Pikmin: Stranded Exploration

Pikmin:Stranded Exploration takes place after Olimar becomes stranded on the Pikmin Planet. Olimar had come to the Planet of the Pikmin to study the local wildlife, but he arrived late, after dark, and his ship was totaled by the nocturnal predators. Olimar manages to get in the freight pod of what used to be his shiny new ship and escape to a high ledge. This pod is similar to the research pod, but is designed for more industrial purposes. It is similar to the pod that took away the Dolphin at the start of Pikmin 2. The first day takes place in the area where Olimar's ship was attacked. In the daytime, this area is peaceful and has few enemies. Here Olimar discovers a group of several red pikmin, with no onion in sight. The controls are introduced and Spacious Barrel (which is really an empty soda can) is gathered here, from which the freight pod builds the Storage Compartment. The first cave, the Discovery Hub, is entered, and the Mysterious Map (which is really a highway map) is found in there. This unlocks the Barren Desert area for Exploration. The Red Pikmin go into the Storage Compartment, and the Freight Pod Hovers up into the trees.

Unlike most other pikmin games, day two is planned out as a second tutorial day. More about is coming soon...
