Pikmin: The Pollution
Pikmin: The Pollution is a game by Pikminwraith.
Plot
Pikmin: The Pollution takes places 5 months after Pikmin 2. The game starts with Olimar on a walk, when Sierra, one of the scientists in town, came to show Olimar her invention. The invention is the SuperScope. A telescope that lets you see much farther. Olimar sees the Planet of Pikmin, but most of it looks dying and polluted! Olimar then goes with Sierra with another one of her inventions, the De-Pollutionater. They inform this to Louie who comes with them. On the way an Asteroid comes from behind and nearly destroys the De-Pollutionater and its copies! The 3 of them then crash lands into the Impact Site again. While the ship was quickly fixed, they required 10 (Brought 12) copies, but most of them broke into 4 pieces. Sierra only saved 3/4 pieces of one of them. With the Pikmin, they must get the machine parts in 35 days, and save Pikmin Planet.

SPOILERS FOR SECRETS
Are you tired of going back to the onion to get more pikmin or put them back in? Well don't fret, in this game, you can control the onion! To do this you need the special whistle in the Impact Site and you need 35 pikmin which is the maximum you can have in the first day. Each Onion has different statistics and have an ability unique to that onion. For example, the Red Onion can grab and throw enemies, and the Blue Onion can go in water like a submarine. To get 100% you need to do this as there are some items and dungeons that require this!

Ending (SPOILERS)
Good Ending
If you get enough pieces, but not all of them, the polluted parts of the planet will be restored. When Olimar and Sierra leave, the pikmin form a circle around them and dance around them as thanks for saving the planet before entering their ship. When they lift of the onions circle around them until they leave the atmosphere.
Great Ending
If you get all the pieces, the planet will be restored, and sparkles. When Olimar and Sierra leave, the pikmin form multiple circle, and get a formation of the sun, and dance, glowing brightly like in the end of Pikmin 2 before they go in the ship as thanks for saving their planet. When they lift off, the onions fly around them giving off sparkles. When they leave the atmosphere, the pikmin glow and form a rainbow, (Rock being orangish) (The Black pikmin form a smile) as a goodbye.
Bad Ending
If you don't get enough pieces, the planet starts rotting, and many pikmin start to die. Olimar, Louie, and Sierra got to save a couple pikmin and some healthy oxygen so they can still survive. With their mission failed, the three leave in shame.
