“
It's a miracle. I'm alive, and somehow unharmed.
Just as the S.S Drake was about to land, we lost control and had to make an emergency escape.
During the Chaos, I was separated from my other two team members as well as the ship itself.
As the ship's engineer, it's up to me, Alph, to find both the S.S Drake and my crew members.
„
~ Alph after awaking on PNF-404

Background

Alph, also known as Alphie, is one of three Koppai explorers in Pikmin 3 sent to PNF-404 in search of food for their dying planet. However, upon entering the planet's atmosphere, the crew was sent into freefall, separating the team of explorers in the process. As Alph was the closest to the S.S Drake, a ship engineered by his grandfather of the same name, he took it upon himself to find his missing crew and collect as much fruit as possible.

Despite saving both Brittany and Captain Charlie, their cosmic drive key was picked up by a treasure hunter named Captain Olimar, who was lost on the foreign planet. Through various attempts at finding Olimar, including the introduction of Louie to the story, they eventually find and save Olimar from the mysterious lifeform, and escape from the planet with enough food to save koppai.

“ Extraordinary! When I plucked the sprout, it turned out to be a living creature, not a plant! Picking it has done no visible damage... It just stands there, staring at me. Its shape is similar to the Pikpik brand carrots I love so much... I believe I shall call it a Pikmin. „
~ Olimar's discovery of the Red Pikmin

“ Pikmin! „

Background

Pikmin are a plant-animal life-form first encountered by Captain Olimar when his ship crash-lands on an uncharted planet in Pikmin. The Pikmin are loyal to their leaders, although their criteria for deciding a leader is unclear. They come in a number of different types, each indicating a unique set of attributes that better suit them to different environments and tasks. Most Pikmin are 1.2 cm, from the top of the head to the feet, and have a vaguely humanoid shape, allowing them to walk, run, carry, and fight. Different types can have different shapes or sizes. Atop any Pikmin's head is a stem, topped with a leaf, bud, or flower, depending on their maturity.

Captain Olimar was noted in Pikmin to wonder, a bit uneasily, why the Pikmin don't attack him, and he speculated that they might see him as a "parental figure". However, the Antenna Beetle being able to control Pikmin with its sound might prove that it is in fact the whistle that makes Pikmin non-aggressive. As of Pikmin 3 Deluxe however, it is implied by the various murals located around the globe that they view Olimar as a sort of higher deity who guides them, showing the relationship between Olimar and the Pikmin is one of loyalty.

Biology

Although each Pikmin species have different characteristics, most Pikmin have the same general appearance: a roughly humanoid body shape, two round eyes, two arms and two legs, two hands and two feet – each with three digits – and a tall stem on which a single leaf, bud, or five-petaled flower grows. Their limbs also serve as roots when buried in the ground. In fact, Olimar refers to their entire bodies, save the stems, as ambulatory root structures.

The internal structures of Pikmin are a mystery, but certain things about them can be speculated. Since Pikmin never seem to eat anything, save nectar, they probably have a very simple digestive system, if any. As such, it is likely that Pikmin get a majority of their nutrients from food the Onions break down. Since the Onions are the center of Pikmin reproduction as well, it seems likely that Pikmin are incapable of sexual reproduction. However, in Pikmin, flowering Pikmin will sometimes drop seeds when slain in battle, allowing for new Pikmin to sprout in their place, suggesting that they may be able to reproduce asexually, but also that they do not have defined sexes and are hermaphrodites like many plants. Pikmin also have a skeletal system, as seen when electrocuted. These bones however are incredibly flexible to the point of allowing the Pikmin to act like rubber (Although they can be flattened and killed with enough force).

Pikmin don't appear to have any sort of lungs (However, the Blue Pikmin are observed to have gill structures), but their leaves, buds, and flowers appear to serve as their main means of respiration, since poison gas or water droplets collecting around them suffocates the Pikmin; inversely, walking in shallow water in which their leaf/bud/flower does not touch (as seen in the Shower Room) is fine. When killed, Pikmin disappear and a ghost resembling the original Pikmin flies into the air, sometimes after releasing a liquid of the same color as the Pikmin, possibly the Pikmin equivalent to hemolymph or blood – this is best seen when the Cloaking Burrow-nit attacks.

Pikmin start off as seeds ejected from the Onion, which, after landing on the ground, transform into sprouts. A leader must pluck a sprout so that the Pikmin may come out or alternatively have the Pluckaphone whistle blown at them to "inspire" them. While idle, the Pikmin's leaves and flowers glow that Pikmin's respective color; that, coupled with a cutscene at the end of Pikmin 2, would suggest that Pikmin are somehow bioluminescent, though what causes this and what function(s) it might serve in the wild have never been explained.

Regular Pikmin are able to carry at least ten times their own weight, as evidenced by the ability of Blue Pikmin to lift and toss heavy Purple Pikmin when they are drowning in water and have even been shown to lift entire nuggets of gold roughly the size of the Pikmin. Pikmin are also capable of basic speech and can even be heard saying English phrases like "OK!", "Hi!", and "Yahoo!" after being plucked from the ground. When in a group they will sometimes sing parts of Ai no Uta in Pikmin 2. If left idle for a long time, Pikmin will moan at each other. From what is heard, it can be assumed that Pikmin language is very simple and primitive.

Stages

Pikmin can be divided into three stages. In the first of these, the Pikmin will have a leaf on their stem, which changes to a bud and then a flower as the stage increases. Leaf Pikmin are the slowest and least efficient at performing tasks, but as the stage goes up the movement speed and task efficiency increases. Along with that, Pikmin think more efficiently in both combat and task when in a higher stage as they sprout into their flower state when thinking of more elaborate plans.

In some situations, Pikmin can also instantly mature from leaf to flower if threatened by immediate danger. After this point, they will remain matured for the duration of their lifespan unless reverted back to a prior state in battle.

Pikmin can advance their current stage in several ways. The most common way is by being fed nectar. Alternatively, they may be left underground before being plucked, where they will gradually mature with time, or, in Pikmin 3, they can be sprayed. When knocked to the ground in battle in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, they have a chance of losing their maturity and decreasing in stage. They will never revert their current stage in Pikmin 3.

In Pikmin, if a flower Pikmin is shaken off, it will revert to a bud, and the bud will revert to a leaf in the same scenario. In Pikmin 2, however, flower Pikmin revert to leaf Pikmin immediately. Like flower Pikmin, buds can be received when leaf Pikmin are allowed to stay in the ground for a certain amount of time.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Speed, Acrobatics (Pikmin are very agile and should be more fit than the likes of Olimar), Small Size (Type 2; Pikmin are about 2.9 centimeters, or 1.14 inches, from head-to-stem), Stealth Mastery (Due to their small size, Pikmin can easily hide in small areas), Passive Mind Manipulation and Light Manipulation (A Pikmin's stem can compel people to pull it thanks to its light, which then causes the person to become friendly with the Pikmin. The light emitting from their sprout can be seen from large distances away), Combat Proficiency (Pikmin are highly adapt at fighting wildlife far larger than themselves. Red Pikmin in particular are superior fighters to already skilled Pikmin variants), Accelerated Development (Battle & Absorption. Physical Stats, Intelligence, and Productivity. Pikmin naturally mature overtime becoming faster, stronger and smarter when they go from leaf to bud to flower), Reactive Adaptation (Pikmin went from having electricity one-shot them to electricity harmlessly stunning them. They also went from all poisons killing them to some being completely unlethal in combat), Life Absorption and Biological Manipulation (Pikmin can absorb nutrients from the soil and even living creatures, allowing them to leech off of and highjack the minds of lifeforms), Resurrection (A Flower Pikmin that falls in battle will leave behind a sprout in their place), Regeneration (Low-Mid physically. Pikmin can regenerate from being impaled in the chest and stomach thanks to their rubber-like physiology. They can also survive and regenerate from being scorched for an extended period of time. Low-Godly through the Onion. After falling in battle, a Pikmin's soul will return to the onion and be reincarnated into a new body), Immortality & Elasticity (Types 3, 6, 8, and 9. The physiology of the Pikmin allows their bodies to bend rather easily like rubber and be pierced with no major repercussions. Thanks to the Onion, a Pikmin can simply resurrect back and be sprouted onto the field, even if a Pikmin extinction occurs the onion will spit out sprouts to preserve the species), Burrowing (Pikmin can dig up berried items in dirt mounts and dig through walls of dirt rather easily). Resistance to Fire Manipulation and Extreme Heats (Is immune to fire damage from natural fire geysers and from firey blowhogs), Extreme Colds (Can inhabit the Distant Tundra without any temperature issues), Electricity Manipulation and Poison Manipulation (Has adapted to both poison and electricity to where neither are lethal to the Pikmin anymore), Mind Manipulation and Madness Inducement (Type 3; Resists the Waterwraith's abilities that make one go fearful and insane upon laying eyes on it), One Hit Kill (Resists the effects of the Enemy Annihilator which instantly kills all enemies in the vicinity of a captain), Time Stop and Magnetism Manipulation (Is unaffected by the magnetic field which stops time in the underground dungeons)

Standard Equipment

  • Bomb Rocks: Bomb rocks are explosive rocks in the Pikmin games. Upon being activated, a rock's fuse starts going down (represented by a colored wheel), and when it reaches zero, the bomb causes a violent explosion, capable of damaging enemies, Pikmin, leaders and some obstacles. In the first and third games, they can be carried by Pikmin, but only by Yellow Pikmin in the former. In Pikmin 2, they are much larger and serve as obstacles instead of tools, with the exception being on the 2-Player Battle stage Hostile Territory, where they can be picked up and thrown by leaders. They can also appear as items in 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle.

Other

Standard Tactics: Pikmin are incredibly dependant on a leader for instructions in and out of battle. If left on their own, they will typically latch onto the opponent and begin attacking them repeatedly.

Weaknesses: Aside from Bulbmin, every Pikmin either only resists one elemental type or none of them. Purples and Rocks resist no elemental types, and any Pikmin that's not a blue pikmin or Winged Pikmin can drown. Though if a Winged Pikmin does get caught off guard they can fall in the water and proceed to drown themselves. However this weakness can be avoided with the help of Blue Pikmin throwing them out of the water

Background

The S.S. Drake, simply referred to by the Koppaites as the Drake, is the main ship in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It was designed by and named after Alph's grandfather. Much like the other ships in the Pikmin series, it serves as the leaders' base, where the time in between days is spent. It also stores all the gathered objects found by the leaders, and transport the leaders from place to place. Charlie is its captain and Alph is its engineer.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Speed, Spaceflight, Small Size (Type 2; Although significantly taller than Alph and co, it's still incredibly small), possibly Genius Intelligence (The S.S Drake should be no different than the Hocotate Ship's AI which can create physics-defying technology. The S.S Drake is capable of scaning objects and deducing its physiology and structure), Inorganic Physiology (Is a spaceship with the potential consciousness of an AI), Information Analysis and Cosmic Awareness (Can scan anomalies such as the Waterwraith and was able to deduce and sense that its physical form was present in a separate dimension.

Notable Techniques

  • Whistle: The whistle is a main part of the gameplay in the Pikmin games. It is the primary way of calling idle Pikmin and leaders over onto the active leader's group, the secondary way being the active leader bumping into them. Whistling can also be used to instantly rescue Pikmin who are under the effects of certain hazards, or Pikmin trapped by special enemy attacks. Throughout the series, the whistle has been modified and repurposed for multiple different techniques.
    • Call: By blowing the whistle for an extended period of time, any idol Pikmin or captains will be alerted and fall into line next to the captain issuing the command.
    • Dismiss: Using the dismiss signal alerts any Pikmin and captains following the current captain to separate into idol groups for further action.
    • Charge: The swarm command plays a sound equivalent to a blow horn which signals any active Pikmin groups in the captain's party to charge a targetted objective.
    • Swarm: The swarm technique directs any and all Pikmin in the captain's current troop to fall in on an objective in quick succession.
  • Whistle Upgrades:
    • The Mega Tweeter: The Mega Tweeter is obtained by defeating the Ranging Bloyster in the Shower Room and collecting the Amplified Amplifier. This upgrade increases the range of the whistles of all captains. The diameter of the visible circle projected on the ground increases to about 144% of its original size, thus more than doubling the area the whistle affects. This makes it easier to call scattered Pikmin to the captain's side, even when being slow in the Onions.
    • Dodge Roll: The Dodge Whistle can be found on a small cliff a short distance away from the exit to the Vehemoth Phosbat cave. It is an upgrade that allows captains to dodge left or right, guiding the Pikmin to do the same. It is done in a straight line normally, or in an arc around a locked-on target.
  • Throw: A standard technique which involves throwing a captain or Pikmin at an objective. This technique is used primarily to launch Pikmin at foes from a distance with risking as many casualties, at the risk of only being to throw one Pikmin at a time. All Pikmin have varying effects and different abilities in combat that allow them to stand out from their fellow speciemen.
    • Red Pikmin: Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin discovered in each of the three Pikmin games. They possess a standard throwing arc with average range. Due to their 1.5 times increased damage output, they are ideal for combat.
    • Yellow Pikmin: Yellow Pikmin are typically the second Pikmin discovered throughout the games (The exception being Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe). Due to their lighter body weight, they have the highest throwing arc in the series, and can easily reach most airborne enemies.
    • Blue Pikmin: Blue Pikmin are the last Pikmin species discovered in the games (Mainly due to their aquatic diversity). Thanks to their gills, Blue Pikmin excel both on land, and underwater, making them perfect for exploring in submerged areas without risk of drowning.
    • Purple Pikmin: Purple Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2, and the first to be discovered. Their heavy weight and strength of ten regular Pikmin make them deadly warriors. Thanks to their weight, Purple Pikmin have the shortest throwing distance, but can create powerful shockwaves on impact with a solid surface.
    • White Pikmin: White Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the second species to be found by Olimar and Louie. Their light bodies and small size allow them to be thrown the furthest. To add on, consumed White Pikmin can poison targets, instantly killing them.
    • Bulbmin: Bulbmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the final species to be discovered. Bulbmin are unique in that they possess the body of a juvenile bulborb, allowing to resist most elemtal hazards.
    • Rock Pikmin: Rock Pikmin are the second species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Their rocky physiology gives them the most unique attack of all Pikmin, as throwing them does not latch them on to targets, but instead strike the target before bouncing off a short a distance.
    • Winged Pikmin: Winged Pikmin are the fourth species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and the final new species. Their ability to fly makes Winged Pikmin the most capable aerial warriors of the Pikmin species. When thrown, they can latch onto targets, or home in on them when flying. The Winged Pikmin's biggest droback is its weaker attack output.

Other

Standard Tactics: Alph will typically scan his surroundings with his KoPad and approach an opponent with caution before tactically commanding his Pikmin army to attack the opponent, whilst also using Ultra-Spicy Sprays to better his chances at victory.

Weaknesses: Must wear a spacesuit while on unknown planets. He mainly relies on his Pikmin to get work done, so losing all Pikmin causes him to become extremely depressed and drop everything he's doing to flee.

Battle Records

None.
