Piktroid

What is Piktroid?

Piktroid is what happens when you mix Pikmin and Metroid. Basically it is the original Pikmin and the first part of the back story of Pikmin:Redemption in a Metroid style. By Metroid I mean Metroid: Zero Mission, not any other Metroid game.

Plot

Captain Olimar, on his vacation after a long period of working, is hit by a meteor and crashes to the pikmin planet, in this game called Planet Pekes(after the planet Zebes the Metroid game takes place on). Little does he know that it wasn't a meteor, but a Space Pirate ship in disguise. On the way down thirty of his ship's, the S.S. Dolphin, parts break off and land in the lands below. When Olimar wakes up he sees his ship crashed into the ground and a strange object embedded into the ground. He walks up to it and it springs to life, expelling a seed. The seed quickly sprouts and a strange creature, not unlike a Pikpik Carrot, pops out when Olimar plucks it. He calls it a "Pikmin". This is a tale of Olimar's journey to find his missing ship parts and escape before thirty days as that's when his life-support fails. He meats many new friends and learns a lot along the way, but does collecting all of his ship's parts mean the end of Olimar's struggle?
