@@QueenofTaterTots be weird how Pikmin Olimar has to go inside if he is plucked and hides when night falls. Like Pikmin Olimar's helmet will get stuck or him removing it and living a life as a Pikmin
If this wasn't creepy enough, when you play pikmin 3, you might find a data file saying that olimar had a dream about this exact ending. and you also find it in a dark cave. Cause Nintendo.
Normally, when Olimar is carried to an onion he is spat back out. But in this case, he was turned into a seed. Technically, Olimar died in his crash landing.
+boomerang2455 Which means that even if he's brought back to life by the onion, he's got a plant sprouting out of his lifeless corpse, that now controls it like a cordyceps.
I guess they reverted to their wild instincts? I guess picking up dead things is kinda ingrained in their instincts, they just lose the instinct to pick stuff up involuntarily when they're being commanded.
They didn't bring Olimar back to life. Olimar already died from the poisonous atmosphere and the crash. It's just basically a plant growing on his dead body
What they did to olimar was what they did to all dead things. Send it to the onion to be made into pikmin. The other inhabitants of the planet have organs that can be broken down to make pikmin but olimar didn't. That's why he became an olimar pikmin instead of a normal one.
No, it's more like taking a shit, but the shit has undigested corn and carrots in it. In this case, the shit is the new pikmin, and the undigested corn and carrots are the parts of Olimar that couldn't be broken down.
I was 5 when I saw this. Never touched this game again. I was horrified that failing in this game ends everything. Now I am 18 and I still don‘t want to play it again.
if you think about it, this is the best possible outcome for the pikmin. First olimar managed to increase their population, then he died, giving them more food. finally, he bioligacally transfered, making a new type of pikmin that is smart enought to help pluck them and be a leader. the only issue now is how to get him out of the ground
Pikmin #1: "We did it guys! We saved Olimar!" *Tons of cheering from the Pikmin* Pikmin #2: "But how are we going to pluck him up?" Pikmin #1: "...Dang it."
Welcome to Pikmin, the game that has: - Astronauts suffocating as they fall to their death - Whose lifeless corpses are then decapitated - Who are then possessed by parasites For kids!
Everyone says no one can pluck out olimar, the pikmin together were able to lift engines for rockets yet they can't simply pull someone out of the ground? Seems legit. :-/
*olimar crashes* *Pikmin gather around him.* Steve: Uhh what do we do? Bob: Get him to the onion! *olimin is born* Steve: Yayyy now he's one of us. All: *eyes turn red* One of us. One of us. One of us.
I think the Pikmin were trying to save his life. It appears to me that they didn't want to turn him into a normal pikmin, but would rather have a pikmin version of him to allow him to live on the planet with them.
This is actually my favorite ending. Imagine olimar running around, smacking the shit out of a firey blowhog as a pikmin, WITH other pikmin! PLUS, since he "died" with his suit on, he is ammune to poison, water, AND fire!
There’s a note in pikmin 3 where olimar describes a nightmare where the pikmin carry his body to an onion the same as a pellet. He shares the idea that pikmin may only be using him to survive and will use any means to do so. They aren’t his friend. His body is not revived. The crash didn’t kill him but with no air left he was unable to breath and died. The onion doesn’t revive him, only used his corpse to nurse a pikmin seedling
@@MILDMONSTER1234 Though in the first game, he only uses them for one thing: To get out. In fact, he never intended to go back in the second game; he was just sent there because the company needed money.
+X How did Bulbmin even happen? The only thing I could imagine is when Olimar left, some random Pikmin was like, "Hey Steve, I'm gonna go fuck this bulborb and see what happens."
This is how Bulbmin are made from Pikmin 2's Pikipedia "This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in Pikmin Onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burying its rootlike limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's bodily functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress." In later messages its found out that the parasitic Pikmin can not only control bulborbs but other creature but it prefers bulborbs cause they are the easiest to take control
I love how this game actually lets you lose, forever, and have to start over. it was like that in a lot of nes/snes games, but this game takes 7 hours to get this far.
I love this ending. *It is dark yet entertaining.* The music that plays as his ship fails to escape, combined with the stakes presented by Olimar's log entries throughout the game, give off an utter sense of defeat. This is juxtaposed by the still dark yet entertaining image of the Pikmin carrying him to the onion and having him turn into a Pikmin himself (an Olimin, if you will.) *It is overt yet ambiguous.* It wordlessly and directly shows what happened to Olimar, but leaves out just enough to allow for different interpretations of the scene (as this comment section shows.) Did the crash and atmosphere kill him, or was he unconscious like he was at the impact site? Did the Pikmin carry him back to base to save him or to harvest him? If he were to be plucked, would he still remember his past life and act accordingly? *Can he even be plucked?* The game never overtly states any of these answers, so the player can interpret these how they see fit. However, it does *show* a few subtle details that make it even better. First, unlike the good ending, he leaves incredibly quickly, showing his fear and haste in trying to escape. Second, the Pikmin come up to where his ship was when it took off, implying he didn't dismiss them to their onions like he usually does at that time of night. This further showcases his haste in leaving and displays how the Pikmin look up to him. None of this is written, allowing subtext to tell the story instead. *It is crushing yet motivating.* This scene shows a bad outcome. But this is simply that. *An outcome.* It shows all the parts you missed, but lights them ambiguously and leaves them unnamed so you are curious. This shows that you can do better. You can work faster. You can plan smarter. Then, in another playthrough, *you can change the future.*

thats really creepy if u think about it.... olimar lost all his ship parts. he practly die crashing that time. pikmin are HAPLY carring him back to a oninon..... and cheering... i think they were planing this
I like how even though the Dolphin crashed nose-down, the scene after that showed the Dolphin standing nose-up. Did the Pikmin stand the Dolphin back up before taking Olimar to the Onion?
Remember, this is Pikmin 1, so it has the same quality as Mario 64. Besides, in videogames, you can have full body armor that gives less armor stat than a piece of female only gear that only covers 1/10th of your body. Most of the time, the latter has thousands of times more armor.
If you think about it, Olimar died from the crash landing. I know its a dream, but if an object is brought back to the onion and its alive, it wont go in. (Not counting Pikmin.)
Chris Spreitzer In this game, there are 3 endings. One where Olimar leaves the planet with an incomplete ship, letting him escape, but not giving him time to pick up his secret safe and the bottle cap that he has in Pikmin 2, one ending where he dies, (this one) and the ending where he leaves with all 30 parts and a bottle cap that the Pikmin 2 ship prices, forcing Olimar to go back to PNF 404 to save his company. The latter ending is the one that leads into Pikmin 2, meaning that Pikmin 2 removed some doubt on which ending was the proper ending, thus, making the 100% ending the "canon" one. In other words, the ending that "actually happened" in the Pikmin story is called the "Canon" ending, while the other endings "never actually happened." I could have said all of that with far less words then I used, but I decided to make it unnecessarily long anyway, because I'm stupid.
I remember seeing this ending when I was like 6, and it scared me. I just beat the game for the first time ever (all 30 parts, in 28 days!) and I'm so happy. Watching this ending now, its honestly a lot cuter than I remember. Being turned into a pikmin is weird, but a lot more tame then it could've been. Lol
It’s honestly just the concept that’s creepy. Olimar dies because his ship doesn’t have enough parts but he’s forced to leave because if he doesn’t he would still die because of the poisonous air around him. Dang that scared me as a 7 year old
@@theiathegondia7349 In this bad ending one has to remember that Olimar didn't effectively teach them to take care of themselves. Least not as well as before and olimar has probably lost all his memories and special intelligence as a result of this transformation meaning he is probably no better off to fight other enemies then the other pikimin. The chance of peril for him and the other pikmin is very great.
Oh man, this was on my list of childhood nightmares. I was scared of this game for a long time after seeing that! And I only missed ONE SINGLE IMPORTANT PIECE!
That's actually pretty morbid. I remember this game being friggin hard as a kid, then I replayed it a few days ago and beat it in one sitting. Still the best 8 hours I've had with a game in a long time.
This is either pretty dang dark or somewhat sweet depending on your perspective. Looking at it negatively, Olimar has now become forced to resign himself to being a pikmin man on this uncharted planet for the rest of his life and he will very likely never see his family/friends on Hocotate again. On the bright side, it shows the companionship the Pikmin had to Olimar to bring him back to life as a pikmin, and we know Olimar developed a certain fondness for the planet and these pikmin and now, in a strange twist of fate, he can spend the rest of his life fully experiencing the planet outside of his suit as the alpha pikmin with his pikmin friends. It would be fun to have an alternative scenario game in which Olimar is desperately spending his life trying to find a way in his new Pikmin body to get off the planet and back to Hocotate to report his findings and see his friends/family, even if he has to remain a pikmin and his friends/family will never see him the same way again.
Quite frankly, I like this ending a lot. I love the Pikmin. Even though Olimars death is sad, Pikmar was born! And he will have tons of fun with his little pikmin to keep him company.
@@sergotdorce2029 I'd wager they can, it's just that with Olimar around it makes no sense since he's much more efficient at it, but the Pikmin survived on their own before Olimar came so they must at least be able to get themselves out of the ground or pluck others.
The thing I find so interesting about the endings for pikmin 1 is that it plays the exact same jingle when the results screen comes up even if you get the best or worst ending. But depending on what ending you get the results jingle can sound very depressing or very sweet even though the jingle never changes. And that’s w a c k
I'm convinced that, when the Pikmin were dragging Olimar to the Onion, they were dragging his *corpse* . Because Hocotatians like him can't breathe oxygen and his life-support system failed. I don't know if turning him into a Pikmin revived him or not. Good thing this isn't canon, right?
the leaf is symbiotic, and helped him survive because the pikmin and onion are sentient and knew he was at deaths door, so the onion put the plant stuff in him so he could breathe oxygen and therefore didnt suffocate because normally oxygen is lethal but the plant removes that fact-- wait... can he breathe oxygen and whatever atmosphere his home planet has (i forget what it is) also? *GASP* LET THIS BE TRUE, NINTENDO!!!!
This is actually my favorite ending. Imagine olimar running around, smacking the shit out of a firey blowhog. PLUS, since he "died" with his suit on, he is ammune to poison, water, AND fire!
i see this as the pikmins' good will. they are saving him in the only way they know, and celebrate when he comes out alive either way. they love him!! they do what they can!!
My bro and I played this when he was in high school. He did not know this would happen. I was traumatized by this as a kid and he was shook. It's still just as sad as I remember.
+legion999 Considering that parasite Pikmin are 100% canon (you use them in caves in the second game as they infect the brain of larval Bulborbs), would not doubt it one bit. On top of that, the Puffstool can release spores that screw with a Pikmin's brain, turning them into mushroom Pikmin that attack Olimar and the spores have a chance of killing their host Pikmin, there's a deformed Mamuta called a Smokey Progg that runs around the Distant Spring and can suffocate Pikmin instantly, Pikmin most likely follow Olimar because they think he's a superior Pikmin and therefore follow his orders without question, AND, in the bad ending of the game, Olimar leaves behind a wife and two kids (and a dog). This isn't even mentioning in the second game, a heavily pregnant Bulborb queen that constantly gives birth to Bulborbs and has a tendency to roll around and squish them and, in the third game, a golden plasma spirit thing that creates hallucinations of monsters. Oh, and then there's Louie who grew up being forced to eat bugs in his grandma's backyard and then, in the third game, thinks it's alright to steal all the food from random strangers as an act of "revenge". As adorable as some things are in the Pikmin series, it can get insanely creepy and dark in an instant.
I played and completed this game for the first time right before the re-released was announced for the switch, and I'm glad I did, because if I played this as a kid, I would've easily gotten the bad ending and be traumatized by it. But as a 18 year old playing it, and seeing the bad ending is just disturbing yet hilarious.
You will still get this bad ending if you have 28 part cuz if you don't have all 25 necessary Parts it doesn't matter whether you have 28 total if you're missing at least 1 necessary part you're going to end up with this ending.
Damn you can take this as either two completely different ways. One, they revive their fallen captain as one of them or two they use his corpse as fertilizer for new pikmin.
you know... it doesnt seem to bad, at least hes the leader of the pikmins now and can breathe on the planet without his helment. Hes literaly the tarzan of the pikmans :D Still, asimilation is by far the creepiest and down right disturbing thing someone can do.... O_o

There wasn't much doubt about Olimar being dead before entering the onion.
WDYM you know its a dream?
Chris Spreitzer It doesn't have to be a dream, it's just not canon. The 30-part ending is the canon ending.
Chris Spreitzer In this game, there are 3 endings. One where Olimar leaves the planet with an incomplete ship, letting him escape, but not giving him time to pick up his secret safe and the bottle cap that he has in Pikmin 2, one ending where he dies, (this one) and the ending where he leaves with all 30 parts and a bottle cap that the Pikmin 2 ship prices, forcing Olimar to go back to PNF 404 to save his company.
The latter ending is the one that leads into Pikmin 2, meaning that Pikmin 2 removed some doubt on which ending was the proper ending, thus, making the 100% ending the "canon" one.
In other words, the ending that "actually happened" in the Pikmin story is called the "Canon" ending, while the other endings "never actually happened."
I could have said all of that with far less words then I used, but I decided to make it unnecessarily long anyway, because I'm stupid.
Hot damn bro. You know your Pikmin alright
"one of us! one of us!"
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Gooble goo
I remember seeing this ending when I was like 6, and it scared me. I just beat the game for the first time ever (all 30 parts, in 28 days!) and I'm so happy. Watching this ending now, its honestly a lot cuter than I remember. Being turned into a pikmin is weird, but a lot more tame then it could've been. Lol
It’s honestly just the concept that’s creepy. Olimar dies because his ship doesn’t have enough parts but he’s forced to leave because if he doesn’t he would still die because of the poisonous air around him. Dang that scared me as a 7 year old
Gonna be crazy if that Pikmin 4 theory turns out to be real.
Apparently this ending is canon to Pikmin 4.
Really neat how they brought this ending back for the "good ending" of Olimars side quest in Pikmin 4
Well, this just potentially became relevant again...
Poor Olimar. I'd be scared to death if I was in a situation like this.
@@theiathegondia7349 In this bad ending one has to remember that Olimar didn't effectively teach them to take care of themselves. Least not as well as before and olimar has probably lost all his memories and special intelligence as a result of this transformation meaning he is probably no better off to fight other enemies then the other pikimin. The chance of peril for him and the other pikmin is very great.
@@theiathegondia7349 Am I really though? Often its a good idea to look beyond the veil. Things aren't always what they seem.
When I saw this Ending I was horrfied...
Same here
Looking back at it, less as horrified then I remember. Still VERY Creepy #64spooky128 me
It's not the darkest thing Nintendo has done... twilight princess for example
Nah Majora's Mask is by far the darkest to me but it's just my opinion
What about the beta game over screen from Luigi's Mansion?
Oh man, this was on my list of childhood nightmares. I was scared of this game for a long time after seeing that! And I only missed ONE SINGLE IMPORTANT PIECE!
Don't you just hate when you forgot last thing?
That's actually pretty morbid.
I remember this game being friggin hard as a kid, then I replayed it a few days ago and beat it in one sitting. Still the best 8 hours I've had with a game in a long time.
Well, it's canon now
1:57 Steve: We did it guys! *Stretches
Blue Pikmin: so um, did you pay attention when he taught us how did pick plants
Yellow: no. So now he’s stuck forever hehe
Red: uhhh
Red:
*Damnit*
the thought of this being canon is scary
This is either pretty dang dark or somewhat sweet depending on your perspective. Looking at it negatively, Olimar has now become forced to resign himself to being a pikmin man on this uncharted planet for the rest of his life and he will very likely never see his family/friends on Hocotate again. On the bright side, it shows the companionship the Pikmin had to Olimar to bring him back to life as a pikmin, and we know Olimar developed a certain fondness for the planet and these pikmin and now, in a strange twist of fate, he can spend the rest of his life fully experiencing the planet outside of his suit as the alpha pikmin with his pikmin friends.
It would be fun to have an alternative scenario game in which Olimar is desperately spending his life trying to find a way in his new Pikmin body to get off the planet and back to Hocotate to report his findings and see his friends/family, even if he has to remain a pikmin and his friends/family will never see him the same way again.
He actually died and a pikm in seed is growing out of his hair
Oh god this is so f'd up 😟
Well then, I guess we know why we’re gathered here today?
Was showing my partner this for that very reason lmao
Glad to see them expand on this ending in the fourth game
Quite frankly, I like this ending a lot.
I love the Pikmin. Even though Olimars death is sad, Pikmar was born! And he will have tons of fun with his little pikmin to keep him company.
pikim can't pluck
+Green Greens have u never heard of nintendo logic duh
Haha. Pikmin 4
@@sergotdorce2029 I'd wager they can, it's just that with Olimar around it makes no sense since he's much more efficient at it, but the Pikmin survived on their own before Olimar came so they must at least be able to get themselves out of the ground or pluck others.
If the trailer for Pikmin 4 is to be believed, this is the canon ending. Unless Olimar has been getting into Elmo cosplay...
I love how the Pikmin are innocently wanting to save Olimar and how it's actually really creepy if you think about it.
Dandori issue
Thumbs up if you’re rewatching this after experiencing the pikmin 4 demo…
Damn I never realized how dark this actually is.
This ending and game in general is a bit messed up when you think about it.
Nintendo: That’s what you get for being so lazy
The thing I find so interesting about the endings for pikmin 1 is that it plays the exact same jingle when the results screen comes up even if you get the best or worst ending. But depending on what ending you get the results jingle can sound very depressing or very sweet even though the jingle never changes. And that’s w a c k
When your ship literally refuses to leave the stratosphere because you forgot your spring
When you forget a cushion
To make things worse: He has a wife and children waiting for him.
Don't worry, the Rescue Corps will find him. (Hopefully)
this is olimars canon event
IT'S DANDORI TIME
So I wonder if this olimar becomes the pikmin-like antagonist in pikmin 4?
I'm convinced that, when the Pikmin were dragging Olimar to the Onion, they were dragging his *corpse* .
Because Hocotatians like him can't breathe oxygen and his life-support system failed.
I don't know if turning him into a Pikmin revived him or not.
Good thing this isn't canon, right?
R I G H T ?
What does he breathe then?
@@Chill-Noob1 marijuana?
@@Chill-Noob1 It's never revealed what they breathe or what gas they use to cultivate their plants.
Well..... kind of. Olimar mensioned having a dream just like this in Pikmin 3
1:55 now introducing the first black pikmin!
Darklight 645 I used to always think it was green when I was like 3
Neat, a pikmin that has the n word pass
@@aceeeeex9 Lol
I feel as though the pikmin saved Olimar from dying....
Everyone can have their own opinion though :P
Pope Jesus Pants Yeah.
the leaf is symbiotic, and helped him survive because the pikmin and onion are sentient and knew he was at deaths door, so the onion put the plant stuff in him so he could breathe oxygen and therefore didnt suffocate because normally oxygen is lethal but the plant removes that fact--
wait...
can he breathe oxygen and whatever atmosphere his home planet has (i forget what it is) also?
*GASP*
LET THIS BE TRUE, NINTENDO!!!!
@@Resetium carbon dioxide, not oxygen.
This traumatized me as a kid so bad I didn't touch the game for over 10 years
just watched this after the 6.21.2023 nintendo direct. giving me chills.
Im thinking that this olimar becomes the red antagonist in pikmin 4!
These comments didn't age well
There is an opinion that this scene is Pikmin's desperate measures to save the beloved Olimar, but nothing is certain yet.
This is canon now
This is actually my favorite ending. Imagine olimar running around, smacking the shit out of a firey blowhog. PLUS, since he "died" with his suit on, he is ammune to poison, water, AND fire!
Didn't you post this already?
For some reason the scene where Olimar died from the crash, it still scares the crap out of me
i see this as the pikmins' good will. they are saving him in the only way they know, and celebrate when he comes out alive either way. they love him!! they do what they can!!
My bro and I played this when he was in high school. He did not know this would happen. I was traumatized by this as a kid and he was shook. It's still just as sad as I remember.
Pikmin 1: "Welp...We did the best we could."
Pikmin 2: "If we learn to pluck seeds like him one day, he's the first one I'll do."
Jesus christ, this is what happens? Is the leaf in reality a fucking brain parasite?? Thats horrifying
legion999 yes, there are pikmin versions of the bulborbs
imthescatguy I wonder if this is how Bulbmin were made.
+imthescatguy Those are different species though. In Pikmin two, the Bulbmin are a result of a parasitic species of pikmin.
+legion999 Considering that parasite Pikmin are 100% canon (you use them in caves in the second game as they infect the brain of larval Bulborbs), would not doubt it one bit. On top of that, the Puffstool can release spores that screw with a Pikmin's brain, turning them into mushroom Pikmin that attack Olimar and the spores have a chance of killing their host Pikmin, there's a deformed Mamuta called a Smokey Progg that runs around the Distant Spring and can suffocate Pikmin instantly, Pikmin most likely follow Olimar because they think he's a superior Pikmin and therefore follow his orders without question, AND, in the bad ending of the game, Olimar leaves behind a wife and two kids (and a dog).
This isn't even mentioning in the second game, a heavily pregnant Bulborb queen that constantly gives birth to Bulborbs and has a tendency to roll around and squish them and, in the third game, a golden plasma spirit thing that creates hallucinations of monsters. Oh, and then there's Louie who grew up being forced to eat bugs in his grandma's backyard and then, in the third game, thinks it's alright to steal all the food from random strangers as an act of "revenge".
As adorable as some things are in the Pikmin series, it can get insanely creepy and dark in an instant.
ShougaTouki The Smoky Progg is actually a baby Mamuta, believe it or not.
It's sad
Kinda scary
But a bit cute (and sad) how the pikmim tried saveing olimar the best they could.
Well, we can comfirm that is the canon ending
im this feels that gonna age bad
You sprouted over 4 thousand Pikmin, holy shit! Think I only grew 500 in my playthrough.
I played and completed this game for the first time right before the re-released was announced for the switch, and I'm glad I did, because if I played this as a kid, I would've easily gotten the bad ending and be traumatized by it. But as a 18 year old playing it, and seeing the bad ending is just disturbing yet hilarious.
Oh, my. This is an interesting development.
You will still get this bad ending if you have 28 part cuz if you don't have all 25 necessary Parts it doesn't matter whether you have 28 total if you're missing at least 1 necessary part you're going to end up with this ending.
Pikmin 4 foreshadow
And then Pikmin 4 happens.
Oh, lil' child, you failed...
NOW LOOK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OLIMAR!!!
As of Pikmin 4 this ending might be cannon.
Olimar will pluck in Pikmin 4.
This is the canon ending as of Pikmin 4
Damn you can take this as either two completely different ways.
One, they revive their fallen captain as one of them or two they use his corpse as fertilizer for new pikmin.
you know... it doesnt seem to bad, at least hes the leader of the pikmins now and can breathe on the planet without his helment. Hes literaly the tarzan of the pikmans :D
Still, asimilation is by far the creepiest and down right disturbing thing someone can do.... O_o
Nope, he's dead. The leaf is like a parasite and his body is just an empty shell. He can't be plucked anyway.
+Melody Wizz maybe the leaf is symbiotic
i prefer thinking the leaf is symbiotic
@@Resetium
But he would get eaten in a couple of days, sucks to not being the superior species of a planet.
@@astrowiz3544 Then again, we don’t know how the onions work... maybe he still has his memories and soul?
It’s obvious they are trying to save him everything else the pit in the onion pops out as a pure oilman seed but he comes out different
For some reason this scared me/tripped me out as a kid
So thats how olimars final smash came to be
This gives a new definition to end of day
10 years it's been, nice
ONE OF US, ONE OF US.
