Pikmin: Distant Planet

Pikmin: Distant Planet is a non-canon game which was concieved at the same time as Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator, the first game in the Buildup Trilogy leading to Pikmin: Ultimate Doom. The original idea was for this to be a MOTHER 3 parody, but it is currently under construction and will probably start taking form after the real, canon Pikmin 3 is (hopefully) announced at E3 tomorrow! So there is plenty to look forwards to.

Little is known of the game as of now, save for a few facts:

• It takes place long before Olimar ever visited the Pikmin planet, so Pikmin are the main characters.
• It reveals much about the past of the planet.
• The gameplay has changed drastically. It is NOT an RTS.
• It's a tale of a struggle for control of the Distant Planet between two groups.
• Travel from place to place is more difficult because the onions had not grown sufficiently powerful propelling petals yet. Instead, a group of Pikmin must transport the onion on foot. It may seem inconvenient, but onions are surprisingly light, requiring only the strength of five Pikmin to carry. Onions don't have to be carried under normal circumstances, but are useful for having a steady supply of Pikmin for eliminating obstacles and enemies.
• Everything about it is subject to lots of change, including these so-called "facts."
