In the year 20XX, the people of Koppai are facing famine due to overpopulation and poor planning. After discovering the Pikmin planet, PNF-404, which has abundant food resources, three captains—Alph, Brittany, and Charlie—are sent to retrieve them. However, their ship, the S.S. Drake, malfunctions and crashes upon landing, leaving the team separated on the planet. With the help of their newfound friends, Pikmin, the team must band back together to save their beloved home planet. 

Pikmin 3 was a key release for Nintendo, marking the return of the beloved Pikmin franchise after nearly a decade. Its innovative use of real-time strategy and puzzle-solving mechanics showcased the Wii U's capabilities, offering a unique and visually stunning experience. The game expanded on the core elements of the Pikmin series by introducing additional player characters, new Pikmin types, and features like Off-TV Play and downloadable content.
