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 eight hundred and fifty-nine 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. | |||
During the mission, the recruit encounters a | 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 [[Gear#Pup Scorch Guard|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]]. | |||
''Pikmin 4'' is the largest game in the series, featuring a whopping eight hundred and fifty-nine treasures, more than every other game combined. Of these treasures, four hundred and seventy of them are [[gold nugget]]s, with the remaining four hundred and ten being various household objects and trinkets, similar to ''Pikmin 2''. For the first time in the series, duplicates of treasures exist; of the aforementioned four hundred and ten treasures, there are only two hundred and thirty-nine unique kinds. | |||
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. | |||

In addition, in ''Pikmin 3'', the player can go back to any previous day, and going back to day 1 effectively resets the story: some otherwise permanent information, like all charted locations of an area on the [[radar]], and the code used for the [[Secret File]]s, are reset when the player goes to day 1, finishes it, and saves the game. | In addition, in ''Pikmin 3'', the player can go back to any previous day, and going back to day 1 effectively resets the story: some otherwise permanent information, like all charted locations of an area on the [[radar]], and the code used for the [[Secret File]]s, are reset when the player goes to day 1, finishes it, and saves the game. | ||
Many of these same changes apply during the segment with [[Brittany]] after she falls into a cave in the [[Distant Tundra]] and discovers the [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Once she leaves this cave, the day counter will begin like normal. The tutorial with Captain Olimar in ''Pikmin 4'' also applies many of these changes, although it does not represent his first day on the planet. Pikmin can die during the fight with the [[Porquillion]] here, but a Pikmin extinction will not end the day because Olimar and [[Moss]] have unlimited health and can keep fighting by themselves. The tutorial only ends once the Porquillion is dead and has dropped the [[Interstellar Radio]]. | |||
