matter. As [[SPERO]]s returned with no data, and their hopes were dying out, the final one arrives with coordinates to [[PNF-404]], which the Koppaites believe to be an uncharted planet. Three explorers are sent to PNF-404 to retrieve seeds to bring back and cultivate on Koppai. The crew is composed of [[Alph]], a young engineer, [[Brittany]], a botanist, and [[Charlie]], the captain of their ship, the [[S.S. Drake]]. As they approach the atmosphere of PNF-404, the Drake malfunctions and ejects the three explorers before plummeting to the surface of the planet. | The story takes place in the galactic 21st century.

Upon arriving at the final area, the explorers learn that Louie's partner, Captain Olimar, was sent to the planet by [[Hocotate Freight]] to try and find more [[treasure]] in order to pay back a second loan and buy back the [[S.S. Dolphin]], but ended up crashing and completely destroying the Hocotate ship. Alone on the surface, he was abducted by a large, overprotective creature called the [[Plasm Wraith]], which tries to mother him and refuses to let him go. Eventually, the Koppaites free Olimar from the Wraith and escape with him on the S.S. Drake as the creature screams at them for taking Olimar away. | Upon arriving at the final area, the explorers learn that Louie's partner, Captain Olimar, was sent to the planet by [[Hocotate Freight]] to try and find more [[treasure]] in order to pay back a second loan and buy back the [[S.S.

There are 3 possible endings for the game, all related to the amount of fruit obtained. The bad ending is thought to be achieved by obtaining 10 types of fruit. The narrator implies that the amount of seeds obtained here will not be enough to solve the Koppai famine. The good ending is thought to have been obtained from getting 20 types of fruit. Here, the narrator implies that the seeds obtained here can be used to stopped the crisis if used properly; he also discusses how the leaders have learned the basics of teamwork and planning. Lastly, the best possible ending is achieved from getting all 66 fruits. In this ending, the narrator implies that Koppai survived the food crisis, and that crashing of both ships was not by accident; once again, he mentions how the explorers have mastered teamwork. It is not known yet which ending is considered canon, though it is likely the best ending. | |||
At the end of the [[credits]], the Pikmin are seen singing and coexisting with both themselves and the creatures of the Pikmin planet. However, this is interrupted when the Pikmin spot a flaming object crashing onto the surface of the planet. The Voyage Log entry for the last day states that [[Louie]] did not board the ship with them. | |||

Before ''Pikmin 3'''s development started, the developers tried creating ''Pikmin'' games on both the Gameboy Advance and the [[3DS]]. The experience was deemed too weak on those consoles, and Shigeru Miyamoto was not pleased.<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-worked-on-pikmin-prototypes-for-gba-and-3ds-pikmin-3-has-something-for-everyone/ Nintendo Everything's report on the Gameboy Advance and 3DS developments]</ref> Development was later moved to the Wii. This was first hinted at in 2007 during an interview with IGN. Shigeru Miyamoto told IGN, "I certainly don't think we've seen the last of Pikmin. I definitely would like to do something with them, and I think the [[Wii]] interface in particular is very well suited to that franchise." On 2008, the game was confirmed to come out for the Wii, but at E3 2011, a new announcement revealed that development had moved over to the Wii U. | Before ''Pikmin 3'''s development started, the developers tried creating ''Pikmin'' games on both the Gameboy Advance and the [[3DS]].

A future installment was confirmed at the E3 2008 at Nintendo's Developer Roundtable, where all that was mentioned was that Miyamoto was working on a future installment<ref>[http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/liveblog-from-nintendos-2008-e3-developer-roundtable/ Developer Roundtable liveblog]</ref>. At E3 2011, Miyamoto stated at his roundtable that ''Pikmin 3'' was moved from the Wii to the Wii U, noting that the special GamePad controller and the HD visuals would better complement the series<ref>[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/26645/pikmin-coming-to-wii-u ''Pikmin 3'' coming to Wii U]</ref>. E3 2012 marked the first appearance of ''Pikmin 3'' gameplay, shown off at Nintendo's press conference. Basic gameplay, HD visuals, the GamePad interface, and Rock Pikmin were shown off. It was proposed to be a launch title, but was later pushed back. It was shown off once again at E3 2013, as Miyamoto gave a small presentation on the game. ''Pikmin 3'' eventually launched towards the end of summer in 2013. Miyamoto stated in a Polygon interview that the [[Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' Short Movies]] were intended to launch on the 3DS prior to the launch of ''Pikmin 3'' <ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2013/3/11/4088868/nintendo-tests-the-waters-for-new-cartoon-series-based-on-pikmin ''Pikmin'' cartoon series]</ref> .
