His sprout is black, and his body cannot be seen. The Pikmin then form a line behind 'Olimin' and start to cheer. Dolphin fails to take off and crashes on the planet again Olimar is then carried to the Red Onion (presumably near-dead due to the crash) by a blue Pikmin, two yellow Pikmin, and seven red Pikmin and ejected as a seed. Olimin or Pikmar is the term used to describe Captain Olimar as a Pikmin in the bad ending of Pikmin, where the S.S. Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow. If Olimar gets the 25 necessary ship parts for flight but does not manage to collect all 30 ship parts, he will successfully fly away from the planet. His Pikmin will then bring his body to an Onion, which now turns him into a seed that grows on Olimar's head, along with a black stem and leaf, again, possibly dying. He will try to fly off, but the Dolphin will come crashing back down again, possibly killing him. If Olimar fails to get twenty-five of the mandatory ship parts by Day 30, he will suffer major poisoning from the oxygen. By the time Olimar left, the Pikmin had learned to work together by themselves, and it seemed as though they would survive as species without his assistance, resulting in a happy ending. Before he left, he took a bottle cap from the planet as a souvenir for his son. Luckily for Olimar, he was able to find the Dolphin's 30 ship parts to attach to the Dolphin's remains with time left to spare. He also discovered two more Pikmin species, the bomb-carrying Yellow Pikmin and the aquatic Blue Pikmin. While looking for parts, Olimar discovered other areas, including the Forest of Hope, the Forest Navel, the Distant Spring, and the Final Trial.

Olimar found that the Pikmin followed him loyally, which he guessed was because he plucked each one from the ground or was seen as a parental figure. Dolphin at least to lift off for the night and avoid the hostile nocturnal creatures that reside on PNF-404. Olimar directed them to carry his ship's Main Engine back to The Dolphin's remains, which auto-repaired itself with the parts that Olimar and the Pikmin brought. These Red Pikmin that he discovered were able to reproduce more Pikmin with Olimar's help. Both Pikmin and the Onions are named after famous foods Olimar often ate on Hocotate. While wandering around an area he called The Impact Site, Olimar met odd creatures that he called Pikmin at what could be called their nest, which he named an Onion. Fortunately, Olimar landed next to the still, barely functioning skeletal hull of the Dolphin. When he regained consciousness, he found the planet's atmosphere contained high amounts of oxygen, which is extremely poisonous to his species. The Dolphin lost 30 pieces, and the accident rendered Olimar unconscious. Dolphin, collided with a meteor and crashed onto an uncharted planet (later named 'PNF-404' by natives of Planet Koppai), which is actually the Pikmin planet.
