Plot

After returning to Hocotate, the President informs Olimar of a strange signal coming from the Planet of the Pikmin, so Olimar is sent to check it out. He lands in a grassy field, which he names the Field of Adventure. While landing, Olimar accidentally lands on the satellite giving the signal. The parts are scattered by the force of the landing, and it becomes Olimar's goal to find them. He then finds Bronze Pikmin and Red Pikmin, and after finding every piece his radar could detect, he is headed for the next area with parts.

Hanging Oaks

He lands in a tree stump with many cave-like overhangs, and he names it the Hanging Oaks. The landing zone is overrun when he gets there, and many a Cranky Long Legs are flattening the area, and the very large Giga Long Legs in the background, but surprisingly, the Giga Long Legs has solar panels, so when Olimar finds the Oil Pikmin he gets an idea, and defeats all of the creatures. Olimar then discovers a strange object. It springs up and attacks him randomly once he gets close enough! After defeating the beast, Olimar names it the Sneaky Starnel.

Dusk Den

After finding all five pieces in the Hanging Oaks, Olimar heads toward a small crevice, where the ship detects four parts. Olimar then finds himself in a large cave which he names the Dusk Den. Olimar finds a strange beast wandering around the cavern. While looking at it, Olimar names it the Bulborst. Once it sees Olimar, it attacks.

Final Frontier

Once Olimar collects the pieces from both the Miniboss and the main boss, he leaves to where the ship detects the final piece, which Olimar names the Final Frontier. There, Olimar finds a ginormous beast, which he names the Scorpiod. The beast drops the final piece of the satellite and Olimar heads home after collecting it. After putting it back together it turns out to be... a nuclear toaster oven. Louie then runs away with it while Olimar faints. A creature stows itself away on the ship. The gases in Hocotate's atmosphere cause it to mutate, and it attacks the company. Olimar then sees the Onions land on Hocotate, and goes into battle with the creature, which he calls the Kingkolab.
