Following the events of Pikmin 3, Captain Olimar returns to PNF-404, an Earth-like planet he has visited before, with his old ship the SS Dolphin. A freak accident causes his ship to crash land, whereupon he is forced to recruit Pikmin once again to help him find the ship's missing parts. During his search, Olimar bonds with a dog-like creature that he names Moss. After finding his ship's missing radio within the interior of a large house, Olimar transmit an SOS call, along with his voyage logs.
The Rescue Corps, an intergalactic rescue organization, receives the emergency call and sends a team to PNF-404 led by Captain Sheperd, to find and rescue Olimar. However, the ship malfunctions when it reaches the planet, forcing the crew to eject from it before it crash lands on the surface. Concerned for their safety, the Rescue Corps assigns its newest recruit, the player character, to find the missing Rescue Corps members and to help them complete the mission. Reaching the planet, the recruit encounters Shepherd's rescue pup, a dog-like creature called Oatchi, which bonds with them. Rescuing Shepherd and the team's communication officer Colin, the recruit finds that the Rescue Corps ship has run out of power. Through the help of Pikmin near the ship's crash site, the recruit recovers several objects found to contain a resource known as Sparklium, which can help refuel the ship.
The recruit, accompanied by the Pikmin and Oatchi, begins exploring the area to find the other Rescue Corp members, along the way discovering that a number of treasure hunters have come to the planet after picking up Olimar's signal, only to become castaways in the process. Shepherd instructs the recruit to locate and rescue castaways, along their primary objectives.
Pikmin 4 is a real-time strategy video game developed by Nintendo EPD and published by Nintendo. It is the fourth main installment of the Pikmin series, following Pikmin 3 (2013), and sixth installment overall. It was released on the Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2023.
The player controls a minuscule character who takes command of squads of Pikmin to explore various areas, combat enemies, secure treasures, and solve puzzles. Pikmin can be directed to conduct various tasks, including being tossed onto objects and enemies, and have varying weaknesses and strengths. For example, Red Pikmin are invulnerable to fire, Blue Pikmin can walk underwater, and Winged Pikmin can lift up objects and float over hazards. The player can switch between different species of Pikmin in order to select the right ones for dealing with enemies and hazards. The camera options provide full freedom to view the area around the player's character more easily, including the perspective being much closer to the ground than in previous games.
The game's single-player mode offers new features to the series. Players can customize their own character with different facial features and uniform colors, and gain access to a hub base that provides different activities to undertake - such as the ability to make improvements to Oatchi, after it gains experience during exploration, as well as upgrades to their character's equipment. Treasures collected in different areas contribute a resource known as Sparklium, which is needed to expand the number of maps the player can explore. The player can choose a mission. The several main missions include finding Captain Olimar, and side missions come from castaways brought back to the hub base. Practice Mode trains the player to defeat enemies.
While exploring an area for the day, the player is limited in the number of Pikmin (regardless of species) they can deploy for exploration, but can increase the limit by upgrading the Pikmin's Onion craft with special bulbs found in various locations. In addition, players can redeploy their transport craft and the Onion to different landing sites to deploy Pikmin quickly and speed up the acquisitions of treasures and combat spoils, upon finding sites for the first time beyond the initial landing area. Underground caves, a feature introduced in Pikmin 2, return with the ability to change a Pikmin squad before entering, with time moving much slower while exploring a cave's sublevels; like in Pikmin 2, the spoils of combat can be recovered, but contribute a low amount of Sparklium compared to treasure. A rewind feature allows the player to undo mistakes or play in a different way.
