Pikmin: Invasion of the Giants

This is a game that would be released for the Wii, along with an edition for Nintendo DS. It is supposed to happen after the events in Pikmin 2.

Plot

Spoiler warning: Secret plot or ending details follow.

Shortly after the events in Pikmin 2, Olimar, Louie, and the president of Hocotate Freight are in a meeting concerning how rich they are, and where the company would need to touch up, and use the money in that area. Louie suggests that they make it a mega-sized kitchen, complete with the flamethrower that the Titan Dweevil had. Suddenly, the president's phone begins to ring. He picks it up, says hello, and listens to whomever is on the line. He listens for about five seconds before he pales and faints. Olimar looks at Louie, who shrugs back, and then they pick up the phone. A voice on the other end announces, "it appears we have miscalculated your pay. You actually owed us closer to 100,000,000 pokos. Get it soon or we will shut down your little freight company for good." Upon hearing this news, Olimar faints too, leaving Louie holding the phone. Louie looks at it for a few moments, and then sticks his tongue out. He then hangs up, and walks off. Louie comes back with a glass of ice water. He then slips an ice cube down Olimar's suit, and then does the same to the president. Olimar wakes up, but the president remains un-conscious. Louie tries again. Nothing. He gets rather angry, and stalks off. A few moments later he comes back toting a giant hose. He then sprays it full power in the President's face. The President then finally wakes up. A few moments later Louie and Olimar blast off in The Ship, ready to collect all the remaining treasure on the planet.

Gameplay

This is played the same way one would play Pikmin 2, only now there is one new thing. After collecting an upgrade, the character will now have the ability to jump! You collect treasure, and the amount the treasure is worth will be chipped off your debt. It is worth noting that the pokos collected in Pikmin 2 will not count, you start at the debt of 100,000,000 Pokos.
