The story mode in {{p4}} features [[Pikmin 4 player character|the newest recruit of the Rescue Corps]], and their loyal space-dog companion [[Oatchi]]'s quest to rescue Captain Olimar, the [[Rescue Corps]] that were sent to help him, and a number of [[castaway]]s after a series of freak accidents results in all of them crash-landing on PNF-404. | The story mode in {{p4}} features [[Pikmin 4 player character|the newest recruit of the Rescue Corps]], and their loyal space-dog companion [[Oatchi]]'s quest to rescue Captain Olimar, the [[Rescue Corps]] that were sent to help him, and a number of [[castaway]]s after a series of freak accidents results in all of them crash-landing on PNF-404. After making contact with the Rescue Corps, they are also tasked with collecting and extracting [[sparklium]] from various treasures across the planet in order to repair the [[S.S. Shepherd]]. Their search for Olimar, the forty-nine missing individuals, and the four hundred and ten treasures span six areas and twenty-three caves. New areas are largely unlocked through story progression: Collecting enough sparklium will expand the effective range of the S.S Shepherd's scanners, allowing for further exploration. | ||
Each day in ''Pikmin 4'' lasts around fifteen minutes. Similar to {{p2}}, there is no day limit, allowing for as much time to be taken as needed. However, time ''does'' pass - albeit slower -while in caverns, requiring a degree of efficiency even when exploring underground. ''Pikmin 4'' returns to only featuring two playable Leaders, being the main player character and their companion Oatchi. The player can upgrade both Oatchi and their character by collecting [[raw material]], which can be then crafted into various upgrades, such as a [[Scorch Guard (Oatchi)|flame-retardant collar for Oatchi.]] | |||
Oatchi's abilities can be further enhanced by exchanging Pup Drive gained by rescuing castaways for "training." Oatchi can be trained to increase his attack power and health or can even eventually learn to bowl over weak enemies with his [[Rush]]. | |||
During the mission, the recruit encounters a strange, enigmatic individual strongly resembling Olimar, but covered in red fur and with the stem of a Pikmin, as well as an obsession for [[dandori]], the act of multi-tasking and carrying out plans efficiently. His relationship with Olimar was unclear. | During the mission, the recruit encounters a strange, enigmatic individual strongly resembling Olimar, but covered in red fur and with the stem of a Pikmin, as well as an obsession for [[dandori]], the act of multi-tasking and carrying out plans efficiently.
