Plot
In Pikmin: Before Olimar, when Olimar comes home, he goes directly to bed, very exhausted. While sleeping, Olimar dreams about life on the Pikmin Planet before he came. The player then controls a Pikmin, commanding other Pikmin to kill a Red Bulborb. Olimar then dreams about the Pikmin discovering new lifeforms on the planet, such as new Pikmin and enemies. The player must find all of the new Pikmin to save them from going extinct while avoiding enemies.
Controls
This game is for the Wii. Players are able to use either the Nintendo GameCube controller or the Wii remote with motion plus and Nunchuk. The Gamecube controls are the same, and the Wii remote controls are almost the same as the New Play Control! versions. Now, buttons 1 and 2 on the Wii remote make the player change to different color Pikmin.
