Pikmin/Walkthrough

Pikmin is a real time strategy/adventure game. You play as Captain Olimar, stranded on a strange planet. He must seek out his lost spaceship parts so he can escape before his life support system runs down. There are five areas in the game and Olimar must explore each of them thoroughly to find all the missing parts. He discovers friendly creatures he calls Pikmin which help him in his quest.

Since this game is mostly about exploration, there are many possible ways you can progress through the game. This walkthough presents just one possibility and experimentation is highly encouraged.

The beginning
Captain Olimar is returning home in his spaceship after a well earned vacation. Suddenly a meteor strikes the ship and it crashes on a strange planet. When Olimar regains consciousness, he finds only the bare skeleton of his ship; all the parts needed to make it work have been scattered over a wide area.
